New Hotels in Taichung

"This hotel has great potential with proper planning. Pros: - Affordable price. - Excellent location, very close to Taichung Railway Station Exit 3, less than a five-minute walk. Across the street is a department store, and there's a Watsons and convenience stores nearby. - Seems like a newly opened hotel; the decor is very new. - Front desk staff have a good service attitude. Cons: - I stayed in a single room on the sixth floor. As soon as I opened the bathroom door, there was a strong sewage smell. It seems to be an inherent smell from the pipes that couldn't be removed. - The bathroom is designed as an accessible space and comes with a seat, which is a good intention. However, the showerhead holder is only at waist level. It would be great if there was an additional holder higher up for convenience. - The air conditioning in the single room blows directly onto your head. - There's a table and TV at the foot of the bed, but no chair available. - Poor soundproofing. The front desk is on the sixth floor. The ground floor entrance is in a small alley, and the lighting is still sufficient at night. However, the main door is 'automatic' sensor-activated. During the day (7:00 AM - 11:00 PM), anyone can enter. There's no staff management on the first floor after entering, just the elevator. You don't need a key card to access any floor in the elevator. Once the main door opens, it opens completely, and the closing process is very, very slow. You can't push it or close it manually. It takes at least five seconds or more to close once opened. As a solo traveler, I had safety concerns. I hope the hotel can adjust the opening/closing duration to be more flexible, or allow manual opening/closing of the door."

"My overall review of this hotel is that the hardware facilities are perfect, but everything else is mediocre. In short, the pros and cons feel very disconnected. Details below: **Pros:** 1. As it's a new hotel, the hardware facilities are very modern. The style is industrial minimalist with warm wooden furniture – a TV and a bed create a sturdy yet warm overall feel. I particularly liked the space in front of the bed, which was convenient for placing and organizing luggage. 2. Regarding the toilet and bathroom, the toilet is smart, equipped with an LED smart mirror. The overall look is clean and hygienic. 3. My favorite aspect was how comfortable the pillows, mattress, and duvet were – truly recommended! The large bed came with two firm and two soft pillows. Both types provided excellent support, making them very suitable for people with neck and shoulder pain. Although the mattress was firm, it offered great body support. However, the accompanying drawbacks were also very noticeable: 1. The entrance door wasn't clearly marked as an automatic door. For some reason, it had 'Entrance' written on it with an arrow pointing left, making it hard to realize it was an automatic door at first. Its concrete color also easily misled guests. 2. The check-in process felt a bit old-fashioned or outdated. Usually, isn't showing your passport enough to check in? The staff member directly asked for my booking number. Also, because Mandarin isn't my native language, when I didn't quite understand a description and asked the staff to repeat it, there was a moment of awkward silence. Later, when I went for breakfast, I gave my room number to the staff, who then picked up a list of guests to search. If they didn't understand, they could have just asked me to repeat it. Are their service guidelines so strict that they can't ask guests anything? Furthermore, the hotel had sent a message requesting my Chinese name to expedite the process, but I noticed the hotel's information still hadn't been updated. Was providing it even necessary then? 3. Another issue was the relatively small and narrow bathroom space. The smart toilet would open automatically when you walked past it, which sometimes felt really annoying. You couldn't place clothes or other items directly on it; they had to go on the towel rack above. However, the rack had gaps, so small items could easily fall through. I had to use a towel to cover it. The washbasin was also very small, only big enough for two mouthwash cups; anything else would fall off. As for the shower area, it would be just right for children or women of standard build, but it felt quite cramped for men or larger individuals. All in all, it's still a new hotel and has value worth visiting, but what happens later remains to be seen."

"Had a wonderful stay at FJ Victoria Hotel Taichung. The hotel is modern, clean, and well-maintained. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything needed for a pleasant stay. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to assist. The location is convenient, with easy access to shopping malls, restaurants, and popular attractions in Taichung. Breakfast offered a good variety of local and international options, and the overall service exceeded expectations. A great choice for both business and leisure travelers. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Taichung."

"I had to go on a last-minute business trip to Taichung for four days and three nights. Because I was very busy during the day, I wanted to find a clean and reasonably priced place to stay between Taichung Railway Station and Taichung Park. Since I booked through this trip, my first instinct was to pick up my phone and browse between two options. I finally chose Fu Yi Hotel, Taichung Station Branch. Upon entering, I was struck by its cleanliness and upscale music. The self-service counter was simple, but it was a little laggy the first time I tried it. However, a friendly receptionist came over and resolved the issue. The accommodation felt clean and welcoming. Since I chose a dormitory-style room on the first floor, I was a little worried about noisy roommates, but thankfully I didn't encounter any. I'm grateful to God for helping me find a satisfactory place to stay for my business trip."

"This hotel is conveniently located near Taichung Railway Station and not too far from Yizhong Street Night Market. It seems to have been recently renovated, as both the rooms and the restaurant are very clean and tidy. The restaurant also offers complimentary snacks, drinks, and instant noodles. The front desk staff were also very friendly and nice! I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in Taichung!"

"The location isn't great, but it's not bad either. Since it's an old hotel that's been renovated, it still feels a bit basic. The room size was medium to spacious, and the bed was quite comfortable. The highlight for me was a memory foam pillow that I really liked! The cups and kettle also felt high-quality, which I appreciated. If the entire building could be fully renovated, it would be a great choice! The price isn't expensive either, and if you don't mind a 15-20 minute walk to Yizhong Street Night Market, I'd consider staying here again in the future."

"No matter the morning or evening shift, the service staff are super friendly. The breakfast is normal. But if you want to go to the convenience store, it takes a while to walk, but you can drive very fast."

"The location is very close to Taichung Railway Station, less than ten minutes' walk away. Downstairs you will find FamilyMart and Jiguang Southeast Asian Market. I can only say that you don't have to worry about food, but if you are traveling alone, you have to be careful about safety. There are many homeless people and drunk foreign workers nearby on weekend nights. The soundproofing is very poor, and due to the location, I was woken up by noise from outside for two consecutive nights. There were always guests walking by loudly and making noise. The room was just an ordinary old hotel with old equipment. There was a smell of cigarettes coming out from time to time. The curtains were a very abrupt dark red and dirty. The bed was a bit hard but still comfortable to sleep on. The water in the bathroom was strong and nice, but the shower gel ran out and was not refilled. I didn't meet anyone at the counter but when I called for information, they all had a very good attitude. Access is by room card."

"The self-check-in machine in the lobby on the first floor is super convenient, and they also offer plenty of biscuits and snacks. If you run out of water, you can refill it in the lobby too. The room was clean and quite spacious, with a bed and a sofa that can be pulled out into another bed. The best part is having Netflix! Plus, there's a market nearby which is pretty handy."

"The dust mites were a bit of an issue. The location and decor were nice, and the staff service was quite good. It was a little disappointing that there was no partnered parking. The floor-to-ceiling windows were definitely a big plus, but the pillows being too soft was a slight letdown."
