An Lan Jie Hotel

Short walk from the train station and 15-20mins walk from the night market. But the streets have many shops and food along the way. Building is at the corner of the main road and has a family mart opposite. The room is spacious and able to fit 2 pax or even 3 with an extra bed. But the toilet is small. Staff is approachable albeit not the most friendly.

If you stay in a dorm and wanna checkin, go to level 14 by lift. Then the worker will bring you to another floor. As for me, I stayed in level 6. They'll give you passcode for the main door and your room door. If you stay in your room, you sometimes hear the traffic aound or people talking outside your room. The housekeeping was insane coz the worker just open the room door and leave it wide open eventhough there's people inside the room. And during my last day here, they changed the passcode without let me knowing coz I tried many times using the first passcode they had given to me, so i need to call them again to get the new passcode. There's washing machine and dryer, 30yuan and 40yuan each. Maybe they need to do cleanups at the laundry room coz it looks like left unattended. Overall, i think this hostel is okay for the soloist.

Very convenient for the rail and bus station, especially you want to take the first bus to Alishan. It’s also the cheapest I found. Not much by way of a social scene if that’s what you’re after.
