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 UserWalkable from Alishan Station. I stayed for one night. There's no elevator, but they'll help with heavy luggage. The room felt a bit small. A fridge and water dispenser are located on the first floor.
[Shower, Toilet]
The shower's temperature, water pressure, and hot water volume were all good. However, if many rooms are showering at the same time, the temperature and water volume can fluctuate. The toilet and shower are in the same room but separated, so the toilet doesn't get wet. There's limited space on the vanity for toiletries, but there's a hook to hang a travel pouch.
[Breakfast]
Breakfast is served at a nearby restaurant, which was a Chinese buffet.
[Other]
Bath towels provided.
Hair dryer available.
Shuttle bus to Alishan Station departs at 11:30 AM; advance booking required.
Luggage storage available.

Staying at Dafeng Hotel on a trip to Alishan. The quad room with two large beds was very comfortable. The hotel offers a shuttle service from the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle stop, which is very convenient. Luggage storage is right next to the lobby. This is an area with a whole row of hotels. It's very easy to get to Alishan train station. Overall, I'm satisfied.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Posted on Oct 6, 2026|European-style Double Room
Mary Deng DengI stayed at Ho Fong Villa Hotel for one night in a European-style Double Room. While the location was excellent, the overall experience fell short in several areas.
Cleanliness & Amenities: The amenities throughout the room were quite dated. I even found a spider in my bed. Additionally, the electrical socket was so loose that it was difficult to keep my phone charging, and the Wi-Fi connection was mediocre.
Noise & Comfort: Soundproofing is a major issue. The bathroom ventilation fan was very loud, and I could hear virtually everything from the neighboring room—talking, footsteps, and running water. The neighbors' voices ended up waking me up early.
Service: Check-in service felt unwelcoming. The staff didn't greet me and simply instructed me to leave my luggage and return later. On a positive note, they did remember to give me a sunrise wake-up call, though I was already awake due to the noise.
Overall, while the location is great, the hotel needs significant updates to its facilities, cleanliness, and service standards

Guest UserIt seems impossible to find reasonably priced accommodation in the Alishan Scenic Area, which is why even ********* locals feel domestic tourism in Taiwan isn't worth the cost. The hotel provides basic facilities, and I didn't expect good soundproofing, so I have no complaints there. I saw many complaints in the comments section about the lack of a shower curtain, but the owner seems completely indifferent to guest feedback, not bothering to make even simple improvements. So the bathroom and toilet just get completely soaked. To be honest, Alishan isn't an absolute must-see, but the related tourism infrastructure and the hotel's value for money directly influence a traveler's final choice.
