Taichung Hotels with Balcony

This time I brought my wife to Taichung for her birthday, and we stayed at the Norway Forest Cultural Center for the first night. We arrived early to drop off our luggage and immediately experienced the friendly and polite service, which made me feel happy and warm. Although there was a minor issue with the air conditioning in our room when we checked in that evening, the front desk manager came up and helped us switch to a larger and more comfortable room. Their service attitude was also super nice. It's no wonder this hotel has reviews above 9 – it's absolutely deserved. If I have the chance to come again, it will definitely be my first choice! 🥰

Upon check-in, when asked the reason for our stay, I casually mentioned we were celebrating our 100th day together. They genuinely took note and arranged related services. The sense of privacy and exclusive hospitality was exceptional, truly living up to the reputation of Japan's top Hoshino Resorts group. I particularly loved the design of the entire garden and the relaxation pavilions by the pool, as well as the hot springs. Whether it was the expansive window views from the room, the scenery from the private onsen, the women's public bath, or the dining area, every single spot, with its flowers, plants, and water birds, was meticulously designed. Both dinner and breakfast were also thoughtfully prepared and presented using local ingredients. Our 2-day, 1-night stay left us feeling incredibly touched and joyful, both physically and mentally. It felt like we were taken care of in every possible way. Every moment was filled with deep appreciation. I highly recommend staying here.

The rooms and environment are incredibly clean, tidy, and comfortable. As soon as you enter the lobby, there's a lovely diffuser scent, and each floor also has a pleasant aroma, which is very relaxing. The lobby offers complimentary water, cookies, and snacks for guests. What's even better, the room comes with a Nespresso capsule coffee machine and English tea bags. Our family of four stayed here, and it only cost a little over 2,000, which is fantastic value for money. Usually, rooms at this price point have strong cigarette or damp smells, but there was absolutely none of that here, which truly amazed me. It's been a long time since I've come across such a thoughtful hotel! :)

Very goSeriously, this thing is a total steal for the price! 🤩 I'm so glad I decided to grab it because it's been amazing. Definitely one of my best finds recently and I couldn't be happier. You should totally check it out if you're looking for something similar. Highly recommend it, no regrets here! #GreatValue #MustHave #HappyCustomerod for the price highly recommended

The room wasn't huge, but it was very quiet, tucked away in an alley. Parking wasn't an issue though; there was mobile parking right at the entrance, and the hotel also provided information on nearby paid parking lots. I had a great night's sleep; the bed was really comfortable and the pillows were excellent. The air conditioning was perfectly cold. We also received a welcome drink voucher that we could use at the front desk for drinks and snacks. After checking out, we realized we'd left our power bank and charging cable behind. To our surprise, the hotel proactively called us to ask if we wanted them to hold onto it. Since we don't live in Taichung, they even helped us ship it home via Black Cat Express, and we received it the very next morning, carefully wrapped in bubble wrap for protection. This is truly a thoughtful and wonderful hotel! Definitely my top choice for staying in Taichung.

The first day we arrived there was a city cleaning and so there were so many cockroaches on the first floor but the staff was trying to clean it and it's not their fault. The rooms are very spacious and nice. Breakfast also included and very delicious. (The fries are the besttttt) Tho you have to walk a bit to another hotel, the aunty there is really nice! They no longer provide you plastic amenities but i guess that's for every hotel in Taiwan. Overall a really nice place to stay!

First time staying at Floating Clouds Inn, and what a pleasant surprise! Surprise number one: smart check-in. Everything is self-service, and the parking lot is super convenient, right downstairs from the inn, with plenty of spaces! After parking, you take the elevator to the inn lobby and use the self-service machine to check in and get your room card. I had already booked the room on Trip.com, so all I needed to do was enter the phone number used for the booking and scan my ID for the record. It was really convenient! The room was quite elegant. Following the environmental trend, personal amenities are not provided in the room, but there's a vending machine in the inn where you can purchase whatever you need. During our stay, we used the gym facilities on the second floor to burn off some of the calories from overindulging at the nearby Fengjia Night Market. Oh, and speaking of which, it's not far from the Fengjia business district, which is great for a stroll and some shopping! Overall, it was a very satisfying stay, and I'd definitely come back if I get the chance!

On my second day at this hotel (February 28th), I had an unexpected accident. I accidentally slipped off the bed, and the sharp corner of a small table next to the bed pierced my outer thigh near my hip. (The hotel hadn't covered the sharp corners or taken any precautions to prevent guests from getting injured.) The wound was about 10 cm long, and I was in excruciating pain. The clinics near the hotel were all closed, and it was difficult for me to walk due to the pain from the injury. I went to the front desk on the first floor to borrow a first-aid kit and bandage the wound myself. I complained to the front desk staff, telling them how unbelievable it was that the hotel didn't seem to know they should secure sharp table corners. It's almost common sense; why would the hotel allow sharp corners to create a dangerous environment for guests? If it hadn't been for that sharp corner, I believe my fall from the bed wouldn't have resulted in a 10 cm long wound, practically gushing blood, from a table corner as sharp as a knife. Just an hour before the accident, I had even extended my stay online for another five nights. I never expected to suffer such an injury an hour later. No one from the hotel came to check on me. When I went downstairs to borrow the first-aid kit, I repeatedly asked the front desk staff to report the incident to their supervisor. I deeply regret my decision to extend my stay for five more nights, especially since I've already paid and can't cancel. The hotel staff were incredibly indifferent towards a guest who had been injured by a sharp table corner in their room.

Our family always makes it a habit to find a hotel near Fengjia Night Market when we visit, and we've been doing it for years. This was our first time staying at this particular hotel, and we booked a quad room. The room was incredibly spacious, and parking was convenient. Since we checked in on a Saturday, we could have reserved the shuttle bus to Fengjia for 30 NTD per person. However, we decided to challenge ourselves to walk there and back. It was a bit of a trek, about 10-15 minutes one way, which was a little far but not unbearable. The breakfast was a buffet, and I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit and vegetable juice machine – that was super fun! Overall, I'd definitely consider staying here again. The only downside was... by the time we wanted a late-night snack, we were already too full from the night market food, so we just went downstairs for a bubble tea and headed back to the room!

Staff are polite and ready to assist. Easy luggage storage and check in. Room facilities are basic, but the bed is comfortable and plenty of hot water for a relaxing shower. However the showerhead was difficult to position and the tub is small so water sprayed everywhere on the floor. Free water bottles are provided. There could be more hooks installed for hanging clothes or personal toiletries. The bedsheets/pillowcases were discolored but not sure if this is related to hygiene or just the bedsheet style/color. They felt clean and didn’t find any weird objects except for some hairs on the pillowcases (the staff helped us replace them).
