Hotel di Kaunti Chiayi

Room is spacious, clean and well equipped with toiletries. Walking distance from Shouzhen temple when we asked for direction to Sacred Tree Station back to hotel. There is even shuttle bus from Zhushan station back to hotel but not FOC which we are not aware of. We’re pleased that we can have refund(not full amt) on train ticket and pay for the shuttle bus service. Hotel price is on the high side. Would have stayed one more night to spend more time on forest trails.

For the price you'd think they'd spend some of their huge profits on upkeep of the rooms. The bathroom was full of mould, the bathtub had been siliconed to the walls, but have pulled away. The entire bathroom needs renovating. The bedroom was on a very badly installed floating floor. There were electrical wires hanging loose from the night stand. The WiFi and set top box were jamed between the TV and wall. The lights didn't work properly, one flicking for minutes afyer the switch was off. The walls are super thin and guests should be reminded to be courteous of other guests, as I was woken at midnight by loud talking and laughing which didn't stop until 230am, and I was getting up at 345am for sunrise. The owner/reception needs to learn manners and how to operate a hotel, because (1) leave a note in English that when reception is unattended to go next door, (2) don't deny early check-in with the pretence the rooms weren't ready, because I checked all on the ground floor and all were ready, plus when I finally got to my room at 5pm the floor was wet in the bathroom and bedroom. (3) Learn some manners, which seems odd in Taiwan as everyone is well mannered, so maybe that's why her attitude stood out so much as she's surrounded by well mannered people. (4) Understand that travellers want peace of mind for left luggage, do at least pretend to make it secure. The room door was damaged both inside and near the lock on the outside. Provide a bathmat, well a few, coz the bathroom flooded so easily.

So nice place, house’s hose is very nice and can speak english and recommend for restaurant and place to travel

The location was really good and i think it is good value for money. Staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are okay...sound-proofing could be better as you can really hear the conversation of other hotel guests talking along the corridor. Within walking distance from the bus station and the forest train station. But overall, a rather pleasant stay.

Wir waren für 2 Nächte dort und hatten ein tolles Zimmer. Obwohl wir nur 2 Personen waren, bekamen wir ein größeres Zimmer mit Balkon. Das Zimmer was sehr sauber und gut eingerichtet. Eine Matratze war allerdings etwas durchgelegen. Das Frühstück war reichhaltig. Das Hotel scheint bei Reisegruppen sehr beliebt zu sein, weil täglich neue Busse ankamen. Das macht es etwas laut, hat uns aber nicht gestört da es nachts ruhig war. Etwas undurchsichtig ist das Konzept des Hotels. Die Rezeption ist in einer Art Halle wo es auch Verkaufsstände Und lauter leerer Aquarien gibt. Ein Teetasting ist dort vermutlich auch möglich? Leider wurde uns dazu nichts erklärt. Mag auch an den mangelnden Englischkenntnissen gelegen haben.

Lokasinya sangat baik, sangat dekat dengan stesen pusat pelancongan; biliknya bersih, dan anda boleh melihat kereta api kecil melalui dalam bilik enam orang; tandas di bilik 310 enam orang itu sangat kecil, tetapi harganya adalah nilai yang sangat baik. Apabila keluar, kakitangan kaunter menawarkan untuk menyediakan sambungan ke Stesen Pemindahan Alishan, yang merupakan perkhidmatan yang hebat dan akan menjimatkan banyak bagasi saya semasa hujan.

