Applause In The Mountain

If you are not engaging private transportation to hostel & using public bus then alight at main road. Do call in advance to get staff to pick at bus stop or else will be a long 1.5KM walk & not recommended to walk during dark or rainy day. The room are great if you stay lower floor. There no lift so all are by stairs. I stay at level3 with big luggage so imagine the efforts to bring up & down. Dinner option only hotpot & lucky the meal are great. The cafe within hostel are good so do try. Sunrise spot are good & easy to reach but depend on weather. do go early for good spot to sit down & wait since hostel Will always having big tour bus staying.

Great location. The rooms are nice, big and clean and has a balcony that gives an amazing view of the mountain! Breakfast has a spread of foods that remind you of home-cooked food. They provide individual hotpots for dinner - great for the cold weather with fresh ingredients (although the soup is pretty bland). All in all a great stay 😊

The staff were very kind and friendly. We had to make some changes due to Typhoon, the hotel staff helped us move to a quieter room and arranged a transportation to a nearby station to catch a bus to go back to HSR Chiayi station. We are very grateful for the help. The hot pot dinner was wonderful!! Alishan National park area was closed because of Typhoon, but we could still enjoy the trails near the hotel.

It's located at the base of Alishan, so it will take about another 30mins to ride up to Alishan ticket entrance where one needs to take train to the inner forest. The breakfast is not fantastic (coffee is really bad). For dinner, you will be stuck at the hotel (unless self drive) so you will need to order their hotpot set (they only have that), and it is at least better than their breakfast. The hotpot set consisted of a hotpot, a portion of shabu-shabu pork slices, a portion of mixed vegs and rice was free. Tsingtao cost NT100/big bottle. The hotpot set goes by per pax, and is not shareable, cost NT390/set. We booked 2-double bed room with balcony. While the room was huge, the amenities were few, and the bathroom smelled a bit stinky and the area generally didn't feel clean. The bathroom had a bathtub which I didn't feel it was clean enough to take a soak (plus it was really cold). It'd have been much better if it's a standing shower area instead of a tub. All in, I would suggest to book elsewhere or to stay in a hotel right in Alishan to reduce traveling logistics.

服務很好，老闆娘人很好 有幫忙載運行李很貼心 這次訂樓中樓住的很舒服 房間環境很乾淨

床還蠻軟Q的，空間還算大，早餐還不錯，因為住宿價錢與附近的民宿相比也不算高，房間雖然有浴缸房間裡雖然有浴缸，但是沒辦法泡澡，民宿的位置是有一點偏遠，但是如果開車就沒什麼影響，停車的位置與房間有一小段路要走，雖然民宿老闆會幫忙運送行李，但是我們都自己拿，比較大的缺點就是隔音不太好，其他房間洗澡沖馬桶的流水聲很大，如果不覺得會受影響，其實也沒問題。

民宿位於山中較隱蔽的位置，卻又離阿里山國家公園最近，不過說近也是要40分鐘開車的路程，而正處在福山步道上，所以安排行程時這些會是一個優點，房間方面二樓的房間有個向外延伸的大陽台，可以喝茶賞茶園山景，但是隔音是有點差，隔壁開水洗澡都很大的水聲，床好睡，但枕頭太高太硬，跟三樓的房間中床跟枕頭不一樣，早餐個人覺得很夠食，尤其是肉燥很讚，為了肉燥還多吃了白飯😬。 因為分開了兩張訂單訂房，第一天已有告知櫃檯人員，但她並沒有提醒最後一天是要換放間，造成我已出門到奮起湖遊玩，還要中途趕回去，實在很不爽 還好另一員工，有查看錄影，確認我是有告知好是兩張訂單，然後說對不起，所以就補回很多分數，不過櫃檯人員態度與處事手法真的很重要，希望能好好的再加強，不要令客人的好心情被破壞了 福山步道還有可以看日出的觀賞平台，沒有要上阿里山的，也可以有機會看到日出喔，當然也是要看老天爺有沒有賞臉😬

房間還算蠻舒適的，因為附近較沒有餐廳，因此住宿有提供加訂晚餐的小火鍋，算是很貼心的服務；住宿的房間距離停車的地方有段階梯，因此還有提供行李的載運服務；店家會告訴你隔天可以幾點去看日出，也有路線提供，整體來說是舒適的住宿，至於隔音的部分確實比較不好，但是不影響睡眠。

非常乾淨整潔～房間很大很舒適
