Shetou hotels from HK$175

"It's a newer hotel building, so maintenance is good. However with our stay, the pool was undergoing maintenance and unavailable. The gym was also undergoing maintenance. There was was an alternate gym on site. And alternate arrangement for a nearby pools was an option at a nearby building, but timing did not allow. Front desk check in was friendly, with English as an option. Straightforward. Concierges persons similarly, and great help in storing luggage. Rooms were clean and had generous space for twin beds. A number of nice amenities included, more than necessary for a 1 night stay. Hotel is generally convenient to an HSR shuttle line stop nearby (ensure you get off the right stop, do not store luggage on top of seats in bus!). Hotel is situated with a minimal number of bus lines to get you closer to downtown shopping malls (and Din Tai Fung) and stores, but if walking, about 10-20 mins away, depending on pace. Bus timetables and lines more sparse mid-day than rush hour. General area is walkable, with big long blocks dominated by a number of big highrise residential towers adjacent."

"A fabulous hotel that I return to time after time. For me, it’s like home from home."

"Well designed hotel, and the staff were very kind and helpful. We enjoyed the location and neighbourhood as well. However as some others have noted, it is VERY damp and smells musty despite the A/C and fan being on. We were there for one night so it was ok but would not have stayed if longer than that despite how affordable it was. "

"Overall, the hotel is conveniently located, and I was satisfied with the staff’s service and attitude. However, the room was quite small, and the bed could only be accessed from one side. The bathroom was also not ideal—the bathtub was too high and water easily spilled onto the floor, which could be unsafe. Overall, the stay was acceptable, but there is room for improvement."

"From the moment you step onto the property the staff and ambience takes your breath away. The views are stunning. The service was 11/10. They upgraded our room without us asking as they knew we were celebrating a special occasion. The Chinese restaurant was delicious! My only regret with my booking was choosing to stay one night. If I stayed for two nights…I probably would never want to leave. The only minor inconvenience was that the room doesn’t offer many outlets for personal use. I needed to unplug the humidifier or room scent diffuser to use my Dyson or charge my devices. "

"Convenience to Taichung HSR station with #159 bus stop right infront of hotel "

"WiFi was not stable & quite poor "

"Overall, this is the ideal stay. The staff were extremely kind and accommodating— they allowed me to change my checkout to a later time which was great. The rooms are clean and modern, I loved this hotel. HIGHLY recommend! "

"Very good three star hotel near the train station. Appears to be renovated not too long ago. The only complaint is that the standard double room is small. "
