Qiaoyuan Bed and Breakfast

We, including our 85-year-old mother loved the interior decor and the view. We greatly appreciated that the owner/manager could speak to us in Japanese. She was very kind and friendly, helping us with our luggage and showing us where to pick up our taxi, which she organised. The only issue is with Google Map showing us how to get to the guesthouse—a straight but steep climb up the stairs from the bus stop instead of the longer but gentler paved path. It was hard with our suitcases. Maybe a pdf attachment with a map and directions would help in the future.

We had a pleasant and cozy stay at this B&B in Jiufen. It’s about a 15-minute walk from the bus stop...not far, but just lots of stairs to get there. The B&B owner was friendly and accommodating. We arrived early in the morning before check-in time and called to ask if we could leave our luggage. She answered promptly and kindly allowed us to do so. It takes about a 15-minute walk to Jiufen Old Street. The room we stayed in was on the second floor. It was clean and decorated in a Moomin theme. It had two futon beds, a heater (total lifesaver on cold nights), a coffee machine with capsules (though the coffee could be better), an electric kettle, green tea (much better than the coffee), towels, and other amenities. The only downside was that we couldn’t get the TV to work. The private bathroom was located on the first floor, which wasn’t very convenient but manageable. The room did get a bit stuffy at times, but on the bright side, there was a balcony where we could open the windows, enjoy the fresh air, and even sit outside with a cup of tea while taking in the morning view. Overall, it was a lovely place to stay.

A very pleasant and warm home stay at Jiufen. Convenient short walk to Old Street. Room was clean and tidy and cutely decorated in Hello Kitty style. Whilst not a fan of Hello Kitty, it was fun nonetheless.
