Red Chimney B&B

You can cook your own meals here, which is a nice feature. The room was cozy and comfortable, and the landlady was friendly. Just keep in mind that this is a residential area and things need to be quiet after 10 PM, so high-energy groups should think about that.

I told them I'd made the remittance, and less than a day later they said they wanted to cancel my reservation because they'd already notified people on the waitlist. I thought there should be some time to process the payment. Their attitude was awful and the sudden cancellation caught me completely off guard. Now I have to rethink my itinerary, and I'm really disappointed. Anyone hoping to stay may need to pay the deposit quickly.

The price was quite affordable, and the stay from check-in through checkout was lovely, even though I was there for just one night. The guesthouse is tucked down a quiet alley, with refreshing decor and furnishings. I enjoyed the lively Luodong Night Market on my first evening, then woke to a thoughtful breakfast the owner had prepared. It left me feeling happy and refreshed, and I'd recommend the place to anyone visiting Yilan.

The decor makes the place feel both cozy and luxurious, and the shared areas are roomy and comfortable if you book the whole building. Sound carries between rooms, though, so that could be an issue when other guests are around. The stay includes two freshly cooked breakfasts, one Chinese and one Western, and both tasted excellent.
