Miaoli Maison De Chine Hotel Review!

Miaoli Maison De Chine Hotel (兆品酒店苗栗) just completed its renovation with an inclusion of a new wing and a brand new fitness centre with spa pools! (What?!) Thanks to the great folks at Miaoli Maison De Chine (thanks Shelly!), we were hosted to a stay at the brand new Premier Suite of Miaoli Maison De Chine!

Facade of Miaoli Maison De Chine

Main Entrance of Miaoli Maison De Chine Zhunan

As we approached the hotel, we were really amazed by the intricacies of the baroque-styled architecture and once you entered into the hotel, you’d be greeted by this huge baroque paintwork by Peter Paul Rubens. Accompanying it is this beautiful hanging chandelier which was put in place, piece by piece by the chandelier masters. Together with the huge lobby space, we were seemingly transported into another dimension…

Reception of Miaoli Maison De Chine

At the reception, the checking-in process was very smooth and we were greeted with all round smiles while we were given clear instructions to our room at level 5. First impression of the room? HUGE and SPACIOUS!

Miaoli Maison De Chine Premier Suite

Greeted first by the living space in the suite at Miaoli Maison De Chine

The suite is essentially compartmentalised into 3 sections, a living space, the bedroom and the bathroom. There are actually 2 TVs in the room with 1 in each of the bedroom and living room!

From our window, we were also able to enjoy views of the beautiful garden area below…

As for the in-room amenities, the usual coffee tea and bathroom essentials were provided. The room also comes with a bath tub for you to relax in the privacy of your own room.

There are also other rooms available at Miaoli Maison De Chine including the

Premier Family room with bathing and toilet facilities separated

Sink of the room also shifted out to allow convenience of use for the entire family

For a touch of luxury, why not choose the Executive Suite of Miaoli Maison De Chine? (also known as the 兆品大套房) The same room was used in the filming of a taiwanese serial by local actors as well!

How about an in-room jacuzzi bath?!

Facilities of Miaoli Maison De Chine Zhunan

Thanks to Shelly, we were given a guided tour of the premise of Miaoli Maison De Chine. Otherwise, you may literally get lost ;P

Banquets Meetings and Conferences

We started our tour of Miaoli Maison De Chine at the Banquet Meeting Area. Perhaps we’ll hold our 10 years anniversary celebrations here?

Banquet meeting area of Miaoli Maison De Chine

The Banquet Meeting Area is actually a space for discussions on the use of the various meeting and banquet rooms on the premise of the hotel. The really interesting part of this area is that there are 2 separate rooms next to each other which allows parents of both families to do their own discussions before coming back together to make the decision! Sample gifts are placed at the side for the couple to conveniently choose their wedding favours as well. The hotel has really thought through the entire process eh?

The hotel also offers 2 grand ballrooms for holding wedding celebrations…

The Majesty Ballroom for a more traditional wedding feel

Or The International Grand Ballroom featuring the largest LED screen in the whole of Miaoli!

If you’re hosting important guests, you can also choose from an array of VIP rooms available, including the The Crystal VIP room or the King VIP room. Of which, the King VIP room features an automatic lazy suzy (it really doesn’t get lazier than that does it?) and 2 electric hot plates for ease of access to hot pots 🙂

The Crystal VIP Room at Miaoli Maison De Chine

King VIP Room for hosting of really really VIP guests, featuring the automatic lazy susan!

For formal meetings, you can also choose from a host of meeting rooms. Including this one that has an overhead projector and a hidden white board for presentations and explanations!

Formal Meeting Room with retractable frames to expose a white board behind – a really cool idea!

For an informal area to chill and discuss business ideas, visit the wine bar Le Vino. The area is quiet and quaint which allows private discussions to take place. To top it off, the poem of Wine by Li Bai （李白 – 月下獨酌）is featured on the walls of Le Vino striking a contrast of western and eastern concepts of wine.

