Orient Luxury Hotel

I stayed one night. The lobby was a bit dim, but the place looked luxurious from the lift through the walkway to the room. The room and toilet were clean and met expectations. Most amenities were there, but no toothbrush or shaver, as Taiwan is moving toward environmental protection. The bed had four pillows and it was quiet outside, so I slept well. The shopping area is about a 10 minute walk behind the hotel.

The rooms are very nice and relatively new, and the hotel is on the newer side of Chiayi city. Good value. Dinner at the Japanese restaurant on the 1st floor was surprisingly good: there’s no menu, just a six course set for each person based on whatever seasonal produce is available. Breakfast was okay, though there weren’t many western choices and most of it was Taiwanese food.

The staff were friendly, but not very flexible about requests. Parking was a major hassle because the lot is extremely small and only fits about 20 cars. There’s no hotel play area for kids either. You have to pay to use the children's play zone next door, although there was a discount. For this price range it felt expensive compared with similar resorts like Look Royal Resort. There’s no swimming pool, and breakfast choices were very limited and not diverse. All that made the price feel unjustified. It’s an okay choice, but you may find better value elsewhere.

The room felt roomy for what hotels cost in Taiwan. The lobby is simple, bright, and comfortable. Breakfast was decent, though nobody cooks eggs or noodles for guests. Parking under the hotel is limited, but they have two or three nearby spaces through a subcontractor. It’s about a five-minute walk to them.
