Choosing your base in Taiwan
Check the arrival station or terminal for each stop. Within a destination, compare the property with the places on your itinerary and establish any onward transfer required for a more remote stay.

Chiayi
Chiayi city is in southwestern Taiwan. Decide whether the stay is for exploring locally or a connection within a longer route.
Read the guide →Hsinchu
Hsinchu is a coastal city in northwestern Taiwan. Choose the hotel area around the visits or appointments that anchor the trip.
Read the guide →Hualien
Hualien is a city on Taiwan's Pacific coast. Decide how much time belongs in the city and which outings need separately confirmed access or transport.
Read the guide →Kaohsiung
Kaohsiung is a major seaport in southern Taiwan, built around a harbour sheltered by the long, narrow island of Cijin. Two metro lines cross at Formosa Boulevard and a circular light-rail line links the waterfront sights, so most visitors stay in the centre between the Love River and the harbour rather than by the high-speed rail station on the northern outskirts.
Read the guide →Kenting
For a stay in the wider Kenting area, choose the local stretch of coast or town first. The national park is a separate access question from the hotel's address.
Read the guide →Kenting National Park
Kenting National Park is on Taiwan's southern Hengchun Peninsula. Choose accommodation around the particular part of the park and coast you intend to visit.
Read the guide →Kinmen
Kinmen is an island group in the Taiwan Strait. Choose the island and local base together, then establish how you will reach the accommodation.
Read the guide →Miaoli
Miaoli is a county in western Taiwan. Choose the local town or area your plans require before comparing hotels carrying the same county label.
Read the guide →Nantou
Nantou is a mountainous inland county in central Taiwan. Choose the specific area your itinerary needs before comparing hotels under the county name.
Read the guide →Penghu
Penghu is an archipelago in the Taiwan Strait. Choose the local island and the arrival connection before comparing accommodation.
Read the guide →Taichung
Taichung is a large municipality in central Taiwan that runs from the coast up into the mountains, but almost all hotels are in the inner city, between the old centre around Taichung Station and the newer districts to the west such as Xitun. The single Green metro line serves only part of the city and buses do most of the work, so pick a hotel close to your main sights.
Read the guide →Tainan
Tainan is Taiwan's oldest city, and its low-rise centre is a web of lanes, temples and Dutch and Qing-era sites around Chihkan Tower in the West Central District. Anping, the old port to the west, holds the fort and the banyan-covered Tree House. Getting around relies on buses, taxis and scooters, so staying near the train station or Chihkan Tower keeps things simple.
Read the guide →Taipei
Taipei sits in northern Taiwan with hills on most sides, including the volcanic peaks of Yangmingshan and the hot springs of Beitou to the north. The metro reaches almost everywhere visitors go, so the real decision is between the older west around Taipei Main Station and Ximending, and the newer commercial east of Da'an and Xinyi under Taipei 101.
Read the guide →Taitung
Taitung is on Taiwan's southeast coast. Choose a local base around your planned outings and the actual station or airport connection used for arrival.
Read the guide →Taoyuan
Taoyuan is a municipality in northwestern Taiwan and an airport destination. Separate a flight stopover from a stay elsewhere in the area before choosing a hotel.
Read the guide →Yilan
Yilan is a county in northeastern Taiwan. Choose the town or local area first, then compare accommodation against the route you intend to follow.

Before choosing a room
Verify the room's window, bed layout and bathroom arrangement in the selected category.
Compare the exact room category, including bed layout, cancellation terms and the full stay total. Hotel photographs may show several categories. If a detail matters to you, look for it in the room description or ask the property.
Where guest evidence is available, use it to investigate specific questions about the stay. Read the supporting comments and their dates. A neighbourhood description cannot establish how quiet an individual room will be.