Le Vino @ Miaoli Maison De Chine

To wash, dry and iron those business shirts that you have, the laundry room does offer this function and it even has a steam iron for suits as well!

Other facilities in Miaoli Maison De Chine Zhunan

While walking along the corridors, we stumbled upon a “chess room”

Brands under LDC Hotels

Display of hotels by LDC group in Italy as well (next to the “Chess Room”)

Do not be mistaken because you won’t find international or chinese chess sets within. Instead, it is a mahjong room!

Mahjong Room at Miaoli Maison De Chine Zhunan

The table is professionally laid out and the mahjong paper even has lines drawn on it for players to know exactly where to place their tiles? According to Shelly, these rooms have been thought through with feed back from guests which are now pretty popular especially for those 通宵 (overnight) mahjong sessions :p

VIP Lounge with view of the garden at level 3

Garden view with VIP lounge and hotel facade in the background

We were actually a little disappointed with the VIP lounge as we have been to several club lounges (offering drinks, light snacks and even cocktail sessions) and we came here with the same expectations. Nonetheless, the serenity that the garden offers does bring about a really relaxing feel. Perhaps an al fresco club lounge in the future?

Maison Health Center

Entrance to Maison Health Center at B1

Reception of Maison Health Center Miaoli Maison De Chine

We were then led to the new Maison Health Center located at B1 of Miaoli Maison De Chine Hotel. So we thought to ourselves, what could be possibly interesting about an underground fitness center? Well, we were SO SO WRONG! The Maison Health Center is probably one of the most comprehensive and spacious fitness centers that we’ve seen among all the hotels we’ve visited! The pool is huge with modern curves around the edges and the gym actually overlooks the pool!

Huge swimming pool with inviting curves along the edges

Gym of Miaoli Maison De Chine

But the real surprise is yet to come! The health center not only offers the usual steam bath and sauna but also 3 spa pools at different temperatures! How cool is that?!

3 different spa pools at Miaoli Maison’s Health Center!

This is a really cool concept, unlike any other we’ve seen so far and we’ve probably been to more than 100 hotels. What’s interesting is that each spa pool is “colour-coded” with the blue indicating the cold pool, amber indicating the nice warm pool and red indicating the hot pool. There are also different water jets within the different pools. Our favourite of which is the rain shower like jet in the warm pool. How is it like? Come to Miaoli Maison De Chine Zhunan to find out!

Dinner at Pin Jiang Nan

Again, after taking feed backs from customers who prefer asian-styled cuisine, Pin Jiang Nan was born.

Menu of Pin Jiang Nan 品江南 Miaoli Maison De Chine

品江南 is mainly a dim sum restaurant that offers an alternative to guests who prefer asian cuisine. Although primarily focusing on dim sum, you can also order dishes or mains (such as noodles and rice) to complete the meal. What to eat here? The dumplings of course!

Prawn dumplings (虾仁蒸饺）exquisitely shaped by the master chef

The Si Gua Tang Bao 丝瓜汤包 (a variation of the 上海汤包）with perfect thickness of the melon slice

To say that we love the dumplings at Pin Jiang Nan is really an understatement. We were impressed. The dumplings were made only upon order and the open kitchen concept allows guests to see the chefs in action. This also allows you to know that your dumplings are fresh off the hands of the chefs upon request. A guarantee of freshness! The taste? Pure indulgence! Definitely one of the best dumplings we’ve had! We’ve really run out of words to describe : Fresh, succulent, juicy and did we mention fresh? Just come on down to try it and you’ll understand!

Chefs springing to action!

Chefs making the prawn dumplings “live”

As it turns out, the master chef had close to 20 years of experience in making dumplings having been to several chinese and dumpling restaurants in Taiwan. No wonder you could see that level of skill in the video!

We were also introduced to Dan Huang Sian Su Xia (蛋黄鲜酥酥虾）and the Jiang Si Fu Ru Kong Xin Cai (姜丝腐乳空心菜). In particular, we were impressed with the Kong Xin Cai (vegetables) which was fresh and crisp on the bite and exuberates a mixture of sour, savoury and slightly spicy taste that was really appetising!

