Fude Lime Hotel

I read some of the previous reviews, most recent 2015, and I can see things have not changed . What I would say is as a tourist the breakfast buffet was a great way to start my day and after an adventurous day a place to rest. I have no complaints. The Fude Lime Hotel is old and worn but comfortable and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful but spoke little to no English. In the rooms there is cable TV with a variety of channels, hot water pot, fan, in room bath room. The FLH is centrally located to most sites, night markets (long walk), hipster Shennong St (5 min walk) and the train station( Short bus or taxi ride @$3.00 -$4.00) Bicycles are available . The HSR station is much further away but a free shuttle from the HSR takes you to the University stop that was then a $3.00 taxi ride to the FLH.) I booked thru Booking.Com and used the email property feature to ask the FLH how best to get to the hotel from the HSR. After the 3rd try I gave up. Thankfully the Tainan HSR customer service info desk answered all my question upon arrival. The breakfast buffet was great. It consisted of 5 entrees, braised tofu in a rich beef broth (OH SO GOOD), noodle, egg, vegetable, rice porridge with all the sweet/sour/salty additives, Ham, buns, toast, juice, good coffee and tea. Non -smokers take note. Be clear that you want a non-smoking room when making your reservation and again at check in. Apparently floors 6 and higher are non-smoking. Unknowingly I was put in a smoking room 5th floor and immediately requested a change. For the price that included the breakfast the FLH is a good deal.
