Cherng Yuan Hotel

Location was great in Yi Dao Shao wharf and the rooms with a view are huge and beautiful. The family who owns it is very friendly. The hotel is very clean and there is a great view of the lake from the breakfast room and terrace.

The breakfast could be a bit more varied.

From our first day up until the day of our check out, we felt well taken care of and well accomodated. The staff are very nice and willing to make a way to understand even if there is languange barrier. The room we have stayed in is very cozy and spacious. We checked in for a quadriple room with 2 king size bed with the view of the nigh market and the lake. They also have complete toiletries and will give you a daily refills. In taiwan, i guess its very common that they offer service water which you can get anytime, either hot, warm, or cold which I find very generous since you wont need to buy water everytime.

They dont have airconditioning. It was unclear if they tend to turn off the AC system during cold seasons only. They do encourage the guest to make use of natural ventilation. Which I think is okay. But there was a time that we were not that comfortable with our current room temp. I hope they do have other alternative source for the guest.

We booked a Quad room (with lake view) at this minsu located at Ita Thao pier on a weekday evening. Conveniently located on the right once one exits from boat at Ita Thao pier. Main walking street is just steps away. Room was spacious and we added a single bed at additional cost for 3 adults and 3 kids. The host was friendly and showed us how to use the facilities in the room. Breakfast spread was decent and there were some nice cheesecakes and hot milk tea which was something unique about the breakfast compared to other minsu/hotels we put up at.

Toilet e.g. bath tub with jacuzzi was a little dated but overall cleanliness was good.

Location was fabulous, night street market right outside. You can eat genuine Taiwanese street vendor food. Close to catching ferry as well. Staff is extremely friendly. Laundromat directly across the street.
