Holiday Inn Express Chiayi, an IHG Hotel

- Rooms are functional and convenient. - Short walk to train station and bus stops to Alishan. - Lounge area with many tables and chairs, convenient to eat food bought outside. - We could fill a breakfast takeaway box at the buffet when we left early for the Alishan bus. - Plenty of options at the breakfast buffet.

This is a new property located slightly away from the main town centre (where the famous fish soup and night market are situated) but that's an easy 10-15 minute walk away. Situated near to a railway and bus station, where you can easily hop onto a bus taking you up to Alishan, if you are thinking of heading there. The new property meant that facilities are great, the bed is firm as I like it, good breakfast spread, decent gym equipment, a 7-Eleven vending machine which ate up my NT$5!, air hockey and futsal if you'd like some entertainment. Kids will enjoy free flow ice cream, chips and cookies available throughout the day. The breakfast also provides takeaway boxes if you want to pack some food for your day trips too, although the town is full of other good food. Just across the road is a lovely hotpot place to check out too.

Clean, spacious and well-designed rooms and facilities. Large balcony in rooms, bathroom door functioned also as shower door. Love the design and interior decoration of the whole hotel. Comprehensive service and considerate provisions for guests. Information sheets with QR codes to Google map lists of tourist attractions and food places as well as hotel information were provided. Very family and children friendly hotel. Air Hockey and Foosball tables as well as cookies, coffee and chocolate ice cream provided for adults and children at level 1. Large lounge space to sit and chat with a mural of Chiayi in the background. Umbrellas provided at the entrance. Good breakfast spread. Very near Ge Zai Lai Turkey Rice shop and RT Mart. Free BRT shuttle bus to HSR Chiayi from bus transfer station. About 27 minutes walk to Wenhua Night Market. Would recommend this place to families with young children and elderly to stay in Chiayi.

Our recent stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Chiayi was excellent! The hotel is modern and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The staff, fluent in English, were not only friendly but also exceptionally helpful, making our experience even more enjoyable. The convenient location at the rear of the train station made transportation seamless, and the overall service exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Holiday Inn Express Chiayi for a pleasant and hassle-free stay.

It is nice to have the snack bar providing ice cream, cookies, milk tea, etc. free of charge. The location is good because it is near to the train station. The room is clean, quiet and tidy. It would be even better if the breakfast can provide more varieties.
