Fenchihu Hotel

We stay here after visiting Alishan. It's not near Alisha, it's located in a very small town. One of the better hotels in that town, there is a small night market but we were late so by the time we arrived most shops are closed. They are next to 7-11 very interesting design and decor. Provides nice traditional railway bento boxes for ordering.

It's a pretty nostalgic hotel and a nice lovely place to visit. Most of its counter staff were quite helpful, esp we appreciate the young man with specs very patient when we asked questions (although not the other girl next to him who is rather blunt) Overall, we stayed 2 nights in 2 different rooms, one with a little wooden bath tub, which is cute! Their bento meal is a must try!🫰Hope the price is maintained for visiting folks to try them. Will recommend staying if the price is favourable.

This is probably the most established hotel in Fenqihu, when you’re on the way to Alishan, either as a pitstop to get bento lunch or as an overnight stay. The facilities are very old and dated (I think maybe 90s renovated?), I stayed in the Japanese inspired room so it was on a tatami and low tables. There’s even a solo Japanese tub for you to soak in. All good. I appreciate the multiple wifi names as the property is quite sparse so the wifi signal is bound to be terrible. With multiple wifi spots with the same password, it’s easy to connect and have good wifi. I don’t like that the aircon is non-existent that there’s a fan. There’s a dehumidifier because the room is very humid from the bathroom. I think a lot of renovations need to happen to make this place more desirable. The 3 walking tours are amazing, the guide is so informative and helpful, she takes really good Instagram content! She only conducts the tour in mandarin so take note.

Spacious room, a good place for transit to alishan Mountain next day

Simple room with excellent service. next to 7-11 and provides great bento meal. The ribs were delicious! Practically at the start of town if you drive or take train. But note there’s a steep slope at entrance to town if you are bringing luggage

Great location. Very helpful staff who helped to find me a carpool to Alishan, saving me and my fellow carpool passengers both time and money. Highly recommended!
