Wife trouble to so far over Tenant live and the China and time one trap and teens of favorite hotel. The hotel has a mix of Japanese and Scandinavian influence and it was beautifully decorated. The dining hall looks like the inside of a ship. The beds elevated off the floor inside the room. The showers and toilet area are spacious, and the whole room is incredibly comfortable. The hotel is impeccably cleaned, and then the breakfast is phenomenal. This hotel is located on the quieter side of the Sun Moon Lake, which our family prefers. The other side is way too busy. Keep in mind, though most of the stores are closed by 8 PM so if you’re seeking a more lively nightlife side of the lake might not be the best. If you’re looking for a quieter vibe and area, this hotel is perfect.

🌲 Step into the legend of the Thao guardian spirit: Sun Moon Lake Owl Boutique Inn
* **Unbeatable Location:** Just a **1-minute walk** to Ita Thao Pier and Old Street. Craving wild boar sausage or Assam tea? It's right downstairs!
* **Connection to Thao Culture:** In Thao legends, the owl is considered a sacred bird and guardian spirit. The inn is adorned with various owl decorations, adding a playful yet tasteful touch throughout.
* **High Value Boutique Feel:** Although it's categorized as an inn, the interior design is minimalist and stylish. The wood-toned spaces offer a truly relaxing haven after a long journey.
Despite its location in the bustling old street area, the soundproofing is surprisingly good. The amenities provided are also very generous, giving you the impression of staying in a high-end hotel.
**3. Rooftop Common Area**
This is the inn's hidden gem! The rooftop features a lounge area with panoramic views of Sun Moon Lake's scenic beauty. Grab some delicious treats from the old street, bring them up, and enjoy them with a cool breeze and lake views – that's how you truly vacation.
### 💡 A Few Tips
* **Parking Information:** As the inn is located in the old street area, parking directly in front is not possible. It's recommended to call the front desk beforehand, and the staff will kindly guide you to their affiliated parking lot.
* **Breakfast Experience:** While the breakfast here is simple, the ingredients are fresh, and you can really feel the thoughtfulness of the owners.

This is our first time staying in a high class hotel.
It certainly felt luxurious, wonderful rooms and excellent service. The attentivness of the staff was fantastic and the buffet in the Crimson Restaurant for both breakfast and dinner was fantastic many many options all of which were high quality, fresh and tasty!
The gym for a luxurious hotel was a let down, incredibly basic, but that is my only complaint.
The onson baths were magnificent, the naked hot spring onson on site was nice,
The views from every room as far as I cab tell are amazing the lake is and landscape is breathtaking and the hotel is cleverly designed to maximise this and the viewing of the landscapes.
We stayed in a japanese based room with tatami floors and futon beds.
The lake view rooms are significantly nicer and upon reflection I wish I had booked that one, but the japanese rooms was still a great experience and very comfortable.
If we were to return to sunmoon we would gladly stay here again.
The real highlights are the staff, the landscape/views and the buffet.
All make for an unforgettable stay.

The environment and location are both fantastic. The landlady is very welcoming and introduced nearby attractions and restaurants. Parking can be booked in advance for 300 yuan per parking session, which is quite convenient. The room decor is great. The only downside is the water pressure is insufficient, causing the hot water to fluctuate in temperature. If this could be resolved by contacting the plumber, it would be perfect.

Guest UserForest Courtyard Deluxe Quadruple Room (Completed 2026) Section E (E01)
Check-in Date: 2026.05.30 (Sat)
Cost: TWD 2880 (Originally 3247 - TripCoin 367)
The building uses H-steel construction, though the exterior decoration doesn't give that away. The building materials are quite good. The interior decoration is definitely 5-star quality. Most of the main equipment is made in China, and the quality is very high standard.
The bidet toilet (JOMOW), shower facilities, audio system (Edifier M230), and room power control device, though made in China, are all of impeccable quality.
Overall, about 80-90% of the room's building materials are from China, which shows that Chinese building materials still have a certain level of competitiveness.
The stay offered a comfort level of 9.9/10!
Occasionally, there are sheep grazing on the hillside below.
Hotpot is available for dinner, and there are live singers on weekends, which creates a great atmosphere.
Breakfast is Chinese style, with congee served with various Chinese breakfast items, toast, fruit, eggs, and high-mountain cabbage. Beverages include coffee, soy milk, and red bean milk, among others (no Western breakfast options).
It's understandable that there might be some common insects and flies in the dining area.

The hotel is ok but the room is big. The restaurant in the hotel is a must try. My daughter LOVEs every dishes she ordered. She said, this is the best food she had in Taiwan, so we had two dinners at the hotel. The location of the hotel is not great! We couldn’t get into the local buses to go to Xitou nor to Taichung because the buses were full from the original starting point. However, the hotel offers fare shuttle service to and from Xitou but not Shanlinxi. The front desk lady drove us to Xitou, she was GREAT and very accommodating, she took us to Xitou bus station outside of the normal schedule hours so we can catch the bus back to Taichung. We would come back again with our car to get to different areas in Xitou again.

I fully enjoyed my stay at Sun Moon Lake Hotel in terms of their hospitality and beautiful & peaceful location.
They have supported me to get to one of the old tea farm which needs special transportation arrangement by arranging a very attentive and helpful driver.
They are located at a peaceful quintet location which is about 15 min walk from Suishe visitor centre also nearby secret small water area where fireflies appears at night of spring season.
They have a free bicycle service too so I could also fully enjoy both cycling and morning walk to see sunrise at a quiet wooden boardwalk.
I would like to come back at the next firefly season.
Thanks again for the wonderful stay.

A well equipped hotel in a quiet spot in town. Conveniently located off the main road with a great buffet breakfast and dinner. Service was great.
The upkeep of rooms could have been a little better as some amenities were a little worn, such as the carpet and console. Loved the onsen water in the bathtub.
The children appreciated the complementary jelly cups and cookies left for us each day.

It was lovely staying at the lakeside hotel, which is at the heart of the Ita Thao village. The proprietors were friendly and welcoming and had incredible local knowledge including exclusive deals for local excursions when booked through the hotel. The self service breakfasts were simple (very typical of ********* breakfast) but of high quality and extremely well cooked.

The hotel is considerably cheaper than others in the area with similar-looking rooms and it is brilliantly-located right at the lakefront and only 2 minutes away from the bus terminal.
The staff is very friendly and you even get a discount voucher for the nearby bike rental.
I booked a room without a window and got one with two windows which is absolutely appreciated. I even had a very large bathroom with a gorgeous and huge bathtub which was an unexpected luxury.
Overall the room is clean and comfortable. The AC works perfectly, the bed is comfortable enough for a few days, and the the linen and towels were fresh.
The interior is dated which didn't bother me me much because it was still as clean as dated interior can get and therefore definitely clean enough for me and for most travellers. I actually kinda liked the old charme.
The walls are thin, though it doesn't matter so much because there aren't many rooms per floor.
The breakfast was surprisingly nice and located in another hotel right at the lakefront so that you have stunning views!
