Nice location guesthouse

The location is at its best to access old street and uber taxi knows it well as we caught uber many times during our 3 night stays. Accommodation is quite basic with small room, no view from our window, no turndown/cleaning service during our stay. Everything is clean and hygienic. If we have issues, you can chat with the manager in whatsapp, and they will attend pretty much straight away, eg. when our tv or ac not working, they attended rightaway. Breakfast is pretty basic but the stirfry was delicious and tasty. Their butter filled bread roll is so soft, melt in your mouth. Not much to do, i would stay 2 night max in jiufen.

This place was great! Super clean and convenient to the main road. They also had free breakfast! I think the only suggestion I had was to maybe mark the breakfast items for vegetarians. The front desk did explain to me which ones were okay to eat but my Chinese isn’t the best. But everything else was great!

Small and smelly room

There are 5 to 6 rooms in the B&B, I found out later that I have booked the worst room, which is located on the ground floor with a very blocked view, no ocean view at all. The room is extremely small and has the smell of the water sewage when we enter, but the rate is very high comparing to the other B&B nearby in the same location. The view of the breakfast and relaxing are is very good though. The location is conveniently above the main old street. To be fair, I think the other rooms are much better so this comment only applies to the smallest room

The Ocean Theory is a small hotel located at the top of Jiufen old street, overlooking the mountains of Jiufen. The hotel is cozy and stylish. It has an impressive gathering spot on the 2nd and 3rd floors - a nice end to a long day walking up & down the steps of Jiufen.

This was a great B&B stay that’s only a 2 min walk from old street. The staff was communicative and everything was ready on time. Our drivers had a slightly difficult time reaching the property, so be prepared to walk 5-10 minutes with your bags (although I think that’s standard for any place in Jiufen).

The room is OK, the seaview was partial and interrupted by some ugly buildings. No fridge in the room, the AC unit in the room was extremely noisy and old. Primitive breakfast (a toast with bits of egg and tuna, and cold sweet tea - they should ask about guests preferences). All public facilities are closed. The front desk girl was not parricularly interested in welcoming guests and didn't bother greeting us when we cam back. Insulation's is poor - you easily hear your neighbors in the shower.

今回2泊3日でお世話になりました。受付のスタッフさんはとても親切な方で、チェックインの説明など丁寧にしていただけました。 朝ごはんも品揃えがありとてもおいしかったです。食べるスペースも綺麗でオシャレです。九份は10時頃からお店が開店しだすため、早くの朝ごはん入手は難しくて充実したごはんはとても助かりました。食べ終わった頃にはお茶屋さんやお土産物屋さんが開きだしますので、ちょうどよかったです。午前中は比較的観光客少なめなのでゆったりお茶を楽しんだりできました。 九份老街から上に1分の距離です。 キャリーだと大変かもなのでリュックとかの方がいいと思います。 お部屋自体も清潔で除湿機が設置されていて連日雨でしたが、不自由なく過ごせました。 お風呂も水圧しっかりお湯も出ます。トイレがすぐ横なので気になる方は居るかも。 夜お風呂入って朝起きた頃には乾燥されていた為、私は問題なく過ごせました。 ちなみにエントランスに靴の乾燥機も設置されていた為助かりました。 次もまた利用したいなと思います。

I can stay here all day everyday

Sensible room layout and design, you won’t even understand how you’re living in a room this size and still able to get so cozy. Top-tier cleanliness, machines and facilities are all very new and highly functional. Public space has impeccable view over the entire area and is well-decorated. Plus, your stay comes with a breakfast!
