Scenic Hotels in Taichung

"Even though it's next to an overpass and a bit noisy at night, the cleanliness is excellent, the lobby is beautiful, and all the services are great. There's also parking available for both cars and scooters. The bathtub by the window is fantastic! The toilet, shower, and tub are all separate, which is great for keeping things dry! The only minor drawback is that the sink in the bathroom tends to splash water out, but it doesn't affect usability and there's a drain on the floor anyway. Despite this small issue, I still highly recommend this place! Thank you."

"First time business trip in Taichung. This hotel is close to the train station, however not the high speed rail station so do not get mistaken if you take HSR from Taipei or Taoyuan. Hotel is pretty new and room is spacious. Generally good facilities. Nearby pretty busy area with quite some restaurants but a lot a full during dinner time with long lines."

"The hotel room was great, and the hotel staff at the concierge was great, given the price per night. However extra breakfast at TWD1087 pp was not value for money - little choices of food (e.g. the salad bar). Apparently there was short of staff (e.g. the omlette station was unattended). I would love to stay in the hotel in future trips to Taichung, but would not have breakfast there again."

"It's a relaxing environment, and the foot bath is a great feature. When traveling with children, you want a place where the kids can burn off energy while the adults relax. The environment is spacious and the scenery is beautiful. There's room for the kids to run and jump around, and it's amazing there are no mosquitoes! Everything is very comfortable."

"We had a great stay at Freshfields Hotel in Taichung. The hotel is very clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious, nicely maintained and very comfortable. While the location isn’t the most convenient, the hotel offers shuttle services that you can book in advance, which made getting around much easier. A heads-up for anyone planning to use the public baths: make sure to bring a swimming cap or shower cap, as well as a swimsuit. If you forget, you’ll need to purchase them at the hotel in order to use the facilities. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable experience!"

"The view is first class. You can see the sea of clouds in the morning. The construction of the manor and the valley environment are very harmonious. The breakfast is good and full. Will come again"

"Great for family trip. The service of room was satisfying and quite fast. As soon as we enter our room in third floor, we noticed the size of slippers provided was too large. To our surprise, they took care of the problem almost immediately. I will give the service five star. As for the swimming pool, the quality of water is also good enough for children in 6-12 age group. BTW, thanks for the swimming pool service people. They gave us medication for mosquito biting in emergency. Surely recommended for family trip destination."

"The toilet paper was located at the back, making it difficult to reach. The separation between the toilet and shower was only about one-third of the way across, making it difficult to use. We arrived late, just before 7pm, but they were able to prepare dinner for us, which was very helpful. (Pork hotpot, individual portions). Breakfast was plentiful, with porridge, bread, vegetables, and more, and we were very full. Everyone was very kind. I would definitely stay here again if I have the opportunity."

"We booked a one-night stay in a SPA-themed room with two double beds. We checked into the hotel at 7:35 PM on July 24th. Upon entering the room, we discovered the toilet wasn't flushing and there was no cold water in the private hot spring bathroom. We immediately notified the front desk, and hotel staff promptly came to fix it. They explained it might have been due to a water supply issue. Since the hot spring bathroom only had scalding hot water and no cold, it was impossible to take a bath. After urgent repairs, both hot and cold water were restored around 11:15 PM. However, by midnight, the toilet started leaking non-stop (it was still leaking when we checked out). Upon waking up in the morning, we were very concerned about a potential electrical hazard. Paying such a high price for a hotel with so many faulty facilities was truly not worth it. After checking out, the hotel offered us a pudding as an apology. However, this experience was utterly unsatisfactory, leaving a very poor impression of the hotel's facilities and overall quality. We definitely won't be returning."

"Best resort in Taiwan and worth every penny. Highest level of service - it’s like being at a modern luxury ryokan in Japan except everyone speaks Chinese. Room design is brilliant, and one king room fit my family of 2 adults and 2 toddlers with a California king and a separate tatami area. The room has an epic view from every angle the moment you walk in the door and includes a private outdoor onsen connected to your bathroom. I noticed many private in-room onsens in Japan are diluted down, but this was spring fed. The public onsen was huge, extremely well maintained, and included a large walled zen garden with an adjacent sauna and cold plunge. I was lucky enough to experience this area all to myself with one other guest leaving as I arrived and another guest arriving as I was leaving. In China, this onsen would have comfortably accommodated 100 bathers. The spring water is not high in sulfuric content (doesn’t smell like rotten eggs), and the temperature is relatively mild - ideal for my family. Given the limited availability of the hotel online, I was expecting it to be more crowded. I got the sense that room rates are controlled to optimize guest experience, not profit, while staff are trained to ensure that customers never feel like they are being ripped off or “sold”. It seemed there were more staff than guests on site. I originally booked 2 rooms, and some of my family members couldn’t make the trip. We didn’t need the second room, and the staff were very gracious to refund and cancel the second room on the spot. When I’m back in Taiwan or traveling to a place where Hoshinoya does business, I would not hesitate to book again and make a special journey to stay at one of their destination resorts."
