Hotel berhampiran Taman Chiayi, Chiayi

Really good location, the room was really clean shampoo and body wash was provided we just had to pay to use a bathroom towel which wasn’t much. The staff were friendly and helpful and the location was great about 10 minutes walk to the train station that goes to Alishan and the bus stop just outside the train station. If you arrive by the bullet train they provide a shuttle to the main station for free which is convenient. Restaurants and shops are all in walking distance from this accommodation.

superb location right opposite the TRA station and bus stop for Alishan. major drawback is the poor soundproofing which made it difficult to sleep as some neighbour was on a call until 12am. he wasn’t speaking particularly loudly, but i could make out most of what he was saying due to the poor noise insulation.

The front desk staff were friendly and nice. However, when we arrived around 1pm, we had to wait until 3pm to check in, as early check-in wasn’t allowed, which was a bit disappointing. The washroom had an unpleasant smell, likely due to the drainage system, but they thoughtfully provided an air freshener. The triple room’s bathroom was a bit small, probably due to the design, and lacked space to hang clothes. The location is very convenient, about a 10–15 minute walk to Chiayi Train Station. One of the best parts of the stay was the luggage storage service — since we were heading to Alishan the next day, we could leave our large suitcases at the hotel overnight and pick them up when we returned. Also, the nearby restaurant serving Chiayi meat soup is great — definitely worth a try!

Location is best. But staffs do not know about tourist information. Maybe the country do not promote the tourism. Bus is not enough and very old with bad smell for Alisan.

I chose An Lan Jie Hotel primarily for its location, and it did not disappoint. It's literally a 3-5 minute walk from Chiayi Train Station and the bus pick-up point for Alishan . If you're planning an early morning trip up the mountain, you simply cannot beat this convenience. There's also a Family Mart right across the street and plenty of local eateries nearby . The staff were a highlight—genuinely friendly, helpful, and spoke good English . They provided clear instructions for self-check-in (the whole place uses digital door codes, so you don't need to worry about losing a key card) . I stayed in a private room, which was clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. The common area on the 14th floor is a real bonus—it's beautifully decorated, has a great city view, and offers free tea and coffee for guests . The bed was comfortable, and the Wi-Fi worked well . A few small things to note: the bathrooms are functional but can be a bit compact [7]. Also, be aware that towels aren't provided (you can rent one for a small fee), so you might want to bring your own . Overall, this is a fantastic, budget-friendly option for solo travelers or couples who prioritize location and cleanliness. It’s the perfect base for exploring Chiayi and catching that first bus to Alishan. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was about 800 meters from the train station. It was close to the night market. Hinoki Village was a little longer walk but still close to the hotel. Since the train / bus station was close, it was easy to get transportation to Alishan National Forest. The rooms were large. The bath had an enclosed shower stall. Sink was in the bedroom area. A kettle, refrigerator and hair dryer are in the room. Liquid hand soap at the sink (which you do not see often in Taiwan). That was much appreciated! Free hot/cold/warm water dispenser in the lobby. The front desk is very helpful. They have a large capacity washer and dryer on the 5th floor (50 TWD per washer load). Floors are secured by elevator room card keys.

Lokasinya bagus, berjalan kaki singkat dari stesen Kereta Api Chiayi. Sarapan pagi adalah baik tetapi jika anda pergi terlalu lewat akan ada sedikit makanan yang tinggal (kadang-kadang mesin kopi/teh kehabisan serbuk). Bilik-bilik adalah bersih dan selesa.

My husband and I were visiting my brother. Stay there for two nights. The celling was quite low and the bathroom was OK. However, overall cleanness is a bit below standard. The flooring in the shower seemed dirty and well used, we were not confident to walk in the shower with our bare foot.

Satisfactory 2-night stay that they also provide complimentary breakfast . Clean and decent space. We are happy and would use it again if the price is affordable. Recommended 👍

Great location near the Chiayi train station. Very convenient if you plan a day trip to Alishan. However we found ants and cockroaches in our room. It was manageable on a budget but if insects make you uncomfortable I would not recommend.
