Reviews of Grandma Yu's B&B

Great service, affordable room

Grandma was nice, room was big, bed was decent, toilet and shower worked well, nice homely feeling. Location is not bad, slightly more isolated than some other hostels but a short walk away from the lake.

Room not soundproof, room felt quite humid, aircon didn't seem to work well (thankfully there was a standing fan). I asked if I could store my luggage if I checked out early and the owner told me to leave it in the living room, which wasn't a very reassuring spot. In hindsight, I could have asked if she could keep it in a more secure place. (You need your key to enter both the 'hotel' and enter your room.) When I came back to get my luggage, the owner wasn't there but thankfully her granddaughter(?) appeared after I rang the doorbell a few times -- I'm not sure if they have a schedule to make sure someone is available 100% of the time.

Great location and warm and helpful staff. Room was very big with a large balcony & also had a big comfortable bed.

It’s right on the street but fortunately it wasn’t noisy.

Friendly owner. Very spacious room and very clean. I would recommend asking for a room at the back of the building though, since ours was located at the front and we were woken up by the garbage truck every morning. But it was still a great stay!

Breakfast is at another location, a five minute walk away, that only does take out. It’s fine but good to know beforehand.

Stayed for 2 nights and everything was as described, can communicate with Grandma using Google Translate. Location close to bus stop and pier, breakfast received using coupon at nearby shop/cafe, 1 toast or omelette/pancake + drink. We were satisfied with our stay overall, good value to quality ratio.

The neighbors were a little noisy since they had kids, but overall it did not bother us too much, that is to be expected anywhere.

Adorable room. Comfy bed. Very clean. They provided a bottle of water daily and free breakfast. Great shower. Convenient location near the bus stop.

No elevator so make sure you can lift your luggage up 1-2 flights of stairs.

It was very clean and comfortable and the owner was really nice and accommodating. Breakfast options were ok.

Breakfast was very basic

I was surprised at how tastefully the room was decorated given its location. Grandma Yu is very personable and helpful with local recommendation. She gave us a coupon for about 35% discount with the boat tour. It also provides 35% discount for bike rental but we decided to use the "round the lake" bus instead. There were bottle waters and coffee provided in the room. The breakfast is about 10-minute walk from the hotel and it is takeout only. Overall, we really like this facility and highly recommend it.

Comfortable, clean and spacious room. Friendly host (Grandma!) Convenient location, two minutes from Visitor Center.

Take-out breakfast from a small kiosk down the street. It was OK, but not up to Grandma's standards.

Very convenient location. The room is clean and big. The breakfast, even you need to pick it outside the hotel, is really good.

Huge and clean room

None

Sweet and kind host. Room was large. Convenient but slightly away from the busiest area.

Very friendly, big clean rooms!

Clean and well located. The staff / family is very friendly and welcoming.

It can be noisy at times

Most comfortable bed in Taiwan. Super flexible with check-in. Breakfast voucher for a local place was nice too.

This was an excellent really comfortable stay in the beautiful sun moon lake , everything about the seat was perfect , the room was big, spotlessly clean , amazing shower bathroom, massive comfortable big bed, all linens clean and fresh , great breakfast from down the road in the morning , discounted bike hire from lovely guy a few doors down to cycle the excellent path around the stunning lake and finally the owner is so lovely and helpful and communicates well via translate app. If you are coming here this is a must stay.

Grandma! Comfortable large room

No elevator, hard pillow

Great location Super clean rooms Large room with balcony Arrangement for breakfast with nearby cafe that opens at 6.30am, with tasty Taiwanese food

You can hear the traffic as it is on the main road but it's ok if you go to bed early and wake up early like anyone else in the area 😉
