Tainan City hotels & places to stay

I am a loyal SPG member, but due to the fact that there is no SPG hotels in Tainan, I chose Silks Place Tainan for my stay. And I am thoroughly impressed. From the front desk to the executive lounge check-in, staff attitude and thoughtfulness, room decor, comfort and cleanliness...all these were impeccable and may even outshine certain SPG hotels I have stayed in Taipei. The only qualm is that room service is only up to 10pm, and though the food is very good (beef noodles..yum!), the selection is very limited. Would be good to extend or have have some simple late night room service menu, and a wider selection will be nice. Overall, I think it is a very professional hotel!

Brand new hotel in the heart of Tainan. Just a 10 minute walk from the train station. Superior room was a nice size, full size bathroom and good wifi. Made to order breakfast with both Asian and Western options. Helpful staff who spoke good English and provided good tips. Lots of little boutiques and eating options in the neighborhood behind the hotel and further to the center of the city. I would stay here again when in Tainan.

The hotel facility was very new and clean and I was able to have a good stay. At first when I was heading for the hotel the building was not distinguishable as it seemed just like an ordinary shop. But after checking in, I noticed it was very convenient for exploring major sites such as Chihkan Low, the Temple of Matsu, and the Literature Museum. And interestingly, there was another small but beautiful temple just 1 block next to the hotel. Its location is one of the best points to be recommended, though the pedestrian environment does have a room to be improved in Tainan city. Another good thing was about meal. After arriving, the hotel served all-you-can-eat sweets and drinks at the very clean dining place. Moreover, visitors were able to have night snacks from 9:00 p.m. The food was real as it could be called as dinner. Some people might look forward to eating out at night market but this free dinner service can be helpful if he is not confident to find a good restaurant/food stand. And the room facility was all clean and I enjoyed the stay. Also the hotel staffs are young and neat. They can communicate in both English and Chinese so there was no problem.

What a pleasant surprise for my first time stay at The Place in Tainan! I spent total 10 nights at that hotel visiting friends and family and got to enjoy the convenient location of the hotel and it’s cleanness thoroughly. One thing to point out is that I do have a family vehicle to use during my extended stay so I’m unaware of the public transportation in the surrounding area. The hotel is attached to a good size mall with food and shops During my stay, the room was always clean and well stocked with all toiletries. Free bottles of water is a plus. Daily breakfast buffet was okay and nothing to write home about. The staff members were always courteous and helpful. The only hiccup was the lack of maintenance of the gym facility; however, they responded to my concern in a timely manner and handled the situation right away. Overall, it was a great experience. I’ll definitely recommend for travelers seeking convenience, cleanness, and great service to stay at The Place in Tainan.

We stayed at UIJ for a night on our trip to Tainan. The hotel is in the centre of the city and is very close to many attractions (and food!). UIJ only just started this March but is already very well run. The room was beautifully decorated. We have a record player in our room and countless vinyl records to choose from at the reception. Still and sparkling water plus free re-fill! I thought it was a nice touch. All the toiletries were of the highest quality. Breakfast was standard, but I thought it was quite nice to have local food as an option. The greatest part of this hotel has to be its staff! All of them were being extremely friendly and helpful. The service was greater than many 5 star hotels! Very well done! An extremely impressive hotel. Will definitely stay there again next year when we do our annual visit to Tainan!

Very nice hotel for a weekend stay. The place appeared to have been recently renovated and is very clean and comfortable. The location is not so convenient, unfortunately. It takes 15 minutes to walk to Tainan TRA Station or to Tainan Park. Longer to the main points of interest in the centre. However the hotel provides bikes free of charge. The staff is polite and incredibly helpful. For breakfast you choose between their meal sets (mainly western type brunch dishes) but they can accommodate dietary restrictions, just make sure to talk to the front desk the night before. Overall we had a pleasant stay and would recommend Nan Fun House.

It's a hotel with Cartoon Network's cartoons as a theme. Although the theme dint reflects much inside the room, you can find the characters at the hotel entrance, reception, OUTDOOR playground, and in their cafe as well! The room is comfortable and spacious (King Comfort Room), and we are fortunate to have a room with a view of Tainan City. The only flaw that they have is that the room we stayed had their toilet floor not properly slanted to have the water drain off to the drain, as most of the time the water will flow out to the room if we wet the floor. However, my overall stay felt great and love its location! The hotel is located directly beside Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, Watson, and most importantly 2 streets away with local delicacies; Guohua street & Bao'an street. As well as it's neighbour, Landis Tayih Hotel, is one of the drop-off points for H31, shuttle bus from THSR Tainan Station. Super convenient!

