Nantou Hostels

The staff was friendly and spoke Chinese & English. We left our bags at the hotel before check-in. The room was clean, with a hairdryer provided. The large bed was comfortable enough for four people. The bathroom had both hot and cold water but lacked a door lock. There was limited space around the bed to open a large suitcase. There were three power outlets provided, all of which were flat pin type. Breakfast is a self-service buffet and it's very delicious. The hotel location is very close to the pier, bus station and 7-11, making it very convenient to travel.

The best part about this hotel (国民賓館) is its location. Bus 6664, 6658, 6659 all stop less than 80m from its entrance if you're using Nantou bus. It's along the main road which is easy for pickups if you're joining local day or night tours. Across the road from Little Swiss Garden. Even Cingjing Farm has signs along its walking paths directing visitors to the hotel. The other main benefit was that the room rates I paid on Trip.com included a pair of tickets to Green Green Grassland, Little Swiss Garden and a discounted ticket (only need top up 30TWD each) to the Cingjing Skywalk - pleasantly surprised to know this only at check-in although I knew beforehand that the room rates included basic Chinese breakfast for 2, which was another convenient point for guests. The hotel buildings and room was a bit dated, no aircon since the weather in the evening and morning is cooling. But the room, bed, utilensils and toilet were clean. The view from the room balcony and hotel garden was nice to view sunset.

Excellent location. The room was clean and tidy. Will stay here again if I visit Sun Moon Lake again.

This time I stayed in a double room at Shanlin Rock House and the service staff had a very good attitude. The room is clean and quiet, and the hot water in the bathroom is hot enough. There are barbecue grills, tables and chairs outside the room, which is also suitable for picnics and drinks. The atmosphere is great!

All the staff were very accommodating, even going out of their personal way to make my travel around the area easy. Public transportation is passing by the area, you do not have to go to the centre to get a ride back yo Taichung
