Introduction
Located about 25 minutes drive away from the Taichung International Airport / Ching Chuan Kang Airport in Taichung, Hotel 7 Feng Jia (Hotel 7 逢甲) is a modern boutique hotel with playful, whimsical, attractive decor, but more importantly, is a centrally located family-friendly hotel. Targeted at leisure travellers, there is a distinct lack of business facilities at Hotel 7 Feng Jia, but its convenient location is a plus point.
Ambience
Ambience at Hotel 7 Feng Jia exudes a welcoming yet playful feel. Each level is styled differently, the central artwork piece on each floor is visible from the elevator (which itself has an embedded television in the floor). Modern, creative vibes here. The seating areas are thoughtfully designed, the colourful and eclectic furnishing is comfortable, while the sharp intersecting lines of light create visual appeal. The small garden is also good for relaxing on cool days.
Room
Rooms at Hotel 7 Feng Jia are spacious. I got the Deluxe Loft Room, which has a comfortable and soft queen size bed on the upper level of the loft, while a large living room on the lower level allows for receiving guests. The bathroom is medium-sized, clean, and well stocked with amenities. However, the small pantry is just decent, and I wish they offered international multi-plug adapters in the room. The wardrobe is also fairly small.
Food
Food at Hotel 7 Feng Jia is provided by the Buddy Butty Restaurant, the hotel's in-house all day dining restaurant, which offers mostly international and British English cuisine. That said, quality is an issue, their dishes are below average in taste and execution, and not very appealing. Range of dishes is limited too. The local dishes available tend to fare slightly better, but you're better off eating elsewhere.
Service
Service at Hotel 7 Feng Jia is good, but not memorable. Staff are friendly, and speak functional English, greeting guests politely. They're able to fulfill requests competently, and the housekeeping is decent enough. No complains about the standards here, it's alright, but also nothing to shout about. Minor quibbles though; the bar at the garden area isn't operated, and some of the porcelain cups in the restaurant are chipped, but still stacked openly.
Facilities & Activities
The facilities and activities at Hotel 7 Feng Jia are targetted for leisure travellers and families. The rooftop offers a casual lounge, sun deck, and game room with a foosball table and air hockey table. The gymnasium here consists of only 2 machines; an exercise bike and a treadmill. The balcony has a good view of the city, I personally feel it's nicer at night. Another plus; the Feng Chia Night Market is a short 5 minutes walk away. I would stay at Hotel 7 Feng Jia (Hotel 7 逢甲) again.
