Across the street is Qingcao Lake, which is also nice to visit. 😄 The hotel has a heated waterslide pool, 😀 a ball pit, 😄 a kids' play area, ❤️ electric ride-on cars, 😃 and a nude hot spring, among other amenities. 👍 This really feels like a great place for adults to relax and kids to burn off energy. 😍😍😍 I'll let you in on a little secret: 💏 In the morning, there's also a breakfast party where you can take photos with cute mascots! 👏👏👏

This stay at the Hsinchu Howard Plaza Hotel included a room upgrade, offering a small living room, a refrigerator, and a microwave, making the space much larger. We arrived before 3 PM, but the room wasn't ready, so we had to go out and walk around, waiting to check in after 4 PM. Although the hotel has facilities like a pool and a gym, we couldn't use them before checking in, which was a bit of a shame.

Staying here again, I noticed the hotel's new renovations and ongoing improvements, which are commendable! From Hsinchu Train Station, go straight on Zhongzheng Road for about 6 minutes, pass the roundabout, and continue straight. When you see Zhongyang Road, turn right, and you've arrived. The location is superb! If you turn right and go straight on Zhongyang Road, which is right in front of the hotel, you can reach Hsinchu BigCity and Far Eastern SOGO. If you turn left and go straight, you can get to Dongmen Market, Central Market, and the bustling Hsinchu City God Temple commercial district. It's incredibly convenient for transportation, enjoying traditional famous snacks, and shopping. The guest rooms are spacious and comfortable, featuring a washlet toilet, a separate shower and bathtub with safety grab bars, and eye-friendly reading lights on both sides of the bed. The bed and pillows are clean and soft, ensuring a good night's sleep.

Amazing! The room was much more spacious than I expected, with a clean and minimalist design. The entire sofa set was very relaxing! The front desk staff were very friendly and helped me carry my luggage upstairs! Breakfast: The taste was good, but unfortunately, there were limited options. Hotel location: In the bustling district! Cleanliness: The room was very clean, which is commendable!

The gym is located in a makeshift structure on the rooftop, which makes it a bit stuffy, and there isn't much equipment. Two out of the three treadmills were broken. If you park in the designated area, the hotel offers a parking subsidy of up to $260. We parked for 18 hours and didn't have to pay anything ourselves. The breakfast was excellent, even comparable to the one we had the night before at the Hsinchu Howard Plaza.

The service was excellent, and the location was very convenient. However, the underground parking was quite inconvenient, as it required manual guidance for entry and exit, and we also had to go to the counter to get our parking ticket stamped. The parking spaces were also divided by vehicle size, and smaller cars were assigned to difficult-to-park spots. I hope improvements can be made to the parking area, and that a license plate recognition system can be implemented for guests to enter and exit freely.

This was my first stay, and I was quite satisfied. The room was clean, and the surrounding area has great amenities. You can walk to Chenghuang Temple in just a few minutes. Although the hotel's parking spaces are limited, they do partner with nearby parking lots, allowing you to offset the parking fees. While the room rate isn't low, it's definitely worth recommending.

We traveled on the day Super Typhoon Bavi was affecting Taiwan, so we were very grateful that our Taiwan High Speed Rail trip still operated safely and wasn't canceled. It gave us peace of mind and allowed us to continue our travel plans without major disruptions.
Booking through Klook was seamless, and redeeming our tickets was quick and easy. The train was clean, comfortable, spacious, and departed on time despite the weather. The stations were well organized with clear signs, making it easy for first-time visitors like us to navigate.
Traveling from Taipei to Kaohsiung was smooth, fast, and stress-free. We're truly thankful to the THSR team for their professionalism and commitment to passenger safety. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Taiwan!

Traveling from Hsinchu to Taoyuan Airport is very convenient. The ride is comfortable and smooth, and the schedule is well-suited for travelers catching a flight. Compared to driving yourself, you don't have to worry about parking or transportation connections, and handling luggage is quite easy. Overall, this is a practical and time-saving transportation option, highly recommended for both leisure and business travel. Whenever I need to travel to and from Taoyuan Airport in the future, I will definitely consider booking again. Highly recommended for travelers departing from Hsinchu!

General info
What to know before visiting Hsinchu
What to do in Hsinchu year-round
Hsinchu’s top activities centre on Massages, Zoos & aquariums and Events & shows, with Playgrounds and Cultural experiences also showing up in bookings. Klook booking data shows demand peaks in September and August, while February and May are noticeably quieter, so the city’s rhythm swings between lively late-summer atmosphere and much calmer early-year months. Choose activities like relaxing massages or family-friendly zoo visits when demand is lower to avoid crowds, or plan for late-summer festivals and events if you want the busiest local vibe. Decide whether you prefer a lively festival season or a more relaxed visit.
Best months to visit Hsinchu
Klook booking data shows peak demand in September and a strong secondary peak in August, while February is the quietest month of the year. Hotel and experience prices drift through the year: typical prices are lowest in June and highest in January, so demand and prices sometimes align (August–September is busy with moderately high prices) and sometimes diverge (June is much cheaper despite quieter demand). For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider June or the quieter winter months; for peak-season atmosphere, aim for August–September.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Busier than usual | PHP 2,606 |
| February | Very quiet | PHP 3,865 |
| March | About average | PHP 3,092 |
| April | Busier than usual | PHP 2,735 |
| May | Very quiet | PHP 2,438 |
| June | Quieter than usual | PHP 654 |
| July | Quieter than usual | PHP 3,211 |
| August | Peak demand | PHP 2,260 |
| September | Peak demand | PHP 2,319 |
| October | Quieter than usual | PHP 2,022 |
| November | Busier than usual | PHP 2,676 |
| December | About average | PHP 2,081 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Where to stay in Hsinchu
Klook booking data shows North District as the most affordable typical nightly option at around PHP 4,638, while East District sits at the priciest end with about PHP 7,195; the typical gap between them is roughly 36%. The more affordable North District suits travellers who prioritise saving on accommodation and want simple, budget-friendly stays, while East District’s higher rates tend to suit travellers seeking more premium or upmarket hotel choices. Xiangshan sits between those extremes for people wanting a middle ground. Choose between budget convenience and a pricier, more polished stay.
Tips for travellers from the Philippines
Most bookings on Klook are made very close to travel dates, with travellers typically booking experiences a day or two ahead, while the earliest planners secure things about 30 days out (platform-wide fallback data). If you need flexibility, Hsinchu lets you book late, but during the August–September peak months it pays to plan earlier and lock popular experiences. Use Klook to compare typical prices and secure the options you want—book a bit ahead for high-demand dates, or grab last-minute deals on quieter days. Klook booking data underpins these patterns and can help time your bookings.
