“Not a great location but a nice modern hotel”

Away from the coast, pretty much on its own. Nice, modern 10-story hotel. My room is large with an oversize bed which is quite comfortable. Free internet is fast and reliable.

Away from the coast, pretty much on its own. Nice, modern 10-story hotel. My room is large with an oversize bed which is quite comfortable. Free internet is fast and reliable. The hotel is apparently known for its hot springs. My tour guide told me that I would have private hot springs in my room but that turned out to be a bathtub that can be filled with water from the hot springs by way of the faucet. My initial reaction to the room was that the bathroom fixtures were dirty and the shower glass spotted. After seeing the rest of the hotel, I now think that the hot springs water is very calcified and fixtures are just difficult to clean. I am very impressed with breakfast. An extensive array of delicious food items are available, both Western and Asian. Except for the out of the way location, I think this is quite a nice hotel and would recommend it.

“Hot spring over-rated”

The rooms have everything required. There are snacks and drinks in the room but nothing to tell you that they are in fact complimentary. At the restaurant buffet for dinner it is not possible to put a Western meal together. There are main dishes but no vegetables or potatoes. The room has a… lisää

The rooms have everything required. There are snacks and drinks in the room but nothing to tell you that they are in fact complimentary. At the restaurant buffet for dinner it is not possible to put a Western meal together. There are main dishes but no vegetables or potatoes. The room has a "hot spring" bath. This is a total waste of time. It is just a normal bath that happens to have water that comes from a hot spring. There is a lack of English spoken by the staff.

“Bad laundry room experience. Would not stay here again.”

I came to Taitung to attend Taitung University's Overseas Mandarin Teacher Summer Camp. The program selected this hotel for us. I will list the pros and cons of this hotel. Pros: Clean, nice lobby, have free activities for guests such as soap making, etc. Nice updated room. Good breakfast buffet. Cons: Poor wifi connection. Have to make multiple attempts everyday to logon the wifi. Ended up having to use other's guestrooms wifi many times for it to work. My biggest complaint is the laundry room. We are staying in this hotel for 10 nights and the program is 2 weeks. Therefore, we need to do laundry. Originally, I was very excited that the hotel has a laundry room. However, it is on the rooftop floor with no A/C or any fans. It's July in Taitung and the weather is very hot! With no A/C or fan in the laundry room it's very unbearable for hotel guests to do laundry. I called the front desk to ask if they can bring a fan to the laundry room and she said because of fire hazard they don't put a fan in there. Also, the laundry room in located in this uninsulated, dark rooftop floor. I don't understand why they can't even put a light up there. Lastly, there is no phone located in the laundry room or outside. So, when the washing maching broke today, I had to go down to the lobby at least 3 times to request help. Very frustrating and unplesasnt experience. Would recommend this hotel if you don't need to do laundry. However, if you plan to don't stay here. Also, service is not very good. The employees here don't seem to understand English. So, to communicate you would need to speak Chinese.
