NINGCUI HOTEL

Chose a room without windows at an affordable price. Location is near miyahara and Taichung train station. However, there IS NO ROOM SERVICE AT ALL. We have to exchange our towels at the counter and toiletries are not provided.

1. 🕰️ Was asked to be seated while the reception prepared my check in (note that check in is at 5pm, I arrived around 315pm so I asked if they could let me check in slightly earlier). After about 45 mins, I went to check on the status and the reception has clearly forgotten about my check in. 2. 🪳Probably the most turned off thing of the stay. Opened the door and was greeted by a cockroach and a rubbish tissue (see photo). Live cockroach… 3. 🧹 No daily housekeeping. No bottled water provided. No hand soap so just got to make do with shower gel. The good part about this hotel is probably the location and the size of the room is pretty decent.

Given the price, this room is spacious and clean. Staff were friendly. Except the breakfast is vegetarian and ends at 10 sharp.

Location is ok. Although it's near train station but have to walk a bit and have cross a main roads to get there. It's near to a few attractions. It's clean. Service is ok too. They are helpful. Just that the structure of the rooms is not so good. Especially the floor is board floor~ so it's quite noisy. Especially the dorm room lower bunk. every time somebody walk it will be very noisy. And when you are sleeping at the lower bunk, whenever the people upper bunk move they will be a squeaking sound. At night it will be very noisy because they will still be people blowing hair doing their things which make it impossible to sleep. It's not sound proof at all.

The vibe overall in the shared hostel was one of silence and privacy. Environment was clean and also every cubicle came with personal light and charging socket. Good choice for a budget solo traveller stay!

Great price, excellent breakfast. Close to city, friendly staff and updated facilities. However no towel provided and pay parking. I paid the staff for parking and still couldn’t get out of the garage (I might parked at the wrong parking garage) so I paid at the kiosk in order to get out. Didn’t go back to ask for money back. Parking will be an issue if you have a car.