It was very centrally located, directly opposite the train station at the roundabout, and bus stops right outside the hotel leading to major attractions within Tainan city. The availability of barrier free access to cross the street from the train station makes reaching and leaving the hotel with large luggages easy and stress free. Daily breakfast was a joy to have with the wide variety and wholesome spread. Our room was spacious and clean. Very comfortable stay.

Everything was so great there. The location's very good, the room was very clean, quiet with comfortable beds, the staff were super nice, kind, and helpful, the complimentary buffet breakfast was very decent and delicious, and the breakfast area was open 24-7 for guests chatting or resting temporarily with coffee, tea, and milk tea self-served. It was our family's first time touring the city of Tainan, and we were all very sure that City Place has contributed significantly to our great joy during this trip. We also think the Tainan City government should thank City Place for our happiness :-). Definitely recommend it!!!

I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. The room was quite spacious, modern, and comfy. I love the bluetooth mirror speaker, it is really a nice addition. Will definitely stay here if I come back to Tainan, and try their Beer Spa, it sounds wonderful! But the best thing about Beer Hotel is the staff members. They were really helpful, attentive, and caring. Every time they called a taxi for me, they went out to explain to the driver about where I wanted to go since I don't speak Mandarin. I really enjoyed staying there.

The hotel is a little hard to find down a small street, but our taxi had no problem getting there. Once found, it is easy to get walk to the main street and other nearby streets which are full of restaurants and other businesses. The hotel seems new. We really enjoyed the breakfast room, with a choice of three breakfasts -- chinese, american, and (we didn't try) vegetarian, plus some choice of bread/toast, fruit and fruit juice, and of course coffee. The room was very nice with a big bed and everything worked well. The window opens, and has screens. The hotel is a rather long but very feasible walking distance to many of the temples in Tainan, as well as to shopping and the train station. If not, taxis in Tainan are fairly cheap (as elsewhere in Taiwan), and the extremely helpful front desk staff was always happy to call them for us -- average wait for a taxi was 4 minutes, and the staff gave the taxi driver our destination so there was no confusion.

Stayed at the female dorm for two nights. - Good Location: 3-min walk to Tainan train station and to a street full of local foodies. - The hostel is very new and clean. Stylishly furnished common area and kitchen. Dorm room was big, with table and chair inside the dorm room. There were spaces to put things beside each dorm bed. Lockers are huge enough to put everything including the big backpack and suitcase in too. Wifi was fast and air con was adequate. The shared bathroom was clean and shampoo, soap and conditioner were provided. - Staff was helpful and kind. I had my room changed because the locker was not functioning. Even though breakfast was not included, there were a lot of budget options around the area or you can cook yourself in the kitchen. Considering everything and the low price, it's the best hostel I stayed at in Taiwan.

Hotel lobby is nicely decorated. Has a nice dining area for customers to eat their meals with foc coffee, tea and water available. Booked a quad room. Very clean spacious room, firm bed and sufficient toiletries are given. The staffs are very friendly and helpful, guided us on where to get nice food and get cab. There are 2 markets near hotel, Yong He market & Ya Mu Liao market. Personally I prefer Ya Mu Liao market as it is more localised. However, there are more eateries on the way to Yong He market. Do visit both if you have time. Also worth noting that all cabs in Tainan should run on meter and relatively cheap (usually cost abt NT100-120 for short ride & NT160-190 for >20 mins ride based on my experience). Minority of the cab drivers may attempted to charge higher without switching on the meter, esp from Tainan railway station (we were charged NT150 for a 5 mins ride). Do ask the driver if the trip runs on meter before boarding.

When I entered the hotel, the staff were all smiles and super friendly. They were well prepared and the check in process was a breeze. The room was a little small but for the price, it's alright. The room has a very nice smell when I entered and there was no moist or smoke smell. Thumbs up! The breakfast did not suit my palette so I'd rather have breakfast outside. Well, Tainan has plenty of good food everywhere!

We were very impressed by the professionalism and kindness of the staff in our regards. We must say that honestly, this attitude is not easy to find where we live in Europe. Our English being rather average, they made so many efforts to help and understand our numerous questions... Always sincere and smily !!! We will definitely go back to the Fu Ward Hotel Tainan during our next visit to this city. Fu Ward Hotel Tainan is the mirror of Tainan city : simply beautiful

Although is not a 5 stars hotel, the location is excellent. It is next to a big shopping mall and Tayih Landis is just beside it. Compared to Tayih Landis which cost twice of San Juan, i think San Juan would be the obvious choice if you are not fussy with the facilities. The hotel is clean, staff is friendly, room size quite decent Breakfast is normal. I will choose to stay here again if i ever come back to Tainan.

