Inns in Taiwan, China

The Palmer Hotel is within 5 minutes walk from the Taichung Railway Station.  The remodeled room’s design is nice, pleasant, and functional.  The bed sheet, towels, and drapery are clean. The air confining works well with a cold personal fridge! The room service staff is friendly with good work. The breakfast serves different dishes everyday and they were tasty varieties! I consider the CP value (cost and price) is very high! It is highly recommended for the budget solo travelers!

The location is super convenient—just a short walk from Taipei Main Station, which made getting around the city and to the airport so easy. I always felt safe even when coming back a bit late, which is a huge plus when you’re traveling alone. The place itself is clean, cozy, and well-maintained. The rooms are simple but comfortable, and the common areas are nice if you want to relax or meet other travelers. What stood out the most was how accommodating and friendly the staff were—they’re always ready to help with directions, recommendations, or anything you need. As a female solo traveler, safety and comfort are everything, and Main Inn definitely delivered. It has a welcoming vibe that makes you feel at home while still being budget-friendly. Highly recommend this place if you’re planning a solo trip to Taipei 💛

The positive thing is the location. It was walkable to 2 MRT stations and simending. The room and bathroom look old. The room was also a fire exit, attached to the window was a fire excape device which was very dusty , the window behind the curtain was also very dusty. Otherwise the room appeared superficially clean but the carpet was stained. The reception is located on the third floor. Check-in and check-out procedures were simple and fast. Security of the room is inadequate as anyone can walk in from the street and go up to the room levels. 2 card keys are issued at check in even for triple room, additional card can be issued with a refundable deposit. Ozone machine was used in the room; and we started coughing for 1-2 hrs after entering the room. One of the two washing machines were not working. There was no daily room cleaning, towels can be exchanged piece for piece at the reception. We stayed for 7 days and were allowed room cleaning once.

The location is great, right by the main road and not a far walk from the MRT. The breakfast offered a decent variety of choices, not overly extensive but not too limited either. The staff provided excellent service. One day, we had to leave the hotel early for a trip out of town, before breakfast hours. We asked if the hotel could arrange breakfast for us, and they kindly packed it in a lovely box. Many thanks!

This hostel is not so far from city center or the popular places. Seems like a capsule hotel in Japan. The hotel staffs were kind, they only speaks ********* but they tried to communicate with me. Sadly this hostel is one of the cheapest hostel in Taichung. Whether you can sleep soundly depends on other guests. There is a kitchen but it’s out of service. You can buy food at the convenience store close to the hotel.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, just a 10-minute walk from Taichung Railway Station. Miyahara Eye Hospital is also nearby. There's a 24-hour convenience store downstairs, though the night market is a bit of a walk, about 30 minutes. A bus stop is right in front of the hotel, and you can rent a scooter directly across the street, making it super convenient to get around.

The hotel is a bit slightly crampped because of the king bed but it is very close to a lot of amenities right down below there is a whole walking Street of shopping

Great location and good sized room. Didn’t get the lake view room but could still see the lake. If you arrive late in the day then driving to the hotel for check in is chaotic with people everywhere. The car park is 5 min walk so reccomend driving down to check in, dump suitcases and then drive up. Breakfast was great, lots of options buffet style and lake views.

My stay at Yoshi Hotel was pretty good this time. First off, the hotel environment was clean and comfortable overall. The room was well-maintained, and the bed was soft and comfy, allowing me to fully relax. The public areas were also tastefully designed, giving off a cozy yet stylish vibe. The location was convenient, with good amenities nearby, making it easy to dine out or shop. The staff's attitude was also impressive; they were very friendly from check-in to check-out and patiently helped whenever I had questions, which made the overall experience even better. Although some facilities were a bit basic, considering the price, it offered great value for money. Overall, it's a hotel worth recommending, and I'd consider staying again if I have the chance.

The cleanliness was acceptable, but the carpet looked a bit old and seemed to only get basic cleaning without proper maintenance. I checked in after 10 PM, so there was only one staff member at the front desk. There was a difficult guest in front of me, who also booked through ***********, complaining that the hotel didn't clearly state that her room had no windows and was trying to demand a room change. However, the hotel was fully booked, so her request couldn't be met. I booked through Trip.com and clearly saw the 'no window' disclaimer, so I found her complaints a bit unreasonable and felt impatient while waiting, as she was holding up the line for everyone else. Although they did prioritize us afterward, I still feel like they could use one more staff member during that time. Overall, at least the cleanliness was decent, providing a comfortable environment to rest. It's just the carpet that could use some maintenance – it's a bit... old, and I don't think it's been professionally cleaned. That's something that needs improvement.
