Unbelievable MILA Hotel Taichung: Your Dream Taiwan Getaway Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, because we're about to dive headfirst into the Unbelievable MILA Hotel Taichung! This isn't your standard, sterile hotel review. We're going for real, raw, and hopefully, hilarious. Let's see if this place actually lives up to its "Dream Taiwan Getaway" moniker, shall we?
First Impressions & Location… Let's Talk Accessibility (or Lack Thereof, Sometimes!)
Alright, the hotel's got this shiny, modern vibe, right? And they claim to be accessible. Okay, let's be honest. The word "accessible" in the hotel world often gets tossed around like confetti, but the experience is more like… trying to navigate a particularly aggressive hamster obstacle course. They have an elevator, thank god, but the ramp situation? Questionable at best. I mean, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I can see how it might create a few… moments. So, yeah, they're trying, but maybe they need a little… finesse.

Online & In-Room: WiFi & Internet – Bless the Internet Gods!
Thank the Wi-Fi gods! Because let's face it, a decent internet connection is a MUST in this day and age. And MILA delivers. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And it actually works! I mean, I could stream Netflix without the buffering blues. That's a win in my book. Plus, the Internet access – LAN, and Internet services are there just in case. And Wi-Fi in public areas is on par as well.

Cleanliness & Safety: Are We Talking Hospital Grade? (Kinda!)
So, let's get serious. The COVID thing? Still hanging around. But MILA seems to take it seriously. They're using Anti-viral cleaning products, and the whole place felt… fresh. They have Daily disinfection in common areas. They also use Professional-grade sanitizing services, AND you have the option to skip room cleaning while you're there if you wanted! They also have Hand sanitizer everywhere, and Staff trained in safety protocol

Eating & Drinking: From Asian to… Everything! (But Maybe Not EVERYTHING is Amazing)
The dining situation is… interesting. Let's start with the good: Breakfast is included, and they have both Asian and Western options. Breakfast [buffet] is your go-to.. They have a coffee shop that also offers a selection of desserts in restaurant..
The A la carte in restaurant gives you options. The big Restaurants offer Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant and the Poolside bar is pretty chill. They also have a Snack bar, which is great for those late-night cravings. You can also find Coffee, Coffee/tea in restaurant.

Relaxation & Down Time: Spa Dreams (and Maybe a Slight Letdown)
Alright, relaxation time! The Pool with view is pretty spectacular. The Spa is well-equipped, you can choose from Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Sauna, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Indoor venue for special events, Outdoor venue for special events. But, and this is a big but, I'm a bit of a spa snob. The massage… let's just say it wasn't the most life-altering experience I've ever had. But still, can't complain about the pool.

Room Rundown: Cozy, Comfortable, But… (Some Minor Grievances)
The rooms? Pretty darn comfy, actually. Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, etc!
But here's where I got nitpicky. Because, listen, as much as I love a hotel, I'm not a fan of extra fees! And that's where this hotel took the hit. So, yeah, the room was good, but the little "extras" just added up.

Services & Other Bits: The Good, the Bad & the Slightly Odd
They offer a ton of services! The Concierge was super helpful. They have Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange, Dry cleaning, and Laundry service. The Gift/souvenir shop is a nice touch. You could probably find a good deal of stuff.

For the Kids: Family-Friendly? (Sure, Why Not!)
They had Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal, which I didn't use, but it's always a plus!