Overall my review for this hotel is okay, the room is clean, the bed is okay, location is nearby with convenience stores, bus stops, restaurants and night markets. We arrived in this hotel very early, around 9am, but we cannot check in until 3pm. It was a tiring day for us and we havent slept properly for 24 hours. So, we felt a little bit disappointed. Rather than walk, we were thinking to ride the bike to visit some areas, and we surprised to hear the rent for the bike. How to get here: from THSR station, look for the free shuttle bus stop, and drop off in Tainan city hall and take taxi from there to the hotel. the price is around 85-100 NT. the taxi fare from THSR station to the hotel is 500NT.

We chose the Tai Dao hotel both for its location, just opposite the Tainan train station, and its very reasonable price! We were travelling from Chiayi to Tainan by train, then onwards to Kaohsiung also by train, so the location was ideal. Exiting the train station, you are confronted with a very large and very busy roundabout - this serves in part as Tainan’s bus terminal. Looking across the road you’ll see the building in which the Tai Dao hotel is located, on the right side of the roundabout when facing it from the train station. There are two underpasses from the train station, those with heavy luggage should take the one on the left side of the roundabout as this one has lifts, up and down - then cross two intersections (controlled by lights) to get to the tall curved building that houses the Tai Dao hotel (plus a couple of food outlets, a 7Eleven, another hotel, and more). The Tai Dao hotel reception is on the ground floor to the right side of the building when facing the building. The underpass on the right side of the roundabout will bring you out closer to the hotel, but the steps are quite steep! With its location, you have easy access to trains and buses in Tainan, plus plenty of taxis readily available. The bus that takes you to the Flower Night Market (Tainan’s largest) stops right outside the hotel. There are plenty of restaurants in the streets around the hotel, and you can walk to many of the sights for which Tainan is renowned (we walked to the Confucius Temple, to the Chihkan Tower, and more). Check in was quick and easy. We were advised that each day we would need to present at reception to collect our breakfast vouchers for the following day. Breakfast vouchers included two coffee/tea vouchers plus two TWD60 coupons for use at the 7Eleven. We found the TWD60 was more than enough for a decent breakfast to start the day. We could get up to four sandwiches, or two hot meals (pre-packaged, heated up when purchased), or a number of buns/cakes - we certainly didn’t go hungry. The included coffee was the equivalent of a large coffee by Perth (Australia) standards. To get to the rooms you can either take the lift in the hotel’s lobby to the third floor, then switch to the building’s main lifts (unless of course you’re staying on the 3rd floor, we were on level 12 or 13), or walk around the front of the building, enter the building’s main lobby, and take the building’s own lifts directly to your floor. Our room was quite spacious, with two firm twin beds. There was a bench seat by the window that served as both a handy place to pop our cases, or a spot to city watch from on high. The room included efficient airconditioning, a mini fridge, and TV. The walls of the rooms are curved, which takes a little getting used, in that your beds are neatly pushed against the wall, but are not straight. The room was very clean, even when we moved one of the beds to get some distance (yes, we both snore), the floor under the beds was as clean as the rest of the floor! As an aside, with so very many rooms, we found that unless you specifically made note to reception that you wanted your room cleaned / made up, it didn’t happen every day. We passed the cleaning ladies in the corridors daily, while they didn’t speak a bit of English, they were very friendly and smiley (one even wanted a selfie with us)! On one day that our room wasn’t made up, we requested new towels, a bit difficult with no shared language, but we got there in the end and they were more than happy to oblige. If travelling with kids, do watch out for channels 14-17 as these are adult channels (we are a mother and daughter travelling together, it was an uncomfortable moment as I was flicking through channels, very quickly realising when channel 14 came on that this was not something I should be watching with my Mum, and even worse when I quickly changed channel and found the same genre on the next three channels - much relief was felt once I got back to “regul

First and foremost I must thank the friendly counter staff who helped me with all my travel queries during my 5-day stay with this hotel. Location is perfect for walking around the heritage sites in Tainan city. My room was quiet and was facing a beautiful traditional courtyard clan house. Also as I left a T-shirt in the hotel, the hotel immediately mailed it back to Singapore without charging a single cent although I insisted. This is a very homely hotel and I am sure you will find this suitable for a solo or family vacation stay.
