2-Star Hotels in Taiwan, China

Smile comma consists of two hotel locations and we got the latter one which might have honestly been just what we were looking for! Only problem was that it seemed more like a single and double bed combined but no issues besides that.

Excellent hostel overall. The capsules are a novel idea. Good privacy and the shared bathrooms are very clean. Everything is very clean however maybe the mattresses need removing from the capsule beds and the dust removed every now and again. Very dusty. Also be careful there are mosquitoes around.

Pros: Great location in central Taipei. The bedding was clean. Price was good. There is a common room with kitchen in the basement. The lockers were good to put your bags away in securely. Check out time of 11.30am was more generous than most places. The water in the showers was a good temperature. Cons: The guy I got on the check in was curt to the point of rudeness. The toilet seat in the male dorm kept falling down, so you could stand peeing trying to hold it up or pee through the hole. Not ideal. Lots of mosquitoes in the basement. There are endless little signs telling you not to do certain things and that “violators” will be fined - this didn’t seem like the fun implied by the name “Fun Inn”. The toilets smelt like pee - quite possibly due to the aforementioned toilet seat issue.

This is a good place to stay if you need to be very near to Taipei Main Station and Taoyuan Airport MRT, with the latter just less than 5 minutes to the ticketing and platform area. Few steps only from Y13 exit of Taipei City Mall underground, to get to the MRT exits Y16 and Y20 is easily reached on the opposite side below. Word of caution though, the hotel does not have any lifts which maybe troublesome for those with heavy luggage. However, once you reach the reception at level 2 via stairs at the main entrance, the rooms inside are relatively big enough at a low price compared to nearby hotels on this area. Safe locker and fridge is also provided with a sofa near the bed, though having a room with no windows means the dirt might accumulate on some of the corners. The amenities are at level 6 such as the laundry area and main breakfast/eating area. The breakfast included on this booking is good enough to start the day, consisting of dumplings, baos and bread with spreads. Vending machines for coffee and tea is present, and I appreciate the hotel’s initiative for us to self clean the utensils, plates and mugs after use. Housekeeping though is only done once unless requested. Instead of key card, actual keys are used to access the rooms. The card included is for the main entrance for use when arriving late at night. Overall I still experience a comfortable stay and might consider it again.

It was a good stay, the bathroom and toilet surprisingly clean and no unpleasant smell. They have refrigerate to keep the food and drinks, Cold air-con, lobby and balcony to sit and gather around, coffee, water dispenser, microwave, personal locker, and more. Definitely not for light sleepers and it will be quite troublesome to bring medium-big size luggage.

Pros: Good price. Comfortable communal area. Lots of showers available. Friendly and organised staff. Kitchen facilities offered. Quite close to the Longshan Temple and Nanjichang Night Market for tasty dinners. Cons: Nothing in particular.

For a very convenient stay very close to the Taoyuan airport , and the very useful Gloria Outlet. Along with walking distance to the High speed and MRT trains. This hotel offers everything.. Off street free Parking and a courteous staff who's able to assist you 24 hours a day. Private and semi private bathrooms to choose from.

Super convenient location (literally right outside one of the exits of Taipei Main Station). Staff were helpful and cleanliness was acceptable, especially considering the price of one night. For 120 NTD, you could do a round of laundry (washing powder + washing machine usage + dryer usage), and the dryer worked really well so clothes came out fully dry and fresh!

My reason to stay - had to stay one more night to catch a flight from Songshan Airport, but didn't want to spend a lot of $$. Location - It was only 40 mins away from the airport and only cost 25 TWD to the airport. - The location is very good if you are planning to look around Ximen area; it is close to Donkihote, Temple, Art museum, Carrefour etc Amenities - there is a free ear plug. - Loved that they gave fresh towels, shampoo, body wash, and slippers. Room - The room was a bit cold, but the blanket is warm enough to sleep well. - The room was quite at night. You could hear alarm in the morning, but you cannot hear people snoring. You can only hear when you are in the hallway. When you leave the room - you have to return your key and reclaim it when you are back. I found this interesting. Overall - The room is very small, and you can only fit your luggage. However, if you are going to stay for a couple nights or in a tight budget, I would highly recommend staying here.

Clean and comfortable stay with Bluewater. The sharing bathroom always stay clean and tidy. Purpose of stay was to go event / concert at the nearby baseball stadium, walking distance 15 mins. 10 mins walk from hsr station, near to mall for shopping.

