Hotel Leisure Taichung

Centralised located. Easy access to train station. A small and compact room. Cleanliness is just above average.

This hotel needs to be deep clean. They give us room at the 8th floor which super dirty. Went to front desk and ask for another clean room. They move us to 12th floor which looks like newly renovated . Still i will not comeback in this hotel... Staff was very nice, keep saying sorry to us.

Great value for price and location being right beside Taichung's main train station with easy access to other transport (ex. to Taipei HSR station, Sun Moon Lake, UBike station). Room also had good view of the nearby plaza beside the train station. Free breakfast had a good selection of hot foods and drinks, including pork or chicken + veg noodles, stewed and fried vegetables, congee with various toppings, hard-boiled eggs, toast, soy milk, etc.

Smoking should not be allowed in pool area. I had to inhale second hand smoke with a guy non stopped smoking.

Everything was great!! Check in and out super easy.

Good

8 storey hotel right next to the Taichung railway station so very convenient. Plenty of restaurants and shops around. Lot of homeless people sleeping outside the station and this hotel. Great 2nd floor breakfast room with street view, but breakfast was only ok. Eggs and vegetables or noodles. Coffee, toast and jam and juice mainly with fresh fruit. Ok for a few nights but not much to see in Taichung.

Place was clean and accessible to the train station.

The hotel is very near Taichung TRA. Recommended for visitors who came in to the city via the train since it’s super easy to find and walk about. The MRT is not yet connected to all parts of the city making bus as the main transport. The place is near to the bus stops to sun moon lake as well.

excellent location and comfortable room

Location is excellent! Service is good. The front desk are professional and sweet. The room was clean with nice city view. With this price, it's really nice.

人員專業，但是隔音效果不太好

Great staff and location. Close to the main train station and bus terminal. Free parking provided at the 2F of the bus terminal.

Good location , variety of breakfast choices and the room is clean and bright.

Convenience location. Warm people. Our short story goes.. we came from Singapore looking for a type of candy but in vain. The people at reception counter were remarkable, going the extra mile to tracking down the manufacturer, make calls to pin down retail outlets but they were sold out. The offered at cost from their own limited stock.

Excellent location. Awesome breakfast. Nice room (w/o window)

Convenient location-- steps from the train station and shops. Good value-- The room was small but had everything we needed. We didn't have to pay for any extra space or fancy amenities that we didn't need. US$60 is a very reasonable price for this level of quality.

Great location! you can walk 2-3 mins from Taichung Railway Station to Hotel and All staff are warm welcome

We really enjoyed our stay here, their staff are very nice, room is big, food is good and the location is the best, 3-5 mins walk to Taichung station. Until next time Butler Hotel. Thank you for making our stay comfortable and for your free snack everyday after cleaning our room. I highly recommend this hotel if you want to stay in Taichung. 👍👍👍

We were in Taichung. Room was small for the price paid compared to Kaoshiung. Shower was next to the window. There was only a wash basin and no space to put our own toiletries. But Staff are very courteous and helpful. Location is very convenient.

Welcoming staff tried their best giving booking advice and llocation direction thru phone calls. Good in underdtanding different languages (mandarin against cantonese over the phone is challenging). Clean room and all round the hotel made me feeling at home. Laundry, gym, and breakfast were highlight for me.

I'm quite surprised about the welcome gift insdie the room, i love it...

The location of this property is great, it is right next to the station which is so convenient. The single person room is very comfortable. Breakfast is ok - bit of a random selection but could always find something!

Location is great - just next to Taichung TRA Station. Reception staff were always friendly and greet customers with smiles.

The hotel is right next to the local main train station. This also has lots of people and beggars which are far less intrusive than in other countries. Breakfast was ok and room was comfortable. I like a hard bed so I was in love with my bed. The location far outweighs and negatives for this hotel.

Safe and secure environment. Convenient location, train stations and bus station there is also a shopping mall not too far away.

convenient friendly comfortable welcoming helpful great amenities and breakfast

The location is great! Cleaner staff is good and polite. Free to use washing machine and also got a surprise snack everyday. Breakfast is ok.

