Applause In The Mountain

OK

Dejlige og komfortable senge. Venlig og hjælpsom personale. Et stort minus er nok at de er så dårlige til engelsk

Die Lage und die Gestaltung des Applaus sind einzigartig, auch und gerade in der Gegend. Die Innenausstattung der Zimmer entspricht einer deutschen 70 € Ferienwohnung, d.h., das Applaus ist auch in Taiwan deutlich zu teuer für das, was geboten wird. Zum Abendessen gab's immer den gleichen (leckeren) Hotpot, da hat man spätestens am dritten Abend ein Problem, weil das nächste Restaurant, das nach 18 Uhr noch geöffnet ist, 45 Autominuten entfernt ist.

ホテルのスタッフの方が丁寧に館内案内をして戴きました。またホテルから徒歩圏内に御来光を臨む事が出来るポイントが有りとても便利でした。

還可以，設置浴缸卻沒塞子，搞不懂

I loved our family room with the loft; very clean and cozy and we had our own balcony with a beautiful view of the tea plantation. The hot pot restaurant was amazing with delicious fresh veggies and was a lovely way to end the day after hiking in the misty forest. The view of sunset from the hot pot restaurant was absolutely stunning! My only reservation would be for elderly travelers as there are stairs and some steep pathways- they would need some assistance with luggage and walking. Breakfast was delicious! I’m so grateful we stayed here. Thank you!

It 9s a beautiful property, great views and nice rooms but the service is absolutely terrible. Actually there is no service at all. Anything you ask for is a NO. Nobody speaks English so very difficult to get information. More important if you have difficulty with movement , climbing etc please don’t go here. The steps re very steep, hard to maneuver and very uneven. All in all if wasn’t for the views I would have given them a terrible review.

There are lots of steps to climb, even get to the main office to check in. I had to take my case and bags with me to walk along all stairs ( no elevator), this would be hard for seniors and people with disabilities. Plus, it is hard to find the place, we missed the way, then backed to find the tiny road to turn in…

The selling point of this place is its location from where you can walk 15 minutes up a small hill to see Alishan sunrise. This advantage may be the disadvantage the same time, because for these tourists who come to Alishan first time, transportation between the Alishan park entrance (the transportation hub) and the hotel is a little bit confusing. This hotel is half hour bus-driving from the entrance and you must pre-book the hotel shuttle to pick you up at the bus station. But overall my experience there was good and the lady boss was very nice and helpful. The facility and amenity are good.

喜歡大自然的人 這間民宿非常適合 寬敞舒適 還有專屬陽台

房間大且沒異味,枕頭好睡有冷熱水機

住客少，有免費升等。棒棒。停車場還有兔兔。

The property is inside a small village. It is equipped better than most of hotels that I had experienced, such as heated toilet seat. There is 30-40 minute walking distance from bus stop, the owner drives a Mercedes to pickup guests. Room is very clean, bed is large and comfortable. Breakfast is free. Dinner is Japanese style hot pot only.

Great place near many Alishan staples, staff is super friendly, and nice view of the sunrise/sunset

One night. Nice mountain hotel. But nearly 1h drive to Alishan Township. Balcony is facing sunset and not sunrise. You have to drive a bit. Not recommended to walk before sunrise.

2回目の宿泊。とても良い。 食事は美味しく、部屋も清潔。 ぜひまた行きたい。

清幽自然環境很棒

The only downside to this hotel is the number of stairs required to access anything. Particularly bad when checking out and carrying your bags up.

Nice view and nice restaurant and hot pot. Quiet and relaxed environment in the a very hilly tea plantation.

Great view from balcony

Remote location on a tea plantation. Gorgeous sunset. Nice private balconies. Minimal English (need google translate)

The biggest downside of the hotel is the many flights of stairs to get down and up to your room. A plus is that there is free parking provided. We first had to drag our heavy suitcases down the outside set of stairs from the car park then all the way up to the room. There are no elevates inside the hotel but there is a luggage service however that is only offered at 10 am. The workers there do not speak English making it hard to communicate with the first set of workers that greeted us. However, the front desk used a phone translator making it easy to deliver a message to us. It was a fairly clean room but if you look closely at the corners of the bathroom, it looks like the seals are older and the curtains have some stains. Overall, it's a lovely view that overlooks their tea farm and the beautiful alishan mountain range.

Good

There is power shutdown in room for lights and power socket from 12 midnight to 7am but our groups are not informed when we check in.

