Guest UserShifang Mountain and River is located at a small stop on the way to Alishan. It's about a 15-minute walk from the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle bus stop. The scenery is pleasant, and the rooms are very clean and tidy. You can see clouds drifting by right from your window – absolutely stunning! The room's aroma diffuser had a lovely tea scent, which they also sell at the property. The restaurant is in a separate building. The hotel offers a hot pot dinner at an additional cost, with a wide variety of delicious food. Breakfast is an included buffet. The owner makes pour-over coffee on the first floor, and the coffee beans are also available for purchase. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommended!

Guest UserAre all hotel rooms in Alishan small? This 10-something square meter room definitely isn't worth the price. There's no heating or air conditioning in the room. I saw vents and a central control system, but they weren't on? This wasn't mentioned when booking. After I booked, I received an email saying they don't have AC. It got a bit cold in the middle of the night, and they wanted an extra 200 for an additional blanket after I checked in. Is it normal to charge extra for basic comfort like staying warm? And a major issue: the hotel doesn't have an elevator. I saw a guest staying on the fifth floor struggling terribly with their luggage.

The hotel is located amidst tea bushes in a beautiful location with parking available. The service by the staff from the point we arrived was great, friendly and courteous and didnt have any problem in language. The room was great and clean, had coffee and filtered drinking water. And hot water shower. Our rooms were located in the back of the area so not much of a view, didnt mind as we booked quite last minute so understandable. Breakfast can be improved, while there is a spread, the flavour was lacking compared to other taiwanese meals and a bit of chilli oil and seasoning to add on would help. Dinner you have to pay 400twd per person if you want to enjoy the Hotpot they provided every night. My only issue was with the construction that was happening right next to my room where it was loud and disturbed the whole day which I planned to stay in enjoying the peace and quiet of the balcony. There was no warning given of this, nor a discount on the room if they had planned this ahead. Where is as expecting peace and quiet 1.5 days had loud construction and people shouting as they were building another room next to our rooms.

Guest UserThis accommodation isn't too far from the Alishan entrance, but it requires climbing a very steep staircase to get there. I hope the front desk staff can be a bit more approachable, as we're tourists and have a lot of questions. The room itself was nice, with a heated blanket that kept us very warm. They also provide a water dispenser. Breakfast was filling but nothing special. Thank you.

ShuxiaEnvironment is peaceful and suitable for people who drive because it's quite far away from Taiping Bridge and not accessible by public transport. So we ended with plenty of time after arrival. So we engaged a private car to chauffeur us the next day for NT3500 from Minsu to Taiping Bridge (too misty to see anything), then had lunch at Fenqihu and finally stopped at Alishan hotel. We should have stuck to original plan to just go Fenqihu for NT1000 transport fare and stay there for a night because when we reached Alishan, it was near 3:30p.m., there's not much time for us to roam the place due to the gloomy weather and heavy mist.

You can find it by going up the slope opposite the gray house, which is across from the East Xiding Bus Stop. However, as soon as I arrived, the neighbor's dog started barking.
There was no staff when I got there; I had to call the owner. The neighbor's grandma helped out.
After 8:30 PM, there was no running water, though there was still water for handwashing.
Overall, it was clean.
There's a restaurant (with hot pot) right across from the guesthouse, at the bus stop.
They also offer pre-ordered lunchboxes (available for pickup at 11 AM the next day).
Walking towards the elementary school, there are convenience stores and restaurants, which is handy.
The landlady is very chatty.
Fireflies can be seen nearby (see pictures).
After rain in August and September, I even saw a super giant, perfect rainbow, and sometimes even a double rainbow.
The guesthouse lobby entrance displays the daily sunrise and sunset times.
There were groups of three to five flies at the entrance and in the lobby.
The lobby has menus, poetry collections, tourist information, tea bags (they smell wonderful even without brewing, and the brewed tea is very layered), coffee grounds, and a kettle.
The tables are made from old sewing machine bases.
The shower gel was my favorite verbena scent.
After eating in the lobby, I had to walk quite a distance to wash my hands, which was inconvenient.
There was no hot water for handwashing in the kitchen.
Every time someone walked by, the neighbor's dog would bark.
**Dorm Room Experience:**
I really liked the bed curtain material.
The bed was very comfortable.
The bamboo blinds and wooden ceiling were great.
There were many storage cubbies and lockers (each cubby was assigned to a bed).
But there were no actual lockers.
And for some reason, even though we were in the same room and paid the same price, another bed didn't have a bed curtain, no power outlet by the bed, and no storage cubbies under the bed. It felt like differential treatment.
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, the neighbor's dog would bark.
Breakfast was very filling; the egg pancakes were already cut into pieces, which was thoughtful; the blueberries were very sweet; the mushrooms had a buttery aroma; the edamame was cold and seasoned like salted chicken.
The coffee grounds were specially blended by the owner's friend and cannot be bought elsewhere.
If guests weren't present during meals, the landlady would cover the food with tissue paper, but flies still got close. I suggest using a plate to seal the surface.
**Double Room (with private bathroom):**
The room was large, the bed was large, the bathtub was large, and it had mountain views.
**Twin Room (shared bathroom):**
Simple and sufficient.

Jessie.THighly recommended if you are looking for a chill and comfortable stay. The environment was great, quiet, and relaxing, while the owner was very friendly and helpful. The owner requested an additional TWD200 for my 5-year-old boy and kindly upgraded our room from 3 double beds to 4 double beds.
The breakfast was comforting and tasty. They also provided stationery and coloring materials for kids to draw and paint, which was perfect for keeping my little one entertained. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. The owner also kindly explained the route to Alishan and even brought us to watch the sunrise, which made the experience even more memorable.

The view from the room was absolutely stunning! It was also super convenient to walk to Xiashi Road, so no need to worry about parking. You can even park directly at the guesthouse and it's just a one-minute walk, plus you get to see the tea plantations. For dinner, we had a delicious hotpot with a light and tasty broth.

The name is very grand. From the appearance, you can see how the original owner put a lot of effort into building it. It is beautiful and some of the saunas in the facilities are great! The temperature is sufficient and the water is clean. It's a pity that the steam room is not open, but overall I am very satisfied. There is an outdoor swimming pool for swimming, an indoor gym, a children's playroom, several game consoles, etc. for use. Great!
Have breakfast at Galileo Western Restaurant, the beef soup is super recommended! Others are ordinary but reasonably varied. Afternoon tea is great! It is recommended that everyone try their afternoon tea if you have the opportunity! If you want to take a vacation, you can come here~ It takes about 5 minutes to walk to Renyitan near the hotel. The lake and mountains are beautiful, especially the sunset, which is very beautiful!

Hoàng ĐâyyThe room even though was small but it has a cozy vibe to it, especially a good smell of woods. There is no elevator going up but seeing that we were 2 girls travelling together, the lady at the front desk got us to stay on the 2nd floor so we only needed to climb 1 flight of stairs 🙏🙏
The location was EXTREMELY convenient! Close to everything! We couldn't imagine the map of the Alishan Mountain Park but it's truly just a circle, you go one route you're bound to return to where you started, and the hotel is at the centre of that circle so no worries when you get there, just follow Google Maps.
Hotel offers free, hearty breakfast at nearby shop, and they have a service to take you to view the sunrise on Alishan, too. It costs 300 TWD each guest and they also call you in the morning to ensure you'll be able to be up early and go see the sun.
