The instructor was very professional and attentive. I quickly learned how to explore the underwater world. I was always worried I wouldn't be able to equalize the pressure, but with the instructor's careful guidance, I eventually mastered the technique and descended to 12 meters. The only downside is that Longdong is quite remote, and there isn't much to do at night. The dormitory is also quite basic. It would have been even better if there were more dining and entertainment options.

I stayed for two nights at the Prince Hotel, which is in the same building as the breakfast area and the recreation center. The swimming pool and spa hot springs were excellent, and I enjoyed the mountain views while soaking. The beef noodles, sparerib noodles, cakes, desserts, and truffle flatbread at the cafe and restaurant were all delicious. The chicken soup and lamb soup at the observation cafe on the top floor were also great; I ate there almost every meal. I highly recommend it for a vacation, and I'll definitely go back again.

I can't believe I managed to book a room for under 4,000 during a long weekend! Although breakfast wasn't included, it's super convenient to buy food and go shopping nearby. Klook is truly amazing! Klook will definitely be my first choice when looking for hotels in the future. 👍 The rooftop pool at Caesar Park Hotel is shared with the adjacent Hilton. Towels can be picked up right by the pool, and bottled water is provided. The shower rooms and restrooms 🚻 are shared with the gym. The area is very clean, and the lifeguards are very attentive. Whenever I travel to northern Taiwan in the future, Caesar Park Hotel will be my top choice! 😊

This hotel is conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from the Banqiao Station West Exit. With self-service check-in and check-out, it's possible to complete everything without any interaction with hotel staff. There's a 7-Eleven vending machine on the first floor, so you can do your shopping within the building. Water dispensers are available on each floor. The soundproofing is a bit lacking, so if there's a noisy guest in a nearby room, it can be bothersome. I plan to use this hotel again the next time I visit Taipei.

The location is relatively inconvenient, but there's a bus stop right in front of the hotel, so it's surprisingly manageable even without a car. It's especially close to Nangang. Also, the batting cage noise isn't too bad, as it closes around midnight. The breakfast was delicious, though there were a few too many green peas in the scrambled eggs; many other guests picked them out too, which is a minor drawback. Otherwise, I was very satisfied and would stay here again when there are events in Nangang.

we’ll surely be back! hotel location: 30 to 40 mins away from the city. but if you want peace after a long day, this is the best option for you. 💜
breakfast: no served breakfast, but they have free toast bread in the morning + jam and butter! 🍞it doesn’t end there… they also provide free coffee, tea, soup, oatmeal, crackers, and ice cream! this helped us fuel our energy before doing a full day itinerary ☺️
service: 💯
transport access: 5 to 10 mins away from the bus stops. just a short walk with lots of stores in the area, including 7-11 and family mart 👌🏻
cleanliness: room is always clean and the linens smell good 🍃

The hotel features many artworks, and the guest rooms are quiet and comfortable. The breakfast is also quite good. It's conveniently located, about a 10-minute walk from Xindian MRT Station, across the suspension bridge. I have a small suggestion: it would be even more thoughtful and convenient to provide soap or hand sanitizer at the sink.

This is my second stay here. The first time, I stayed in a standard queen room (Figures 1 and 2). This time, I booked a deluxe twin room, and when I checked in, I asked the front desk staff if I could switch to a king-size bed. They immediately helped arrange a king room for me (Figures 3 and 4). The lobby has a water dispenser, coffee machine, and small snacks available for use. The breakfast is simple and delicious (Figures 5 and 6). The staff are friendly, and it's close to Exit 1 of Fuzhong MRT Station, with a bus stop downstairs as well. Highly recommended! 👍
