Hotels near National Central University, Taoyuan

I rarely leave bad reviews, but this five-star hotel was truly a disappointment. Pros: * The location is convenient, perfect for catching an early flight. * The bed was very comfortable; I slept well. Cons: 1. The toilet design is flawed. The toilet isn't centered, leaving very little space on the left side. If you're a bit heavier, your leg would touch the wall. To make matters worse, the toilet paper holder is installed right there, so you're constantly bumping your arm. You have to be extra careful when using the toilet. 2. What's most unacceptable is the shower head design. There's no high shower head holder in the entire bathroom; the shower head can only be placed at the low level of the bathtub. You have to hold it the entire time you shower, which makes even washing your hair incredibly inconvenient. This design is truly baffling. 3. Even worse, the bathtub edge is exceptionally high. Every time you shower, you have to step over it to get in and out, which is very unfriendly for the elderly or those with mobility issues, and also poses a safety hazard. 4. The standing area in the bathtub is very narrow, and it feels like you're standing on a slope, which is quite unsafe. 5. The room's telephone was broken; it could only receive calls, not make them. As a result, we had to go to the front desk to arrange a wake-up call service.

This hotel is rated five-star, but the rooms feel more like a four-star experience. Comfortable, but lacking a certain luxury. The price would be fair if it were positioned as a four-star hotel. I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast; it offered a good variety and tasted delicious, comparable to the Landis Hotel I stayed at the day before. It had more options but no smoked salmon. Pros: Good for an overnight stay near the airport, with a 25-minute bus ride to the terminal. The breakfast was excellent. The bed was reasonably comfortable, though the glossy duvet cover and sheets felt a bit low-end. Cons: The room facilities are quite old, probably a 15-year-old renovation. There are no power outlets by the bedside, so you have to use the hotel's slow charging device. Light leaks through the top of the curtains because the tracks aren't overlapped. The bathroom fan doesn't have an off button, but luckily, closing the door mostly blocks the sound. I was in a hurry checking in and out, so I didn't take any photos of the hotel. The picture is of a small fish tank on the hotel restaurant table, which was a nice little surprise.

The location is a bit far from Dayuan station, especially at late night. There are two apartments in the same address, and the picture of the booking shows the wrong address so that I couldn't check in with the QR code. Luckily, the host picked up the phone and guided me to the correct apartment. I stayed only for less than 3 hours with a nap and shower, so nothing really matter to me.

I stayed here with my two children after a red-eye flight. To my surprise, they even prepared wine for us, and the kids loved their cute amenities! It was truly a wonderful stay. The swimming pool also has a spa, which was perfect for both adults and children to enjoy together. It was the best!

Safe and close to shopping areas, also conveniently located near the train station.

My stay at the Central Hotel was, in a nutshell, 'convenient and practical, but not luxurious.' The hotel's biggest draws are its location and price, making it ideal for short overnight stays or independent travelers. The Central Hotel is situated in the heart of the city, within walking distance of major shopping areas and food streets. For backpackers and independent travelers, the location truly can't be beaten. With metro and train stations nearby, getting around to night markets or attractions is incredibly easy. The room was generally clean, though of a medium size with a rather simple decor. The bedding and basic furniture were functional but lacked any sense of luxury. If you're looking for high-end accommodation or spacious, lavish rooms, this might feel a bit too ordinary. Overall, the room's cleanliness was decent, but some details showed signs of age, such as marks on certain walls, furniture edges, or bathroom fixtures. In general, it felt clean but definitely not newly renovated. It also came with two condoms.

This hotel has 4 buildings, the room is big and the amenities are good. Its gym and swimming pool and breakfast area can accommodate a big tour group.

Service: The front desk staff were all very friendly and welcoming! Ambiance: Pretty good, the facilities are quite modern, and there's even a smart toilet. Location: About a 20-minute walk from Taoyuan Station. It's convenient to take a taxi to the airport. There are supermarkets and small restaurants nearby, making it very easy to buy food and daily necessities.

The staff were really lovely and I'm sure that had I have spoken Chinese, the things I'm about to say would've been different as I would've been able to explain them over the phone and get them rectified.  CONS: I didn't get there until almost 1 am due to a flight delay and then missing the last MTR, so by the time I did get there all I wanted was a hot bath and a quiet night's sleep. Firstly, the room had definitely had smokers in it previously. They may have done a treatment but it was still noticeable. Secondly, there was 'hair' in the bathtub from a previous occupant. So I definitely didn't use it. Thirdly, I got almost no sleep – even though the bed was really comfortable – because the smoke alarm in the room needed its battery replaced and spent all night making that very loud high-pitched sound that you cannot ignore! Now again, had I've been able to pick up the phone and ask them to come and sort it, it could have been a different story, but... PROS: the room was a great size, and the bathroom had both a spa bath and a walk-in shower. It also was very large and is well set up for customers to drive their vehicle into the ground floor of the unit then go up the stairs to the first floor where the actual room is. The staff were very nice and welcoming even though I arrived so late and even gave me some instant noodle cups. I also got a voucher for breakfast, but didn't end up getting to use it as I was too tired to get out of bed and go there before it finished.  I may not be the target clientele for this establishment, and while this particular stay had farcical elements, now that I know what it's like and how it works, I probably would stay there again simply due to how nice the staff were. It's not their fault that I don't speak Chinese.