I can see the sunset from the patio of your room. The room was clean and warm, however the bathroom was a little old. Breakfast was delicious, and service was wonderful. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful location, friendly staff. Great views and lovely birds singing. The walls are very thin, we could hear the water running when the neighbors showered or bathed and used their jacuzzi tub - it was very noisy. Our shower/tub could use a curtain as the water sprayed all over the bathroom and the floor got super wet. The breakfast choices were extensive (if you are Chinese) we basically had some toast and peanut butter and jelly. Lots of steep stairs to climb up and down to the parking area, the hotel used a small car to transport our bags down to the bedroom.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel that caters mostly to local tour groups. Our room on the top level of Building C (#321) was clean and well maintained, with an amazing view of the valley below. The staff was friendly and helpful but spoke limited English. The hotel offers complimentary Taiwanese style breakfast and a low cost hotpot dinner. The property is located along the Fushan Trail, with a sunrise observation platform within 20 minute walk from the hotel. This is not the popular Zhushan sunrise observation platform in the Alishan National Forest Recreation Area, but the view is still nice and is less crowded. The Alishan National Forest Recreation Area is a 40-min drive from the hotel so one needs a car (or be part of a tour group) to visit the main attraction. The hotel is built on a steep slope so it will be challenging for the elderly who cannot handle lots of steps (no elevator on site). The hotel restaurant serves the same breakfast and hotpot dinner everyday, so one needs to drive 15 mins or so to the nearby town for restaurants with more choices. One quirky policy of the hotel is that they do not provide hot water between 11 am and 4 pm (between check out time and check in time), which is not convenient for those who stay at the hotel for more than one day. To accommodate those who do not read Chinese, the hotel should have English signage to direct the drivers to the property. Providing in-room safe will also be very helpful to international travelers.

B&B nestled in the hill country 30 minutes from Alishan National Park/visitor area. We were upgraded to a room with a view and two King’s beds. The staffs are very courteous, helpful, and engaging, make the guests feel at home. The facility is well maintained. No pest intrusion into the cabin. A 20 min walk/hike to see Alishan sunrise.(level is moderate)

The setting and view were very nice; however, the bathroom was really outdated. The breakfast had a good selection, but the taste was average. The sunrise and trail were pretty, given the overall value, I would not stay there again.

The staff was not very helpful- not very handicapped accessible- did not allow early check in - the views were beautiful!!!

中式早餐很簡單，西式早餐只有烤吐司與咖啡

Place was clean and well maintained. Location is inaccessible unless you drive. Breakfast provided was local cuisine with decent options

Spacious rooms with breathtaking views. We got upgraded from a twin beds room to a twin kings room. The facility is clean and quiet but only thing is the building are built by wood so therefore very little sound proof! You can hear people talk outside and floor above you moving furniture or walking.. property is surrounded by mountains/ tea plantations so it’s not close to anything. Breakfast was decent and the only choice for dinner was hotpot. You pay extra for it. It was good but if you’re not a fan of it. There’s no other choice. Beside some loud talking guests, I did enjoyed my stay at this property.

The rooms are a super pleasant surprise! Very modern, new, clean, yet retains a lot of the local charm. Plus, jaw dropping view and absolute tranquility. Amazing experience. We can’t wait to come back

The room is big but has some dust and few dead buds on the vanity table and shelf. The toilet paper roll holder is broken and the paper roll is up on the towel rack. Lots of stair and it’s hard to carry with some luggage since you have to go through up and down stairs. The sign is not clear to find the main entrance. No early breakfast prepared but this is a place to go to Alishan to watch sun rise. Not worth the price of the room.

滿山的茶園，遠山的山景讓人很放鬆

Great location to climb a small hill to see sunrise although it’s cloudy on the day we visited. Great food and room was clean. Great service of moving our luggages.

Nice place facing the tea farm, like their hot pot too. Staff can be more friendly & helpful.

This is a beautiful tea growing area, with incredible views out of our room. Despite a language barrier, the staff was very helpful in making us feel welcome. They helped set us up with hikes, the bus to Alishan (including giving us a ride to and from the bus stop), and arranging a car service to take us to our next destination. We can't recommend staying here enough, including for any foreign visitors concerned about ease of navigation or a language barrier. Thank you again!

