Location and staff were great. Short walk to the train station and visitor center. Good breakfast and drinking water stations on every floor.
Construction on older side but didn’t bother us.

When visiting the magical Alishan national park, there are very few lodging options inside the park. But being inside the park allows you direct access to all the trails and beauty. None of the lodging options, even the the Alishan Hotel, which cost $500+ USD a night, are luxury hotel accommodations. This is a 2-3 star property, and for that level, it exceeded my expectations.
We stayed at a different hotel during our visit 2 years ago, and I can say that the Maria Hotel is 100% better than where we stayed last time. Here are the things that we liked:
- The hotel staff is really nice, friendly, helpful, and speaks English very well.
- The hotels are all non-smoking, but in the past, that hasn't been strictly adhered to. This hotel was definitely smoke-free,
- The rooms look like the rooms posted online. We had 2 double beds and big window that let in a lot of natural light and from where we could see the trees.
- The beds and pillows were comfortable. And they offer electric blankets if you are cold.
- The bedding and room were clean, not pristine. Again, it was way better than I expected.
- We were able to pay by credit card.
- The location was perfect. Less than a few minutes from the restaurants and park shuttle, and a 5 minute walk to the train station.
- The bathroom had hot water and included shampoo and body wash. I've seen reviews about the bathroom not having a shower curtain and the floor getting wet. I agree that is annoying, but that is also very Taiwanese (having grown up here) and standard here. The water also dries up fairly quickly. And the fact that we had a bathtub/shower helped contain a lot of the water which was a nice surprise.
- We had no issues with the noise level - it is what it is like in all hotels.
We were in Alishan during a very heavy rainfall. I was worried heading up there that we would be stuck in our room for 2 days and that the room would be similar to the last hotel we stayed in.

Great location
Receptionist was helpful
Very thin walls/ poor sound insulation
Stinky bathroom
Have to wait 10-15 mins for hot water to come on before showering - this is quite annoying if you have kids and need to do a quick shower/ if they have accidents.
No laundry facilities
