The Carlton Taichung

The best thing about this hotel was the staff. One staff member (Una) was amazing, and helped us to arrange a tour to Gaomei Wetlands with a cheerful driver at a very reasonable price. She always helped us with a smile, and would write destinations down for us in Mandarin so that we could show taxi or bus drivers. There were two larger roads nearby that had multiple buses along them, which made travelling around Taichung quite easy. Otherwise, the immediate area around the hotel was great - a short stroll to shops and restaurants, and a comfortable walk to the Botanical Gardens (which had a cool glass house) and a large science museum. The buffet breakfast (which we had included) was very good, with some vegetarian options. Overall, the hotel was very good value for money. It is not a luxury hotel, but you certainly get good value for the price.

Room was very clean and comfortable. The buffet breakfast spread was simple yet complete, you have things from congee, western, asian to fresh fruits. Coffee, tea, milk, soy milk, fruit juices were served as well. It was awesome considering we were travelling with young children. They enjoyed the breakfast and stay as much as we did. Free flow drinks and black coffee was available at the concierge area throughout the day. Location was convenient. Very near the bus stop and also it's easy to get on and off taxi in front of the hotel.

Good value for the money, clean and bright rooms. Good location.

The location is good, and the room is clean and tidy. Enough space for two big luggages to open at the same time. The room is bright, and serve very good breakfast with lots of variety.

Room was clean and room size sufficient. Breakfast had a nice variety with good selection of greens at the salad bar, which I enjoyed. Within walking distance to the main shopping strip in Taichung, with lots of food options.