距離阿里山公路不遠，附近茶園風光，環境優雅。有載運行李，客房帶路等服務，用心經營。客房乾淨，寬敞，陽台可遠眺群山，唯一缺點，四人房(215)房間內沒有椅子，只有一塊木頭可坐，其餘只能坐床上。

This is a really amazing gem of a place on the side of the mountain. Surrounded by a working coffee and tea farm and set amongst a trail system that one can walk to really check out the terrain. Spotless rooms overlooking the farm with all the amenities and the really fun hot pot restaurant for dinner.

my family really enjoyed the beautiful surroundings this place offered. Highly recommended!

Very unique and clean. It serves great breakfast with lot of variety. Hot pot dinner onsite is highly recommended. Beds are soft and very comfy. Because it is in the mountains, occasional bugs and mosquitoes could inevitably sneak in. Overall, a great stay.

Stayed for 2 nights. Weather was great n chilly. There were lots of bugs which me and my aunt weren’t used to cuz we came from the city. Food is so so only. But I guess the 人情味 from the host as well as the locals made up for it. Had a great time overall. Managed to catch a sunrise from the platform nearby, lots of natural air but rather inaccessible so driving over recommended.

環境佔了很大的優勢, 但階梯過多, 對於行動不便的老人家或身障人士比較不友善. 整體而言還是給高分哦.

It was a lovely place with beautiful landscapes nearby, rooms are comfortable and clean , breakfast was delicious. However , I just wish they could have provide some oolong tea for guest in breakfast.

風景不錯 但隔音極差 各種聲音 整晚都聽到機器轉的聲音 水流聲音 一大早走路聲音 搬東西聲音 講話聲

很舒適

In the middle of beautiful mountains. Quiet and natural setting. Good place to stay while visiting Alishan

Beautiful spot in the mountains. Beware there are a lot of stairs to descent go get to your room! The restaurant only serves hotpot but in 4 miles there are gooed places to eat.

Am really amazed with their service and room condition. Very new and huge. Please book this accommodation as the staffs and owners are extremely friendly. They will even send you out to take public bus to Alishan Park. You can also opt to walk 10mins to catch the sunrise near the accommodation area. Lastly, they have a lovely dog and cat. I will definitely come by again some day. Thank you! 谢谢你们的招待啊，我们会想你你们和黑lulu ☺️

We absolutely loved our stay. From the minute we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and took great care of us. The room was very nice and the views were spectacular.

Delicious and healty breakfast. Good view and good visit to farmers, can see sunrise nearby from hotel, good steam boat dinner.

hotel is very roomy. commodities are clean and completed. decorations were pretty and staffs were friendly. We had a hotpot dinner in the evening. It was pretty good. Sound proof is not very well. Bedroom to room has no completed wall. We heard a large group of people talking outside when we tried to sleep. internet was not working very well in our room.

Nice hotel and grounds, but the A/C unit was very noisy in the room.

The location is about 40 minutes driving to either Fenchihu or Alisan National Park.The room is spacious and comfortable. There is a trail leading to a hill top (15 min walk) which is the perfect spot for watching sunrise.

Ideal place to get know ther outdoor with tea plantation around. There are plenty to see and many hiking path around the resort. Also there see no shortage of dogs, cats, rabbits and poultry. There is a designated spot to watch sun rise which is 10 mins walk away from the main area. Believe me it is worth getting up at six and see the first ray shining through. What a prefect way to start your day! The rooms are modern and clean with good fittings amd large TV. Wifi is less than idea and could be frustratingly slow or no signal. Oh one more thing is the mobile connection can be intermittent depends on where you are. The place offers dinner at night in a form of hot pot in an outdoor setting at a very affortable and reasonable price. Standard meal offers pork slices, veg, meat balls etc. Anything on top will be charged extra. Hotel staff was hospitable and friendly. They are helpful and always willing to chit chat and offer their service. I had to change room owing to a bit of odour in the bathroom, they were happy to change us into another room upon request. I was impressed by their flexibility and willingness to accommodate our request. Driving there is not so easy though, you may get lost even with GPS as the road into the place can be missed easily. The road up to Alishan is wide but very winding with many hair pin corners. New drivers need to pay attention to the speed when approaching these hair pins. Despite that i will not hesitate to recommend

The road is so dark and the staff ask me to move my car forward but he cannot see the stone wall (around 30cm high) and it led to a crash. Not even an apology was given. And they cannot find the booking because the booking name shown on their record is simply expedia. Took some time to solve. The room is nice.
