Family accommodation in Datong

I love this place. Feels like living in a palace in the dynasty era.

The hotel has a great buffet breakfast spread. It was all around fantastic.

Very friendly staff, a clean room, and a good selection of amenities

Great experience staying at the Regent. Service was excellent and very welcoming. Taxi service very convenient. Mattress seemed firm but I slept great. They were doing construction during the day a few floors up but it was hardly noticeable apart from the first day when we were napping due to jet lag.

Good

About 15 mins walk from the Metro. Note that Taipei has lights controlled pedestrian crossings everywhere so even if you're a fast walker you'll have to stop a lot The breakfast is good, the room is clean. Note that you can't flush toilet paper (my other hotel in Kaohsiung was the same), you must put it in the provided bin. This was my first experience with this and I was concerned about it, but in reality (a) it doesn't matter in practice and you get used to it very quickly (portable bidet or the shower to feel cleaner), and (b) it's actually true in a lot of places in Taiwan. In the early hours, the elevator from street level doesn't work. You'll need to walk up/down the stairs to the first level and then you can access an elevator from there. This sounds bad from an accessibility point of view, but to be honest Taiwan as a whole is pretty inaccessible due to steps between shops. It's like the entire country is a staircase.
