Longjing Vacations from $2,468

Nice hotel in a great area. Rooms are clean and functional and hotel located along a scenic canal/river. Shops close-by and within 15minute walk to Feng Chia Night Market. Check-in/out easy with helpful staff to help.

This hotel is an exemplary modern zen version of the traditional Japanese ryokan. It evokes the same sensations of being in its environment, be it in the rooms with its own onsen, journeying along the corridors & paths to the dining room, the hotel onsens or the lovingly curated forest garden. Service is absolutely top tier. Where it sadly misses the mark is the kaiseki dinner. It tries to fuse local elements into the courses where there should be that single minded pursuit of simplicity & elegance of the ingredients to be showcased. It’s a shame that it didn’t end up that way, becoming overly complex & puzzling. There is no other choice for dinner, other than the very limited room service menu. The simpler breakfast & lunch menus at the restaurant were more satisfying. It is disappointing that after enjoying that sense of being in the hotel during the day, the evening meal, pinnacle of a ryokan experience, just didn’t complete the zen feeling of being one with the place.

Well the room I have was equipped with little window the rest of the space was filled with technical equipment ,it’s the room a see on Expedia site

All good. I understand that the hotel is planning on installing more water dispensers on each floor, which would be much more eco-friendly than providing water bottles in each room. I'll look forward for it.

Close to Taichung station which was useful for my one night stay. It was well priced and did exactly what I wanted as a stop over before I took the bus to Sun Moon Lake.
