Tainan | I love how fragrant the hotel smells as soon as I open the box 😊

The hotel has a great location, surrounded by various restaurants, department stores, art galleries, museums, and the Confucius Temple. If you're not in a rush, you can stroll around Tainan city at a leisurely pace (although walking through Tainan's arcades is almost like a hurdle race! (laughs)), but walking offers a more relaxed Tainan experience.

The hotel has a private parking garage in the basement. There aren't many spaces, and the parking area is a bit hot and dark. Motorcycles can also be parked there. If the basement parking is full, the hotel says they will guide you to the parking spaces on the side of the hotel, and there are usually spaces available.

I booked the accommodation through a booking website. After successfully booking in the morning, I received an email from the hotel in the evening informing me that a deposit of NT$3,000 was required. This could be paid by credit card authorization or cash. When checking in, a cash deposit is used. The front desk staff will provide a receipt, which you hand to them at check-out. Afterwards, wait for housekeeping to check your room to confirm nothing is missing (?!), and your deposit will be refunded on the spot.

The lobby on the first floor has a high ceiling and a stylish design. There's a café where you can grab a coffee, relax, or browse the bookshelves. The hotel's exterior is also very stylish, making it beautiful for photos both day and night. Across from the hotel is the Yu-Ai Market, which offers breakfast, coffee, and a traditional market in the morning, and is also a great place for dinner or late-night snacks.


This time, I booked the accommodation... My room was upgraded upon check-in, and it was quite spacious. The room smelled lovely as soon as I opened the door, which I really appreciated. The room was very clean, and there were bottles of mineral water and two bottles of sparkling mineral water in the refrigerator. You can ask the front desk to refill them when you run out.

The bed was very comfortable, and the pillows weren't too flat, which was also very pleasant. During my consecutive stay, the room was thoroughly cleaned daily, and they also replenished the water supply. Due to the hotel's environment, it was very quiet at night, and the other guests on the floor were also very quiet. The hand soap, shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner provided in the bathroom were all Aesop. I found the hand soap, shower gel, and conditioner quite good, but I personally didn't like the shampoo.
