F Hotel - Alishan

The outdoor area wasn't bad, and they have a few activities for kids, like grass skiing, a train ride, and fishing. Inside, though, it looked nothing like the website pictures. It felt very old and dated, the AC didn't work well, and there was a weird smell. I don't think it deserves a 3-star rating, and it wasn't worth the price.

We stayed one night during our Taiwan bicycle trip, and the hotel was clean and very good value. What made the difference was the service: when we had trouble with one of our bikes, the staff found us a local bike shop that was still open and helped us get it all sorted. We had a really good stay. Outstanding!

The price was reasonable and parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The room was spacious, with a good hot shower, although the facilities felt a bit old. Reception staff were kind and helpful. But if you need Wi-Fi, don't book here. We couldn't connect in our room, and oddly there was no Wi-Fi in the lobby either.

When I checked in, the staff upgraded me to a room for five people. The room was especially nice for its size, and everything else was good too. The staff can't speak English. I'd come back if I visit the city again.
