La Plaza Hotel

I do not recommend this hotel as of 1/2020 due to bad mattress and very old towels. Mattress has no support at all. It’s like laying on the ground, very hard. The towels are ripped and fraying, super thin as well. The air conditioner cannot be adjusted. It’s either on full blast super cold or off. I didn’t sleep well at all. There are 2 balconies but not much of a view. It’s nice to get some air and look out at the markets below. There is mini fridge. The decorations are very old style. Drapes are worn. Linens are clean, bathroom is clean. I would not stay again.

The hotel is in good location, very close to train station. Poor front desk staff, no smile, do not have the warm Taiwan welcome. Rooms are dirty and poorly maintained, Breaskfast are poor cooking and poor quality. Overall the hotel is highly disappointing. The hotel needs real professional to run. Now it only deserves one star.

The hotel was under renovation during our stay. The property shows its age but the staff do their upmost to keep up while the renovation progresses. Convenient location, good bedding, clean good sized room. Unblocked view towards the Chihkan tower. My luggage was damaged after I left it at the bell counter at early check in. The manager and the staff worked to find a workable fix for the rest of the trip. Wifi does not work if that is important to you.
