Overly priced. The bed is hard as a rock and the staff is not friendly.

This place was great! Super clean and convenient to the main road. They also had free breakfast! I think the only suggestion I had was to maybe mark the breakfast items for vegetarians. The front desk did explain to me which ones were okay to eat but my Chinese isn’t the best. But everything else was great!

Small and smelly room
Posted 4 Dec 2023 on HotelsThere are 5 to 6 rooms in the B&B, I found out later that I have booked the worst room, which is located on the ground floor with a very blocked view, no ocean view at all. The room is extremely small and has the smell of the water sewage when we enter, but the rate is very high comparing to the other B&B nearby in the same location. The view of the breakfast and relaxing are is very good though. The location is conveniently above the main old street. To be fair, I think the other rooms are much better so this comment only applies to the smallest room

The Ocean Theory is a small hotel located at the top of Jiufen old street, overlooking the mountains of Jiufen. The hotel is cozy and stylish. It has an impressive gathering spot on the 2nd and 3rd floors - a nice end to a long day walking up & down the steps of Jiufen.

This was a great B&B stay that’s only a 2 min walk from old street. The staff was communicative and everything was ready on time. Our drivers had a slightly difficult time reaching the property, so be prepared to walk 5-10 minutes with your bags (although I think that’s standard for any place in Jiufen).

The room is OK, the seaview was partial and interrupted by some ugly buildings. No fridge in the room, the AC unit in the room was extremely noisy and old. Primitive breakfast (a toast with bits of egg and tuna, and cold sweet tea - they should ask about guests preferences). All public facilities are closed. The front desk girl was not parricularly interested in welcoming guests and didn't bother greeting us when we cam back. Insulation's is poor - you easily hear your neighbors in the shower.

Das Hotel liegt am oberen Ende der Stadt, man hat einen prima Ausblick von den Frühstücksräumen aus, oder je nach Buchung auch aus dem Zimmer. Der Ausblick auf die Bucht aus dem Bett ist wirklich sehr zu empfehlen. Das Frühstück fällt ein wenig kleiner aus und ist zeitlich sehr begrenzt, dafür wird jedoch auf alles Rücksicht genommen. Achtung: Das Hotel hat keinen Parkplatz. Man kann unten im Ort parken und mit leichtem Gepäck zum Hotel hinaufgehen. Mit Koffern empfehle ich den Weg nicht. Es kursieren einige negative Erfahrungsberichte, so auch zu unfreundlichen Mitarbeitenden. Das kann ich überhaupt nicht bestätigen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und erklärt alles sehr genau und ausführlich. Die Frage nach Attraktionen in der Nähe erübrigt sich eigentlich mit dem Aufstieg zum Hotel. Daher finde ich die Kommentare lächerlich.
