SSBHotel-Shin Sei Bashi

The room is pretty small and there is no window, the windows are found in the toilet, which we have to open the blinds of the toilet so that natural light can come into the room. We thought we have booked the biggest room, but its only sufficient to open one luggage at a time. However, the location is very good, 5 mins walk to the TaiChung Train station. We are also near Taroko Mall (15 mins walk), and some famous eateries in Taichung (5-10mins to each attractions).

Quite a new hotel, situated just opposite the famous Miyahara. Though it's not near near those main touristy attraction places, but there are still decent number of things to shop and eat (eg, yizhong night market and second market). Breakfast provided by the hotel is very disappointing. They partner with a restaurant just beside the hotel to provide breakfast for guests. It's just a takeaway bun, which don't have the option to choose or dine-in. Definitely not something to rave about.

Location is good if you want to stay near the main station. The area itself is not the best but has some famous places for food nearby. I booked 2 rooms for my family. Both rooms were very small. The twin bedroom has two single beds but I don't know how 2 people can stay in the such a small area with suitcases. Lucky only 1 of us ended up using the twin room. But the room was small for one person. The toilet/bathroom is also very small with no shower curtain. The water goes everywhere. There isn't much place to hang your towels. The variety of amenity is good. They offer earplugs and even a condom. They also offer unlimited tea/coffee in the lobby. They offer free laundry but we didn't use it. If you are a light sleeper, you will definitely need the earplugs. At night, you will hear toilet toilet flush sounds (like it's happening right next to your ears), noise from outside and people upstairs moving. There are some staff speaks good enough English to communicate. Service is basic. If you need something in the room, you will need to go to lobby to pick things up. They won't really say hi or anything if you run into them. Breakfast is good to try once, mind you it's very sweet though. They shouldn't really call themselves a hotel, it's more like a hostel with private room options. Good for young travellers, but if you wouldn't normally choose to stay in a hostel, don't stay here. The best part for me was leaving this place. Won't be back at all.

Front desk person is helpfull and accomodating room is good and comfy, place is little confusing to locate

This was a cute hotel. Great location with lots to eat and see nearby. The room is a little cramped with the king size bed. I think a queen would've fit better in the room because we barely had room to walk by our bedside. Gets the job done for a night stay.