Excellent location! Free snacks everyday. Would be better if we did not have to provide email address, then receive an email from the hotel everytime we log in to wifi.

Good surrounding shops.

Location was perfect.Lobby of Hotel, room and restaurant were well maintained and very clean.Price of room worth the money.Food gift items good.will recommend to my friends

Convenient location, nice staff but breakfast not much choice. The bad thing is there are renovation works conducting that makes some noise in the afternoon.

The pillow and pillow case at room 902 very smelly. I don’t dare to sleep on it. Must change to a new pillow. Overall good. All basic toiletries provided included small and big towel and toothpaste and toothbrush.

Very near train station. Next door undergoing renovations but hotel informed us in advance. Decent breakfast.

Convenient location and clean but when we were there, there was a construction happening just next door. So you could hear drilling sound from 8am in the morning.

Had a horrible experience here. Upon checking in we found that there was broken glass in the bathroom, also parts of the bathroom door was on the ground. Did not think much of it, until 8am the following day (Saturday morning, mind you) when there was horrendous shaking and loud banging noise from the hotel’s construction. Thanks for telling us in advance. The on duty manager was useless and was unable to change rooms. No offer for any compensation or at least try to delay construction in the morning whatsoever. We were once again woken up at 8 the following day (Sunday). Parking is offsite. No loading/unloading area for luggage. Horrible experience overall.

This is probably the best 3* hotel I have ever been. Rooms are clean housekeeping leaves you some snacks everyday. Staff was polite and they know English. Train station is like 100m away or something like that. Oh yes and for breakfast there are quite various foods.

Spacious rooms and super convenient location at a decent price. Complementary breakfast was good too. Would stay here again next time.

clean bathroom ,nice shampoo and bath cream, have nice view in the restaurant

I like the location. Hallway had a weird smell but the rooms were fine.

Wifi was slow for streaming but otherwise location very close to transport so good for day trips like to sun moon lake.

Good location, clean room, comfortable bed, strong WiFi, friendly staffs, overall experience nice

The location is excellent just in front of Taichung train station access 1 minute by walk. Many shops and restaurants arounds the hotels. I booked one single room, it has in the corner perhaps this the air-cond it weaken. I felt very hot as the hotel provides Duvet even outside temperature was 30C. I request to change with thin quilt, but hotel has cannot others quilt rather than Duvet. They sent a fan to my room. Breakfast is very simple and so many guests check-in more than the tables available. Overall the hotel is good location, clean and valuable and have friendly staffs. I will book it on my next trip to TaiChung.

Uncleaned towel with some hair attached to it

Nice, easy to find the hotel, service is good too.

My gf gave me a pleasant birthday surprise and the hotel staff went beyond expectations and decorated the room. Check in was efficient and fast and front desk staff were very helpful and friendly and the service is excellent. Thank you.

Better have breakfast early to get a table with old train station view.

Nice and very close

It is convenient to take the public transportation.

Great location, near to Taichung TRA Station and buses. I would choose this hotel again if I visit Taichung again.

I enjoyed my stay in the hotel. I will stay there again when I come to Taichung.

Small rooms but good conditions, rooms are cleaned to a satisfactory level. Staff makes you feel like you are home.

Very close walking distance to train station 3 night markets within 8 mins drive However it is 20mins drive to fengjia night marketand expressway which will be handy if you are travelling to outskirts places. 7 eleven and Family Mart within 1 min walk Very safe environment

Construction nearby and with noises sometimes even at night and/or during bed time. Staffs are nice and will stay at this hotel if the construction is completed.

My family and I had a pleasant stay at Butler hotel. The hotel is also named as Plaza hotel. The hotel staff were warm and helpful. There are many different food places and it’s walkable distant to Taroko Mall too.

The bed mattress was quite hard and uncomfortable

We booked a room for 4 during our trip in tai chung. The room is big enough for 3 of us to open our luggages inside the room at the same time. The air conditioner is functioning properly. The bathroom is clean and expectedly spacious. The water is warm quickly. There are free snacks and water everyday. The location is perfect which is near the tai chung station. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is also a luggage weighing machine over the lobby. It's convenient for us to measure the weights of the luggages before going to airport. Generally it's a nice hotel to stay.

