This hotel was part of a tour, so I can't comment on the price, but the hotel was very comfortable. Checkin was quick, and the front-desk people spoke excellent English. The room was large and bright with a long sofa a long the window. There were plenty of plugins, and a good workdesk area. The bathroom was huge, with a large walk-in shower as well as a bathtub. The only downside for the room was that it had less storage than some - not an issue for one person occupying the room, but for two people it might be. The breakfast buffet in the morning was excellent. They have two restaurants for breakfast, one western and one Asian. I opted for the western-style restaurant, but even it had a large selection of traditional Asian breakfast foods, as well as the normal western breakfast foods. All was delicious. There are some nice parks quite close to the hotel, and the beautiful Confucian temple is within easy walking distance of the hotel.

Very nice upscale hotel in the heart of Tainan, close to lots of cool bars, restaurants, shopping, etc. Short cab or bus ride to tourist destinations that surround the city, like the Anping district. Excellent stay, especially if you're looking for 5 star service (and Tainan is pretty affordable for that compared with Taipei).

I stayed for three nights in a deluxe room with a king bed, and loved the huge amount of space and attractive decor. There were interesting ornaments with historical connections, a nice long lounge by the window, a pleasant city view, wall TV, a good-sized table and comfortable chair. I much appreciated the coffee capsule machine, and there was also a smaller "mini rotated coffee maker". There were reading lamps and charger slots in the bedhead. Useful shelving, good clothes hanging space and a safe. A full-length mirror. The adjustable air conditioning was very efficient and Wi-Fi worked well. Housekeeping was excellent. The staff were very good, helpful and attentive. An issue with leaking adjacent to one of the bathroom mirror lamps was attended to and turned out not to be a drama as it wasn't affecting the electricals. There was a big bath with a separate shower and toilet. The toilet didn't have its own door which might worry some couples. Water pressure was good. There was a warning that the bath could be slippery - like all baths can be, and a bath rail would be a useful addition. Also, I had to use the hand wash from the sink for bathing. There wasn't anywhere to hang wet clothes. And because the sink cabinet was right next to the bath, it wasn't easy to remove the bathplug after getting out of the bath. The doors between the bed/lounge area and the "kitchen"/bathroom/lobby area could be closed, which was good as the latter area had some sort of machine humming all night. I didn't really use the AI friend, and perhaps that was where the "Do Not Disturb" worked from as there wasn't anything to put on the door or switch on. One morning I had a late breakfast and the housekeeping staff member knocked on the door soon after I returned - if I'd been any later we would've run into each other. There were gorgeous lifesize paper mâché statues of a wild boar and sow near the lifts on my floor, and a boar family downstairs, with other installations include cute bear football supporters. I also liked the illustrated historical wall displays. The breakfasts were delicious, and room service meals were good. There was also a great cake shop offering guest discounts. There was a range of complimentary items - water x 2, a Pocari drink, the best sparkling tea, sweet slices and face masks. For use in the room there were booklets and pamphlets about Tainan, and I was given a good city map. The hotel is well-located, very close to the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi shopping centre, with lots of sights and eateries within walking distance, such as the Blueprint Culture and Creative Park, Tainan City Museum, Snail Alley and Tainan Art Gallery. I also walked to the historical Hayashi Department Stores and Tainan Confucius Temple. Buses and taxis were available nearby/outside.
