Gau Shan Ching Hotel Reviews

This is my second time visit Alishan, the first time was last year .To walk from Alishan bus station to Gua Shan Ching is painful if you need to carry your luggage to the uphill road, the hotel didn’t provide shuttle to the bus station .The cleanliness of the toilet can be further improved, the bedsheet is white and clean. The food at 山芝卿are quite good especially the 贵妃魚and Beef . I had dinner for all the 3 nights there, hiking up 塔山is quite tough, it took me 3 hours to hike up with raining day.

Clean, staff can speak and understand basic english. Fair price, they have free breakfast too but different location.

The hotel’s location is decent—central enough to access main areas, though not particularly scenic or lively. The room was quite small, feeling cramped with luggage, and the service was basic (no frills or warm hospitality). A minor but noticeable inconvenience: no complimentary water bottle in the room, which would’ve been appreciated after a day of travel. It’s functional for a one-night stay if you just need a place to sleep, but I wouldn’t recommend it for longer visits. Manage expectations and pack light!

Hotel is very old . Room is very small . Hot water only available from 4pm to next morning 8am. No kettle in the room but there is one hot/cold water dispenser next to the lift. Most likely would try other hotel if I happen to be there again

The decorations create a very festive atmosphere, and the room's environment is within an acceptable range.

simple and decent hotel, stay for 1 night only and very near the train station. very convenient.

Quite run down hotel and room but for the price and location still quite worth it since its next to alishan train station. Don’t expect too much from the hotel staff.

Right at the Alishan, great location. Do not expect too much on the cleanliness. Very dirty that we had to bring on disposable bed sheets and room floor is very dirty. No food at the hotel, you need to walk up the stairs to the Alishan central to have breakfast at one of the restaurants (depending on which restaurant they partner with each week/month).

it's okay, not dirty. The price is lower when you booked, we tried to walk in but it's expensive, we booked on the spot, we got the room in lower price but they didn't give us toothebrush 😅 and head cap.

It was fine. There's not much choice at Alishan and everything is overpriced. Bear in mind if you have heavy bags, the hotels are down steep steps. Really noisy hotel but that can't be helped with the tour groups coming in and out, especially early morning and evening. Breakfast is at a restaurant about five minutes walk away

Friendly staff. Room was a little unclean, but nothing serious. Located where most other hotels. Breakfast was at another location in a restaurant, but close by. it was typical chinese style breakfast with rice, congee and some vegetarian toppings like cabbage and egg.

Room is decent clean enough, location wise easy to find just is in the middle of that series of hotel so quite a walk especially uphill. They need to charge a surcharge for extra pillow required. Heater will not on if the temperature is more than 8 degrees, so traveller do take note this limitation.

Was worried when we booked this - reviews online are pretty bad. Yes it was very expensive for what it was and we definitely needed ear plugs. But the beds were comfortable and the location perfect. I'd stay there again

It was nice but not so clean. The sink was broken and water is going down the floor instead of the sewage. It has hot shower tho which is very helpful since the temperature in Alishan is very low and cold.
