Jia Inn

Clean and comfortable, with a fridge, thermos, and a Philips hairdryer. There's also a water dispenser in the hallway. Though simple, you can tell they've put thought into it. Downstairs is a 7-Eleven, and Yonghe Doujiang is nearby, which is quite convenient. It's a bit far from Tainan Train Station, but still manageable. The only thing is the signage isn't very clear; the hotel is on the 11th floor of a building. Once you go up, you'll see the front desk.

As soon as I entered the room, there was a strange noise. It took me ages to realize it was coming from the fridge, so I had to ask the staff to unplug it. This meant I didn't have a fridge to use, which was a shame T_T. Also, the bathroom constantly smelled of sewage, and even though there was an air freshener in there, it didn't help at all. I even tried blocking the drain with a towel, but that didn't improve things either. The showerhead was incredibly dirty, and black bits would come out when the water sprayed.

I was a little worried because I was late for check-in, but I called and they told me there was an envelope explaining self check-in. The room smelled nice when I walked in, the slippers were soft and comfy, and the room was clean. The bathroom was a good size. The soundproofing isn't perfect; I could hear people talking in the hallway and doors opening, but overall it was pretty good! I'd definitely visit again.

Excellent location, less than a 10-minute walk from Tainan Station, even with luggage. There's a 7-Eleven downstairs, which is very convenient. The hotel is in the city center, within walking distance to major attractions like Chihkan Tower and Grand Matsu Temple. Check-in and check-out are fully self-service, and communication with the hotel via LINE was quick and clear. The room was cozy and spacious enough for one person, with all basic amenities like a fridge and hairdryer. Although the hotel is in a commercial building, the soundproofing was acceptable; it wasn't too noisy despite a tutoring center downstairs. There's room for improvement in cleanliness and hygiene, especially the noticeable odor in the bathroom. On the second morning of my stay, there was a slight sewer smell coming from the toilet.

The room was a bit small, and perhaps because there was no window, the air circulation wasn't great. The location is a bit far from the transfer station, but closer to the train station. There's also a market nearby, which is quite nice.
