Central District Hotels, Taichung

"Trendy hotel set in a heritage building. You would think that it is dated but it was tastefully done. Very busy reception but they are very very accommodating, so well done to them. "

"Reception staff very helpful and friendly. Room kept very clean."

"Reasonably clean room but no bottled water though."

"Good service and the room was clean. "

"Fantastic hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. It’s like staying in a museum, with a slide and a relaxation area. Breakfast is not a buffet of dry and boring items, it’s a choice of hot meal, soup and drink. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. "

"This is easily the most beautiful hotel that I have personally stayed in in Taiwan. The art deco aesthetic is well-conceived and executed throughout the property. I am deeply impressed by its beauty, and staying here is an experience. Our room was also quite large, larger than some of the other two-bed rooms I saw during our stay. Beautifully appointed and very comfortable. We stayed in room 802, and would request this room again if we were to stay there. The issue is, once you've experienced actual 5 star service, service that is very close but not quite there sticks out like a sore thumb. The service was very good, but overly stiff. I was drinking a glass of water in the lobby from the provided glasses and dispenser. I was stopped on the way to the elevator because you're not allowed to bring the glass of water from the lobby to the room... It was a strange, uncomfortable moment that could've been easily avoided. There were a couple of other small moments like this that were just... a little bewildering? Where other 5 star hotels would've found a solution to these issues (or had them prepared), it seems like the staff were trained to be rules-focused, rather than comfort-focused. It's absolutely a training problem. The other issue is that, well, it's Taiwan. A 15 minute walk with luggage from the closest train station is an adventure, and the immediate neighborhood is a bit boring. Overall, gorgeous, great hotel. A little awkward service and location."

"Staff (reception, concierge, housekeeping) were very pleasant, attentive and professional. Breathtaking views from the room and gym. Super impressed with the well-equipped gym. Only qualm is that the toilets for gym needs to be accessed via key/ sensor. Have to keep going to the gym staff for the access key. Otherwise, quite the perfect stay. "

"Good location very close Taichung station only 5mins walk. Hotel are clean and staff are very nice. "

"교통이용하기에 좋았고 친절한 스텝과 체크인 전과 체크인 후 에도 가방을 맡길수있어서 아주 좋았어요! 방도 쾌적했고 일회용품 제공이 안되는걸 미리 알고가서 불편함은 없었어요. 청소도 메이크업 부탁하면 해주시고 그 외에는 방문 앞에 생수랑 쓰레기봉투 두고 가주셔서 좋았습니다"
