Tainan Travel

The good points: The hotel staff are very friendly and efficient. I would like to commend May in the breakfast room. She provides excellent greet and guide services to guests effectively. Another Mr Jiang of Concierge Services who offer excellent services too. We found a half open cleaning kit in the room that was not replaced by the room service staff. The front desk replaced it when we came back to the hotel by giving it to us personally. Good damage control. The hotel is very near to Guo Hua Street where you can find lots of local snacks. The hotel room is spacious. Breakfast spread is very good. The room is quiet. Quite a serene environment. Hotel offers shuttle services to many destinations. You may wish to check with them on the service and timing. The not so good point is that the hotel looks very old fashion. It is not the modern looking building but who cares as long as the hotel offers comfort and convenience while I am there.

Four of us stayed a night and really enjoyed ourselves. I haven't been to a hotel with more welcoming, friendly and helpful reception staff. Our rooms were generous and well appointed with very comfortable beds, generously sized bathrooms with great facilities. Add to this a thoroughly enjoyable breakfast and this hotel represents outstanding value for money.

Hotel rooms are quite big and and clean. It gets enough light. Bathrooms are big and comfortable. Hotel staff is really friendly. Location is very good, right in the center. Close to malls and shops. Hotel gives free bicycle if you ask front desk. It is easier to travel the city with bike rather than walking in hot and humid weather.

Hotel was rather far from Tainan TRA Station (approx. 30min walk) but they have shuttle services available at specific timings which requires pre-booking (sadly our timing did not match). We got upgraded to a family room as they were fully booked and ran out of single bedded rooms. Conplimentary breakfast coupons were given based on number of nights spent and there was 1 x Welcome drink coupon which could be redeemed at De Reve for takeaway. Complimentary fruit platter, coffee/tea, bottled water were provided for in the room as well! Beds and pillows were comfortable and room came with a shower, hairdryer, towels, slippers as well as free amenities (Shampoo, Shower Gel, Conditioner, Body Lotion, Cotton Wool, Cotton Sticks, Rubber Band, Shaving & Sewing Kit, Toothbrush Kit). Washing Machine & Dryers are available at the hotel's basement for guests' usage however, the dryer doesn't seem to be working well as we dried our clothes for an hour plus but they were still damp. Shuttle Services (Pre-booking required) are provided at 1900/1915hrs to Flower/Wusheng/Da Dong Night Market. Hotel is 20+min walk away from Flower Night Market, Xiaobei/Xiaobei Chenggong Night Market, 5min walk from Yongle Market, 15min walk from Shengnong Street. Taxi is required to Anping Old Street which takes approx. 15min (~150twd). We took the Shuttle Service that brought us to Tainan TRA on check-out day however, it is subject to first come first served basis based on their respective time slots.

Close to the great Matsu temple and the old department store, Fushin is top! Park the car (free!), leave your luggage, big room, fine airco, peace and quiet, friendly staff, superb breakfast, no coachtour hordes, great location. Wish every city would have a hotel like this.
