Tianzhong Holidays from NZ$2,638

The location is great and easily walkable to the main attractions and night market. The room is basic, but clean. It checked all the boxes for a great stay in Hualien.

I have stayed at the Tempus many many times since it opened and the Landis which occupied the same property previously. This hotel is getting dated and not well maintained. There was an obvious large water leak on my floor with a musty smell and damaged carpet and their solution was to partially cover the large spill with two outdoor rugs that only partially covered the leak. For 10 days nobody attempted to clean the spill or remediate the musty odors. Cost cutting is obvious. The breakfast buffet is subpar compared to other hotels nearby. They don't offer hand soap in the rooms anymore - they just told me to go in the shower and get some from in there.. what??! We had to cut our stay short by 2 days due to the approach of Super Typhoon Champi (the worldwide largest storm of 2026 - which shut down the whole island literally, and cancelled hundreds of flights including ours) When speaking with the hotel about why we were shortening our stay the smug girl behind the desk told us that we needed to wait for the official government announcement for them to refund the days we were leaving. Ridiculous given the obvious situation. I won't stay here again.

I like the location near the train station and breakfast

The hotel was very nice and clean and very modern feeling. It was a bit far away and remote from the city center of Taichung, so there isn’t a whole lot to do around the hotel. The staff at the hotel were very nice and accommodating in terms of holding our luggage, but unfortunately the night I was there, there wifi didn’t work and the TV also didn’t have any channels working. I did address it with the staff, but unfortunately they were not able to fix it for that day.
