I loved our family room with the loft; very clean and cozy and we had our own balcony with a beautiful view of the tea plantation. The hot pot restaurant was amazing with delicious fresh veggies and was a lovely way to end the day after hiking in the misty forest. The view of sunset from the hot pot restaurant was absolutely stunning! My only reservation would be for elderly travelers as there are stairs and some steep pathways- they would need some assistance with luggage and walking. Breakfast was delicious! I’m so grateful we stayed here. Thank you!

It 9s a beautiful property, great views and nice rooms but the service is absolutely terrible. Actually there is no service at all. Anything you ask for is a NO. Nobody speaks English so very difficult to get information. More important if you have difficulty with movement , climbing etc please don’t go here. The steps re very steep, hard to maneuver and very uneven. All in all if wasn’t for the views I would have given them a terrible review.

Stay one night in the mountain house

There are lots of steps to climb, even get to the main office to check in. I had to take my case and bags with me to walk along all stairs ( no elevator), this would be hard for seniors and people with disabilities. Plus, it is hard to find the place, we missed the way, then backed to find the tiny road to turn in…

The selling point of this place is its location from where you can walk 15 minutes up a small hill to see Alishan sunrise. This advantage may be the disadvantage the same time, because for these tourists who come to Alishan first time, transportation between the Alishan park entrance (the transportation hub) and the hotel is a little bit confusing. This hotel is half hour bus-driving from the entrance and you must pre-book the hotel shuttle to pick you up at the bus station. But overall my experience there was good and the lady boss was very nice and helpful. The facility and amenity are good.

The property is inside a small village. It is equipped better than most of hotels that I had experienced, such as heated toilet seat. There is 30-40 minute walking distance from bus stop, the owner drives a Mercedes to pickup guests. Room is very clean, bed is large and comfortable. Breakfast is free. Dinner is Japanese style hot pot only.

Clean and Great View

The biggest downside of the hotel is the many flights of stairs to get down and up to your room. A plus is that there is free parking provided. We first had to drag our heavy suitcases down the outside set of stairs from the car park then all the way up to the room. There are no elevates inside the hotel but there is a luggage service however that is only offered at 10 am. The workers there do not speak English making it hard to communicate with the first set of workers that greeted us. However, the front desk used a phone translator making it easy to deliver a message to us. It was a fairly clean room but if you look closely at the corners of the bathroom, it looks like the seals are older and the curtains have some stains. Overall, it's a lovely view that overlooks their tea farm and the beautiful alishan mountain range.

Beautiful location, friendly staff. Great views and lovely birds singing. The walls are very thin, we could hear the water running when the neighbors showered or bathed and used their jacuzzi tub - it was very noisy. Our shower/tub could use a curtain as the water sprayed all over the bathroom and the floor got super wet. The breakfast choices were extensive (if you are Chinese) we basically had some toast and peanut butter and jelly. Lots of steep stairs to climb up and down to the parking area, the hotel used a small car to transport our bags down to the bedroom.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel that caters mostly to local tour groups. Our room on the top level of Building C (#321) was clean and well maintained, with an amazing view of the valley below. The staff was friendly and helpful but spoke limited English. The hotel offers complimentary Taiwanese style breakfast and a low cost hotpot dinner. The property is located along the Fushan Trail, with a sunrise observation platform within 20 minute walk from the hotel. This is not the popular Zhushan sunrise observation platform in the Alishan National Forest Recreation Area, but the view is still nice and is less crowded. The Alishan National Forest Recreation Area is a 40-min drive from the hotel so one needs a car (or be part of a tour group) to visit the main attraction. The hotel is built on a steep slope so it will be challenging for the elderly who cannot handle lots of steps (no elevator on site). The hotel restaurant serves the same breakfast and hotpot dinner everyday, so one needs to drive 15 mins or so to the nearby town for restaurants with more choices. One quirky policy of the hotel is that they do not provide hot water between 11 am and 4 pm (between check out time and check in time), which is not convenient for those who stay at the hotel for more than one day. To accommodate those who do not read Chinese, the hotel should have English signage to direct the drivers to the property. Providing in-room safe will also be very helpful to international travelers.

B&B nestled in the hill country 30 minutes from Alishan National Park/visitor area. We were upgraded to a room with a view and two King’s beds. The staffs are very courteous, helpful, and engaging, make the guests feel at home. The facility is well maintained. No pest intrusion into the cabin. A 20 min walk/hike to see Alishan sunrise.(level is moderate)