ห้องพักสะอาด มีลิฟท์ มีไดร์เป่าผม มีผ้าเช็ดตัว มีผ้าเช็ดผม มีทิชชูให้ เช็คอินผ่านตู้อัตโนมัติ ด้านล่างโรงแรมมีชาแบบซองให้ชงเอง และมีไมโครเวฟให้ใช้ อยู่ใกล้ซีเหมินติง เดินทางสะดวก ออกทางออก 6 mrt ximen เดินตรงมาประมาณ 2 แยกไฟแดง ก่อนถึงโรงแรมมีแฟมิรี่มาร์ท ตรงข้ามโรงแรมมีเซเว่น ราคาดี แอร์เย็น มีน้ำอุ่นให้อาบ The room is clean, there is an elevator, a hair dryer, towels, hair towels, tissues, check-in via an automatic machine, downstairs the hotel has tea bags for you to brew yourself, and a microwave for use. It is near Ximending, convenient to travel, take exit 6 of MRT Ximen, walk straight for about 2 traffic lights, before reaching the hotel there is a Family Mart, opposite the hotel there is a 7-Eleven, good price, cold air conditioning, hot water for bathing.

This is an excellent hotel as it is right in the middle of Raohe night market. One thing to take note for travellers is there is NOTHING in the day and the area only comes alive in the evening around 5pm. It is to walk the night market, eat from start to end and head back to the hotel. Do take note that the hotel is located near exit 2 (note for travellers with suitcases: There is no lift OR escalator heading down to the station, yes to heading up) and you will need to cut through the Raohe market. Head left and it will be around 50m walk and you will see the signboard. It is a basic no frills hotel for travellers making a stop, don't expect to have facilities. I love that it has a sofa and a small table for me to have a beer and food from the night market

The aunt at the counter was very nice and helped us with many introductions. She also helped us upgrade to a corner window room. Overall, we had a very clear view of the land and sea, the Kaohsiung Central Park Christmas tree, and the Yinxi drone. If the toilet could be larger, Really perfect❤️

Room was clean, water pressure for shower was great, provided hairdryer upon request. hotel staff was helpful- when she saw me with a small water bottle, she offered me a free bottle of mineral water even though I’d already checked out from the hotel and wasn’t their hotel guest anymore. They have a pantry which provides hot water and mocha/tea for you as drink. Overall satisfied with what the hotel had offered

This hostel is situated near (5 to 7 min walk) the MRT station which is connected to the airport. The staff are very accommodating. The only downside is the room which is a little bit small for 8 occupants, but not a big deal because most of the time especially during daytime I'm not in the hotel. Huge lobby to stay for internet time.

This was okay. I didn't sleep very well but the staff was nice and generally the place is kept clean. Does get an odd set of travellers. But works very well for those on budget. The location too is walkable to the nearest subway and plenty of food places. Overall, it should be fine for shorter stays. The prices do go up over the weekends but that's the case with most of taiwan.

The room was very small and the bathroom didn't even have hand sanitizer. The soundproofing is very poor. We live on the third floor. We woke up 4 or 5 times in the middle of the night. There were vehicles entering downstairs and we heard them. I don’t know what was knocking next door in the middle of the night. It was very noisy upstairs. People passing by outside the door could hear everything. The air conditioner The control screen is very bright, but I can't turn it off, so I can't sleep at all. I also gave up on breakfast. There were blood stains on the mattress and quilt. I saw it when I woke up. It was very scary. I had to wait for a long time to get to the lift. The location is convenient and close to the racing park. The hotel staff are also quite friendly.

Pros: Location is very good, just 2 mins walking distance from exit 11 Formosa Boulevard Station. Liuhe Night Market just outside the hotel. Room is big enough for 3 persons, clean, but the bed not very comfortable. It’s more like an Inn than hotel. Cons: Exit 11 Formosa Boulevard Station, there’s only have staircase, no escalator or elevator. You need to go slightly further to take elevator. It’s very difficult to locate the building as the hotel shared the building with other hotel and some offices I guess. We couldn’t find the hotel English name from outside the building, even until we go to the lobby, they never show “Kaohsiung I Hi Hotel” This hotel is at level 7 and 10 only, the lobby is at level 10.

It was located near the center of town and was convenient to access. Finding it was a tad tricky due to it being in an alleyway. This would be the premier choice if you're looking for a cheap, spartan, yet extremely clean place to sleep. Showers and toilets are shared. Access is by keyed combinations sent to one's phone by text, which was unusual. There were rooms that were accessed by more traditional keys and keycards.

The price is very competitive and the CP value is still high. The bed is very comfortable. It is acceptable at this price. The seat of the Youth Hostel is also convenient. The sanitary conditions are OK.

Very close to Qingnian Night Market. . Return for the second time. But this time the scent machines in the lobby and elevator were too strong. It smells so good that it makes me feel sick to my stomach! ! This time I checked in on the sixth floor and found that there was a big gap under the door of the room. Door rails should be installed. Otherwise, the soundproofing is very poor and the air conditioner is out.

