For some reason, all the hotels in Puli and Sun Moon Lake were full when we were in Taiwan and this hotel was the only one that was available. Although we only stayed one night, I would not want anyone to stay at this hotel!
Check-in was so slow as they are on a complete paper system. I wasn’t even greeted when I arrived at the counter and just stood and waited. English is very limited.
The hallways smelled like cigarette smoke; someone was clearly smoking in their room!
Room was old and dirty. Dust was in the crease of the headboard of the bed. Bed was as hard as a rock - like sleeping on a piece of plywood!
Bathroom was old and dirty, with the shower ceiling actually lower than the rest of the bathroom. I’m 5’11” and I just barely made it. There was definitely no arm room to stretch.
What was good about the hotel was it’s location - quite walkable to food and to the bus stop where the next morning we couldn’t wait to get out of there!
Tip: Sun Moon Lake offers a shuttle from there to Taipei so you can skip Puli!
