Taichung Heping District 5-star Hotels

On the same day, I took the public bus to Guguan Terminal. I was not familiar with the road of life, so I went to the tourist center to check the location of the hotel. Unexpectedly, the staff of the tourist center helped me inform the hotel. What is even more unexpected is that the hotel sent a car to pick up our luggage. Let us go back to the hotel to check in after a relaxing sightseeing. 😁 We immediately feel the hospitality of Taiwanese.

I spent two nights at Hoshinoya Guguan in a Feng room. The hotel was accommodating, converting the beds from three singles to a king and a single for us. Regrettably, despite its stunning location in the mountains, the resort doesn’t justify its high rates. I’ve visited other hot springs resorts, and, unfortunately, Hoshinoya Guguan doesn’t measure up. Additionally, there’s ongoing construction nearby, which is incredibly loud. The noise from the banging and machines disrupted the peaceful setting, forcing us to stay indoors rather than enjoying the outdoors. For those interested in the onsen, it’s worth noting that the public hot spring is open only from 6-10 a.m. and 4-10 p.m. It closes for cleaning daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., which seems impractical. Ideally, cleaning would occur overnight to not disrupt daytime use. The dining options are quite limited. Dinner at the restaurant was underwhelming with bland food, and the courses arrived too quickly, making us feel rushed. Breakfast is available from 7-9:30 a.m. and lunch from 12-2 p.m., offering narrow time frames for meals and very limited menu options. Missing the breakfast window means waiting until noon to eat. We were glad that we opted out of the meal plan. Our room spanned two floors, with the convenience of having the toilet on the same level as the bed. This is helpful for nighttime visits, though I was surprised that a room at this price point didn’t have a toilet on both floors. An automatic light and toilet seat are thoughtful touches, but the brightness of the light at 3 a.m. can be jarring. Adjustable lighting would be an improvement. The beds were comfortable, but the room lacked effective blackout blinds, letting in early morning sunlight. Additionally, an illuminated exit sign and a bright red ceiling light contributed to a less-than-dark sleeping environment. The resort provides pajamas and lounge wear, but the quality is disappointing. Our set had missing buttons and ties, and replacements were similarly damaged. A ‘mini-bar’ with complimentary beer, Coca-Cola, Sprite, coffee, and tea is included. However, given the cost of the stay, these offerings seem basic. Complimentary snacks or fruit would enhance the value. The staff at Hoshinoya Guguan is exceptional—friendly and helpful. Yet, the facilities, dining, and overall value fall short. In summary, the experience doesn’t live up to the price. Significant improvements are necessary to justify the cost.

The hotel is right next to Taichung train station and Tarako mall which both have food court with many food options. There are buses around the station can take you anywhere around Taichung including Sun Moon lake. The buffet breakfast was good with mainly Chinese/********* food options. We stayed in a family room which was just big enough and had space to be able to open our suitcases. The staff were very polite.

Good Location to Bus station and to Night Market. Its also next to a major bus transport if you wish to travel to outskirt of the city in taichung. The hotel is also located in an outlet mall. The Breakfast spread is good daily.

Location: near the train station which was super convenient for us. was a short 5min walk away. Family mart right beside the hotel is a bonus too! Room: spacious and clean. our room had a bathtub! downside - very limited powerpoints available. must to bring travel adapter. Laundry: the free laundry was super helpful for our trip, even tho it's self service. laundry room is on the basement, which isn't accessible from the main lift and require climbing stairs. able to purchase laundry powder for 30TWD from the counter, which was convenient. laundry room has 2 washers and 2 dryers, took us about 1.5h-2h to complete the washing and drying cycles together.

One of my favourite hotel!! Breakfast is very nice with a lot of options to choose. Love that there is TV in the toilet. The room is spacious for 4 adults. The downside is that the hotel is in the middle of the road. So it is a bit hard to cross the road if there is a lot of car driving pass.

I thought this is an excellent hotel based on the price they charged, although the facility is quite old. By the way, the breakfast provided is really good for Chinese passengers since most of the residence overnight is from Taiwan, **************, and also Great Asia. I believe this is a hotel for the visitors with strict budget limitation.

The front desk staff responded cordially and professionally. The parking lot cooperates with Carrefour next door and allows unlimited entry and exit. You can park until 1 pm the next day, making it easy to leave after lunch. The room's software and hardware are of average quality, and the lighting is good without being dim. There are traces or dirt from long-term use, but the sound insulation is poor, and the next door neighbor can clearly hear coughing and talking loudly, even if the door is closed; there is a flush toilet in the bathroom, and although the bathtub is suitable for one person to take a bath, the width is a bit narrow; the air-conditioning temperature is a bit difficult to control. It has been kept at a very low temperature, and it will feel cold when you leave the bed and the bathroom. Overall, the CP value is okay, but I may not stay here again.

I have stayed here many times. The accommodation is spacious, clean and tidy. There is a parking lot and breakfast is provided. The dining environment is clean, spacious and comfortable. You can book a room in advance on the app. It is convenient and effective. It is located in the city and is convenient for shopping. It is a great place to stay when going out. Great place to stay.

The overall hotel is bright and simple, a business-type hotel. There is an underground parking lot, Chinese and Western breakfast is served in buffet style, and the service staff is friendly. Only the door to the room is heavy and can easily produce loud noise when closed.
