Applause In The Mountain

The best homestay near Alishan area. The hosts are very welcoming and they always try their best to help as much as possible. The homestay is located in a tea and coffee farm. Scenery is great value for money and they also have their own sunrise trail. Located hear Fushan trail and 20 mins walk from Fushan bus stop.

If you are not engaging private transportation to hostel & using public bus then alight at main road. Do call in advance to get staff to pick at bus stop or else will be a long 1.5KM walk & not recommended to walk during dark or rainy day. The room are great if you stay lower floor. There no lift so all are by stairs. I stay at level3 with big luggage so imagine the efforts to bring up & down. Dinner option only hotpot & lucky the meal are great. The cafe within hostel are good so do try. Sunrise spot are good & easy to reach but depend on weather. do go early for good spot to sit down & wait since hostel Will always having big tour bus staying.

Great location. The rooms are nice, big and clean and has a balcony that gives an amazing view of the mountain! Breakfast has a spread of foods that remind you of home-cooked food. They provide individual hotpots for dinner - great for the cold weather with fresh ingredients (although the soup is pretty bland). All in all a great stay 😊

The staff were very kind and friendly. We had to make some changes due to Typhoon, the hotel staff helped us move to a quieter room and arranged a transportation to a nearby station to catch a bus to go back to HSR Chiayi station. We are very grateful for the help. The hot pot dinner was wonderful!! Alishan National park area was closed because of Typhoon, but we could still enjoy the trails near the hotel.

It's located at the base of Alishan, so it will take about another 30mins to ride up to Alishan ticket entrance where one needs to take train to the inner forest. The breakfast is not fantastic (coffee is really bad). For dinner, you will be stuck at the hotel (unless self drive) so you will need to order their hotpot set (they only have that), and it is at least better than their breakfast. The hotpot set consisted of a hotpot, a portion of shabu-shabu pork slices, a portion of mixed vegs and rice was free. Tsingtao cost NT100/big bottle. The hotpot set goes by per pax, and is not shareable, cost NT390/set. We booked 2-double bed room with balcony. While the room was huge, the amenities were few, and the bathroom smelled a bit stinky and the area generally didn't feel clean. The bathroom had a bathtub which I didn't feel it was clean enough to take a soak (plus it was really cold). It'd have been much better if it's a standing shower area instead of a tub. All in, I would suggest to book elsewhere or to stay in a hotel right in Alishan to reduce traveling logistics.

謝謝店家貼心升等，山頭舒適的用餐環境，望向山谷那一邊真的很棒，以民宿的品質來說，早餐很豐富（滑網路品價的時候有人說早餐吃很差）我真心覺得見人見智吧！ 👀到好多好多翩翩飛舞的紫斑蝶❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 山裡頭生存運送都不容易，感謝民宿的舒適+漂亮山景👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻下回有空還要再來渡假🏖️

房間打掃得滿乾淨的，只是在山上多少會有昆蟲們一起同樂😂（建議在房內飲食後，垃圾拿到餐廳丟，免得長螞蟻） 從停車場到櫃檯再到房間，要走斜坡、樓梯，幸好民宿提供搬運行李的服務👍 有觀景台看山景、也可到旁邊的露營地看星星，身心靈得到放鬆跟療癒

感謝老板升等四人房，非常值得出遊住的民宿，山景非常美，床很好睡，房間很乾淨，下次阿里山之旅，一定再入住，真的很讚

民宿位置觀山景很棒，公共空間有許多桌椅，適合家族旅行，讓人會再次想造訪的民宿。尤其是看日出的福山古道，簡單易達
