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.

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😬

非常乾淨整潔～房間很大很舒適

尋找民宿位置一定要依照官網的提示，以免找不到 透過Trip.com訂房請跟服務人員說是透過攜程訂房、並也請記得紀錄自己的民宿預訂編號（非trip.com訂單號），Check in 時服務人員會核對 這次是5人入住樓中樓 房間與官網照片相符 房間、廁所乾淨，水壓很大、排水會有一點點跟不上，可以把水開小一點或是不要一直開著避免積水。 房間樓上的通風較沒有樓下好，冷氣也比較循環不到，睡樓上的人可能要比較耐熱一點。 房間內沒有桌子可以放東西，要使用陽台上的桌椅，陽台上桌椅可能有蜘蛛網或灰塵，使用前建議可以擦一下。 房間隔音如各平台評論的，非常容易聽到其他房間關水聲、聊天聲，並且是真的很大聲，當天住宿我們是10點就寢，隔壁一直到12點都還是很大聲我們才敲門請他們小聲一點。 民宿的環境生態、早晨空氣也很好，很適合邊散步邊看看咖啡樹、柑橘樹等。植物都有牌子可以知道是什麼植作物。民宿可以直接到福山古道，有時間可以走走。 早餐有葷食及素食，我們覺得飲品的豆漿、咖啡都算不錯。菜品大家最喜歡菜脯蛋，早餐可以吃得飽，美味程度算一般。

環境很好，在綠色的森林中，地方也很清潔，走15分鐘可以看日出， 晚餐就比較簡單，只有一款小小火鍋，外出晚餐，大約10分車程，到小鎮去比較多選擇，早餐也比較單，包肚就算了， 整體可以說不錯。
