Grand Banyan Hotel

The hotel just got refurbished and looks and feels super new and fresh. We received a free upgrade at check-in. The room had great design and a comfortable bed, with shower and bath separated from the toilet. Front desk staff was welcoming. Concierge was great! Location is perfect, plus convenient and free underground parking is provided. The rooftop pool was a nice extra (wearing a hair cap is mandatory). What we found strange though is that there is no bar to get drinks on the rooftop, and no outside drinks were allowed either.

This was a lovely hotel very close to the train station. The breakfast buffet was really legendarily big and delicious. The rooms were a good size with a very comfortable bed. There's a pool, but I couldn't try it because of the weather. There's self-service laundry machines, where you can also buy laundry detergent on-site for TWD 20. The staff was very friendly and helpful for my questions. The water machines are on every floor were convenient as well.

There was so much to like about this Hotel. We arrived early and asked if we could stow our baggage while we went to get something to eat. We were told this would be no problem and once our room was ready, we would be given a call. Ended up checking in early. Room was spacious even with a King size bed, bath and shower... the toilet was separate from the bathroom which is always a plus. Washing facilities on the 11th floor consist of a washing machine and two dryers. This is not a laundromat but suitable for small loads. Rooftop swimming pool and gymnasium are located on the same floor. Breakfast was exceptional with meals to suit every taste. Eggs were cooked on demand and the breakfast chef was an excellent cook. Breakfast times were arranged at check-in. Brunch was available in lieu of breakfast from 11am at a small extra cost. Staff were always available and ready and willing to help in any way they could. Initially chose this hotel because of its location but would definitely stay here again.

Room was clean. Furnishings were new. Excellent bidet. Great way to clean off after voiding your large intestine. The stream of water will stimulate a reflex and help you to thoroughly void. Just like mommy panda licking baby panda on the bottom and helping baby poop. Dinner was a great experience. Small dishes allow you to try many things. All the dishes were made with great care. While the dinner was not cheap it was a great value. Breakfast was great. Many choices and everything was made with great care. Hot and ice cold water available in the hallway. Staff was helpful with directions to key sites.

The room is very new, comfortable and clean. Bed and pillow are good to fall into sleep. Sofa is also solid and comfortable. Air conditioner is working well and can be adjusted the temperature. Hotel staffs are very nice and willing to help. Breakfast with many vegetables is great for travelers. Just 7 mins walk to train station. It is a perfect place to stay in Tainan. I will come back for sure.
