Ambassador Hotel Hsinchu

I can't say enough about this place. They make me feel welcomed from day one. The staff is very helpful so friendly. Same with buffet dining staff. There are so many places around here to eat and shop at. The hotel is between two train station, so get a ticket on jump on. You bikes just outside the hotel are easy to rent and a few different convenience stores. Want to get a cheap gym membership. Check out world's gym apart of the hotel in the 1st basement level. Ask for Popeye in Haverhill hook you up The hotel has a great lap pool and a small gym. I love how it's close to sooooooo to many places to eat for cheap to and food is fresh. Just west is a small park and a little further is a local market. Similar to a farmers market.

I stayed at the Ambassador Hotel Hsinchu for about 40 nights during a business trip from Austria, and it was a very pleasant experience. The staff were always polite, professional, and helpful, making the long stay comfortable. Daily room cleaning was consistent, with fresh towels and bed sheets provided regularly. While washroom amenities are not included due to Taiwanese government regulations, all other in-room essentials were available. The complimentary breakfast buffet offered a great mix of Asian and Western options, with some Halal-friendly choices as well. The hotel’s location is convenient and ideal for both business and leisure travelers. Overall, a reliable and welcoming place to stay in Hsinchu.

I travel frequently in Asia for work and have done so for many years. The Ambassador Hotel in Hsinchu, which was once an upper-class establishment, unfortunately no longer meets the high standards typically expected in Asia. Cost-cutting measures have considerably diminished the quality of the hotel. The rooms are not adequately cleaned, with housekeeping services provided only every two days under the guise of “environmental reasons.” The bathroom amenities are subpar, featuring only a single, low-quality bottle of soap fixed in the shower. This setup is inconvenient, particularly when one requires soap or shampoo while taking a bath, as it necessitates exiting the tub to retrieve the product from the shower. Additionally, the windows in the rooms are exceedingly dirty and poorly insulated. Guests staying in rooms facing the front of the hotel are often disturbed by the noise of passing trains on the railway across the street, which can disrupt sleep. The breakfast offerings are limited and of low quality. For instance, apart from water or milk, the only available cold beverage is a concentrated orange juice served in a carton. The fruit selection is minimal, typically consisting of watermelon and occasionally a small amount of pineapple or another fruit, but never more than two options. Decorative plastic bananas, apples, and grapes are used to enhance the limited presentation. Furthermore, the staff at the lobby have limited proficiency in English. On one occasion, I had to use Google Translate to communicate my request for a taxi to the train station. Overall, the hotel no longer meets the standards expected in the region.
