| So beautiful you won't want to leave! ☆ Taichung accommodation | So beautiful you won't want to leave! The whole building is full of plants. As soon as you step in, you will be instantly attracted by the atrium. It's so beautiful~ I chose the *Comfort Double Room* and was surprised by the whole space as soon as I entered the room. The cool style with warm wood and the cute sofa is my favorite. I like it very much. It's very comfortable and I think the CP is super high. Although the bathroom is super big, it's a bit empty, but the water pressure and temperature are great. There are also free drinks available at the front desk 24 hours a day. I want to visit again.

Old buildings renovated into green plant hotels🪴|||In Taichung, we chose SOF Hotel - Zhi Guang Garden Hotel for our accommodation. Zhi Guang Garden Hotel is a hotel transformed from an old house, and there is a greenhouse in the hotel lobby🌿🪴🍃🌸🌼🌹 The location is in the center of Taichung, many delicacies and attractions are within walking distance, including Taichung's Second Market and Miyahara Ophthalmology. The room type we booked was a deluxe double suite, which has its own small living room, and both the living room and bedroom have TVs and bathtubs. The style of the room is dark but does not affect the comfort level. During our stay, we happened to encounter a special event at the hotel, which was that the hotel lobby offered free white wine at specific times, and although the choices were not many, we also felt like we got a bargain (the mentality of being pleased with small gains)🤣 Facility Comfort⭐⭐⭐⭐ Geographical Advantage⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service Experience⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💰$3499/night (including breakfast) 📍 SOF Hotel - Zhi Guang Garden Hotel No. 52, Guangfu Road, Central District, Taichung City, 400, Taiwan
