Dynasty Hotel Tainan – 4 Star
This quality lodging in Taiwan has a great location! From the train station, it’s only a 5-minute walk. I spent a night there last year and I remember the service was excellent, the rooms were clean, there wasn’t any disturbing noise at night (which is something hard to find in this part of Tainan. You won’t get busy here during the day and even at night, there are tons of temples, some museums, lots of food stalls and restaurants, as well as plenty of shopping opportunities. On the downside, there is no pool, but they do have a nice gym. Parking is available behind the hotel.
Look for discounts, make a reservation at this hotel.
Goog Ground Hotel – 3 Star
If simplicity, safety, and comfort are high on your list of priorities while choosing a hotel in Tainan City, then you should seriously consider Good Ground Hotel. I have slept there in the past and was totally satisfied by what I got. My room was clean, I had a nice bathtub, the staff was helpful and the breakfast was good. The coffee was just OK from what I remember, but that is pretty usual for three-star hotels in Taiwan. You won’t get too much in terms of facilities and activities at this accommodation, but as they say, you get what you pay for. It is quite close to the main attractions in the city.

Li Sir Hotel Tainan – 2 Star
This is one of the cheapest business hotels in Tainan. It’s alright, but won’t make you feel like you’ve landed in a Chinese palace. The building and the rooms are starting to show their age, and it’s located a bit out of the main area where all the touristic spots are. It’s a cheap place to stay, that’s all!
