Tai Dong Jin Kuai Homestay

Điểm trừ: Location is on a busy intersection a long way from the downtown core, with no cultural features, parks, or interesting shopping nearby. Walkability is very poor, the few sidewalks are filled with parked motor scooters and storage for roadside businesses, so you're forced to walk in the street with the cars and incessant scooter traffic. Our room was right over the intersection, with the 7-11 sign right beside the window glowing all night, but the soundproofing was good. But the deal breaker for is was the septic smell. It came and went, apparently from the bathroom, at times just a mild whiff, other times strong enough to make you gag and prevent sleep. We would not stay here again for that reason. Mind you, much of Taitung city has wafts of septic smell, so it's probably not unusual, but we found it very unpleasant inside the homestay room.

Điểm trừ: None.
