Hotels near Siwei Market, Taitung

Fantastic hostel, with a really friendly team who are great at giving tips on what to do and eat in the area (even if you are vegan like me!). The hostel is clean and the facilities are modern. It’s located very close to the train station for taking the train or bus to nearby attractions. And for getting into Taitung City you can rent a bike for free from the hostel

Worst welcome I ever had to a hotel. Duty manager refused to let me leave my day bag at reception to allow me to collect 2 heavy suitcases from my previous hotel nearby before checking in, ye having verified my reservation. This left a hugely bad taste in my mouth that soured the next three nights at this place. Billed as 4 star but 3 at best. Room cleaning not done thoroughly, gym is tiny with broken equipment and only light weights. Mugs provided in room are so small that they are not suitable for the drip coffee bags they provide. If only they would give a spoon to stir the coffee with! AC in room does not go below 22 degrees centigrade in Auto mode. Staff are all uptight and clearly not enjoying their work - bad working environment evidently, no surprise judging by the duty manager’s attitude. All I got from the receptionist at check-out was a dry “OK”. I will not be returning.

Taitung is a small town. And so this hotel is pretty much in the “center”  Across the street is a convenience store opening 24 hours. Nearby is a cinema. There are some small shops and bars nearby. If you crave a burger - Burger King is a 10-min walk away.  As for the hotel - it’s got a lot of what business travelers need. 24 hour laundry machines and dryer. It’s got a small gym with treadmill, elliptical, indoor bike and a small weight rack with a bench. The television channels are not very international - with all of the news channels only coming from Taiwan.  My room was clean, and there is a separate shower and toilet area - convenient for couples staying together. Bed is decent, clean and I would say that the room can get quite hot if you don’t turn on the AC. At the evenings, I was awaken a few times from the warmth in the room despite having the AC on. (To be fair - it was 32 degrees Celsius outdoors) Breakfast is very plentiful. From cooked Chinese dishes to simple western breakfast choices like eggs, toast and fruits. Salads are always available and the coffee machine is self serve. (I wasn’t able to find a good Long Black anywhere in this town)  From the hotel to the Taitung train station is about 15mins by taxi. Use Line Go to reserve as it is most convenient. Surprisingly, even during 8:00am on a weekday, getting a cab on this App was easy.  Hope this helps if you have to go to Taitung

Chaikuo Waterfront was a wonderful place to stay on Green Island. The hotel has a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere and a beautiful location close to the sea, making it feel like a perfect island escape. It was a lovely base for exploring Green Island while still having a quiet and comfortable place to return to afterward. The surroundings were especially memorable. Being near the waterfront made the stay feel very atmospheric, with fresh sea air, ocean views, and the calm rhythm of island life all around. The place felt clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully arranged, with a simple charm that matched Green Island perfectly. I would definitely recommend Chaikuo Waterfront to travelers who want accommodation that feels intimate, scenic, and connected to the natural beauty of the island. It is a great choice for couples, friends, or anyone looking for a peaceful stay by the sea.

Located right next to the Music Village and the bus station which was super practical. I didn’t know it would be a self check-in, so it was a little hard to find but the process itself was easy. The dorm bathroom setup wasn’t great, especially because the shower makes the whole floor wet, not fun when you’re using the toilet. The sinks are outside the bathroom which is nice when it’s occupied but makes a lot of sound for others in the room. The bed was comfortable enough and the curtains and individual charging area with a light were nice. I found it annoying to go to the centre nearby to pick up the locker key but it’s also where I stored my luggage, which felt quite secure since they put a tag on it. I didn’t realize there wasn’t any elevator, so I had to drag my luggage to the third floor. There’s a water station in the “lobby” area on the first floor. It was very inexpensive for one night!

The most cost-effective hotel in Taitung, with friendly staff, a rich and varied breakfast, and excellent Chinese dinner. The hotel is packed with activities in the afternoon, so the family won't be bored. There's also free afternoon tea and a free golf swing experience. It's really great.

The cat is adorable and enjoys friendly interactions with visitors. It appears that the room lacks soundproofing. Due to ongoing construction in the neighboring building, some noise may be audible. The electric mirror in the bathroom is impressive as it remains warm and prevents water condensation. However, the bathroom fan is a bit noisy, and the hair dryer produces a strong gust of wind. Additionally, the internet password in the room is not easily discernible.

Not far from the hotel is Tiehua Village, where there are stalls and performances at night, which is fun and lively! There are Xiuli and many restaurants nearby, which makes shopping and eating convenient. The room is not big, just right for one night.

Very cheap but definitely of good value. The rooms are spacious, just not that many amenities (but that’s totally ok for the price). The hotel is located next to the railway, but we didn’t have any problem sleeping.

While the facilities are new, there's considerable room for improvement in overall service. Here are a few points for consideration: 1. Before arrival, I received a call asking if I'd be okay changing from a king-bed room to two twin beds, which I agreed to. However, upon checking in, I found the room's window to be unusually small and the room quite dark. When I raised this with the front desk, they claimed I had already confirmed the change. This room clearly didn't match the photos, especially since I had specifically booked a higher-priced room. It only makes sense to switch to a two-twin-bed room if it's of a comparable price and quality. Eventually, they moved me to a quad room with a large window. 2. During check-in, when confirming payment, I was told my credit card had only been pre-authorized and not actually charged yet. However, the Trip.com app clearly showed that payment had already been made. This created a bad impression. If I had allowed the front desk to swipe my card again, I would have been double-charged. There seems to be a significant loophole in their payment management system, which could easily lead to disputes later on and should be addressed immediately. 3. In the bathroom, the shower stall only has a quarter-glass panel separating it from the sink area. After showering, the floor around the sink was completely soaked. A full glass sliding door or a shower curtain is definitely needed to prevent water from splashing all over the bathroom floor during a shower. 4. I needed a late check-out because my event didn't finish until noon, and I was aware of the 200/hour charge. I informed the front desk that morning, but upon returning, I found my key card had been deactivated, and I couldn't access my room. There's clearly a communication breakdown among the internal staff. 5. Upon check-in, breakfast was an additional 100 per person. However, when I went for breakfast, no one asked for my room number, which made me wonder if non-paying guests could also dine there. Including breakfast in the room rate might prevent such misunderstandings, or they should strictly enforce payment confirmation before allowing guests to eat.
