    We were upgraded to the higher floor, but got scary experience of earth quake. It is just our luck!

    It is inconvenient to get out of the parking garage.

    The room is spacious, the bed is very comfortable, the amenity is very good, and there are plenty of additional suppliers, such as plates, silver ware, tea/coffee bags, bath robes, slippers, etc. Provided self parking is a plus even though it is a slightly hard to get to. Due to our special request, we got upgraded rooms without paying extras. The staffs are very friendly and helpful.

    Good option in Tainan.
    • Leisure trip

    • Deluxe Family Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The immediate surroundings of the hotel, particularly the main station area, are quite busy and somewhat run-down. The breakfast area would benefit from more natural light and is often crowded. Additionally, the tables are placed very close together in certain parts of the room. In our room, the air conditioning could not be adjusted to a specific temperature; it could only be turned off or set to blow rather cold air, regardless of the temperature displayed on the control.

    Upscale hotel. Friendly service. The breafast buffet is very extensive. Spacious room.

    For this trip, at Shanghai Pavilion, the options of dessert are comparatively fewer than that in January, 2024. Hope that there will be more options of dessert available at Shanghai Pavilion during my next stay at this hotel.

    For breakfast there are the dishes for Oxidental food, Tailand food, Indian Food and local Taiwanese food. The regular coffee is extremely wonderful and rare for most travellers. The hotel upgraded my room for awarding my re-visit to this hotel within 3-month. The Shanghai Pavilion is a very nice place to enjoy the food of Shanghai style; the process of cooking for the food of Shanghai is quite subtle & delicate.

    The hotel is spectacular. Just next to the train station (not the train station for the high speed train). Very clean, comfortable. Helpful staff. It has a nice swimming pool, but I have not used it... And... it seams it was built to withstand earthquakes, considering that I experienced the big earthquake here, at the 32nd floor :(

    The four elevators are still too slow and cause long waits and traffic jams. Room service is very slow (one hour waits) and speaks very poor English, ordering is a challenge (the food is good though). There's massive construction at the station (early 2024) so to get to the city center you need to walk along a frankly dangerous road. The hotel design misses the mark for me and reminds me of a parking garage. Food smell from the 10th floor buffet fills the whole building. All in all it felt like good value for money but a little quirky and rough around the edges.

    Big, clean and quiet room. Nice breakfast buffet. Friendly staff. Great wellness center (not cheap).

    Nothing. It's flawless.

    It's my 2nd time there and I will be coming there again. Can't imagine a better hotel in Tainan. Truly enjoyed walking/jogging through the area. All facilities are super well kept. Will miss it till my next time in Tainan.
