“Good location & service. Average room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Arriving into Tainan by train the hotel is a brief 5 minute walk. Throughout our stay staff were very helpful. Breakfast was included and incorporated various Western style dishes. Our room was clean and functional. No view and the pool was under repair (looked long term!). Overall hotel was OK. A little overpriced but close to station and within walking distance of most of the main sights.

Room Tip: Don't get a 'courtyard' view room

“In URGENT need of renovations and refreshing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2010

people found this review helpful

I had to reserve one night at this hotel for Chinese New Year's. The check in was smooth and quick, the staff seemed very nice and welcoming, willing to answer any questions. Going down the hall to my room was my first sign. The design reminds of 1970s, very outdated. The room appears clean at first. There is a couch and an old TV. The bathroom is really small. Upon walking around in the hotel, I noticed that my socks got pretty dark. The bed was stiff, tough to sleep on. The positives are that the A/C worked and was not noisy.

The breakfast buffet is a complete joke for a hotel of this level. Imagine breakfast meats soaking in oily water and stale pastries.

The location is a positive though, as it is right next to the (not High speed) Rail Station.

Old, tired, and a bit dirty. I would not recommend this hotel.

“Effective but characterless hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2009
3
people found this review helpful

The hotel is about 5 mins walk from the station (and also where the bus from the high speed train from Taipei drops you off), making it an easy option if you're carrying luggage and need to find a bed for the night.

The hotel looks and feels large. Staff are polite, and the rooms are functional, but once inside the hotel, there's a feeling that you could be anywhere in the world - it just seems like it's a copy of a standard business hotel - albeit one that needs a little touch up on the furnsihings here and there.

The hotel has 2 restaurants - one does Cantones / dim sum, while the other serves a part Chinese, part international buffet. The Cantonese place has a menu with photos of a lot of dim sum, but the staff's interpretation of 'english menu' is a few lines in English explaining how much it costs ! In any case, neither restaurant looked enticing or particularly busy. Breakfast however is excellent.

Overall, I was left with the impression of soewhere aiming to process lots of people in an efficient manner - personality isn't really the aim of the game here. If you want somewhere in Tainan where everything works and staff to do your bidding, then this place should suit. If you fancy somewhere with style or personality, look elsewhere

“Tired furinishing, but very courteous staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2008

person found this review helpful

My greatest impression is the politeness and the friendliness of the staff.

The location is very central, right next to the train station and close to the National Cheng Kung University.

The furnishing is quite old and tired.

Part of the public area can use a new paint.

The complimentary breakfast is OK and basic.

Overall, I feel the hardware is disappointing, but the staff performed above my expectation.

Stayed December 2007

“Great location and room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2008

Make a last min booking with the travel agent over at Tainan. Paid 4200NT for their deluxe twins room with 4 breakfast.
We have 3 adult and 2kids, age 6 and 2. The bed is just nice for us. But they only give 2 towel so you have to call them to give you extra towel. They can only give you up to 4 towel/room.

The hotel looks not nice from the website but actually they are not bad. The room is clean and he staffs are helpful too.

The hotel is right across the street from the Tainan railway station. Walking distance to the shopping mall like Shing-Kuang Mitsukoshi , Focus Department Stores and Min-Zu Shopping Center.
