Weird decors including paintings and statues. Place feels deserted. Handled entirely by two old staff.

Huge Rooms, Western Cabin like wooden architecture. Smack in the center of Ita Thao town.

But expensive for the value.

Spacious, comfortable with nice view and lot of entertainment possibilities.

The beds. you could feel the mattress springs making uncomfortable your sleep.

The beautiful garden, the main entrance is a real art gallery. Although, a bit crammed. Beautiful pieces of art. Close to everything.

It was sometimes difficult to find someone at the front desk.

Great location and helpful staff!

There wasn't a proper shower, just a handheld nozzle over the bathtub, meaning you basically had to sit in the tub to shower or risk water everywhere (or, just have a bath...).

Very cute, retro property, run by the sweetest old couple. Limited english but enough to get us checked in and to our room. The room was huge, and immaculately clean and we loved sitting on our balcony watching the sunset. Great location just a block from the port and main shopping street, but peaceful and quiet. This place is not sleek or modern, but is very charming and full of character.

The beds were a little bit hard for our travel backs :)

The house is really nice and the couple is super friendly. It is very quiet and it is amazing that you have a little terrace all for yourself.

The staff gave us the different room which is not the same as we booked

The building and decorations are amazing, room is comfortable, all the small details are very thoughtful

It is just too bad that the nice garden is not served by a restaurant ...

Charming stay in a house that feels like a museum. Located nearby the Lake, but far enough from the noise of the commercial streets. Car parking is REALLY appreciated.

I was given a room that is in other building not shown in the photos (not as nice as the one in the photos). The bathroom is in desperate need for refurbishment!

Fair space with two beds and one step from the main activities. The include toiletries, tea and bottles of water, which is nice

The restaurant is close, the area downstairs and the garden are dark and unpleasant

The owners are nice and helpful. The public area upstairs is nice. Balconies are cozy.

the room is so spacious, and the location is excellent. You can reach the Yi Da Shao Wharf, shops within walking distance. The garden is a bonus as well.

There was no housekeeping service. I did not realize this when booking. Not a major issue for 4 days however. The bed was more firm Than I prefer, but this a common issue in Taiwan from my experience.

Rooms were very good. Property was interesting, well maintained and in an ideal location for activities in the area. Restaurants and tourist shopping were in walking distance. Owner / manager was as helpful as one could expect. He was up at 200 am to see us off when we left to catch 800 am flights. Pictures of the property from the listing were very accurate.

It is near with the Ita Thao shopping. The garden was well organized

Bathroom not practical. (bath too small for actual bathing with hand held shower head). Water leaking from the toilet, bathroom a bit stinky. Bed was really hard and uncomfortable (I usually like firm mattresses- but this was too hard!). I actually left a day early, and a contributing factor was the thought of trying to sleep in that bed another night. Also, in hindsight- without my own transport, i would have been better staying on the otherside of the lake.

Beautiful hotel with lovely garden. Really charming decoration. Lovely to sit on the balcony and watch people walk by. Staff were friendly. This hotel has so much potential. I am not sure if the restaurant was just closed for the season or if it is no longer operating- but really beautiful spaces.

Stairs are quite steep with no lift and no-one to help with bags. Bath/shower set up is a bit weird, but not really a problem once we got used to it.

Loved the wooden furniture and eclectic art collection. The location was excellent - 2 minutes from the shops/restaurants and the pier, but very quiet. Beds were really comfy and the room was spacious. Nice tea facilities.

The annex was a little further away from the main hotel which was a little odd and didn’t seem as well kept as the main hotel. The wooden walls seemed to have holes in them (triggering my trypophobia) that were covered in tape or some sort of plastic adhesive cover. The bathroom looked a little outdated and was also a little mouldy around the edges. It also seemed as though some lights would take a while to turn on? I still rate this as good as we were in the economy annex which was really cheap so I guess you pay what you get. We did get to see the main hotel and it looked a lot nicer and well kept.

Great location. A short walk to the market, cable car to the aboriginal cultural village and park, and docks for the boats, as well as plenty of bike hire shops. The staff were so incredibly kind, especially the granndpa who called a bike hire place for them to pick us up and escort us to the shop. We used electric bikes to travel to many site seeing locations. The room came with many appliances such as 2 hair dryers, a kettle, a fridge, extension cords, a TV, and of course an air conditioner. There were lots of amenities such as toothbrushes and toothpaste, comb, and shower stuff (including towels and flannels). The beds were very comfortable, the bathroom was massive. We stayed in the annex part of the hotel which meant that there was a lot more privacy.

Not heater and the room was cold at night

Host was really kind to have driven around the lake in late evening to pick us up as our bus arrived late.

Great downtown location. The hotel is full of amazing art, including lots of fantastic paintings from the owner's wife. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the lake. A great experience overall and all staff members were really nice and helpful (they also helped us with parking our car).
