My collegue in Taiwan selected this hotel for a two night stay with my wife in November 2007.
A very good selection. Great Staff, Clean, Good value, spacious. good situation. Good restrauant. I would reccommend this hotel for anyone visiting Taichung.

On a recent business trip to Taichung, I stayed at the Hotel National. I found the service to be outstanding, from the bellmen to the desk folks. I arrived in Taiwan without luggage (thanks to US Air in Detroit). The National folks worked hard to trace my errant bags and finally managed to have them delivered to the hotel. Much appreciated. Also, the restaurant in the new wing of the hotel across the street is excellent. I dined on both Chinese and western dishes there. Fresh and tasty cuisine! There is also an upscale Chinese restaurant in the main hotel and that is outstanding as well. The hotel was not crowded in the least. I think other expats probably favor the Landis and the other 4-5 star hotels in Taichung. That being the case, the National is a gem where all the staff knocks themselves out to make one's trip comfortable and accomodating. My only fault with the hotel was the subpar business center. The computers are rather dated and the printer was not functioning. Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay at the Hotel National very much.
