10/10 Exceptional

Loved this immaculate hotel which is in a remodeled commercial building. Nice staff, several breakfast options, great location for walking to Shennong Street, Hayashu Department Store, Garden St. Night Market, and more. I would only have wished for better coffee; a Nespresso machine would have made our stay perfection.

Danny, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Service and room was excellent! We had originally booked 3 nights in a room with tatami mats, but after our arrival, we realized it was not for us and we had made a mistake. We asked the hotel staff if we could switch to a room with a bed for the remainder of the stay and they were so generous to accommodate the request. Breakfast each morning was excellent and this is the perfect location to explore the West Central District by foot. Great food and drink options all in walking distance. Highly recommended!

Leslie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel itself is very cute. Room is simply decorated but has all you need. Breakfast is delicious - we had 3 out of the 4 options and all were good. You do need to select specific time for breakfast as the space is limited. Hotel location is convenient and easy access to most places. Only downside is the water pressure for shower was a bit weak.

Cleanliness is top notched. Room is big. Some basic necessities could be requested during the stay. Concierge speaks good English and is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. There are many eateries around the hotel and some tourist spots are within walking distance. 1 night stay on a Sunday night cost about USD50 and it comes with free breakfast for 2 pax.

Good location and room in good size, yet the wall is very thin where you can hear people talking on the street and the snoring sound of your neighbor. Also there is only one lift in the building to be shared among the hotel guests and housekeeping.

A comfortable stay in the heart of Tainan City

It’s like falling in love at the first sight. Since looking at Retro Taipan’s pictures on Google review, I know this is the one. It has a unique appeal with its combination of Japanese vintage and industrial design. Moreover, the location is surrounded by many attractions and delicious foods within walking distance. Above all, its top-notch mention is COMFORT! Spacious room, just-the-right-hardness of mattress dressed in a crisp linen, spotless bathroom with Japanese toilet & aromatic scented of shampoo and bath gel….free-refills of drinking water, delish breakfast & Mandeiling coffee..I can’t ask for more.
