Taichung Hotels with Bars

I wrote in my initial booking that this was an Anniversary trip, I was quite surprised that the hotel did not do nor acknowledge such things and that quite bothered me. First impressions do lasts and I also had an incident in their restaurant that serves buffet, where there was a insect (almost cockroach like) in the soup which was honestly very shocking for a 5 star restaurant but the recovery of how they handled was not great and no follow up was done. Overall, I wasn’t as happy staying here as I thought I would. But I won’t definitely be coming back.

The location of this hotel is excellent, and the staff were consistently friendly, polite, and genuinely tried to help whenever we needed anything. Unfortunately, the hotel itself has some significant issues. Our room had a strong mould smell that was impossible to ignore. This isn’t something that can be solved with air freshener or a quick spray by housekeeping—it points to a deeper moisture problem that requires a proper investment in repairs. Until that is addressed, it seriously affects the comfort of the stay. The food was also disappointing and well below what we expected. We also tried to book a massage during our stay, but every time we went down, there was no one there. The counter staff seemed unsure of what was happening, which made the experience feel disorganized. I want to emphasize that the staff did their best and were always courteous. The problems seem to be with the property and its management rather than the employees. With its excellent location, this hotel has a lot of potential, but it needs to address the mould issue properly and improve some of its facilities and services.

The environment is great and very clean, especially the lobby with board games and old-school arcade games. My friends and I had a lot of fun playing there. As for the room, although a bit small, it was very clean, and the ability to connect the TV to YouTube and Netflix was the most important feature.

This was my first time bringing my mom to Taichung, and we chose to stay at the Howard Plaza Hotel Taichung. The room was huge, with two large beds, easily accommodating four people. It's truly great value for money. I'll definitely choose to stay at the Howard Plaza Hotel again next time I'm in Taichung.

The soundproofing in the room was excellent, and the air conditioning was quiet. The water pressure was strong, and the bath amenities smelled lovely. The breakfast was decent, pretty much the same every day, but it was great to have natto. The pool was absolutely fantastic, very clean, and we spent every day in it. The pool facilities were also great. Highly recommend it. The location is also good; bus 302 goes directly from the airport to the hotel. There's a shopping mall within a 5-minute walk, as well as convenience stores and many local eateries with delicious food.

First time staying here and the overall experience was great. The lobby is quite beautiful, and besides the comfortable environment, the pool on the 21st floor is amazing! I'd definitely want to stay at this hotel again next time I'm in Taichung.

Great for family trip. The service of room was satisfying and quite fast. As soon as we enter our room in third floor, we noticed the size of slippers provided was too large. To our surprise, they took care of the problem almost immediately. I will give the service five star. As for the swimming pool, the quality of water is also good enough for children in 6-12 age group. BTW, thanks for the swimming pool service people. They gave us medication for mosquito biting in emergency. Surely recommended for family trip destination.

It wasn't my first time at this hostel. I think it's a good one and the price is cheap. There's a market place close by and a bus stop. Beds are comfy. Just be aware that there are little spaces that bring either other people's light or the window's light. If you're sensitive to that, bring a eyemask. Otherwise, enjoy your stay.

This time I stayed at the Ful Won Hotel in Taichung. Its location is incredibly convenient: right next to the MRT City Hall Station, with bus stops on both sides of the main road, making transfers to other places easy. It's very friendly for those who don't want to drag their luggage too far. The hotel exterior looks a bit old, giving the impression it's been around for a while. However, when we got to our floor, there was a rather strong paint smell in the corridor, suggesting the hotel had recently undergone renovations or repainting. The room itself was generally clean, and the basic amenities were sufficient, making for an acceptable stay. But there are two design flaws that really need mentioning: 1. **Poorly designed bedside power outlets:** The outlets are located behind the pillows. If you try to charge your phone while lying down, the plug can easily shift or even poke your head, which is inconvenient and poses a slight safety concern. 2. **Too dark in the bathtub area:** After pulling the shower curtain for a shower, it's almost pitch black inside the curtain because the bathtub area lacks independent lighting. It's not very comfortable to use. What I do want to praise is the service at the front desk in the lobby: I asked about good food nearby, and the staff gave many suggestions with a very good attitude. Plus, the lobby space is very spacious with comfortable sofas, making it convenient for waiting or resting. In summary: If you prioritize convenient transportation and good service, this hotel is perfectly acceptable. However, if you care about in-room details (outlet placement, bathtub lighting) and are sensitive to smells, you should be prepared.

The hotel boasts a clean and tidy environment, with well-equipped rooms. It's a new co-living style building. The front desk is conveniently located at the right-side entrance on the first floor, and the staff are very friendly. The location is excellent for transportation, close to Taichung HSR Station, Wuhr Station, and various bus stops. Plus, there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, making it easy to shop and enjoy local food.
