The GAYA Hotel

There was a construction site next to the building and we woke up early because of it. Not a problem though. The people were nice enough to offer another room but we didn’t think there would be much difference. I also hope that you upgrade TVs to the smart ones. Can’t do much for foreign visitors if the TV only offers local channels. All in all, we loved our stay. We really love the breakfast as well as the staff are really nice.

We stayed in a very clean and comfortable double deluxe room on the 6th floor. Bed was maybe a little hard, but still cosy thanks to the fantastic duvet. Our room had a decent view towards the mountains in the north-west. We paid the small extra charge for buffet breakfast when booking, and were satisfied with the choices of food available. Breakfast is taken on the 10F, and this restaurant has nice views towards the ocean.

This hotel is about a 15 minute cab ride from the train station. It's located right by the Railway Art Village and Liyushan Park (鯉魚山公園 or Carp Mountain Park). We were there over New Year's Eve/Day and were able to see the fireworks at the beach from our room, though we were jet-lagged so didn't make it to the city celebrations. It's a little far from the beach and forest parks (about 20 minute walk away) but walking was faster than catching the buses according to Google maps, so that's what we did. The breakfast buffet was good with a nice mix of Asian and Western options and included in the room rate. We had dinner in the hotel one evening; delicious dishes. The green vegetables were perfectly done and my carnivore child actually gobbled them up! The beds were comfortable and wide, and the bathroom was gorgeous. When we checked in, there was complimentary DIY craft opportunity (making your own drip-paint keychain) which was random and fun. I would recommend this hotel for travelers to Taitung!

Room: The room was clean, nicely lit with modern design, there was also plenty of space/surface around to open your luggage or to place stuff. I’m not sure if it’s a thing to have hard beds in Taiwan’s hotels but out of the 6 I stayed for this trip, only GAYA hotel had a nice soft bed! If our schedule were not so packed we would certainly have slept in much longer. |We were on a trip to celebrate our wedding anniversary and the hotel staff left a nice congratulatory note on the bed which lent a personal touch to our stay here. ||Location: It is walking distance from many eateries and we easily found 2 great places to have dinner and dessert. Tiehua Music Village is just across the hotel but unfortunately it started raining heavily after dinner and we did not get to visit. | |Breakfast: the spread was not super huge but sufficient for me. There was a separate counter for beef noodle soup and my husband got a bowl with generous portion of beef. Perhaps it was off peak season when I was there, but it wasn’t crowded when I had my breakfast.| |Overall: We really enjoyed our short stay at GAYA hotel! There were many cute and interesting designs in the public areas of the hotel which made walking around fun too.

It's a great hotel ,the room is clean , the bed is comfortable and the location is awesome, it near to the night market and also the tiehua market. Plenty of restaurants choices nearby. The staff are friendly and nice This is my second time stay in this hotel, looking forward to come back again after back from the green island trip.

Gréât location for This hôtel in front of tiehua park with full of events, evening food. Hotel has great pool on the roof however no food and drink ( closed since covid 2022) which is disappointing because there are tables and the view is amazing . Breakfast is in nice decorated room and there are quite nice choice of food and dishes. Some hotel corridors need to be refresh. Staff is very helpful and kind

I loved this hotel! They took care of all the details and everything was so comfortable and welcoming. Very comfortable beds. Lovely shower with toiletries. Big bathroom. Comfy robes. The rooftop pool has a beautiful view and they take great care of it. There is an attendant cleaning the pool and handing out towels. He was very nice.

Nice place to stay. Convenient free parking underground. Buffet breakfast was pretty good.
