2-Star Hotels in Taichung

Located in the middle of a night market, and right on a main street, it's a convenient location with easy access to taxis. The hotel is in a multi-purpose building, and the signs outside are mainly in Chinese, so it might be a little difficult to find. The building's appearance might be a bit surprising, but the rooms were clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The bathroom was also clean, with a separate toilet and shower. We stayed in a twin room, which was larger than expected. The beds were further apart than in a typical twin room, providing a sense of privacy even for two people (though, since I was staying with a close friend, the distance actually made us feel a little lonely, haha). There are no slippers provided, but you can purchase disposable slippers for 10 yuan at the front desk. There's a spacious common area behind the front desk with a refrigerator and a kitchenette. It gets plenty of sunlight, so it would be nice to bring in drinks to enjoy there.

Stayed here for another three nights this time. I'm a returning guest, having stayed a few times before, and honestly, I'm too lazy to explore other options. The bunk beds in the room are sturdy, the air conditioning is powerful, and the privacy is excellent. The locker is quite large and comes with a key. The water pressure in the bathroom is strong, and there's a balcony where you can hang towels. The reception and common area are very spacious, offering a simple breakfast, an honesty shop, and coin-operated washing machines. Do note that the front desk service is not 24/7. Since the staff are usually busy with their work, if you're looking for more social interaction, you might have to take the initiative to strike up a conversation yourself. There's a rooftop available for use, but it doesn't seem like many people use it.

1. **Location** It's about a 10-minute walk from Taichung TRA Station. On the way to the hotel, you'll find Miyahara and the Fourth Credit Union, which are convenient stops. I heard the night market is a bit far, but I didn't go this time, so I'm not sure. 2. **Facilities** I stayed in a single room, and it was decent enough. The bedding was clean and nice, and the mattress was comfortable. The air conditioning worked well, and I was able to use the refrigerator. The bathroom was small, but understandable considering it's for one person. Also, there's a washing machine on each floor. You can get one laundry detergent capsule for 20 NT at the front desk on the first floor. It says you need to pay 40 NT for the washing machine, but if you put in 10 NT, it gives you 20 minutes. I only had a day's worth of laundry, so it took about 40 minutes, making 20 NT seem like the right amount. 3. **Breakfast** When checking in, they'll ask about breakfast. You just choose one option and a time. The next morning, when you go down at the chosen time, it'll be ready, and they'll give you your selected menu item and a banana. For drinks, I saw coffee, milk tea, etc. 4. **Other** The staff were friendly and helpful, which I appreciated. Also, there's a pharmaceutical museum on the first basement floor that's good for a quick look. The price was a bit higher because it was the weekend, but I'd like to stay here again on a weekday for a more affordable rate.

Big push! Many comments said that there is no clerk to assist and can't find anyone, but when I go to check in, the clerk will come out to assist at once. The spare parts cost is very reasonable. The room toilet is clean. The TV is super big. It is very cool to watch movies. The hotel can park the locomotive and a few cars. There is also a row of roadside parking spaces on the road. The most comfortable one I have ever lived in

I only stayed one night and it was pretty nice. They give earplugs. I took my breakfast as early as possible, as I was then heading to Sun Moon Lake. Bread, different jams, tea ... Simple but efficient.

This is an older business hotel, so the soundproofing isn't great, and there's a hallway right outside the window 😂. However, the service is professional, and it's very clean. For this price point, it's already excellent, and I'd be willing to stay here again.

The room was nice and clean. It was quite close to bus stops and train station. Has a lot of restos and boba tea nearby.

What I liked: the room looks exactly like the picture, friendly staff, AC, hot water shower with good pressure, mini fridge, great Internet, comfy bed, water dispenser, free coffee/tea/hot chocolate dispenser, good soundproofing, great location, quiet. What I didn't like: dirty walls with stains, mold in the bathroom, musty smell in the room. Also, the carpet in the hallways is in serious need of vacuuming.

The staff at North SEA Hotel were incredibly friendly and professional, but the hotel itself felt worn down. The bathrooms were especially outdated and sketchy, and overall the infrastructure needs renovation. For a place that’s quite expensive, especially on weekends, the quality doesn’t match the price. It’s also far from the train station and right by a main road, which can be noisy. Great service, but the facilities need major improvement.

!!TAKE NOTICE IF YOU WANT TO BOOK!! The address was !!! No. 23, Lane 101, Zhishan Rd, Xitun District, Taichung City, 407!!! I dunno why the boss still not updating as many people already complain the address but still It was good location from Feng Chia night market & there was no lobby staff for it just security staff. So any goes wrong or issues need to contact the boss. The room was average but need to improve the blanket as inside was messed up like a ball, so, need to change it. The bedroom was very very comfortable. The toilet is a bit old for the door & the soap handle already broken down. Overall, it was still ok & reasonable price for budget homestay. We will book again but need more improve the toilet
