Hotels near Chiayi Sherih Tower, Chiayi City

The room is cozy and clean. The only downside was the toilet seat is without heat warmer and bidet. But the location was great as it is walking distance to the night market and also 10mins walking distance to the hinoki village. The hotel offers cab service go bring us up to Alishan mountain and the driver was very on time. They even gave us free vouchers to claim for snacks and coffee/tea/alcohol at the bar area at lobby to chill.

This hostel is super close to Chiayi train station, which is incredibly convenient. It's located down an alleyway, so it's not noisy at all. Light Hostel is by far the most satisfying hostel I've ever stayed in, both in terms of cleanliness and facilities. It offers great value for money: 1. The lobby has individual shoe lockers, and you change into indoor slippers before entering the rooms, which is very hygienic. 2. The dorm beds have blackout curtains, providing privacy and preventing disturbances from roommates. There's a small reading light at the head of the bed, so you don't have to worry about dim lighting when reading or using your phone at night. There are hooks at the foot of the bed for hanging clothes or towels. 3. The bathrooms are exceptionally clean and tidy. If you're an early riser or come back late, there are hairdryers in the common area, so you don't disturb your roommates. Each room has its own water heater, so you don't have to wait long for hot water when showering. 4. The lobby has a water dispenser with 24-hour hot water, and both the kitchen and common areas are very clean. If you're visiting Chiayi, Light Hostel is an excellent choice!

Considering this place a 4 star isn't really a match with 4 star average. I got kinda disappointed by the customer service. Early check in and late check out was basically not possible. They wanted to charge me 700 ntd for 1 hour of late check out, is it a joke? At check in (1.30h before regular check in time) the front desk agent asked me if that room was okay for me, since she asked I kindly asked if it would be possible to have a room on a higher floor instead, she mentioned that the housekeeping didn't finish the cleaning on other floors but she added that they have prepared this room in advance for me since it was ready. I agree on getting that room since I was in a rush, after check in formalities have been concluded she tells me that the room isn't ready yet, she asked me to step on the side for a few minutes, then had to wait 42 minutes before she called me again giving me the keys. I was shocked. Definitely won't be going back here.

The room was spacious and the front desk service was excellent. However, complimentary bottled water isn't provided, and disposable toiletries are only given upon request, which is a bit different from what's common in mainland China. The 3rd floor has a communal lounge and a laundry room, and it seemed quite lively with many people chatting. However, after a long day of sightseeing, I was too tired to socialize. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, being extremely close to the high-speed rail station, bus station, and night market! The ********* people are incredibly friendly! My boyfriend almost lost his phone at the night market, but a snack stall owner helped keep it safe for him. We're truly grateful for their kindness!

Very near to train station and walking distance to night market. They also provide bicycle for rent. I requested for 1hr extension as I had gout attack and till medication in the morning. I needed extra time for the medicine to take effect before I can walk properly. Thank you for the exception offered. Really appreciate it. Breakfast is good too just that I had no appetite that morning due to gout.

On a last-minute business trip to Chiayi, An Lan Chu's self check-in was incredibly convenient. There's an Akun breakfast spot right across the street; I just had to queue for a bit to grab some breakfast. Enjoying it back at An Lan Chu and chatting with my roommates was really pleasant!

The hotel was about 800 meters from the train station. It was close to the night market. Hinoki Village was a little longer walk but still close to the hotel. Since the train / bus station was close, it was easy to get transportation to Alishan National Forest. The rooms were large. The bath had an enclosed shower stall. Sink was in the bedroom area. A kettle, refrigerator and hair dryer are in the room. Liquid hand soap at the sink (which you do not see often in Taiwan). That was much appreciated! Free hot/cold/warm water dispenser in the lobby. The front desk is very helpful. They have a large capacity washer and dryer on the 5th floor (50 TWD per washer load). Floors are secured by elevator room card keys.

The hotel offers a convenient parking lot with unlimited in-and-out access, which I found fantastic. It's really handy for travelers driving to Chiayi, as you don't have to constantly search for parking. The accommodation price is also very reasonable. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

Satisfactory 2-night stay that they also provide complimentary breakfast . Clean and decent space. We are happy and would use it again if the price is affordable. Recommended 👍

Great location near the Chiayi train station. Very convenient if you plan a day trip to Alishan. However we found ants and cockroaches in our room. It was manageable on a budget but if insects make you uncomfortable I would not recommend.
