Hotels near Chiayi Station, Chiayi City

This hotel is super convenient, right across from the Chiayi MRT Station. You can even see the bus stop for Alishan from the station exit. Plus, the MRT offers a free shuttle to the Chiayi Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum, which is a huge bonus. The room was spacious and felt quite new compared to other places in the area. The bedding was clean. Breakfast had limited options, but it was enough to fill up on.

This hotel's biggest selling point is definitely its location: it's right behind Chiayi Train Station, about a 3–5 minute walk away. For anyone needing to catch an early train or get an early start, it's incredibly convenient – I'd give the location full marks. There was a slight hiccup on check-in day: the front desk was initially unattended, and we waited about 15 minutes before someone appeared to help us. I hope the hotel can improve this (e.g., by ensuring staff are present or providing clear contact information). The room's cleanliness was pretty good; the carpet showed no obvious stains, and overall it was comfortable. However, one downside was the lack of a table or surface in the room to put things, especially when bringing back food from the night market. It was a bit tricky figuring out where to put it or how to eat, which detracts from the practicality. On the other hand, the breakfast was a pleasant surprise: I particularly loved their pork floss, which was genuinely softer and crispier than what you usually find at breakfast buffets – excellent with plain congee. The braised pork rice (luroufan) is also worth mentioning; the braised pork had a good fat-to-lean ratio, making it fragrant and delicious with the rice. However, I do have a suggestion: the tofu pudding/dessert area should ideally have a cover or protection. I noticed mosquitoes flying into it, and the tofu pudding itself had a slightly sour taste, not feeling very fresh. I hope this area can be improved. In summary: if your priority is convenient transportation and needing to catch trains, this hotel is very suitable. But if you value an in-room desk/dining space, you might need to adjust your expectations.

I had a pleasant stay at Staryi Hotel in Chiayi. The location is spot on, right opposite Chiayi Train Station, which makes it very convenient. There are also YouBike stations just around the corner, so it’s easy to move around the city. They upgraded my room to a two double-bed room, so the space was huge! The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and the bathroom water pressure was strong, which I always appreciate after a long travel day. A special thanks to the hotel for storing my luggage one day in advance. This helped me a lot because I could go up to Alishan with just a backpack, making the trip much easier. The staff were very friendly and helpful, which made the stay even more pleasant. Overall, a comfortable stay in a very convenient location. Would definitely recommend it.

The hotel is very close to Chiayi TRA Station, just a few minutes' walk away. There's also a bus stop right outside that goes to the High-Speed Rail station in just half an hour. The front desk staff were very welcoming, the room was spacious, and breakfast was plentiful. Highly recommend staying here!

The hotel was within walking distance from Chiayi train station, though the walk wasn't the smoothest, causing my luggage to bump quite a bit. It was easy to find, being a white building directly visible from the street. The room was very spacious, and the bed was large, comfortable, and clean. However, the window was a floor-to-ceiling type that opened diagonally and had an opaque white film, which made me wonder about privacy, despite its intention. It was early March and quite cold. Even with the air conditioning off, it was still chilly, so I imagine it would be even colder in the middle of winter. The reception staff weren't unfriendly, but most didn't smile, except for one person. English communication over the phone was difficult, but there were no issues communicating in person using a translator. I just think the staff uniforms could be updated with a more modern design. Hot water in the bathroom took a while to come on, but the drainage was good, so it wasn't a major inconvenience. The breakfast restaurant served what seemed like ********* home-style food; it was clean, and the staff constantly checked to ensure there was enough food. I'd give the cleanliness full marks.

The Highlight Hotel in Chiayi offers great value for money. Its location is super convenient, just a few minutes' walk from Chiayi Train Station. Whether you're exploring Chiayi city, taking the Alishan Forest Railway, or using other transportation, it's very accessible. The rooms are clean and tidy, making for a comfortable stay. The only downside is that the hotel restaurant has closed down, so you can't have breakfast downstairs. However, considering the price and location, it's definitely a worthwhile stay. I recommend it to anyone visiting Chiayi!

Stayed at Le客 Hotel in Chiayi for a business trip. The location is convenient, the room is clean, and the staff are friendly. However, it's been a bit cold these past few days, and I found the comforter wasn't warm enough, making it a bit chilly at night. Also, the soundproofing of the room door is poor; the noise from doors opening and closing next door was quite loud and easily woke me up. If the warmth and soundproofing could be improved, the overall stay would be much better.

The service attitude was excellent; they were very proactive in helping with everything. Parking was a bit tricky right at the hotel entrance, so we had to use their partner parking lot, which wasn't too far. The hotel itself is pretty standard, not luxurious, and the facilities are a bit dated, but it was still clean and tidy. Unfortunately, the soundproofing between floors wasn't great. Kids running and jumping upstairs sounded like an earthquake all night, and we could also hear noise from the neighboring rooms. The breakfast was a buffet with limited options, pretty much standard fare, but they did have some local specialties like chicken rice and Danzai noodles. Overall, for the price, it was decent value for money, especially if you can overlook the noise issues I mentioned.

This time, I stayed in a bunk bed quad room on a Friday night. The room generally looked clean, but there was dust around the headboard. If you have allergies, this might not be suitable for you. This was my first time staying here, in a bunk bed quad room on the third floor. What was really bothersome was the terrible soundproofing. The noise from above, below, and next door was very noticeable, with a motor sound keeping me up all night. Guests on the same floor slammed their doors shut very loudly. I could also clearly hear people walking upstairs. I saw reviews saying it's backpacker-friendly, but if you're looking for comfort, this probably isn't a good choice. The next morning, around 7 AM, guests on the same floor started checking out. Housekeeping was also very quick to clean the rooms, but this disturbed us as we weren't ready to check out yet. Housekeeping didn't seem to care if there were still guests, opening and closing doors very loudly while cleaning. I think when closing the door, they could just gently guide it shut. Unfortunately, they didn't, and this noise continued until past 9 AM. I felt this whole experience made for a very unpleasant stay. The noise was genuinely incredibly loud. It's a backpacker-friendly hostel, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with poor sleep quality.

The staff were friendly and polite. Parking is limited, so arrive early if you want a spot (it's a bit of a walk). There are breakfast options nearby. The quad room on the fifth floor was small; we had to put our luggage on the bed. The soundproofing wasn't great, and there was a strange machine whirring sound in the middle of the night. The bed was too hard for me to sleep comfortably. The water pressure in the bathroom was very low and kept fluctuating between hot and cold.
