Had a top floor room which had a great view with a very nice terrace. The room was comfortable and sizeable. Breakfast was okay. Located close to the entrance of main street.

They send an email prior to your arrival which they do state that if you pay on site it is cash - our fault for not reading thoroughly but just FYI - even if you book through booking.com (they do precharge your card and take it off prior to your arrival) but just be aware that if you decide to pay on site, it is cash only (there is an ATM located nearby in the 7-11).

Booked a King Room with Mountain View and it was really spacious, with view of the exterior mountains. Max occupants can be expanded to maximum 5 paxs. This room however is located at higher floors so bring light bag instead of large heavy luggage though the stairs are nicely done concrete and not too narrow to navigate. Some other rooms as I research are either small or without windows. The facility is located right at the shopping street about 3mins walk from the Jiufen shopping street entrance so this is the best you can get since you can easily get back to the entrance to start off your shopping walk from start to end. The facility is easily identifiable (see photos of entrance). Entering the facility leads to their restaurant on the ground floor. Services from very attentive staffs are splendid and each customer get a welcome drinks while waiting for them to get ready and lead customer to the room. Guest get 5% discount on food and drinks at the restaurant. The facility has a quiet hours policy between 10pm to 8am so this allows a restful night and is magnetic access lock between 9pm to 8am for security control. Guest can still exit and return to the facility during those hours via latch release from inside and access card from outside. Note that it is cash payment only so prepare for that. To reach Jiufen we took a train from Taipei Main Station (臺北車站) (buy tickets at staffed counter) travelling less than 40mins to Ruifang Train Station (瑞芳車站). From there we walked to a nearby bus stop (near a local Police Station) (check with railway station staff for direction) where we took their local bus 788 or 965 (every 30mins at NT15) for less than 20mins to Jiufen. Seat near the bus driver and request for alert to alight when reaching Jiufen. Alternatively, take a cab or ride. We took their local bus (an hour) from Jiufen directly to Taipei City. Check on Google Map for bus and stops in Taipei City.

As the King Mountain View room is facing west the room was super warm when we arrived checking in 3pm. Advised the staff to assist guest in either turning on the aircon or close the curtains in advance to cool the room down before guest check-in. Our room had the curtain open for show of the scenery and took us a couple of hours to cool down after turning on the aircon. If not for this I would have awarded Exceptional rating of this facility. As majority of shops in Jiufen start operating late morning, there is nothing to walk around for in the early morning so book room with breakfast or prepare your own. There is a 7-Eleven and Family Mart out of and near the entrance of the shopping street.

Retro decor, phonograph music, and a cozy café downstairs create a warm, vintage vibe. Chiu Chunt Dint B&B is a delightful choice for travelers seeking a nostalgic, immersive Jiufen experience. While it may not suit those needing spacious rooms or elevator access, its charm, location, and hospitality more than make up for it. Ideal for solo travelers, couples, and small families looking to enjoy Jiufen’s magic overnight.

No elevator—can be challenging with heavy luggage. We however went with a single backpack and was good with the steps. Payment is cash-only, so plan ahead.

Great location

Payment method (only accept cash,that’s a pain for overseas customers) Lot of stairs not convenient.

The hotel was in the heart of jiufen old street which gave you access to the beautiful street at all times, especially before the buses drop off their large, mindless tour groups to quickly ruin the atmosphere. The room was spacious and the bed was large and comfortable. The view of the mountain and sea was beautiful. The hotel was quiet considering its location— though some noise from guests could be heard when entering snd existing their rooms. The bathroom was nice with the heater, the shower was also pleasant. The room was clean. Over all i enjoyed my stay and would recommend it. Ps.I ate a bowl of their beef noodles in the restaurant down stairs, which i would highly recommend.

The only thing that i didnt like was that the bathroom heater had a 1 hour timer, so you would constantly need to turn it back on.

Perfect location and the cafe has a window seat that’s amazing for people watching. There’s delicious illy coffee if you’re tired of tea. Our room was Japanese inspired with beds on the floor that were quite comfortable and it was very spacious. The bathroom is tiny but clean. We found the staff very helpful and accommodating.

The only problem was the start of some mold in the corner of our room under the wallpaper. My advice, check your room first. No one else mentioned it in reviews so I’m guessing it’s a new problem that’s bloomed with the upcoming wet humid weather.

This B&B is the very best location for staying overnight at Jiufen. The bus stop and 7/11 is right down the street so is extremely convenient if you are bringing luggage or if you need a later meal/ snack (most other vendors and stalls in Jiufen will close by 8/9 pm). Breakfast is simple and delicious; salad, fried egg, ham, toast, rice with braised pork, red bean soup, coffee and tea.

The rooms are not very spacious, but for me it was no issue since we did not spend much time in the room anyways! Be aware that there is no elevator, and all rooms are on the second floor or higher!

Love the location, right in the middle of the busy street. Our rooms are comfy with double bed and a single bed in 2 separate areas with 2 toilets. I'm truly amazed with the space, not sure why people have so much complaints and expected so much from them. Breakfast was simple and nice and it's q good thing they provide since many shops are still closed in the morning. It's very near the entrance of Jiuufen. The rooms are clean and well lit, beds are comfy too

The staircase, we already knew in advance they are bound to be some stairs so we had a light luggage, therefore it was not a problem and we are lucky to sleep on first level.

The location is simply perfect coz its conveniently located inside Jiufen old street, staff are friendly and helpful and the breakfast is great. The welcome drinks upon arrival are also superb. The food served at the cafe is simply delicious...many varieties to choose from. The room is generally ok .

The shower area in the washroom is rather inconvenient as there's no partition between the shower area and the wash basin.

It ended up being a typhoon while we were there but this was a comfortable place to pass the time. There's a cute cafe downstairs that plays oldies music and has a warm feel to it. I loved the retro ambiance. The room was very comfortable and air conditioned. 100% cotton sheets, comfy pillow and mattress. I slept well here. Delicious and hearty breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Thank you!

There were tiny little ants in the room. They didn't seem to bite and mostly left me alone though!