To end off the meal, we had the taro sago. Kate enjoyed it but I prefer the thick orh nee version for taro desserts 😛 Also, you may have heard some children laughter from the video above. This is because the restaurant has thought of catering to the kids with the inclusion of a kids play area within the restaurant!

Time to play!

Breakfast at Miaoli Maison De Chine Zhunan

To round off our post, we’ll be showing some of the variety available for breakfast at the Victorian Restaurant at level 1 of the hotel…

Breakfast cereals for the kids

Sour grapefruit but really sweet lychees!

In and Around Miaoli Maison De Chine Zhunan

Around the hotel, there are actually a few things that you can do…

Glass blowing at the Kuo Tai Glass Park – 國泰玻璃觀光工廠

Zhunan Brewery 竹南啤酒厂 – The largest in Taiwan but remember to call in advance for a guided tour!

Delicious pan fried buns within walking distance of hotel at intersection of Ba De Yi Lu and De Yi Lu

Chilling at the integrated park right across Miaoli Maison De Chine

But hey, if you really don’t feel like heading out. Relaxing in the room or chilling out at the health center are great options as well!

How to get to Miaoli Maison De Chine Zhunan

Map from Zhunan Train Station to Miaoli Maison De Chine

If you’re alighting at the Zhunan Train Station like we did, you can actually take a cab to Miaoli Maison De Chine. The trip takes less than 5 minutes and is a fixed price of 120NT. But if you’re really game for walking, it is a 2km walk which takes about 20 minutes. Definitely not for those of you with huge bags and all.

To sum up, we take a look at our BASIC FACTOR and the score for Miaoli Maison De Chine Hotel, is a 4.5!

B – 1. Huge and modern bath tub. Shiok!
A – 1. Miaoli Maison definitely ranks highly for ambience. At times, you may even forget you’re in Miaoli Taiwan!
S – 1. Service was great and we were greeted all around the hotel akin to luxury hotels (higher than 5 stars) that we’ve been to.
I – 1. Beautiful health center with one of the best spa pools we’ve seen.
C – 0.5. Bed was a little on the soft side. Still comfy though.

Audi Garden Business Hotel Taoyuan Review!

Audi Garden Business Hotel Taoyuan (歐帝花園商旅) was our hotel of choice when we visited Taoyuan during our recent trip to Taiwan. Thanks to the good folks at Audi Garden Business Hotel (a big shout out to Ricky!), we were hosted to a stay at its premise and it provided us a great base from which we visited the attractions of Taoyuan as well as a day trip to Taipei!

In fact, Audi Garden Business Hotel has recently undergone a face lift to upgrade all 43 rooms at its premise and you can feel the modern vibe in the design and feel of the rooms. What we really like about the room is the complimentary blu-ray shows on demand! Movies include recent shows and some classic ones. It was also during this stay that we finally got to watch 2 shows that we missed and really wanted to watch – The Bucket List and Ender’s Game!

Video Tour of Family Room in Audi Garden Business Hotel

Breakfast at Audi Garden Business Hotel Taoyuan

Breakfast at Audi Garden Business Hotel is simple and caters mainly to asian taste buds. There’s a selection of dishes and condiments for rice and porridge. On the other hand, there’s a small selection of breads and spreads as well. Though it was sufficient, we would have preferred some choices of eggs and sausages/bacons to round up a “big breakfast”. Coffee on the other hand was great! Remember to go for seconds!

Dishes for rice and porridge

At the end of the dining area, there’s a location for meetings and conference with projectors provided. During meal times, the TV would be on for guests to enjoy.

The strength of Audi Garden Business Hotel really lies in its location. Just a few minutes walk from the Taoyuan train station, it offers a great base for guests to visit (and taste) Taoyuan and even plan a day trip to Taipei!