The location is good and there are lots of restaurants around the place.

The hotel name was changed to Plaza Hotel and we were not aware of as we booked for Butler Hotel on Expedia. It would be nice if Expedia informed us of this change. We ended up going round and round the area to find Butler Hotel, wasted our time and effort as we were changing multiple pieces of luggage. We followed the google map of the hotel location, went around that area, here and there. Gave up finally in front of Plaza Hotel, walked into it and asked a staff for Butler Hotel. We were surprised that we were actually standing in the correct spot. The hotel staff did not put on pleasant and inviting faces. The room was alright apart from too many mirrors in it. The toilet was clean apart from the dirty floor mat.

Very cozy room, feels newer than what some of the photos suggested. Cleanliness is well maintained with daily housekeeping. I liked it that my room has a window that allows me a view of the bustling road. The hotel is very near the Taichung train station but due to some train station reconstruction works (supposedly to complete by Oct 2018), some searching might initially be required to locate the hotel. Also, the hotel is actually known as Plaza Hotel on the building façade. Breakfast buffet may not be top notch but the variety of comfort food items offered is very pleasing. Great view at the restaurant's dining area too. Hotel staff very efficient and eager to be of service (they offer tips and brochures on buses to take to various places). 24-hour convenience stores and a few sightseeing hotspots within very near walking distance. There is also an oddly secluded laundry room, gym and business centre at the basement for hotel guests' exclusive use. They seem to have a stringent policy on check-in and check-out time though, as they politely offered me hourly extension rates when I enquired about late check-outs.

Good location, near Tai Chung train station and bus terminal. I must live in this hotel if return to Tai Chung again.

Great value. Next to Taichung station. Comfortable stay.

Overall the hotel stay was good except that the room of ours have many LED blue light switch which made the room too bright for sleep. The laundry service would be good if its free for guests use. Breakfast replenish of food too slow but coffee was delicious.

Within 5 mins walking distance to Taichung Train Station for trips out of Taichung. The room is spacious and the two large beds are more than enough to accommodate a family of 4. take the Family Room. And at this price, highly value-for-money.

Very good location.

Convenient location. Though next to train station, it is quiet. UBS bus just opposite the hotel.

Good location, room is clean

Comfortable and clean hotel. Facilities are new and staff are friendly. Most sightseeing spots and shops are within walking distance. Breakfast has a fair variety of choices. Just WiFi was rather weak so we had to use our own WiFi egg.

We stayed one night in a Business Suite. It was pretty spacious, modern and well equipped (sockets, international adapter, WIFI). Breakfast was simple but sufficient. The table we had breakfast had a rather good, street view. I was satisfied and comfortable.

I had a nice stay at the Plaza Hotel. I wouldn’t say I was overwhelmed by anything, but my room was clean & tidy, bathroom was nice and spacious, and it was quiet. Good location next to the train station, although the high speed train station is miles down the road (do note this).

The hotel is situated next to the Taichung train station, surrounded by dirty dusty buildings. The name is very confusing: there are at least 2 other 'Plaza' hotels in the same area, each with a different Chinese name. The taxi drivers in Taichung hardly spoke English and we were dropped off at the wrong hotel more than once and had to find our way to the right hotel in the hot humid evening by asking directions and getting more lost. As for the rooms, they smelled of stale cigarette smoke even though they were supposed to be nonsmoking rooms. The windows and curtains were grimy and the showers drained really slowly. The rooms (we had 2) felt old and tired. The front desk staff (2 young men and a young woman) were not friendly or helpful when we tried to asked about bus service to Sun Moon Lake. The breakfast was nice but the employees in the restaurant were equally cool and indifferent. Makes you wonder why any of the workers there bothered to be in the hospitality business.

Good location!

Great location. Nearby shopping, street food, famous ice cream shop and train station next door. Even Ubus was close.

Very convenient. A stone throw away from bus and rail stations.

The staff is great, and the room is clean. At the opposite of hotel has my company namely ubus. Recommend for those who want to stay for a night and come back to taipei. It's a good choice to consider.

