Hotels in South District, Taichung

The location of the hotel is situated near many bus stations, which is considered quite convenient as we are in Taichung and not everywhere is accessible by MRT. However, the hotel looked more worn out than expected. While it’s not too narrow, the amenities could be improved with newer replacements. There is no separation between the toilet and the shower, so it’s hard to ensure the toilet is dry all the time.

I did not expect this accommodation to be a motel based on its Chinese name, so it was a bit of a surprise when I checked in. The location is very convenient, which is a big plus. However, the overall environment had a slight smell of cigarette smoke. The room itself was spacious, but for guests arriving on foot, the access route is not very intuitive—you need to go down to the basement first and then enter through the parking garage, which makes the circulation feel somewhat inconvenient.

This was my first time staying at this hotel. I called them because I needed to stay an extra night. The staff were very friendly and gave me great advice. However, the shower water was only available in hot and cold water. No matter how I adjusted it, I couldn't get warm water. When I adjusted it to the middle, the water would instantly turn from hot to cold.

The room was very clean. The bathroom also appeared to be renovated, and everything was spotless.

Very Good!

The room is small but nicely furnished. Everything is new and my room has a good view of the traffic rotary. It is conveniently located next to the main strain station. Finding the hotel building is a different story. The hotel name and the name on Google Maps don't match and the locals don't seem to know it. To walk to the hotel (3-5 minutes), I have to walk past scores of homeless elderly people sleeping around the station. I wish the city government to do more to help the poor. During my stay, I may have experienced an earthquake from the aftershocks of the April earthquake. I went back to sleep...

I had a pleasant stay at Norway Forest Hotel in Taichung. The location is excellent, just a short walk from Taichung Train Station, which makes traveling around the city very convenient. There are also many restaurants and convenience stores nearby. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was clean with good water pressure. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay. The hotel also has a playground for children, which is great for families, as well as laundry and drying facilities, very convenient for longer stays. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money and I would recommend it to travelers visiting Taichung.

Throughout my entire trip to Taiwan, Lude truly made my day! Upon check-in, I was immediately drawn to the clean, fresh, minimalist, and well-designed decor. Unlike other hostels with shared public bathrooms, Lude's single rooms are essentially a private room for one person, sharing a bathroom with just one other adjacent room. This significantly reduces the chance of multiple people disturbing each other, and I had an excellent night's sleep. The next day, after checking out, I lingered for a long time in the beautiful common area. The bright floor-to-ceiling windows, rich and charming cultural and creative products, high-quality and affordable homemade pour-over coffee, and warm black tea made me reluctant to leave. My biggest regret is not staying here for a few more days. On my next trip, in any city where Lude exists, I will definitely visit and experience different room types. Wishing them prosperous business! This is truly an amazing place to stay.

The location is super convenient, just a five-minute walk from Taichung Station. The staff are all very friendly. The room was clean and spacious enough. Overall, it's excellent value for money.
