3-Star Hotels in Taichung

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! 🥰

The corner room was a bit small. With a double bed, it's fine for one person. The bed faces directly into the bathroom, so be careful with the water pressure/direction when showering, or the whole floor will get wet. The air conditioning is central, so be aware if you have specific preferences. The room has three sets of lights: main space, bathroom, and a night light. There's a free laundry room on the top floor, with paid dryers. The washing machine automatically adjusts based on the laundry type/requirements. The bed was really comfortable, I slept great, but the pillows were a bit too soft. The location is super convenient. It's across from Miyahara Eye Clinic and a 5-6 minute walk to the train station. The street behind the hotel is lively at night with hot pot restaurants. The staff were friendly.

The room and toilet are separate, which they call a design concept. But this means sweating while using the toilet in summer, and walking through a mini-balcony with an air conditioner outdoor unit to get to the room after showering in winter. I booked a loft bed; the ladder was almost vertical, but the bedding was pretty good. The water heater is a storage type, meaning you have to wait 20 minutes for it to reheat once the hot water runs out. There was also a noticeable damp smell in the room.

Check-in at 4 PM was a bit late, but the Taichung Park nearby was a nice bonus. It's within walking distance of the Yizhong Street Night Market. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. It's great that there's a hot and cold water dispenser in the hallway. The room was quiet and the bed was comfortable, so I slept very well. I highly recommend this place.

Stylish design hotel in Taichung's old town. Clean rooms, comfy beds, and amazing staff. 10-min walk from train station. Close to Miyahara and Second Market. Rooms are small and soundproofing is just okay, but great value for money. Free afternoon snacks! Perfect for solo or couple travelers or family too . ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Overall, it's a great hotel. The facilities, staff, cleanliness, and convenience are all excellent. I would definitely choose this hotel again if I visit Taichung. I didn't have breakfast, so I can't comment on that. However, there were a couple of things I wasn't happy about: (1) The hotel has self-service laundry, but I only found out when I got to the laundry room that it's only open from 9 AM to 10 PM daily (who wants to spend their prime travel time doing laundry in the hotel?). And at 9 AM, you have to call someone to open the door, and there's no air conditioning in the waiting area... Wouldn't it be more normal to have the laundry room on a non-guest room floor? (2) If there are no personal items on the towels placed on the chairs, it's generally fine to remove them. But I had placed clothes on the towel, and the towel was still taken, which I found really puzzling.

I booked a double standard room with a bathtub. The bathroom fixtures were high-quality TOTO and VOV. For a solo traveler, the space was perfectly adequate. The room and overall decor had a tasteful, elegant Japanese aesthetic. The minor dust on the windowsill was negligible. The hotel entrance is understated, but after checking in, you absolutely must visit the lobby. Take a seat, relax, and enjoy a cup of their complimentary self-serve brewed coffee – the aroma and taste are perfectly balanced, on par with a five-star hotel.

This hotel offers great value, with a lovely and clean environment. Its location is also very convenient, being close to Taichung Railway Station, which makes getting around super easy. It's also a short 10-minute walk to Miyahara Eye Clinic. I hope to visit Taiwan again in the future and would definitely stay at this hotel again.

This is a recently renovated hotel with a historical feel. It boasts a spacious on-site surface parking lot. In its heyday, this hotel must have been quite a prominent establishment locally. For visitors from out of town or overseas, please don't judge this hotel by 5-star standards; after all, its pricing offers excellent value for money. Now, for my review: The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming. The hotel's cleanliness is satisfactory (though the bathroom door was a bit worn). The location is also decent, being close to Fifth Market, which is a fantastic spot for delicious local food. Finally, I hope this hotel continues to improve.

Bed sheet was not properly clean but it was finally changed, and they should vacuum the carpet. Location is good, receptionists are friendly too.
