Jiufen The Ocean Theory

Location is great - just 2 mins walk to the middle of old street, the unit is very clean and tidy. Bed comfort is average. Shower pressure is really good. The unpleasant thing is that we found the guy receptionist wasn't being friendly. Not feeling welcome and has his own attitude. I had vertigo and been vomiting since the morning we checking out. We asked if we can stayed awhile more in the room but was being chased out and asked to sit at the common area. That's ok coz perhaps I can understand the place could be fully booked. Then, when we waiting at the recep area, I am feeling sick and my friend ask if he can turn off the aircond as it's very cold in the rainy day at the lobby, he refused and ask if I can sit at the floor corner under the aircond. We ignored him and he has no choice and seems reluctantly switch off the aircond. Well, I'm sorry but this guy will definite give you an unpleasant welcome. Sorry but he is definitely not fit in hospitality line. Note: Picture is the view from the common area on top floor.

Homely feel and beautiful sea and mountains view. Right next to the jiufen old street. Be prepared for lots of steps though. Certainly recommended for couples.

The stay was excellent! Absolutely loved it! It was very near the main jiu fen street (just about a 3min walk) and the staff members were all super friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and neat. The common areas are so beautifully decorated and there's plenty of space. I love how they prioritised this and not just turn everything into bedrooms. Very thoughtful of them. Breakfast was simple but sufficient. You get porridge with a variety of dishes to go along with. They also have bread with butter/jam available. The stay is located on top a flight of stairs. Our group traveled as a family with 2 senior citizens and the flight of stairs were a little tiring for them. Do take note if you're taveling with those who are older or have difficulties walking. It isn't too bad, but can definitely be tricky for some. Overall, we had an absolutely lovely stay. This place is one of the prettiest out of the rest we scouted for jiu fen as well. It's a good pick and I would stay here again if I were to come back to jiu fen. Hope you find this helpful! Cheers!

Good stay ,very near to jiufen old street

Very satisfied and accomodating staff..

Small room but clean, neat & tidy. Love the tranquility overseeing the vast sea & mountaintop view. Excellent for retreat. Food was very tasty and healthy too. Staff were helpful with our luggages.
