The hotel itself is very cute. Room is simply decorated but has all you need. Breakfast is delicious - we had 3 out of the 4 options and all were good. You do need to select specific time for breakfast as the space is limited. Hotel location is convenient and easy access to most places. Only downside is the water pressure for shower was a bit weak.

Cleanliness is top notched. Room is big. Some basic necessities could be requested during the stay. Concierge speaks good English and is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. There are many eateries around the hotel and some tourist spots are within walking distance. 1 night stay on a Sunday night cost about USD50 and it comes with free breakfast for 2 pax.

Good location and room in good size, yet the wall is very thin where you can hear people talking on the street and the snoring sound of your neighbor. Also there is only one lift in the building to be shared among the hotel guests and housekeeping.

A comfortable stay in the heart of Tainan City

It’s like falling in love at the first sight. Since looking at Retro Taipan’s pictures on Google review, I know this is the one. It has a unique appeal with its combination of Japanese vintage and industrial design. Moreover, the location is surrounded by many attractions and delicious foods within walking distance. Above all, its top-notch mention is COMFORT! Spacious room, just-the-right-hardness of mattress dressed in a crisp linen, spotless bathroom with Japanese toilet & aromatic scented of shampoo and bath gel….free-refills of drinking water, delish breakfast & Mandeiling coffee..I can’t ask for more.

值得推薦的飯店

我在11月入住，房間十分乾淨舒服，感覺是剛剛裝潢好，空間很大，即使有三個大行李箱打開也沒問題。廁所有免治馬桶，淋浴間也很大，淋浴乳和洗髮精都是台灣製造的。送的小吃是當地著名餅乾，很讚。房間的設計都很人性化，唯一不好的地方是廁紙架在馬桶後面。附近也有購物街，如果是坐公車可能地點有點不方便，但職員也可以幫忙叫車。早餐都是前一天在前台預約，我覺得這樣比自助餐更環保，而且味道很好！如果飲料可以有更多選擇就好了。整體非常推薦這家飯店。

需要改進的地方

大致上來說很不錯，但是房間冷氣不涼，不管調幾度都沒反應，而且房間很悶。廁所也有化糞池的味道。 應該是最近才出現的問題，去年我住了同一間房間並沒發現這些問題
