Getting here from the train station took 1.5 hrs because of a traffic jam. The facilities, service, food, rooms are all top class & faultless. There were 12 in my family who stayed 3 days & 2 nights & we loved every moment of our stay. Canaries sing in the hotel foyer to greet you:) If you are looking for... More

Silks Place at the Taroko Gorge is absolutely wonderful. The hotel design is understated, blending in with its surroundings. We felt relaxed and welcomed as soon as we stepped in. Rooms are enormous and clean, with fast wifi, and the buffet breakfasts and dinners were generous and delicious. We were most impressed by the waitresses' thoughtful services. In the evening... More

- Stayed 1 night as part of a tour in Taiwan. Hotel is nice, rooms are comfortable and the location in the Taroko National Park is perfect. We were a group of 14, had a dinner reservation at 19:30 in the buffet restaurant which is a combination of buffet and main course order. The buffet start at 17:30 and lasts... More

Weekday rate is fantastic value; inclusive of lavish buffet breakfast and dinner, room is delightful and sizeable, daily day and night activites (aerobics, yoga, aboriginal performance, singing, etc), large infinity swimming pool at rooftop and other essential facilities to keep you occupied. Unforgettable view esp. during the night of the lit pagoda from the rooftop. Staff... More

This was a fantastic hotel and I would love to come again. Before I get into the review, two quick summary points: 1) It is excellent, you must stay here. 2) If so, book the hotel as a package from the hotel website – much better value. Read below. I had read all the great reviews on TripAdvisor and was... More

Twice I have stayed in this lovely hotel (April 2009, October 2011) in the heart of the Taroko National Park and both occasions were sublime but sadly only one night apiece. The service was the highest quality, and room, bed, bathroom all well appointed and the breakfast bar superb with the pleasant outside patio the choice for warmer mornings. There... More

I spent 3 wonderfully relaxing days in this hotel and really didn't want to leave. There are many 'niggles' I had with the room, which I set out below, but even all of these together could not detract from the experience that this lovely place provides. Nestled in the foot of the mountains in the midst of the Taroko Gorge,... More
