Reviews of OLAH Poshtel - Taichung Station 4 stars

Clean, friendly staff

Room little bit hot

Great vibe. Fun and funky. A hotel that thinks different, especially the quadruple room which my young kids loved. Everything was very well put together. The common dining area at Basement 2 in particular was really nice – especially the freeflow cup noodles for supper.

The translucent toilet doors were irritating - many like to leave hotel toilets on throughout, but this meant lighting up the whole room. There probably could have been more table or shelf space in the bedroom. Not many surfaces to put things on. Finally, breakfast options were basic.

Free breakfast included and free popcorn

Very comfortable, well arranged, everything we needed and very reasonably priced. Short walk from main train station.

Clean big rooms with good location

The guy in the breakfast scream at us when we didn't understand Chinese. Very rude and unprofessional. Bad breakfast.

Locations is perfect

The breakfast always the same. Needs fresh yogurts

The location, clean, bed really comfortable . Good breakfast and free instant noodles at night too

N/A

The location is lovely. There were good coffee places around the hood. It is not too crowded yet still very accessible from the main area. The room is very spacious and super comfortable bed.

Wished the bedroom slippers were provided

This hotel would be great for 1 or 2 nights if you are traveling light and not spending any time in the hotel. We booked for 8 days so we could visit our daughter who is living and working in Taichung. We checked out after night one. There were things we liked. The king bed was very comfortable, the AC worked great, fridge worked great, the tv was large, the room was very clean, the front desk employees were very kind and spoke decent English and the basement had a kitchen with included self serve ramen and beverages. Unfortunately, there was no where to open our luggage except the bed. The closet only had room to hang a few items and there were no drawers to put items in. The biggest issue was noise. We could hear the whole conversation of the people in the room next to us. There was a toddler running up and down the hall ringing the doorbells and a baby screaming into the wee hours. The volume on the tv was so low we couldn’t hear it (with how thin the walls were, understandable!). There was a window but it looked at a brick wall a foot away. We didn’t pay for a view so understandable but at that point all we could do was laugh about our situation and get through the night.

The location is close to the main station, so it's fairly easy to get around. Bed space was spacious and felt private. It felt like you have your own room! Bathroom area was clean, shower has wet and dry area. Not only they included breakfast with the stay, they also have noodle time every night.

The only downside is they don't have elevator for the dorm room so it was a bit hard with luggage. I also found that the door wouldn't close all the way unless you close it properly. People sometimes didn't notice this, and it was a bit concern with security.

water leak from shower glass wall to the bathroom one step stair caused falling hazard at dark bunk bed bedding is dirty some close by streets has homeless and doesn’t look safe. many restaurants closed at 7pm and limited choice of restaurants for dinner.

The bed and the location are good

The wall around the TV looked like it had not been painted for years while hosting regular black crayon drawing competitions. The windows had watermarks or similar on them and the seals had some blackening, maybe mold. The curtains had white stuff on them and the shower room had a little bit of yellow calcium on some of the seals. The room smelled excessively like perfume when we entered it. Not enough to be an issue while in the room for a while, but not so comforting when initially entering. When we alerted the staff about these things, we were told it was an old building, which does not excuse all these things in a four star hotel with a private double room. The breakfast was maybe okay for a cheap hostel, but lacked cereal, fresh milk and general choice and quality.

The hotel is centrally located, with plenty of good restaurants nearby. The room was well-equipped and spacious enough for two. Breakfast was decent, and they also offer free noodles during a certain timeframe.

Comfortable and clean room. Helpful staff. Good location.

Breakfast was ok.

Free popcorn. Free breakfast and supper
