A comfortable place with good service. Not for travellers looking for something with more frills though.
Pros: centrally located, with most major conveniences within 5â10min walking distance; provides wifi, offers coin-operated washing machines and dryers for guests, and a buffet breakfast (youth lodger essentials); clean rooms with comfortably large beds; basic toiletries and hairdryer provided; water coolers available on every floor; walking distance from the major bus/train interchange.
Cons: the breakfast buffet options can be a bit of a hit or miss in terms of taste (probably depends someone largely on how early/late your turn up for breakfast), and is a definite no-no for anyone hoping to find continental breakfast optionsâthough the breakfast shortcomings are not something I'd worry too much about because there are countless alternative food options available in the vicinity up for consideration if you're not in a hurry; standard rooms do not include wardrobes (what you have is a bit more like 4â5 coat hanging knobs and a...
   Read moreWe booked a quad family room as we have 2 adults and 2 children. We have a good and comfortable stay in Kiwi Express Hotel Taichung Branch 1. Staff is friendly and helpful.||||Great location. Less than 5 mins walk from Taichung main station and bus station. Many eateries nearby.||||Room is big, new and very clean. It has windows. There are hot and cold water dispenser beside the lift at every floor. Beds are comfortable and very quiet to sleep at night. No noisy neighbours. Strong wif. Great breakfast (mainly chinese dishes - buffet style). Considered quite a wide spread as the room rate is quite low. We find them delicious.||||Friendly and helpful receptionists. They allow us to leave our 2 big luggage with them for one night after checking out so I could just carry a small overnight bag to Cingjing.||||With the price we pay, we should not expect much. But end up I find it excellent! It really excceeds our expectation. Highly...
   Read moreThis place is conveniently located near Taichung Station, Miyahara Fermosa, and UBike station. It wasn't too easy to find because you might accidentally pass by it, but its bright green helped a lot. The interior is clean, the staff was nice and helpful, and has mostly everything you'll need. ||||The room was nice, well equipped with a good fridge, TV with lots of channels, and plenty of amenities. The provide shampoo and body wash from a dispenser by the shower, but there was no conditioner. Unfortunately, the blanket and towels were not too clean, and you can kinda tell because the linen is white. The WIFI is no good. Open with no password, so it's very weak or you won't get any signal at all.||||Breakfast was great! Other hostels will only provide simple toast, but this place had a mini buffet with rice, toast, potato, and a coffee machine!!! The dining area is small, and you have to put your own dishes...
