Formosan Naruwan Hotel & Resort Taitung
This was a beautiful hotel, we were so surprised at how nice it was. The rooms were extremely comfortable, with plenty of room for us to have our own space. The hot springs and steam room were a very nice treat. The breakfast was delicious. I would definitely stay here again.

Formosa Naruwan Galaxy Hotel Taitung
Grand Hotel Lili
Hotel Cham Cham Taitung (Caesar Park Hotels & Resort)
Everything is great except the parking space might be tight especially during the weekend. Also the location is good ( walking distance from the train station) but far from many main attractive points so driving may be a better way to tour around the city.
