Higashishirakawa Vacations from NT$16,382

Great hotel in very convenient location. Fairly noisy but acceptable The only thing that was a slight criticism was the air con was necessary at night but very blowy so ending up with a stiff neck as it was hard to get the room temperature right. It would also have been good to be able to access BBC news on the TV or at least one English speaking channel but not essential.

I did not partake in the breakfast as there was a Sukiya 10m from the hotel. Room was clean, spacious, even Ethernet cable was provided for laptops. You get new water and towels every day which seems like overkill but is appreciated

Very nice and helpful, very sweet. Place is very beautiful and cozy. The public bathrooms were amazing and the onsen in our room was really nice. They have a shuttle, just make sure they can pick you up.

Hotel settings were amazing but I found some spots where needed to be cleaned.

Plenty of shops nearby. Lots of restaurants close relatively early though - by 7pm, lots of shops were shutting / closed already. Security was great. Room was spacious. Shower area was FANTASTIC, spacious.
