Nantou Villas

The hotel is located above the Sun Moon Lake. The view is fantastic. We booked one lake view room and one room facing the mountain. The room is spacious and the bed is comfortable. The hotel is a bit old. The water pressure of the bathroom is very low, thus it took a long time to take a bath. The water pipe of the water basin is a bit long, it is easy to hurt your eyes if you were careless. The room lights are a bit dim while the sound of the air conditioning is quite noisy. Food varieties of breakfast is good but lack of staffs to refill the foods. You wouldn’t have much to eat if you come to breakfast lately say after 9.30am. The hotel has two car parking spaces. It is convenient and free of charge.

location is good, except too pricey and the room toilet has a smell the room smells mouldy too and an old hotel. if you prefer the location for boat ride and that is perfect other then that , nothing much to credit for.

Supplementary comment~The scenery is too beautiful🥺 We checked in because we were celebrating an anniversary! The hotel also helped with the decoration and provided a bottle of red wine which was very thoughtful☺️ I didn’t go anywhere, just stayed in the hotel and it was so relaxing☺️ There are so many different styles of dinner, but it’s a pity that people with small stomachs can’t hold so many things..😂 After eating, you can go to the play area to move around and throw a basketball to digest... I was so full that I played darts and pool 😂😂 It was so fun 😁 There was some incident at breakfast the next day that I won’t go into details~ But the hotel's handling method is very good. It takes our feelings into consideration! Tea was originally given to us as a gift, but we did not accept it at the moment. But when we checked out, the hotel staff personally gave us handmade bread from the hotel’s baking department and insisted that we accept it😀 I will still choose here next time I go to Nantou for vacation^_^

The best part about this hotel (国民賓館) is its location. Bus 6664, 6658, 6659 all stop less than 80m from its entrance if you're using Nantou bus. It's along the main road which is easy for pickups if you're joining local day or night tours. Across the road from Little Swiss Garden. Even Cingjing Farm has signs along its walking paths directing visitors to the hotel. The other main benefit was that the room rates I paid on Trip.com included a pair of tickets to Green Green Grassland, Little Swiss Garden and a discounted ticket (only need top up 30TWD each) to the Cingjing Skywalk - pleasantly surprised to know this only at check-in although I knew beforehand that the room rates included basic Chinese breakfast for 2, which was another convenient point for guests. The hotel buildings and room was a bit dated, no aircon since the weather in the evening and morning is cooling. But the room, bed, utilensils and toilet were clean. The view from the room balcony and hotel garden was nice to view sunset.

Excellent location. The room was clean and tidy. Will stay here again if I visit Sun Moon Lake again.

Love their service! Their breakfast is very special, very localised and what's more... we're allowed to refill! Their also prepared night tea. Though it's only night tea, they prepared a lot of food like soup, porridge, rice, cup noodles, cookies, beverage... The surrounding is very instagrammable too 😍

Adorei o Hotel, fiquei numa cabana que tem dois andares, as minhas meninas ficaram no andar de cima e o casal embaixo, quartos grandes, limpos e com vista para as montanhas. O local tem muito verde, ar de qualidade e muita paz. O Hotel tem restaurante e café da manhã bem servido.

Stayed for two nights. A staff were all friendly and helpful right from the moment you pull up the luggage drop off. Check in took a while but they directed each party to a different lounge section and provided drinks and snacks while they processed your arrival. Our bags were waiting for us when we got to the rooms. The room and bathrooms were clean. A bottle of their house red was provided each day along with bottles of beer, water and other snacks. A different series of toiletries were also provided each day. Dinner was included during our stay and entree choices were provided upfront. For guest staying more than a night, they provide a different menu up to 3 days. Guests can also opt for the staff to make arrangements for dinner at an outside establishment. Each course was delicious. It rained quite a bit during our stay so there were areas that were a bit musky but overall, it was a relaxing stay with good food and friendly staff.

The first impression when entering the hotel was ”wow”. Aesthetic Japanese style architecture with a great view of sun moon lake. The bar and reception also have a beautiful lake view. The staff speaks excellent English and is very friendly and helpful. Upon entering our suite with lake view we also said wow. Great styling, spacious room layout, large balcony with beautiful lake view. On closer inspection of the room we noticed that it was worn and used in various places, sockets did not work, stains on the sofa, defective lamps…. In addition, there was no coffee maker in the room, only instant coffee. The pool area, overlooking the lake,is also very stylish and well maintained. The service at the pool is good. However, the pool is soon shaded in the late afternoon. There is a peculiarity when visiting the pool, which seems strange, at least for Western guests: in the outdoor pool, a bathing cap must be worn. The restaurants look very nice, but we had problems with the menu card because we don't eat fish or meat. The selection was very limited, leaving us with only the pizza from the room service menu. The hotel is very popular with Japanese guests, only a few Western guests. At the morning meal, the service staff started cleaning the floor before the end of breakfast time. Quite a few guests were still eating. For a luxury hotel with these prices, this is a no go. From the hotel, you can walk along the lake on a nice, quiet sidewalk, and get in about 10 minutes to the main town, where the boats depart. The Lalu is by far the most beautiful hotel in Sun moon Lake, but should be renovated to justify the high prices.
