2-Star Hotels in Taiwan, China

The cleanliness was acceptable and consistent with the hotel’s facility rating. The location was excellent and suited our needs perfectly, as it is located right next to Taipei Main Station and can be reached in less than a 10-minute walk via the underground passage. Breakfast is served on the 6th floor, but there is no lift access, which may be inconvenient for elderly guests or those with mobility issues. However, it should not be a problem for younger guests. Overall, the hotel met our expectations and offered good value for its convenient location.

The editor's online conversation was very enthusiastic and sincere, but the male employee who received us on site had a blank expression 🫥 and no emotional introduction. I thought I was still in Taipei, but we asked enthusiastically and excitedly. Other than that, the overall environment was generally good. If you are afraid of noise, please be careful. The train is right next to you and will still come in and stop very late, and the sound will be amplified.

Excellent location, walking distance from Taipei Main Station, many departures from Taipei Post Office bus station next street. I like the staircase design of double-decker bed, there is bathroom and a sink inside the room, apart from the hallway ones. The building is old, however, a few stair steps before reaching the lift. Water dispenser is only located on 2/F but lack on 6/F. Lots of food choices downstairs. Room price was the cheapest I could find. 

The room was spacious and clean, and opening the curtains revealed an unbeatable sea view – perfect for enjoying the scenery. The owner was incredibly helpful, providing us with all sorts of information about Kaohsiung and anything else we wanted to know. So kind! A truly perfect experience.

The room design is great, the breakfast is delicious, the landlady's service staff are friendly and provide all kinds of inquiries. The room is clean, tidy and comfortable. The hotel is also in a great location, very close to the beach.

You get what you pay for. All in all can't complain. Can't flush toiletpapier so there are open bins with used paper in hot toilets with bad ventilation, so you do the math. Breakfast is available but also not worth setting your alarm for. Big plus that you can share a bed together!

After coming back from Taiwan, I suddenly realized I hadn’t posted any photos or written a review about the adorable wooden cabin our family stayed in at Jiufen. Everyone in my family loved this place so much that I had to jot everything down now that I finally have some free time. Most people I know usually stay in Taipei longer and just make a day trip to Jiufen without spending the night. As for me—I’ve lived in Hong Kong for quite a while, so compared to Hong Kong, Taipei didn’t leave much of an impression on me in terms of sights or food. The only thing that truly made me want to visit Taiwan was Jiufen — a sparkling little gem between the mountains and the sea 🏮🌿🌊 Jiufen feels like a dreamy fairytale village with its winding narrow alleys, steep stone stairways, and the warm glow of red lanterns everywhere. Walking around felt like stepping into another world, almost like a scene from a manga — especially for anyone who’s watched Spirited Away. ⸻ ⭐🛖 Review of the wooden cabin called Twilight Forest in Jiufen Just a 5-minute walk from the Old town, this wooden cabin brings together the warm glow of wood and the peaceful feeling of retreating into nature. It has a unique A-frame design, and at night, when the lights turn on, the whole place becomes incredibly cozy — the golden light shining through the windows and the plants around it create a “hideaway from the world” kind of vibe. Inside, the space is open, airy, and tastefully decorated in a rustic style. There’s a small terrace with a swing chair hanging straight from the ceiling — sitting there at night, listening to insects and the wind rustling through the leaves, feels genuinely healing 🙃. 🛁🌿 Highlight: The glass-walled bathroom in the garden This is the standout feature of the cabin. The bathtub is large and comfortable, placed right next to a 180° glass wall looking directly into a lush green garden. Natural daylight pours in, making your daytime bath feel like an outdoor spa surrounded by plants. (There’s also a roller blind if you need privacy) Jiufen is a tiny village perched on a mountain, and it doesn’t have many hotels that offer spacious, comfortable accommodations. That’s why I was so happy to find this wooden cabin. Our family had the most wonderful two-night stay here. If I ever return to Taipei, I would definitely book this place again ❤️

Perhaps I had managed my expectations beforehand, knowing that mountain hotels shouldn't be held to super high standards. So, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it actually was upon checking in. The double room was quite spacious, and the location is near the post office, not too far from the train station. It's quite a distance to the transfer station, but the hotel offers a shuttle service, which is incredibly thoughtful! Overall, I highly recommend this place.

First and foremost, the location is a huge plus, it's very close to Ximen Station! Secondly, they offer luggage storage, and the front desk staff are great! The room was reasonably clean, with disposable covers on the bedding. There was a small trash can, a pair of slippers, and four power outlets. The bathroom was very clean, equipped with a hairdryer, water heater, shower gel, and shampoo.

The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I arrived late, so they left my key card at the front desk, and I checked in the next morning. The bunk beds in the room were a bit low, and while there were lockers, a 24-inch suitcase wouldn't fit inside.