It was a very convenient location, just a 5-minute walk from Kaohsiung Station. The dining area on the basement floor offers coffee, soft drinks, ice cream, steamed meat buns, and more 24 hours a day, and the location and service are very good value for money. There was always a staff member at the front desk who would greet me, so I had a pleasant stay.

It’s a very tight space for 4 people and the bed squeaks a lot, I can’t do anything without bothering the roommates. Same type where you have to do your own beddings and take it out after you’re checking out. The dorm door closes quickly on its own and it’s hard to prompt both the fence and door open at the same time! the washing and drying machine is amazing though! out of everything :)

Check in at the hotel. The service at the front desk is friendly. I like the room facilities very much. The sound insulation is also very good. The toiletries are very refreshing. Kangfu tea is really delicious. The night shift lady has a great attitude. The only drawback is that the quilt cover is provided. There are some flaws, but the service staff changed quickly and it felt very warm. I will book again next time I come to Tainan.

The location is perfect, you can walk to the main attractions. Also, it's so convenient for public transport (buses and trains). The room was fine, the bathroom had mould and there was a water leak under the sink, they sorted that out leaving a towel on the floor(it wasn't a big leak tho). Didn't have any issues with the noise, there wasn't any during my stay. The staff didn't give me any information about the city or what to do close to the place(I didn't require either but it'd be nice to be offered it). They were quick sorting out my issue with the sink. Pleasant stay, I'd recommend it 100% All the signs are in Mandarin, be aware of that. Google lens can fix that🤓

The hotel's equipment seems to be relatively new, but I wonder if they are in a hurry to accommodate the next group of customers. There is a lot of garbage under the sofas and chairs that have not been cleaned. There are dents and holes in the floor of the first floor. If you don't pay attention, it will really happen. I accidentally fell it. I hope the hotel can be repaired as soon as possible😣. Overall, it is quite comfortable to live in. The public facilities are also very good, but it would be better if the small areas are repaired~

It is very convenient to use line to communicate. Password gates and room doors will be notified on the day of check-in. The living room on the first floor is very comfortable. The kitchen at the back is available for tea, tea bags, oven, and refrigerator. There is an elevator so you don’t have to work hard to carry your luggage👍. Room type with two double beds The space is sufficient and the price is reasonable. There are porridge, steak and seafood restaurants nearby for late night snacks. It is not far from Shennong Street and Shuixiangong Market.

The door and the room door are all electronic locks, very convenient, no key or sensor card, sound insulation is relatively poor, the door on the same floor can be heard, the health is quite clean

The room is very large and clean, next to the breakfast shop is very close, there is Nanfang to go shopping, we have lived for the second time.

The hotel has been reorganized and is very neat and clean. The service staff are friendly and the parking space is easy to find. Breakfast is included with the reservation. The hours are 7:00-11:30, and the latest check-out is 12:00. Just suitable for guests like us who can't get up early, there is an outdoor smoking area on the top floor where you can watch the stars, and there is also a massage chair in the entertainment room! Right next door is Laerfu, which is very convenient.

The location of the hotel is quite easy to find. The feeling when entering the hotel is the same as seeing it, it is clean and bright. The staff at the counter are very friendly, and there is also a Quanlian next to it, which is very convenient! They have prepared parking spaces nearby, so you don’t have to worry about running out of places to park! The room is very clean. There is only a fourth TV that can't watch YouTube. There is a refrigerator. There are plenty of charging places. The bed is moderately soft and hard. We are used to sleeping high, so we need two extra pillows (the equipment originally only had two). The air conditioner is enough. cold! There is mineral water in the refrigerator, and tea bags. In addition to ordinary tea bags, they also provide filtered coffee, which is not bad. The bathroom is a little small, and the supplies are provided in two copies. The sincerity is enough. All bathroom equipment is from the ToTo series. There is also a toilet and a bath area. The only thing to note is that there is a large gap between the bathtub and the tiles outside. Because there is no anti-slip sticker, it is recommended that you stand firm after washing, otherwise it is easy to slip! Breakfast was freshly cooked milkfish porridge. Since we were staying for two nights, they were worried that we would get tired of eating it for two days in a row. They also kindly asked if they needed to prepare other breakfasts for the next day. They also found that we had eaten less. Adjust the amounts of different side dishes and porridge, thank you very much👍🏼

This time I was in a hurry and decided to book this hotel after simply reading the reviews. Because I was not familiar with Tainan, I just wanted to be close to the Dadong Night Market and decided to book it. Fortunately, I didn’t make the wrong choice. Overall, it was very good. Well, the different staff at the front desk were also very kind and courteous. Except for finding long threads of dust floating on the ceiling above the pillow on the bed, everyone else was very satisfied.