It’s really simple actually. Just head down along Zhong Zheng Road and when you see this 3 storey McDonald’s, make a right turn into the alley and you’re there!

Our receptionists at Park City Hotel Central Taichung

Park City Hotel Central Taichung Review

Park City Hotel Central Taichung 成旅晶贊飯店 (as the name suggests) is located conveniently just 8 minutes walk away from the Taichung Train Station. If you walk at our pace (and stride), you’ll probably be there is 6 minutes :p Thanks to the good folks at Park City Hotel Central Taichung, we were hosted for our stay at Taichung here…

The usual check in time at Park City Taichung is 3pm but we were about 2 hours early this time. But since it was hot in the summer afternoons of Taiwan (34 degrees! can you believe it?!), we decided to just chill at the lobby and surf the net. By the way, wifi is complimentary for guests and we were also served water as we enjoyed the A/C and comfort at the lobby. But soon (less than 30 minutes later), we were informed that our room was ready, guess that’s great service right there at the start of our stay at Park City Hotel Taichung!

Park City Hotel Central Taichung Double Room

As we entered into our room at level 10, there was a really inviting vibe and here’s the video for you to check out our room at Park City Taichung…

Video Tour of King Sized Bedroom at Park City Taichung

As we continued to explore our room, we found several things that we really liked…

1. Taichung City View. There was a view of the city of Taichung which gives you an additional feel of “space” in addition to the spacious double room. There are also comfortable chairs by the window for you to enjoy the views while chilling in the room!

2. Sun cakes. As a small welcome gesture, there were sun cakes (aka 太阳饼) placed in our room which was timely for our afternoon snacks! We enjoyed it over the in-room coffee plus the pumpkin chiffon cake which we bought enroute. A heavy afternoon snack huh?

Sun cakes and coffee/tea selection provided in the room

3. Bath tub with TV view! What we really enjoyed most was this…

2bearbear enjoying TV while soaking in the bath tub!

There was cable TV (we actually caught Sherlock Holmes season 2 on BBC channel) and we were able to enjoy the shows while relaxing in the bath tub, all in the privacy of our own room! Certainly a luxury that you don’t usually enjoy for Taiwan hotels. A great resting sanctuary as well, especially after a long day of walking and sight seeing 😉

Breakfast at Park City Hotel Central Taichung

Breakfast at Wonderful Cantonese Restaurant on level 2

Breakfast is served daily from 630 to 930am at the Wonderful Cantonese Restaurant at level 2 of the hotel. The restaurant is actually ultra spacious and there are also window seats overlooking the streets at the side which sort of reminds us of the restaurant at Intercontinental Hotel Warsaw – which reminds us of the “live” harp playing for breakfast!

Spacious interior of Wonderful Cantonese Restaurant

We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast on both days at the restaurant. The variety was good with a slant towards western styled breakfast which is great for business meetings and conferences held at the hotel. Do try out the braised pork rice with egg and dim sum which includes the brown sugar buns! And here are the offerings for breakfast at Park City Hotel Central Taichung…Btw, the variety is really good, so enjoy this extensive pictorial review of the breakfast!

How to get to Park City Hotel Central Taichung

Map from Taichung Train Station to Park City Hotel Central Taichung

As you can see from the map, it is relatively easy to get to Park City Hotel Taichung from the Taichung Train station. It is just a 9 minutes (or less) walk by going along Zhong Shan Road (walking past Miyahara enroute) and then making a left turn along Jiguang Street.

As simple as that!

To sum up, we take a look at our BASIC FACTOR and the score for Park City Hotel Central Taichung, is a 3.5!

B – 1. A bath tub with view of the TV? Just about as good as it gets!
A – 0.5. Ambience was welcoming.
S – 1. Service was prompt and we were arranged for early check-in while the receptionists were able to answer queries about the vicinity that we had.
I – 0. No swimming pools here.
C – 1. Bed was firm and comfortable!

