OHYA Chain Boutique Motel-Taoyuan

The room had no window, and the strong stale cigarette smell made it feel unclean. The bathtub also had pink fungus in it. At 2,000 NT a night, I’d spend a bit more for a regular hotel. People here had no manners, and someone was screaming in the middle of the night. Don’t be taken in by the appealing photos; the actual stay was very underwhelming.

I booked a VIP room but was given a standard one, and the room wasn’t clean. There was no heater, and the promised breakfast never came. The website lists lots of features, but I found those claims misleading. A very disappointing stay. I’d pick somewhere else.

We stayed for 15 hours, and the large room works well if you’re bringing a lot of people, though the bill will be bigger too. There’s karaoke, a private pool, a sauna, and a jacuzzi. Bring your own food, because the motel’s McDonald’s meal won’t keep you going all day. The pool light only has a dim setting, and the wooden stairs are damaged, probably from staying wet for so long. A few of our friends slipped on them. The showers by the pool weren’t working either. They should fix the stairs and lighting to prevent an accident.

We stayed in a “party” room with a garden, bedroom, massage table, karaoke area, swimming pool, sauna, and four hot tubs. It’s a really interesting setup. This place also seems suited to couples wanting some time alone, which is usually the kind of guest the hotel caters to.
