Shuian Lakeside Hotel

“Great location; Old and quirky”

There are 2 hotels called Shuian in Ita Thao, Sun Moon Lake. This is the one at the harbour front, right where the boats are docked.

There are 2 hotels called Shuian in Ita Thao, Sun Moon Lake. This is the one at the harbour front, right where the boats are docked. Ita Thao is the most happening place in SML (with free/payable outdoor/indoor performances and shows). There are lots of local shops, with warm, friendly and folksy shopkeepers. It is also near the Formosan Aboriginal Theme Park. It is a rather old establishment, as are most of the hotels in Ita Thao. BUt is was claen and comfortable enough. Our room had a huge picture windows with panoramic view of lake. It was a big spacious room with a king-sized bed. There was was a unique stand alone bathtub in a bathroom with inner and outer glass walls. (But you can let down the blinds for privacy.) There is Tea/Coffee service in the room. However, coffee satchets in every Taiwan hotel we stayed in were 3-in-1 type (ie milk and sugar included) and Convenience stores only sell the 3-in-1 satchets too. So Byo if you want black and no sugar. The only other alternative is to buy a brewed from a cafe or Convenience store. Note: Most of the people we met in the smaller Taiwanese towns did not speak much English. Shop signs of local shops are only in Chinese. Get a photo shop of your hotel/restaurant name and address in Chinese as even taxi drivers in the city may not know the English name.

“Nice Location, but old fashioned. Overpriced.”

The positives: The location of the hotel is very near to the boat house. Very convienient. The staff are kind and helpful and provide required information about the the place. Decent old styled room. Shower and Toilets are clean. The Negatives: The room rates are high, compared to the facilities. … lisää

Location The hotel is located right in front of the pier, which means it can be quite noisy during the day. But since we've to get around the lake during the day, it doesn't bother us much. Room The room comes with queen size bed. Rather small room. It has a jacuzzi bathtub in there, and I got some bubble foam when I'm in chiayi. I've selected the lake view room and the toilet is fully transparent. Which means whatever you are doing in the bathroom, your travel partner can have a full view of it. There's only one bathroom, I think is at level 3, which comes with a bind. The rest of the lake view bedroom doesn't come with binds. Price Price is a little steep. Service The service provided by the reception is excellent. They will go all out to help you. The boat ride and cable ride tickets can be purchased at the reception as well.

“Overprice”

Hotel looks a bit quaint. Room is of average size. Bathroom is poorly designed with no hooks for hanging clothes nor towel. Shower gel and shower difficult to reach and bath tub does not come with a shower curtain. Floor gets wet every time we shower. No fridge, only TV, slippers, kettle and tea. B… lisää

Shower gel and shower difficult to reach and bath tub does not come with a shower curtain. Floor gets wet every time we shower. No fridge, only TV, slippers, kettle and tea. Bed is quite comfortable. Breakfast choices are only bread and porridge. Coffee and tea. No chocolate.
