Jiufen The Ocean Theory Reviews

The hotel has wonderful views over the bay, it’s at a lot of steep stairs so come prepared for that but the staff were helpful and the stay was very pleasant.

The stay was excellent! Absolutely loved it! It was very near the main jiu fen street (just about a 3min walk) and the staff members were all super friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and neat. The common areas are so beautifully decorated and there's plenty of space. I love how they prioritised this and not just turn everything into bedrooms. Very thoughtful of them. Breakfast was simple but sufficient. You get porridge with a variety of dishes to go along with. They also have bread with butter/jam available. The stay is located on top a flight of stairs. Our group traveled as a family with 2 senior citizens and the flight of stairs were a little tiring for them. Do take note if you're taveling with those who are older or have difficulties walking. It isn't too bad, but can definitely be tricky for some. Overall, we had an absolutely lovely stay. This place is one of the prettiest out of the rest we scouted for jiu fen as well. It's a good pick and I would stay here again if I were to come back to jiu fen. Hope you find this helpful! Cheers!

Very satisfied and accomodating staff..

Small room but clean, neat & tidy. Love the tranquility overseeing the vast sea & mountaintop view. Excellent for retreat. Food was very tasty and healthy too. Staff were helpful with our luggages.

Nice location with a beautiful view and friendly staff. Very clean, and interior with modern style. Just a few minutes to walk (steps downstairs) to the old street. If you arrive by bus at Jiufen, it’s more convenient to have less luggage. It’s quite a “workout to climb up” the stairs to the location. Arrival with a Taxi is possible and easier. We traveled with bagpacks and had no problems with the small streets and stairs. Service was very good. We left early in the morning before breakfast time, but breakfast to take away was prepared. Thank you very much!

Very good service staff, delicious coffee

Fantastic! Staff were the highlight and should receive all the acclaim for why this was such a memorable trip. 10/10

I love this hotel! The view, the food, and most importantly, the service!

Easy to get to from Taipei by bus , i booked a sea view room unfortunately we did not see the sea ! As it was constant rain and mist - not the fault of the management, I would recommend to check the weather forecast before paying extra for this view . I highly recommend to wear trainers and bring a rucksack rather than your luggage case . As the location of the B&B is up a several very steep steps - we brought our rucksacks after reading the reviews and I was so glad ! Otherwise breakfast was Simple , location great . But a very touristic area - okay for staying for 1 night

Room is clean. Hotel is located at higher elevation. View is not bad.

Nice hotel and great services. The room a little small but clean.

The view is very good. Hotel atmosphere and environment was great. worth for visit again.

Nice cozy hotel right on Jiufen old street. Pleasant stay overall

Great little hotel on the mountain in Jioufen. Staff were super nice and easy going offering hints and tips for enjoying our stay. We stayed for one night in a lovely room with breakfast included. The room was clean and stylishly modern with a clean bathroom which I really liked. They give you slippers to use for inside so you don’t track dirt in and that really makes it feel all the cleaner. The location is great right atop the mountain looking down on the famous lanterns which light the steps aside the mountain. My package included a nice casual breakfast. Tip for anyone staying just one night, pack light as you probably need to bring your belongings up the mountain steps when you come with the bus and once again when you go to catch the bus out. We took the 965 bus from beimen bus station to joiufen police station bus stop which was only a couple hours with great views of mountain villages en-route
