East hotel

Stayed here from 10 Apr to 14 Apr. It is about 10-15mins walk Taichung Railway station. The hotel is within the central district of Taichung (buildings are older here), but the hotel itself looks and feel relatively new and modern. It is conveniently located near lots of food options, and the Taichung Second Market and Miyahara is only about 5-10mins walk away. The room is clean and spacious. It has a nice modern design too. The basic amenities such as shampoo, shower gel, lotion and hairdryer are provided. Can’t seem to find local channels on the TV but you can use apps like netflix and youtube. The hotel also provides complimentary breakfast, tea time (if i recall correctly) and supper. The variety is acceptable given that this is not a big hotel. food is decent too. For breakfast there was a mini salad bar, porridge station, various steamed buns, toasts. For supper, there were braised minced meat rice and side dishes, soup, DIY noodle station, steamed buns, toasts, DIY beancurd station, some snacks/tidbits. There is also dessert with red/green bean soup, drinks and ice cream. Just one minor hiccup - a false fire alarm was trigger at 4am on one of the nights which only affected the higher floors from 9th storey and above. The guests on our storey werent aware if the lift is working or if it is safe to use and we ended up climbing the stairs down, only to find out later that there was no real fire. The affected guests waited at the lounge for about 30mins as the alarm was still ringing. The firemen eventually came and turned off the alarm. The hotel did apologise for the inconvenience by pasting a notice in the lift and informed guests to reach out to them if there are any queries. It would be nice if the hotel can engage the affected guests more directly and possible provide some form of compensation as service recovery. Nonetheless, still a pleasant stay overall!

Location: not near main transport mode Room: triple sharing room with a queen and super single bed. Basic amenities. Toothbrush is chargeable. Water dispenser available on every floor. Couldnt sleep well because of the pillow. Hotel: serves breakfast, tea and supper. Menu is the same throughout our 3d stay.

Only Aircon not that strong. Overall satisfied, as I got the Sanrio theme room. Thanks.

The room is cosy and sufficient for 2. Near to Taichung Second Market. Walkable to various tourists location! Recommended.

The room a bit small but overall it was a good experience. Clean and modern, friendly staff. Free breakfast and supper!!

Had to add a lot of money to change dates due to a flight delay. Pretty ok accom though.
