Hotels with Breakfast in Taichung

This time I brought my wife to Taichung for her birthday, and we stayed at the Norway Forest Cultural Center for the first night. We arrived early to drop off our luggage and immediately experienced the friendly and polite service, which made me feel happy and warm. Although there was a minor issue with the air conditioning in our room when we checked in that evening, the front desk manager came up and helped us switch to a larger and more comfortable room. Their service attitude was also super nice. It's no wonder this hotel has reviews above 9 – it's absolutely deserved. If I have the chance to come again, it will definitely be my first choice! 🥰

Overall, I was quite disappointed. Right from check-in, the staff couldn't find my reservation, and they even asked for my surname in English, and the number and gender of guests, which was a bit odd. I noticed a lot of things because I was waiting for my luggage in the lobby for a very long time. The seating area around the art installation in the lobby was dusty, especially the back rows, and the outdoor area was full of fallen leaves. While I was busy with my child and family arranging crafts, my luggage had already been taken to the room. When I realized I needed my carry-on bag, the staff said they would retrieve it from the room for me (we hadn't even checked into the room yet). I had a carry-on with my child's daily essentials, and my child needed to use the restroom. So, we waited in the lobby for that bag for nearly 20 minutes. Regarding the other facilities, the welcome tea was incredibly simple. The window in our room had large water stains on the glass (I initially thought it was fog). Below our room, there was an area with weeds and what looked like abandoned moss, which felt out of place. It seemed like the most effort the hotel put in was the gardening, and I couldn't understand why this particular area existed; it was a huge contrast. Considering all meal costs are extra, it really didn't offer good value for money at all. The food, however, was very good, and the laundry service was a plus. All the staff members were friendly and welcoming. If the room rates were lower, I might consider revisiting. But if the prices and facilities remain as they are, I won't be returning.

I came for a business trip with a truck, and the front desk staff said that the flat parking lot couldn't accommodate trucks. They let me park this time but said it wouldn't be available next time. If they don't accept trucks, they should state it clearly on the booking information. The staff's tone was also very annoying. In the morning, there was construction noise at the main entrance while we were dining. Although it didn't really affect us, there should at least be some safety precautions like traffic cones or warning tape, but I didn't see any.

All good, only the mattress fair, all service and attitude, room space ok

Overall, we had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The location was excellent, with plenty of great dining options nearby. The hotel's also has a unique wall display featuring cards with local recommendations, which was a fun and helpful way to discover places to explore and eat around the area. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay, always ready to assist when needed. One challenge we encountered was that the double room we originally booked felt quite small for our needs. Since a family suite was not available at the start of our stay, we upgraded midway through when one became available. The family suite was spacious, comfortable, and significantly enhanced our experience. If you're traveling with more than one person or prefer extra room, the family suite is definitely worth considering. The hotel also does not provide disposable amenities, in line with Taiwan's sustainability initiatives, so guests should remember to bring their own toiletries. One thing to note is that breakfast is not served in the hotel building itself. The breakfast venue is located about two streets away, roughly a five-minute walk from the hotel. While this wasn't a major inconvenience, it may be something to keep in mind, especially during bad weather or for guests who prefer having breakfast on-site. Despite the initial room size issue and the off-site breakfast arrangement, we enjoyed our stay overall thanks to the convenient location, friendly service, and excellent family suite. We would consider staying here again.

It was a very pleasant experience. The room is incredibly spacious and stylishly decorated. The enormous Jacuzzi with colored mood lighting, offering a view over the city, was truly special. The bed was comfortable, and there was also a seating area with a sofa. A large desk with connections for a laptop and charging options for phones is convenient for those who need it. The bathroom itself is very large. The hotel appears well-maintained. The parking garage was a big plus. The breakfast was good, with plenty of choices. If I had to mention one minor drawback, it would be that the room didn't smell very fresh. It was as if someone had smoked in it, despite it being a non-smoking room. But thankfully, it wasn't too intense.

The hotel's location is convenient, with a small commercial area nearby and a bus stop right outside. The room has been renovated, is spacious, and the TV can stream content on its huge screen. I stayed on the 17th floor and didn't hear any noise, so overall I was very satisfied. The only minor drawback is that the parking lot is uncovered, so it gets quite hot in the summer sun, but free parking is still a good perk. If the parking lot is full, you can park in a nearby lot and the hotel will reimburse the parking fee.

The hotel offers good value for money, but the breakfast selection was just so-so. On our second day, we visited the Second Market, recommended by locals, which was only about a 5-minute walk away. You *must* try the Shan He Braised Pork Rice, beef pan-fried buns, and Lao Lai Black Tea! We had a great time walking around and eating, and our brunch was easily sorted. As for the room, the bed is right in front of you as soon as you open the door. However, the toilet and shower areas are separated (wet and dry), and there's enough space to open a large suitcase. P.S. There are no convenience stores right near the hotel; you'll have to walk a bit to find one.

I stayed in the dorm room this time. You first need to use the kiosk in the lobby for self check-in, and you'll receive the passcode for your bed and the main door. Then you take the elevator up to your floor and enter the passcodes for both the main door and your room door (a bit puzzled that the passcode for the main door and the room door are the same, which might raise some security concerns~). Overall, it was a good experience. It comes with a laundry room, and the shared kitchen offers DIY toast for breakfast along with some complimentary small cookies!

The staff are very nice and helpful. Breakfast tastes good and healthy and the price is reasonable. If you take the taxi to Taichung International Airport, it only costs TWD 625.
