Reloading Hotel

Taichung


Forty rooms and 10 backpacker cubicles over several floors across the river from Miyahara. The rooms are neat and compact, with white walls and beddings punctuated by paintings. The five cheapest doubles have no windows, while the most expensive ones overlook the river and come with a bathtub. The hotel is an 800m walk along Zhongshan Road from Taichung train station.
