Wonderful rooms and masterful service. Great breakfast and a nice pool on the roof. The bar is silent and soft most nights. I will choose this hotel for my next stay i Taiwan. More

Stayed for 3 nights... great location for travel from taipei. Particularly like the breakfast spread, spoilt for choices. Housekeeping and frontdesk response were also good, typically for a shangri la chain hotel. Will recommend for those on holiday or business More

Stayed here for 2 nights in early April and it was the 1st time I stayed at this hotel. The location is about 30 minutes away from the high speed train station which is very convenient if you are travelling from Taipei or Taichung or Koashung. Took the taxi to the hotel and did not encountered too much traffic at... More

Stayed in Tainan Taiwan for two nights and decided to stay at the Shangri La Far Eastern Plaza hotel, as recommended by friends in Taiwan. Its approximately, 30 minutes drive by taxi from the HSR station, the train station near the hotel is not the HSR station so be careful when navigating on the map. The hotel has a large,... More

This was my first experience of a Shangri-La hotel, and I will definitely be staying with the group again. The hotel itself is nothing special: that bland beige so prevalent in Asia. But you don't stay at the Shanri-La Tainan for the lobby, or the hideous bar, or the just-ok rooms. You stay for the service, so attentive that it... More

We stayed here for twelve nights in February while we played tourist in the streets of Tainan. It was truly fine. Other reviewers have mentioned all the dandy amenities at the hotel so I will focus on the staff. We found the concierge, Sean, absolutely fantastic. Ask him anything about the city or the hotel and he will resolve it... More

Went to Tainan on a whirlwind tour of Taiwan by train. Not too much left of the old city, but still well worth a visit. Really liked the SL, views of city (don't expect anything too pretty!) but the Club level rooms great size, good wifi, and as well as access to the Club Lounge ( a tiny bit impersonal/dull)... More

Hotel overall We are in Tainan for 1 night only. While searching through Tripadvisor forum, we saw very good reviews on Shangri-La's Far Eastern Plaza Hotel, Tainan, hence decided to check this out. This hotel is just next to the Tainan train station. However, being new to this city, there is no prominent signage that the building is a hotel,... More