1967 City Central Hotel Tainan Review

1967 City Central Hotel Tainan (一九六七時尚私人會館) hosted us to a stay at its premise during our recent trip to Taiwan. As a boutique hotel, there isn’t the usual frills of a swimming pool, gym and spa but its location (just a 9 minutes walk from Tainan Train Station) offers a great base from which you can explore the rest of Tainan!

Entrance of 1967 City Central Hotel Tainan

But first lets check out our room at 1967 City Central Hotel…

1967 City Central Hotel Tainan Double Room

We arrived pretty late on our first night at 1967 City Central Hotel Tainan but we were promptly checked-in by the receptionist (do note that the front desk closes at 11pm) and were introduced to the amenities of the hotel and personally shown to our room at 101…

Entrance to our room at 101 (not to be mistaken with Taipei 101 :p)

1967 City Central Hotel Tainan is built in 2012 and has only 19 rooms at its premise. However, each room is intricately decorated with art pieces and exquisite furniture which led us to be pleasantly surprised when we first entered the room…

Elegant and arty living space at 1967 Tainan

Comfortable and classy quilt cover and bed that faces the cable TV

Besides the artistically decorated room, the bathroom is also clean and equipped with towels, toiletries and towels. The only gripe we had was that the shower area was relatively small. Otherwise, it was clean (very clean in fact) and had all the necessary items that we needed.

As you enter into the lobby of 1967 Hotel Tainan, you’ll realise that the beautiful decoration extends to pretty much every part of the hotel. I guess this is pretty much what a boutique hotel is all about…

The great part of 1967 City Central Hotel Tainan is that there’s snacks and coffee available at the lobby 24 hours a day!

鹿早茶屋 A Popular Breakfast and Brunch Restaurant

Just across from 1967 City Central Hotel Tainan, there’s a quaint restaurant that is apparently very popular among girls and youngsters in the area. The restaurant is 鹿早茶屋 (lu zao cha wu). We also visited this popular brunch joint and eventhough we were the first to arrive at 10am, when we left at 1130, ALL THE SEATS WERE TAKEN! All 18 seats available! Yes…only 18 seats in the house so be early to avoid disappointment!

老唐牛肉面店 Beef Noodles Stall

If you’re walking towards 1967 Hotel Tainan from the Tainan train station, you’ll turn right at Weimin Street. At the corner of Weimin Street, you’ll see this Beef Noodles Stall – 老唐牛肉面店 …

How to walk from Tainan train station to 1967 City Central Hotel Tainan

If you’re walking from Tainan Train Station, it is only a 9 minutes walk away. Firstly, walk down Beimen Road, you’ll turn right at Weimin Street. After which, you’ll have to look out for this REALLY REALLY small alley, Weimin Lane 70 and walk right into it…

Small alley leading to 1967 Hotel Tainan

An additional piece of information that you might be interested in is that if you take a right from the lobby of the hotel, you’ll see this path…

Secret walkway on the right of 1967 Hotel Tainan leading to Shin-Kong Mitsukoshi Departmental Store

Following this path and keep to the left thereafter will lead you to the Shin-Kong Mitsukoshi Departmental Store or more commonly known as 新光三越.

To sum up, we take a look at our BASIC FACTOR and the score for 1967 City Central Tainan Hotel, it’s a 2.5!

B – 0.5. The Bathroom was really clean but was rather small in size.
A – 1. Although tucked away in a corner, the ambience really stood out when we first entered.
S – 0.5. All receptionists never failed to greet us as we entered the hotel. Although we would have preferred our receptionist to know a little more information about where we could catch World Cup ;P
I – 0. No swimming pools here.
C – 0.5. Bed was a tad too soft for our liking.

All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 1967 City Central Hotel Tainan because of its uniqueness as a boutique hotel as well as its excellent location. Given the price, it is definitely worth more than a stay. Do consider the hotel, the next time you’re visiting Tainan Taiwan!
