Ardi Hotel

The hotel is located just a few minutes walk from Yuanlin train station, so the location is quite good. You'll also find several restaurants nearby. Staff is generally very friendly and tries to help. Unfortunately, when I asked for a double bed instead of twin during check in they wanted to charge me 760 NT$ extra while usually other hotels don't make a difference between those room types. So I just stayed with twin. Unfortunately the rooms are spacious but there's not much more positive to say: They're not soundproof at all, you can hear any word from the room next door; main light switch for the room is on the corridor accessible to anyone; bathroom is in a desperate shape and urgently needs renovation; and the worst: room cleaning is very bad with visible dirt not being removed (found quite a bit on check in and it also wasn't removed during subsequent room cleaning). A dirty room is a no-go. Breakfast is offered until 9:30 and good in quality but with very poor choice. Three warm dishes plus bacon and white bread as western choice, that's just all. At least it varied every day and tasted pretty good. Be aware that if you come after 9:00 they might already start cleaning up but you'll still get some food. Due to the very bad room I won't stay here again.
