Arabian Nights in Jiufen

Well situated.

Great location , easy to reach and the market was accessible. The owner was very helpful. We only stayed one night, but we wanted to stay an extra night. Its an old hotel/bnb, but very hospitable, tye rooms have been well updated. The views are exceptional. Breakfast in the morning was excellent and set us up for our walk up Keelung Mountain.

Budget room was sold on booking.com for 2 adults and a child, no way that it is big enough, fortunately the owner had a larger room available and we were able to use that.

Convenient location. Staff were really friendly and the room was simple but clean and tidy. It's on the main road so it was easy to hear the traffic but the location is close to the steps leading to many key shops and attractions in Jiufen. The bus stop to and from Taipei is also less than 5 minutes walk, making it a convenient stay without a car.

Spectacular view out the balcony Very big room Nice bathroom Huge beds Free parking Nice home-made breakfast

No elevator so be ware if you got lots of luggages Beds are comfy but pillows are not The place run by an old couple so be patient

Room is huge. Love it. Location is great

You have to walk up the stairs so be careful if you bring lots of luggages

The owner / manager was very kind. I got sick within a few minutes of arriving, and he handled the situation very well. Good breakfast. Good location near bus stop. If the bedroom was bigger, I would have given this place a 9. Highly recommend. Would stay again.

The bedroom was tiny. Only one pillow. I require two at a minimum, but I was too unwell to follow up on the matter.

Location

A little pricey

Breakfast was okay, similar to what Aegean Sea Homestay offered but not quite as tasty as the latter. The location was great in that the rooms overlooked Keelung Mountain and the sea. We can even see Taipei 101 from our room. There is a parking lot just next to the building which is great to load/unload your luggage.

If you stay on the upper floors, be prepared to climb a lot of stairs every day. The hotel owners DO NOT help you with the luggage so not great at all if you have heavy luggage with you. They do not clean the rooms unless you specifically request them to do so and leave the room key with them. They will close the main door after 9pm so you must make sure you have your key with you. This is kind of troublesome when you leave the keys with them for housekeeping in the first place.

The view from the hotel at breakfast was perfect
