The hotel has false advertising. Than what is in the actual features? There are no laundry facilities, you have to walk outside to go to the coin-operated laundry shop. They did not even provide instant coffee in the rooms. The breakfast was all vegetables and no meat at all, the menu is the same every day.

The only good thing about staying in this hotel is the location. There are many stores in the vicinity.

\"Disappointing Stay: Poor Maintenance and Rundown

The hotel is conveniently located near the train station and adjacent to a shopping mall. However, it is in desperate need of maintenance as the condition is extremely rundown. The water cooler was so dirty that I didn’t feel comfortable refilling my water bottle. The fridge in the room was rusty, the bed was sunken, and there was no holder for the toilet roll. The shower curtain was makeshift, hanging on a rusty rod. The internet connection was painfully slow, and the presence of a different name on the signage made it feel like it’s no longer TwinStar Hotel. Overall, I am very dissatisfied with my stay.

Location, Location, Location! Not the newest, fanciest or nicest of hotels but definitely the most convenient! Right next door to Taroko Mall which has everything - food court, Carrefour (kind of like Walmart but nicer), McDs, Starbucks, Daiso, movie theaters, lots of boutique shopping, etc. Also right across the street from Taichung Train Station. Numerous bus stops all around. All of the hotel staff were so nice, friendly and helpful. We were given breakfast buffet tickets for each morning of our stay and there was something for everyone to enjoy. The room decor and furniture were tired and dated but the bathroom and linens were clean.

The location of this hotel is excellent, but the facility should be remodeled because it is not clean, and the walls are not soundproof. You can hear people talking and the sound of a hairdryer. I couldn’t sleep until very late at night. When we came out of the elevator, you could smell something. After we went to the room, I could tell it was not a nonsmoking room. So we called the front desk, and they changed our room. The second one was much better, but you could still smell something. But their customer service was good, and they tried to help us solve the problem immediately. They do provide breaskfast, and it was not that good but acceptable. I can only rate them 2/5 overall. I will definitely not go back again.

Align expectations despite the reasonable price.

Should be a good hotel in the past especially in 1980s as facilities were from those days without upgrading. Cleanliness is ok but need to align expectation on the facilities conditions, for instance the hardness of mattress, the lightings, and the old furniture and furnishings. Young staffs assigned to serve hotel guests at level one are very polite. Need to align expectation on the dishes served during breakfast, especially on the consistency and types of breakfast.
