We were in Jiufen while Typhoon Krathon was still at sea considering whether to devour Taiwan. On the day of our check-in, my friend and me arrived late due to a series of unfortunate events that begin with missing the last bus from Taipei. Kevin, the affable owner of the place, not only stayed up to welcome us and give us an introduction to the room, but also updated us on the latest situation in Jiufen due to the typhoon forecast. More importantly, he offered invaluable insights on what to expect in the coming days.
Our ‘Deluxe Double’ room with bay-view was spacious with a comfortable bed, table and seats. Aircon, Wifi and water heater all work as they should. The water pressure was awesome and the TV had ample channels to surf. However, it would be better if the power sockets were located nearer to the bed. Mysteriously, a few small insects still managed to infiltrate our room even though all the windows and doors were closed. There are some amenities like a hair dryer and hangers, with a useful humidifier in the corridor. At the common area downstairs, there is a hot/cold water dispenser and a fridge we can use if need.
Kevin was a great host whom we can easily chat with and we’re glad we stayed at his place during our trip to Jiufen. Will definitely come back again when the skies are brighter in future.
