Harbor View Hotel

We stayed at Harbour View Hotel, Keelung with one double room and one quad room, which worked really well for our family. The rooms were simple but comfortable, and the location made it easy to walk to the harbour area and night market. The double room had a lovely comfy bed, but in the quadruple room the mattress was much harder and a little less comfortable. The 4th floor has a washer and drier for guests to use, for free, and was a blessing for us with so much laundry to do. What really stood out, though, was the kindness of the staff. After we left for a 4-day cruise, we realised we had accidentally left behind some clothes and my son’s headphones. The hotel had already found everything and kept it safe for us until we returned. There was no fuss, no stress — just quiet honesty and care. Coming back to have everything waiting for us was such a relief and says far more about the place than any list of facilities ever could.

A decent-sized room and extra-large double bed made this comfortable. Breakfast was included and there was a lot of variety, mainly Chinese, so you'd have to be into that; the only "Western" offering was toast. A very short walk from both the harbor and the amazing Night Market, which was a real adventure (too bad it was pouring rain). The hotel lobby was stark and the initial front desk response was a bit surly, and the room had a strange smell - maybe cigarettes? It reminded me a bit of wet dog. Still, it was comfortable and otherwise clean, and given the overall cost a very good deal. One warning: as with many "Harbor View" hotels around the world, not all the rooms will actually have water views; we had a view of a brick wall.

The location is close to the train station, and there are many restaurants and food around, as well as many souvenir shops. . . . . The environment is beautiful and comfortable. . . . The transportation is convenient and fast. . . . . . The hotel has complete facilities, comfortable and warm, and the rooms are elegant and large. . . . The hot spring pool is large, but the water can be heated a little more
