Hotels with Breakfast in Chiayi County

Shifang Mountain and River is located at a small stop on the way to Alishan. It's about a 15-minute walk from the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle bus stop. The scenery is pleasant, and the rooms are very clean and tidy. You can see clouds drifting by right from your window – absolutely stunning! The room's aroma diffuser had a lovely tea scent, which they also sell at the property. The restaurant is in a separate building. The hotel offers a hot pot dinner at an additional cost, with a wide variety of delicious food. Breakfast is an included buffet. The owner makes pour-over coffee on the first floor, and the coffee beans are also available for purchase. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommended!

From the moment we checked in, we felt such warm and friendly hospitality ☺️. The room view was absolutely beautiful~ We especially loved the room's balcony, where we could listen to the birds, gaze at the lush tea plantations, and enjoy some wine with friends while waiting for dusk to arrive – it was incredibly relaxing ❤️❤️❤️. The room was very clean, and the bed was extra large and super comfortable~ Especially the breakfast included with the stay; it was a very traditional ********* congee that made us exclaim how much we missed it! It tasted just like Grandma's cooking from childhood~ Everything was so satisfying. Thank you to everyone at 'Palms Clap' and the staff ❤️❤️❤️ We will definitely be back!

This is one of the few newly renovated, clean, and comfortable accommodations within the Alishan area. The location is unbeatable, the electric blankets are a thoughtful touch, and the service is friendly. They even offer a shuttle to the bus station. The poor soundproofing and the walk to breakfast are definite drawbacks, but for the convenience of watching the sunrise within the park, it's still highly recommended!

You can find it by going up the slope opposite the gray house, which is across from the East Xiding Bus Stop. However, as soon as I arrived, the neighbor's dog started barking. There was no staff when I got there; I had to call the owner. The neighbor's grandma helped out. After 8:30 PM, there was no running water, though there was still water for handwashing. Overall, it was clean. There's a restaurant (with hot pot) right across from the guesthouse, at the bus stop. They also offer pre-ordered lunchboxes (available for pickup at 11 AM the next day). Walking towards the elementary school, there are convenience stores and restaurants, which is handy. The landlady is very chatty. Fireflies can be seen nearby (see pictures). After rain in August and September, I even saw a super giant, perfect rainbow, and sometimes even a double rainbow. The guesthouse lobby entrance displays the daily sunrise and sunset times. There were groups of three to five flies at the entrance and in the lobby. The lobby has menus, poetry collections, tourist information, tea bags (they smell wonderful even without brewing, and the brewed tea is very layered), coffee grounds, and a kettle. The tables are made from old sewing machine bases. The shower gel was my favorite verbena scent. After eating in the lobby, I had to walk quite a distance to wash my hands, which was inconvenient. There was no hot water for handwashing in the kitchen. Every time someone walked by, the neighbor's dog would bark. **Dorm Room Experience:** I really liked the bed curtain material. The bed was very comfortable. The bamboo blinds and wooden ceiling were great. There were many storage cubbies and lockers (each cubby was assigned to a bed). But there were no actual lockers. And for some reason, even though we were in the same room and paid the same price, another bed didn't have a bed curtain, no power outlet by the bed, and no storage cubbies under the bed. It felt like differential treatment. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, the neighbor's dog would bark. Breakfast was very filling; the egg pancakes were already cut into pieces, which was thoughtful; the blueberries were very sweet; the mushrooms had a buttery aroma; the edamame was cold and seasoned like salted chicken. The coffee grounds were specially blended by the owner's friend and cannot be bought elsewhere. If guests weren't present during meals, the landlady would cover the food with tissue paper, but flies still got close. I suggest using a plate to seal the surface. **Double Room (with private bathroom):** The room was large, the bed was large, the bathtub was large, and it had mountain views. **Twin Room (shared bathroom):** Simple and sufficient.

Highly recommended if you are looking for a chill and comfortable stay. The environment was great, quiet, and relaxing, while the owner was very friendly and helpful. The owner requested an additional TWD200 for my 5-year-old boy and kindly upgraded our room from 3 double beds to 4 double beds. The breakfast was comforting and tasty. They also provided stationery and coloring materials for kids to draw and paint, which was perfect for keeping my little one entertained. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. The owner also kindly explained the route to Alishan and even brought us to watch the sunrise, which made the experience even more memorable.

I chose this place because of its location right in Fenqihu Old Street, making shopping and exploring easy. It's also super convenient for hitting the nearby walking trails. There's no dedicated parking, but on weekdays, it was a breeze to snag a free roadside spot nearby. Weekends would be a different story though; if you don't arrive before 9 AM, you're out of luck even if you're willing to pay. The room facilities are a bit dated, and there's no air conditioning, just an external exhaust fan for ventilation. I imagine it would be quite uncomfortable in the summer, but thankfully, the April nights were still very pleasant. My baby absolutely loved the tatami room, with all that open space to crawl around freely and happily.

The lady owner was super lovely and accommodating. She was very welcoming and let us drop our luggage before check-in and gave us lots of good suggestions on where to go, what to do in Fenqihu and Alishan areas. She also gave some advices on the sunrise and sunset spots. We stayed in 4-people family room which as perfect and comfortable. There are all the facilities we needed and the breakfast was also very healthy and delicious. Highly recommended if you are making a trip to Alishan!

The view from the room was absolutely stunning! It was also super convenient to walk to Xiashi Road, so no need to worry about parking. You can even park directly at the guesthouse and it's just a one-minute walk, plus you get to see the tea plantations. For dinner, we had a delicious hotpot with a light and tasty broth.

The location is good. The hotel staff are very helpful and will inform you of all the information. The welcome afternoon tea is great. One drink per person and a large portion of small cakes. It is really excellent. Highly recommend.... The room is large and clean. The sauna equipment is old, the pool is a little dirty, the spa is broken, and the oven and steam room are not open. It would be better if it could be tidied up a little! The swimming pool is large and small, and the spa water is not deep. The spa is great for adults and children to play in, and the scenery is beautiful. Although the breakfast is not very rich, it has everything you need. It even provides beef soup, which is a plus because it is not available during renovations. Concert, looking forward to staying again after renovations to experience a different holiday atmosphere

We stayed here for one night and the location was definitely a plus since it’s inside the forest area. The room was okay and had the basic essentials, although there was a noticeable old smell and it felt quite warm despite the cold weather outside. The duvet wasn’t properly flattened/prepared, and the pillow was only one and flat, which unfortunately gave me a stiff neck the next morning. The bathroom was nice and had a bathtub, with a dipper and basic essentials. The shower also has a water heater, which was great considering how cold Alishan can get. Overall, it’s not the most homely or cozy place, but if you’re looking for a decent place to stay in a good location, I’d still recommend it.