Convenient location. Clean. Nice breakfast. Friendly service. Small gym without free weights.

Very good location, near TRA and very convenience to commute to THSR. There were many shops around the hotel and very near Miyahara. Room and toilet was clean.

Hotel is located only 5minutes walk from Taichung train station which is very convenient. I asked staff about the night market and rainbow vellige on arrival. Instead of providing some helpful information she told me the vellige is too far and the night market might not on due to raining.

The hotel has a perfect location, right in front of the train station, 2mn walk to intercity bus terminal, with many other bus lines. There is a gym on the basement floor. My room on the 11th floor had a great view of the station area, it was comfortable, well decorated and functional, although a bit small and not well sound-proofed (from noises inside the hotel). The buffet breakfast in the bright 2nd floor cafe was very nice.

Facilities offered are not as competitive as other hotels - like no washing machine/drier, no free coffee and self service kitchen, no free snacks, no bicycle for guests use, etc

Everything are good. Recommend for this hotel. Location is the center of the city and convenience to go anywhere.

Great location! Just next to Taichung train station!

Good for the value. Close to the train station n convenient. Staff is helpful. Room facing the main road which is a bit noisy.

Very decent hotel with good breakfast option. New facilities. Unfortunately there are constructions going on nearby and it can be noisy at times. Convenient otherwise.

They need to clean the room better. When we checked in we found left over food in the fridge and the next day we noticed food crumbs that were not cleaned on the floor. The location is good but need improvement on the cleaning part.

They are very friendly and nice. Quality design hotel and room. Clean and comfortable.

Hotel is near to train station and very convenient. The hotel room air condition temperature cannot be adjusted. It is centralised which is no good. The room carpet is quite old and need to be changed.

Aircon cannot be adjusted. Too cold. But staff was good enough to provide extra blanket

Neat and nice. Close to train Station. Friendly staff. Food can be better

Service was good. Room was comfortable. Reasonable price.

Good! But i hope they are more generous with towels and toilet paper provision.

Comfortable stay!

Good location near the Railway Station. The room was alright, but there were marked stains on the floor which I weren't too impressed with.

Stay for 3 nights. Happy with the check-in and decor of the room. But the experience became bad when I was awaken in the morning by noise caused by showers (10+ times) and toilet flush (5+ times) from other guest rooms. Thus, the noise from outside became tolerable. Can also clearly hear TV from other guest room. In short, the sound proof does not work. The pillow was so hard my neck ached on the following day. Upon request, hotel gave me a softer pillow and towels to replace the hard pillow but there was nothing they could do about the noise apart from offering another room without window which was unacceptable to me. I definitely will not stay in this hotel again but would recommend to those do not mind so much about noise given the price

The hotel is clean and cozy. Room size is fair, you can have enough space for two big luggage. There is no window in our room but it is still acceptable for one night stay and worth the price. It is close to the Taichung Station (only abt 3 min walk) There are also a number of buses which allow you to go different places. Staff are nice and helpful. The only bad thing is the breakfast there. The restaurant is a bit small to accommodate all the guests, especially during peak hours, like 9 sth. (it offers breakfast from 7-10). My bf and i arrived at the restaurant at 930 and there was a long queue waiting for seats. I walked around the restaurant and found that not much food left. I m not sure whether they will fill up cox its 930 already. In the end i didnt hv breakfast there.

This is the 3rd or 4th time staying at Plaza Hotel. Their service and their rooms again was very much up to expectation. This time round, I stayed in their double room which is spacious. I've given feedback last year during my stay that they could provide more vegetarian/vegan friendly breakfast for their guest and this time, their breakfast are more vegetarian friendly. Even with the new Train Station, it is still within walking distance and very accessible to various places.

Guest room is very small. But the location is very good as it is close to the transportation center of the city.

Good location in the centre of the city.

This hotel is right opposite the train station. Easy to walk. It was comfortable, not lavish, however we had the cheapest rooms, so others might have been better. It was clean but a bit worn. Good breakfast with plenty of choices.

Location is just next to Taichung Train Stn. Room is spacious and clean but no window. Need to improve on breakfast spread. Also very near to Yichong nite market.
