    Breakfast wasn't at the hotel. The eggs were too salty in my opinion.

    There were a lot of Taiwanese breakfast options, which also meant that I didn't know/recognize half of the things. It tasted alright and there was more than enough.

    The hotel itself is nothing special at all. Breakfast is provided off site at a canteen location. The food was of mediocre quality. The hotel location requires some significant up and down hill walking which can be difficult with luggage. To be honest most hotels here have the same issue, but other hotels seem to be picking up and dropping their customers to the train station. We had to walk and the staff made no effort to advise if they can help. Room itself was fine but way over priced for the quality, but this appears to be the same for most hotels in this area.

    Nothing really great about this hotel.

    I didn't like the hotel breakfast for which you need to walk 10 mins from hotel and room size congested for 4 ppl . Also hot water supply is not good. There was no restaurant in the hotel and we were just heating our food .

    Location is too good to reach toy train station/zhaoping station . Very near to forest recreation area.

    It’s an old style hotel with outdated rooms.

    we choose this hotel because it’s location. it’s a 10 minutes walk from Alishan train station. Parking is free. we parked our car at the hotel and used the train and walking to get around the park. Although it shows its ages, the room and beds are comfortable. Beds are electrically heated with a dial control. That makes it easier to deal with room without a heater in a cold night. And front desk provides helpful recommendations about touring the park.

    Bathroom has signs of mildew. Typical Alishan hotel, hasn’t been upgraded in decades! Right rooms. I wish they were able to do a train pick up but I wasn’t able to get ahold of them ahead of time.

    Great location. Had luggage storage and free shuttle to bus station. Breakfast was traditional Taiwan breakfast.

    The shower was a bit temperamental, and got cold quickly. Some of the buttons for the TV didn’t work.

    The location was fantastic. It was amazing to be able to stay inside the park itself, and to be so close to the rail station and walking trails. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, and the facilities were accessible.

    Room was facing the road and early risers for the sunrise viewing gathered by the road and made quite a lot of noise. There is a heater in the room but you cannot adjust temperature or blower speed.

    Room equipped with cold water dispenser. Toilet seat was heated.

    Very very expensive for an old property. While things were working, they were not modern equipments.

    It’s located within the national park and has good heating system inside the room and bed to keep you warm in the cold mountain weather.

    Hotel was freezing cold, one tiny heater couldn’t keep it warm. The free breakfast was in a building at a 10 minute walk away. The breakfast can only be described as horrible for western taste. We tried to have a coffee which was luke warm at best and only had powdered milk. No way did this hotel cater to anyone but Taiwanese guests.

    The hotel, while relatively clean, is in need of an upgrade. Shower took very long to turn warm. Heater was very noisy.

    The location was good and convenient. It was close to the train station, 7-eleven and several nice restaurants.

    Slightly disappointed given the first floor, as it lacked window views. The outside mountain scenery was partially obstructed by a line of pine trees.

    Delightful local breakfast experience and impeccably maintained surroundings, despite the vintage appearance of the facilities.

    The only thing I didn't like was the brakfast, which was very local (i.e. for many Westerners like me it's not something we can stomach) - but again it's a similar case in many hotels around Taiwan...

    The staff were very helpful and made sure they explained everything from how to operate the heater to how to get to the highlights of the park, the room was very clean and cosy with a comfy bed. Also the wifi works surprisingly well, I managed to have a full language class with video over zoom with no issues! It's true the facilities are quite old and the cost is inflated by the location, but it's by no means as bad as some reviews suggest. Yes it's a bit of a walk from the bus, but it's the same for all hotels in the area. Honestly the older decor has a quirky charm to it. The walls are thin, but so they sre in many other hotels and at least here everyone goes to sleep and gets up around the same time since they are staying for the sunrise. I had a VERY pleasant stay overall.

    Size of bed. The clean and the size of the bathroom. Overall is ok to stay but it's just too expensive comparing with the room condition.

    Location is convenient. It's not too far from the Alisan station.

    Relatively expensive for what you get but that is due to the location. Have to let the water run for ages to get hot water, which we were advised of.

    Easy access to Alishan National Park. Clean and comfortable room. Small coffee table and chairs for sitting and drinking tea/coffee. Stored our bags while we explored the park.

    Our room was at the back side, wood view and very small for 4 adults.

    Location is near main plaza but far from the bus staion. But hotel gives 5mins ride free of charge. It was rainy when I and my family of 3adults there, the bed mattresses have a heating pad . It was really helpful to feel cozy.

    The heater in the room was a bit loud when on. The window glass could be better if they were transparent.

    We stayed at corner room which made the experience nicer because then we didn’t hear much noise at all from other rooms nor outside. The room was clean and with a mountain view. I also liked the tea set in the room! They also provided pick up/drop off from the entrance to their hotel.
