A lovely area and beautiful design. It was a quick one-night stop, but it had everything we needed. The kids loved the big tub in the bathroom. They also loved the huge Jenga game, the rocking horses, and the kayak in the hotel lobby, stopping for a game every time we passed by. The hotel offers parking, which we used, and a lovely store with some cool condiments and teas. Very good value for money.

It’s a bit far from the city, so great if you’re traveling by car but might be harder for public transportation travelers. The breakfast was delightful for us, but a bit tricky for the kids, who are less flexible with what they like. You can choose from 3 or 4 options, but there aren't many changes suitable for kids. More kid-friendly options would have made our breakfast perfect, though the food itself is very good.

We went in late October and the place was decorated with Halloween props. There was a large skeleton figure in the center of the lounge area and it spoke periodically, which freaked me out initially because I didn't think that it could speak. All in good fun though! (: The staff were friendly and I liked how the lounge area provided reading materials for travellers to browse through and borrow during their stay. They also provided a drink (winter melon tea if I'm not wrong?) that's self-service and it was delicious. Room wise, I felt that it was spacious enough for two people. Water pressure in the bathroom was great and the toilet comes with a bidet! Breakfast was included (not buffet style but ala carte meals) with our room rate and it was satisfying.

I don't think there's anything I don't like about it! Perhaps, if anything, it would be the distance? It'll be a little tough to get here if one isn't a local and doesn't drive. But, it was okay for us as we engaged a service and had a tour guide to bring us around.

Great for parking and for birdlife. Lovely staff, nice entrance hall.

The breakfast is very Taiwanese - great if you like fish, seafood etc for breakfast. I am more conservative at breakfast and asked for toast and fruit. This then was not great. There should perhaps be one option of a plate of fruit + yoghurt + toast and jam or something like that for a more French-type breakfast. It would have been nice to have a drink in the evening, but it all seemed very closed. The continual Christmas music already in November was not nice.

The breakfast was good - order the big breakfast most of the time. They were generous with the squid in the squid beehoon soup. The staff were very friendly. Place was clean. The rooms were also very clean and spacious, with no foul smell. Soundproofing was also great. We could not hear our neighbours talk. Only when they slam the door back.

Nothing

The hotel is located very close to the maritime museum in Keelung and it's just a 10-15min walk to a popular small hiking peninsula with great views, e.g. of Jiufen. It's also very easy to get to the hotel from Taipei by bus. Additionally there are some decent restaurants around for dinner on the peninsula in particular. Unfortunately the hotel itself does not have views of the ocean since it's separated from it by a big rock/hill. In the rooms the windows are also opaque, so you cannot really see outside in any case. There are some nice common area terraces to hang out on instead. The breakfast was buffet style with a choice of main. We took an omelette with shrimp and the portion was more than enough. Overall I'd come here again for a quick getaway.

As mentioned, the windows are opaque and it's also not possible to properly open them. We were more there for exploring anyway, so for us this wasn't a problem. But if you're wanting to lounge in bed while enjoying views, then that's not so easy and you might want to opt for one of the rooms with terrace. Otherwise the common areas are a good replacement as well.

The property was very modern & clean. I loved the water stations outside the room, we had a choice of cold, temperate or sparkling water. A plus for this hotel was the self serve laundry where we were able to wash our own clothes instead of roaming around town trying to find a laundromat. Plus easy car parking stops close to the town . Great place to stay when weather is not pleasant!!

Nothing!!

1. close proximity to train station 2. Comfortable bed, clean spacious room 3. Tasty breakfast 4. Souvenir shop with great selections

Window opening was not suggested due to insects warning, would love to have more nature view from the room. Early closure of restaurant need to dine out

I like the location and the design of the hotel. It's surrounded by nature, and the interior design & furniture are simple, elegant, and practical. The breakfast is good. Besides the main dish, we got to try a variety of salad, fruits, bread, and beverages. It's a place that I'll visit again.

Beautiful environment, very well refurbished building of a former dormitory. Spacious and comfortable room.

Cleanliness, location
