Meishan 1314 Lookout Hotels

"The hotel was conveniently located in Alishan, close to the hikes, trails, and viewpoints, which made it easy to enjoy the sights. However, the hotel is quite old, and the rooms were simple and somewhat dated. The bathrooms weren’t the cleanest, but again, it’s really about the location. The breakfast and dinner buffets were excellent, though I’d recommend limiting the stay to a weekend."

"***Note this property is not in Ali Shan. But it is great to stay 1 night as a brief layover. Rooms were clean and lots of space. Would recommend for a quick stay."

"Staff makes this property amazing - that are quick to respond to any questions or issues. Stayed on the 7th floor, great for views. "

"The location is excellent, and the room is spacious and clean. However, the on-site parking is limited. If it’s full, guests may need to use an alternative car park located just a few minutes’ walk away."

"I loved our family room with the loft; very clean and cozy and we had our own balcony with a beautiful view of the tea plantation. The hot pot restaurant was amazing with delicious fresh veggies and was a lovely way to end the day after hiking in the misty forest. The view of sunset from the hot pot restaurant was absolutely stunning! My only reservation would be for elderly travelers as there are stairs and some steep pathways- they would need some assistance with luggage and walking. Breakfast was delicious! I’m so grateful we stayed here. Thank you! "

"Quiet and neat"

"Everything was excellent "

"For travelers seeking an “authentic” Alishan experience, this local hostel offers a great deal. It lacks many of the amenities that tourists accustomed to Western lodgings will miss, but it is well-situated in the small township of Longtouping and is a great value for the area. Longtouping is on the bus route to Alishan national recreation area, about an hour further up the mountains. It is close to Shizhuo to the north, where you’ll find restaurants and tea shops, and Eryanping to the south, where a worthwhile trail begins. Our room was spacious as was the bathroom. The only less than ideal feature were the mattresses, which we found too hard; they also sat right on the wooden floor. The includes breakfast buffet was excellent and featured unique (and delicious) items such as steamed oolong bread and oolong tea baked bread. The proprietors were friendly and extremely helpful with suggestions. We managed our visit without a car, although we did hire a taxi for a full day of touring to Fenqihu, Shizhuo, and other sights.