Absolutely incredible mountain view room (無憂時光) - like being in heaven! It's even better in person and difficult to capture just how magical it is since the mountain mist comes and goes like Chinese watercolor art... probably more dramatic than other sights you go out of your way to visit in the vicinity. The room itself is spacious and well appointed... washlet toilet too! There are 3 buildings, one for breakfast with panoramic views, one for regular rooms (十方) and the other one a level lower for unobstructed mountain view rooms (無憂) which cost a bit more but are well worth the money - can see the sunrise from the room's balcony! Alternatively, there's a viewing platform outside for everyone. Took the iconic 2.5-hr Alishan Train from Chiayi 嘉義 to Fenqihu 奮起湖 (book tickets online 2 weeks in advance at 6 am, pickup at 711) then it's 30 min by taxi (300 NTD) from Fenqihu or there's an infrequent bus 7322D which came really late 'cause of cherry blossom traffic. Can easily spend a couple of hours there, with trails and shops - check out 山嵐小築 for mountain-view patio tea/dessert. Staff very responsive via email, recommending a couple of drivers, one of whom we booked for 8 hours for 3000 NTD (+300/hr if over 8 hrs), including going to a local hotpot restaurant nearby they suggested with light and fresh ingredients 龍舞雲海阿里山現採高山蔬菜火鍋 (make sure you call to book in advance). Also managed to see Alishan National Forest Recreation Area 阿里山國家森林遊樂區 (200 NTD to enter)'s 姊妹潭 ponds and 神木 forest (well-known but not as spectacular as you might imagine) in addition to 石棹's 櫻之道 with bright pink sakura trees and beautiful tiered tea fields - all quite busy in the midst of cherry blossom season mid March. It's lovely but probably better to come a different time of the year to avoid the crowd if you've already experienced more densely planted clusters of cherry blossom trees in Japan and are less likely to find it that impressive. Transport a bit tricky without a car so do make arrangements ahead of time (an hour up to Alishan Station) although infrequent 台灣好行 buses stop nearby downhill at Xiding 隙頂, also going to High Speed Rail Chaiyi Station (taxi 1500 NTD). Trails within walking distance for sunset with tiered tea fields and sakura (隙頂二延平步道 100-min loop - helpful hand drawn map at reception... lots of steps but not too bad and totally worthwhile). Sunrise from 茶霧之道's gazebo 涼亭 20-min walk away was insane (part of the loop)! Restaurant onsite only serves breakfast from 7-9 am so make sure you make lunch/dinner arrangements - the first night we got railway bentos from Fenqihu. The nearest convenient store is Hi-Life 萊爾富 that's 750 m away, adjacent to the above mentioned hotpot restaurant.

Wi-Fi 收訊非常差，完全不能用 停車位置完全不夠，還有人直接佔了兩個車位，但飯店櫃檯卻束手無策。住了兩天都只能停地下停車場。

位置超好的，食、住、旅遊，在這一併搞定，走到到咩咩上樹和故宮南院，就夠玩一天了。 飯店整體感覺舒適，從大廳到設施到房間都很舒適，床超大，用的寢具、浴缸都很有質感。 早餐中規中矩，但有牛肉湯、火雞肉飯這些算是比較特別的，然後麵包款式很多，都很棒。 房間在13樓面故宮南院，景色超棒，夜晚、白天都要好好欣賞。

Hotel ini menyediakan perkhidmatan ulang-alik, tetapi saya ingin menikmati pemandangan indah Alishan, jadi saya berjalan kaki dari pusat servis ke hotel. Mengetahui bahawa hotel ini mempunyai sejarah, saya agak bimbang sebelum membuat tempahan. Saya membaca banyak ulasan yang mengatakan bahawa ia telah diubah suai dan sangat bersih senget dan kami dapat melihat matahari terbenam selepas memasuki bilik, kami benar-benar kagum, bilik itu sangat baru, bilik mandi dipisahkan dari basah dan kering, dan sinkinya besar. Anda boleh melihat lautan awan yang indah dan matahari terbenam dari balkoni, dan di sebelahnya adalah Sisters Pond dan Stesen Chaping. Sarapan adalah vegetarian dan mempunyai banyak barangan, tetapi ia tidak sesuai dengan saya. Alangkah baiknya jika ada mesin kopi. Ia akan sangat gembira untuk menikmati secawan kopi buatan tangan di Alishan yang indah! (Kopi tiga dalam satu benar-benar tidak sesuai untuk hotel pada harga ini)
