HiONE Gallery Hotel Taichung

入住前電話確認訂房，我覺得很ok,但是打來2次，名字還叫錯，飯店表示不同房間不同訂單，那一次訂3間房要確認3次?覺得不太效率而且一直打來。
其中一間空調壞了，一開始先給我們風扇說不涼再換，後來有給換房間但整個體驗很不好。

停車很方便，乾淨。

服務態度良好,雖是老飯店但舒適整潔.....

This is an old hotel that has recently (probably last year) changed management and gotten a new name. The new owner might have done up the lobby and the 2nd level and also put some "artsy" touch to the common areas, but most parts of the hotel have probably not been refreshed.

The hotel is located in a boring neighbourhood, with nothing of interest nearby: there wasn't any shopping area, parks, places of interest, etc. There are some supermart nearby, and lots of local food shops in the area, though.

The check-in process was smooth, and the stuff I encountered were friendly.

I had a room near the top floor. While taking the elevator up, I was surprised that the elevator travelled fast (perhaps they have upgraded the elevator).

The room was very spacious; I've found that older hotels tended to have larger rooms. The room retained everything from the previous management, even the tissue paper holder had the previous hotel's name printed on it. The decor was old style, dark maroon-coloured furniture, very 70's or 80's feel. The carpet looks old, worn out, and somewhat dirty at certain area.

Lighting wasn't adequate in the room. There wasn't any ceiling light (other than at the entrance), and lighting was provided mainly by a lamp at the desk, on one side of the bed, and a standing lamp; In fact, the bathroom was the brightest area in the room.

The bathroom has a large window looking out to the room, so anyone in the room gets a full view of the bathroom (I could never understand why so many hotels in Taiwan like to put a big window at the bathroom. Even though there was a blind that could be lowered, the whole setup still felt weird.) This also means that the light from the bathroom helped to make the room brighter.

There was a flat screen TV (not a CRT, which was good), but the reception wasn't very good: many of the channels had noisy pictures.

There was a safe in the wardrobe, and one large enough to place a 15-inch notebook computer within (plus point!). However, the safe wasn't bolted to the floor or the wall, which meant anyone could just carry the safe and walk away (minus point!).

The view outside the room was good (after all, I was on a high floor), and I can even see the nearby mountains to the east.

Breakfast starts at 6:30 am, which is earlier than many other Taiwanese hotels I've stayed in (some start as late as 7:30 am!) The breakfast spread was surprisingly good with quite a variety of dishes, though most dishes were still Chinese-style. The food selection didn't seem to change from day to day, though.

The hotel has a gym on the 6th floor; however, you have to get to it from the 7th floor. They have a really old treadmill, elliptical trainer, exercise bike, and other equipment. The treadmill was old and didn't function well: if you choose the manual program and didn't adjust any settings, it worked; otherwise, the machine resets itself every now and then which was a pain to use. I used the gym multiple times during my stay, but have not met other hotel guest using it; perhaps the gym wasn't well used.

The hotel provides free laundry service, apparently to a certain category of guests. Each day, I could send 5 items of clothing for washing: I just need to put them in a hotel-provided bag, fill in a form, send it to the front desk before 10 am, and they will send the washed, dried, folded, items back to the room in the afternoon. While the hotel has a laundromat (which you'd have to pay to use the washer and dryer), this free service was convenient; as long as I plan my washings carefully.

Internet access speed was adequate: I measured download speed of 4.88Mbps. In comparison, the download speed on my 4G mobile phone was above 130Mbps! However, the wifi wasn't stable: my computer got disconnected every now and then.

A minor annoyance, though, was that the hotel takes in tour groups from a neighbouring country. These guests were loud and inconsiderate, they would talk loudly outside the hallway late at night and early in the morning as if the whole place belongs to them. Breakfast time felt like a war zone, as they scrambled to grab food, talked loudly and even shouted across the dining hall!

Overall, I would rate this stay as average. I wouldn't mind staying here as it was near to the place I had meetings. If I were on vacation, I would have chosen a better location. Additionally, I would have preferred a hotel that doesn't cater to tour groups from the neighbouring country, so I don't have to put up with their annoying behaviour.

飯店名稱改了，換人做看看，但也只舊瓶換裝吧了!
飯店舊結構體，隔音效果不佳問題難解，且衛浴僅唯一浴缸用，無法乾濕兩用.停車格依舊窄小，如能重新規劃感受將不一樣喔！存著很大改善空間，業者須多加用心囉！

舊飯店拉皮，很有心，交通方便，離逢甲、台中公園很近。缺點是房內充電孔太少

飯店非常老舊，跟照片不符，也不是很乾淨，早餐的食物很油。整個房間竟然沒有一個插頭，需要拉開床墊找/拔掉座地燈的插頭來用，等於要插頭就沒有電燈照明。不能接受!

房間設備雖然比較陳舊
但服務蠻用心的，早餐供應也很多元化

除了隔音稍差外，其餘都很好！

預訂了2張單身床的標準客房, 網站上的相片存在誤導成分, 房間很小, 房間資料表示房間有700呎(65坪), 但現實只有100-200呎(台灣的10坪), 現實房間呎吋資料是前台員工提供的, 他們亦承認房間大小與房間現實不符, 所以預訂時要考慮清楚性價比方面確實很低, 房間壞了空調需要轉房時, 行李很多的情況下, 員工亦沒有任何協助, 整體感覺都不好, 不會再入住

一個商務出差

太老舊的飯店，隔音不良

房間太老舊 早餐不優

Very spacious quadruple room with great city view. The room smelled musty and somewhat moldy though, and it was impossible to open the window. The air-con did not work well; I think they set the temperature quite high, and it felt like ventilation only, so it was hot during our stay. I called the reception but they said they could do nothing about it..... Nice buffet breakfast (mainly Chinese, with some Western items) served at 2nd-floor Chinese restaurant. We had stayed in this hotel and really loved it when breakfast was served at the lovely ground-floor cafe -- that was fantastic. But for this time, that place was under some renovation. The hotel is a somewhat aging landmark, and renovation seems to be carred out little by little. The spa and fitness area urgently needs updating.

原本預定的是兩張單人床的雙人房，一入住是兩張大床，我跟朋友都超開心的，可以大字形的睡覺。飯店早餐相當豐盛，很不錯。

Check-in, I asked for the breakfast stubs. She told me that it is not included. I showed her my itinerary "includes breakfast". She do not know their product sold per customer.

Breakfast should be in 1st floor.. 1st breakfast at 3rd floor then 2nd time moved at 1st floor.. very confusing. And the food are more in 1st floor compared to 3rd floor.

I went to the fitness center 6th floor at 8 am... 6th-floor has no lights... went back around 9:30 am, still no lights. In other words, hotel directory and brochure are giving wrong information.

I have a twin beds and I want to put it together. When I moved the other bed, under the bed is dusty.

飯店整體有點舊，大廳有種難以形容的味道，客房一進去有煙味，隔音不太好。
房間空間大，高樓層景觀還不錯
