Can’t ask more ! Got everything I need !
Last minute booking, I was in the train when I use the app to book, I made a mistake, booked a male’s room, the staff fixed for me, I believe I got the best price in town $11 USD including the breakfast, is good location for me to take a bus to the airport next morning, Bus No.302 less $1 USD, Near by night market and train Station have a lot of fun even I just stay half day !

Budget hotel in quiet lane and convenience shops
We booked 2 rooms, a double bed room and a quad room. Location was quite good. Quiet yet short distance to convenience shops. Not super close by night markets, need to have a good walk. Non-smoking room for both but double bedroom had a strong smell of cigarettes. Room was spacious to open 2 luggages for double and 3 to 4 luggages for quad. They provides amenities. Toilet was okay. Washing machine and dryer would require for payment. Try refrain from using as its mouldy. The washing machine tubs havent been clean for ages. Moulds and dirts can be seen on the Water dispenser tabs. Breakfast was reasonable. Porridge, rice, bread, bun, some breakfast spread but no butter. Salad corner, a veg dish, eggs dish, meat dish and braised minced meat to go with porridge or rice. okay, overall i wont recommend anyone to go this hotel. Unless you do not set any expectations.

Great hotel in "old Taichung"
Great reasonably-priced hotel in a typical "old Taichung" neighborhood at 15mn by foot from TRA Taichung Station. I had a nice and fairly spacious room with city view (even from the bathroom). Nice buffet breakfast too. Just across the street is a famous local temple. Taichung Park is 5mn away by foot.

good enough place, great front desk staff
hostel experience was good enough, was used just as place to sleep. there was a nice big window near the bed, so i could see outside (thus did not feel claustrophobic). shower and bathroom is ok,what do you expect? location is minutes away from the Second Market, where one can grab some good local foods (such as the pork rice, radish pancakes, iced black tea etc). there was a nice large assortment for the free breakfast, although i was already stuffed from the second market breakfast and did not partake. the highlight of this stay was to be able to chat with the two wonderful members of the night staff (front desk) Elise and Ivy who had good cheer and were able to tell me about places to go.

Stay was overall pleasant
Bed was comfortable, blanket was nice and thick. AC helped to get a good night sleep. Shower facilities need to be checked. Drain was clogged and I was soon in a large puddle while showering. Breakfast was delicious! Hot and cold food! Overall good place to stay

Great place for a cheap stay
I booked a bed in one of their hostel rooms and it was amazing. The (bath)rooms were very clean and they had a curtain around each bed allowing you some privacy. You have to use slippers to enter the room and the only minus point is, that it would be nice if they also offer some for people with bigger shoe sizes like me. The breakfast buffet was amazing as you get the same buffet as the regular hotel guests. Huge choice and very good quality. The location is pretty much in the center and you are close to all your transportation needs. Highly recommended.

Nice little hotel cozy hotel
Taichung Kiwi Express Hotel - Chenggong Rd, is a nice little hotel that is not really near to any main attraction but are close enough to be able to walk to some of them. Walkable to TRS Taichung station and Yizhong. The staff that is very nice and breakfast is good enough. The room are a bit small buy rather comfortable and clear. If i go Taichung again definitely with consider stay with Kiwi Chenggong
