Smile 73 Hotel

Staff and location Nothing

Clean and comfortable bed Nothing

Room was spacious and clean. Staff helpful and polite - little English spoken, but phone translations effective. Very good location - 10 mins walk from Regional Bus and Train Station (includes frequent direct bus to/from Taoyuan International Airport); 5 mins walk from Taiwan Blvd and bus to CBD (#300 at No2 Market B/Stop); 2 mins walk from Taichung Park. Several local tourist sites within 30 min walk (Nantian, Confucian Temple, day markets, Taichung Historic Rail Station). Many local cafes - particularly of SE Asia communities. Two powerpoints with Universal Plug receptor. Ceiling lighting created glare on laptop screen (when sat at desk) - but there are lobby benches for laptop work. Regional Express Train Services stop at Taichung Main Station, but the High Speed Rail Service stops 2 stations distant.

Breakfast. I maybe stay too long but there is five boxes for choice and all taste same.

Clean and good location Not enough space for your clothes only 2 hangers in the room (no closet ) toilet paper need to turn your body to get i

Very good

Exceptional

Superb

Beds were very comfy, hotel was really clean and very new. Check in was nice and easy. Free coffee and tea, and breakfast is offered for a fee. We took advantage of the free parking nearby (a 5 min walk), which was easy to use once you got the hang of it. Location is near the big Taichung Park, which is great to walk through in the mornings. Also near lots of food, including the shopping avenues closer to the main train station, and also north of the park (2 night markets). Room also provides a sightseeing map of the area around the hotel (Chinese only). There is an elevator, so no need to lug baggage up to higher floors. Staff is happy to keep baggage while you explore the city. Bathroom water pressure was great, and water got hot very quickly. Beds are hard in a good way, and quite comfortable. There is are convenient power outlets next to the beds. Great blackout curtains. Room is very soundproof - I didn't hear the neighbors at all during my stay. Wifi was nice and strong. Location is next to a casino (if you care about that). It is a little bit far from the main train station (about a 15 min walk), just too far to be comfortable with a lot of luggage. We turned the AC on the first night, then shut it off on the second day. When we returned, the room smelled distinctly like sewage. We turned on the AC again, and it filtered back out - just FYI. There isn't a lot of space for toiletries storage in the bathroom. Note that some of the locations noted in the sightseeing map are no longer open.

The staff was really friendly and always ready to help. There was free coffee and water in the reception area. The room was great and equipped with everything we needed. The breakfast was not too good. It was just choosing from some meals and in the morning picking it up from the reception and eating it in the room, where there was no designated space for this.

Spacy hotel room, good shower and comfy bed. 2 of 3 rooms I checked had cigarette smell...

Very good

Comfortable stay, friendly staff, good breakfast, nice and clean. Convenient location

nil eveything

Room very clean. Nice location. Highly recommend!! ❤️✨✨ The entrance to the parking building is quite narrow (7F-13F), but it's understandable since it‘s a shopping mall parking lot.

friendly staff, clean rooms and proximity to station breakfast options limited to breakfast buns and tea, no coffee

The beds were too firm. The location was surprisingly far from Taichung Station and any popular shopping areas. 15-20 minutes.

Very friendly and helpful staff, easy checkin and offered to store luggage after checkout. Coffee at reception. Location. Room was clean and tidy and large enough. Breakfast was not great and did not vary through the stay, with only cold tea or Soya milk. Better to take the free coffee from reception.

Good

Clean and tidy; great service!
