Hotele Pet friendly w: Taiwan, China

Without a doubt, staying at the Kimpton Taipei was the best decision we made during our trip. The location is fantastic, just a couple of blocks from the MRT, making it incredibly easy to explore the city. But what truly sets this hotel apart is the exceptional service. The level of hospitality feels more like that of an even higher-end luxury hotel. Every member of the team was consistently warm, professional, genuinely caring, and always ready to help with anything we needed. We arrived after almost 24 hours of continuous travel, completely exhausted, and the staff went above and beyond to prepare the first available room for us so we could rest as soon as possible. That thoughtful gesture made all the difference and was something we’ll always remember. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with stylish interiors, incredibly comfortable rooms, and a wonderful atmosphere. We especially loved the complimentary afternoon wine and snacks, which were the perfect way to unwind after a full day of sightseeing. Even the little morning touches before breakfast made us feel incredibly well looked after. What impressed us most is that the team never settles for simply meeting expectations—they consistently go the extra mile in every interaction. We would return to Kimpton Taipei without hesitation, and it will absolutely be our first choice the next time we visit Taipei. Highly recommended.

The hotel's service was absolutely amazing! Right from the booking, the owner set up a WeChat group and provided all sorts of thoughtful services. Not only did they recommend attractions, but they also suggested a car rental company. Driver Ouyang from the car company was super nice too. In the evenings, even after the driver had finished his shift, the hotel arranged for a car to pick us up from outside and bring us back. The restaurant offered a complimentary drinks fridge, and shopping in the lobby was self-service, emphasizing trust and friendliness. So, for those who don't go to bed early, you don't have to worry about going hungry in the middle of the night. Breakfast in the morning was also fantastic. Because we had a last-minute change of plans and couldn't eat at the hotel, the owner packed it up for us to take away. They even helped us pick up our pre-ordered Jingcai buns. Due to changes in the weather, we were promptly informed about the ferry schedule at the port. This trip to Kinmen, a lot of the positive emotional value came from this guesthouse. We'll definitely choose this place again next time we visit Kinmen!

First of all, this is a very old hotel that has seen truly better days. While maintained well, it has retained it's original furnishings and decor from the 1980s and 1990s. Staying here reminded me of my childhood travelling with my family in the 80s. The actual room does not look anything like the ones shown on the website. The hard floors mean you should wear their slippers or bring your own room slippers. The hot spring water advertised is just hot spring water pipes that go into your bathtub. There is a step that emulates hot spa step in the bathtub. The breakfast was good with nice braised meat and eggs that you can put over your rice or porridge. There's also hot soy milk. But no hot tea, only coffee. The staff look tired but hard working. There was a grumpy older lady receiptionist when we checked in and she was pretty rough in the check in process. E.g. ”if you don't put a number here, and you leave things in the hotel, we'll just throw them away! Just to tell you first.” Room was quite small or cosy, depending on your perspective. The only thing new was the air-conditioner. The TV set had all the settings for channels but none worked. Internet wifi was not quite working too.

The couple who run this guesthouse are super friendly. They even arranged to pick us up from the pier, then asked about our plans and helped us sort out a scooter rental! You really can't get by on the island without a scooter, it's an absolute lifesaver. The most unexpected and wonderful thing was their breakfast delivery service. They also repeatedly reminded us to be careful when riding the scooter and to contact them immediately if anything happened! The only minor drawback was the hairdryer; it really needs an upgrade. It took ages to dry my hair! Even for my boyfriend, it took at least 10 minutes, seriously! But all their other strengths completely overshadow this small issue, making it a perfect stay despite that minor flaw. The photos are accurate, not misleading!

Had a fantastic experience! We really enjoyed the hotel's public pools, which offered a variety of temperatures. The 28-degree section was perfect for swimming. The in-room hot springs were also incredibly relaxing; the water stayed warm much longer than regular water. Plus, there were plenty of activities happening in the hotel lobby.

A beautiful, historic homestay near the port with excellent service. High-quality bedding and comfortable beds. Walking in and hearing Celine Dion made it even more quaint 😂 Jack was super helpful with information about the ferry tickets, and even made an extra trip back to the port because I Ieft my umbrella behind. And his mom was very kind and welcoming too. A note to those who may be sensitive: there was a faint musty smell, which I’ve found common to many hotels and guest houses in humid climates like Taiwan. Earplugs are recommended for light sleepers, since you can hear courtyard and street noise in the room. Plan ahead for cash: nearby restaurants are cash-only, and the nearest atm is at 7-11, about a 20 minute walk away.

It was great to have a quiet stay. A solo room is truly the best! This place is close to Jiufen Old Street, making it perfect for sightseeing in Jiufen. I definitely wanted to stay for a night and relax, so I did. It's really nice to be able to spend time without worrying about when to head back. Jiufen is on a mountain, and the slopes are steep and more tiring than I expected, so I think there's a big difference between staying overnight and just visiting for the day.

I loved my stay at Slack BnB. It is easy to find in the village.The facilities are very clean, everything is well-planned and guests have a lot of opportunities to rest. Very cosy Dorms with built-in Beds, which have a good quality. The guests are very respectful and quiet. There is a kitchen to provide food, slacklines in the garden, lots of space to hang out and a Beamer where you can watch YouTube etc. The staff is very motivated to keep everything clean, this can be seen in various facets. The staff and the owner are so helpful which I appreciated much. I can definitely recommend this hostel to everybody when visiting the island.

While noise from the hallway is easily heard, practicing speaking in the room was still manageable. The location is excellent, with plenty of great food options nearby, and Chiayi Train Station is within walking distance. The only downsides were the facilities and hygiene. The bed was hard, and there was a thick layer of limescale on the bathroom faucet. But you get what you pay for, and overall, it was a decent stay.

I booked this homestay last minute on my bike trip and it ended up being a great place! The six-person room was quite comfortable, all the beds have curtains which help with privacy. Public space with a kitchen table, water dispenser and other amenities. Good if you’re looking to stay near the train station.
