Dosun B&B

The view from our room is amazing, the facility is also very clean. Good communication from the host BEFORE we arrived at the property.

It’s a lovely family run place, the hotel is super chill compared to the Main Street that’s a few minutes away. The rooms are clean, especially the washroom and there’s a shared balcony thing where we got to have breakfast and it’s so peaceful in the morning. And they have these adorable cats and free water refill station. And the family that runs it are very welcoming. I would really recommend staying the night here to really enjoy jiufen at night see all the beautiful lanterns glowing without the crowds!

Beautiful views and spacious room with balcony. AC was strong. We appreciate the simple free breakfast. The cats on the premises were very sweet. Easy check in process, rooms were ready at earlier time. Free water bottles in the room were very much appreciated.

We came by car. The owner sent us a long and precise explanation on how to park near the house. I kind of "learned my lesson before" driving to Jiufen, so I did not even need a map to reach the place. In the evening the area was packed with cars but Dosun has a small reserved parking place with 3 spots. We were lucky enough to park there each time we came back to the hotel. I had learned how to read "Dosun" in Chinese before getting there and there is a sign telling that these parking spots belong to Dosun. Perfect. This small parking is just above / behind the hotel actually. Only a very short stroll away and some stairs. In case all 3 spots are taken there are 3 other parking places you might consider. I loved the lush garden in front of the hotel. Beautiful. And the lazy cats. Our room was just next to this garden. Love it. Nice room, nice decoration. Comfy. Toilet / shower clean and handy. Bed was nice too. I liked the desk too. I managed to work the TV remote after some time. Airco worked perfectly. We could see the garden from the room. From the garden itself the view over Jiufen and the sea is awsome. The small reception is nice too. An elderly man was there each time we came to ask something. The owner (or manager) is a friendly woman, she speaks English, which is a "plus". My Booking reservation mentionned "no breakfast included". However we got a small sandwich (bacon/egg/cheese) every morning with coffee. We could walk down to the famous old streets from the hotel via a number of stairs.

It was surprisingly easy to find the Dosun considering all the smalls streets, stairs and alleyways. We arrived and welcomed by the hosts and they were very helpful in explaining what is available and where it was on a map when we checked in. They provided lovely egg sandwiches and coffee for breakfast. The room had a lovely view and was warm on the cold rainy nights we stayed. The beds are a little on the harder side but still comfortable.