Mila Hotel: My Taichung Tango (and Possible Missteps)
Day 1: Arrival & the Great Suitcase Debacle
- 14:00 - Arrival in Taichung (Chaos Ensues): Okay, first things first: the airport. Shiny, confusing, and apparently a playground for luggage goblins. My suitcase (Harold, we’ll call him) decided to stage a breakdance routine on the carousel. It’s a miracle the handle is still attached. Emotional Reaction: Mild panic mixed with the faint hope that someone else was filming this for YouTube.
- 15:00 - Mila Hotel Check-In: (The Lobby of Dreams…or Maybe Just Beige): Found it! Mila Hotel. The lobby is… well, it’s beige. Cozy beige, maybe? Or maybe I'm just tired from fighting Harold. The staff were lovely, though. Really, genuinely lovely. This is a good sign. Quirky Observation: The tiny complimentary coffee station in the lobby looks adorable but the coffee is…well, it's coffee. You can't win 'em all.
- 15:30 - Room Reconnaissance (The Battle of the Bed): The room! Okay, it's clean. The bed…looks tempting. But first, suitcase unpacking. (Harold strikes again! Turns out, it was not a good idea to pack that bottle of olive oil. Leakage EVERYWHERE. Strong Emotional Reaction: Furious, then resigned. This is my life now.
- 17:00 - First Taichung Feast (The Night Market Beckons): The hotel staff recommended a night market. Food! Sweet, glorious food. (Forget the olive oil, I'm hungry.) Anecdote: I got lost. Seriously, GPS and I are mortal enemies. Wandered around for about 45 minutes before stumbling upon a dazzling array of food stalls. Found some amazing pork belly buns. Worth it. Worth EVERY sweaty, confused minute.
- 20:00 - Post-Night Market Collapse: Back at the hotel. Stuffed. Slightly overwhelmed. Planning tomorrow. Or at least, attempting to plan tomorrow.
- 21:00 - (Attempted) Relaxation: Okay, bath time. Except, the water pressure is… lacking. It's like a gentle drizzle. Delayed Emotional Reaction: Sigh. I'm starting to miss Harold already.
Day 2: Temples, Tea, and a Terrible Karaoke Experience (Oh, the Humanity!)
- 08:00 - Breakfast Buffet (Carb-Loading for Adventure): The breakfast buffet! Okay, it’s pretty good. They had congee (rice porridge), which is always a win. And fruit! Loads of lovely fruit. Fueling up for…stuff.
- 09:00 - Visiting the temples: I heard the temple could be worth visiting so I hop on a bus and start my day. However, it turns out the bus I hop on is not so easy to get off of. I ended up going around for another 20 minutes. Quirky Observation: The old woman next to me just starting laughing. I didn't understand her, but I love her energy.
- 11:00 - Tea Tasting (The Zen of…Caffeine?): Found a tea house! (Finally!). The experience was… intense. The tea master was serious. Very serious. The tea was DELICIOUS, though. Like, “forget everything you thought you knew about tea” delicious. Emotional Reaction: I felt…peaceful. For about five minutes. Then I started getting the caffeine jitters.
- 13:00 - Lunch and the Great Noodle Hunt: Googled "Best Noodles in Taichung". Lead me to some place in the outskirts. Opinionated Language: The noodles? Bland. The service? Slow. I rate it a 2/10. (I'm a harsh critic when it comes to noodles, I can't lie.)
- 15:00 - The Karaoke Catastrophe: Okay, this needs its own paragraph. My friend suggested we go sing karaoke. I regret this decision. Deeply. Immensely. I have the singing voice of a dying walrus. The lyrics were in Mandarin (which I do not speak), the audience was sparse (mostly elderly women who looked TERRIFIED), and my friend joined in. Honestly, I think it scarred them. Strong Emotional Reaction: Utter mortification mixed with a weird sense of pride in being so spectacularly terrible. I may never sing again.
- 18:00 - Back to Mila Hotel. Feeling defeated. (Ordering Pad Thai to drown my sorrows): The Pad Thai? Perfection.
Day 3: Sun Moon Lake (or, "Nature is Pretty, Even When You're Hungover")
- 09:00 - Sun Moon Lake: (The Majestic Lake of…Morning Sickness?): Decided to do a day trip to Sun Moon Lake. Hungover from the Karaoke. The lake is beautiful, though. The hills are lovely. The air is fresh. I took a boat ride and sat back, feeling the sun.
- 13:00 - Lunch at Sun Moon Lake: Ate a delicious set meal with fish and rice. Got to know more people and talked story.
- 18:00 - Back to Mila Hotel. (Contemplating Early Departure): Thinking about my departure. Thinking about packing. Thinking about never singing karaoke again.
Day 4: Departure & Final Thoughts (Harold's Fate Unclear)
- 09:00 - Final Breakfast (Regretful Consumption): One last buffet run. Gotta make the most of it, right? Rambling: I should have tried that other dish. I should have gone to that museum. I definitely should not have sung karaoke. Ah well, next time?
- 10:00 - Packing (Harold's Revenge?): Okay, packing. Olive oil-free this time. Actually, the travel experience was made better because of the great people I met.
- 11:00 - Check-Out (Goodbye, Beige Fortress): Bye-bye, Mila Hotel! You were…an experience.
- 12:00 - Airport (Fingers Crossed for Harold 2.0): Waiting for my flight. Praying Harold makes it home this time.
Final Verdict:
Mila Hotel? Not the fanciest place, but it's clean, the staff is friendly, and it's a decent base. Taichung? Beautiful, chaotic, delicious, and full of surprises (mostly karaoke-related, in my case). Would I go back? Absolutely. Just…maybe not to karaoke. And I'm bringing a better suitcase.

Okay, spill. Is this Unbelievable MILA Hotel *really* as amazing as the Instagram pictures suggest? I'm talking...life-changing amazing?
Alright, deep breath. Life-changing? Maybe not. But seriously, Unbelievable MILA Hotel? It's a solid contender for "best hotel experience... ever, maybe." *The pictures, though?* Okay, they're good. REALLY good. But the reality? It's BETTER. My initial reaction? Jaw on the floor. We're talking seriously stylish interiors. The design? Flawless. Minimalist chic meets… well, something I can only describe as "Taiwanese Zen-meets-Instagram-influencer-dream." You know?
But here's a confession. I was also a bit terrified before we arrived. After all, there was this whole online booking thing, the language barrier (I wouldn’t say my Mandarin is “stellar,” more like “hopeless” as my travel companion put it), and the nagging feeling that things could go horribly, hilariously wrong. Like, picture-perfect photos leading to a total disaster. But guess what? No disaster! It was all fantastic. Except for the time I accidentally ordered a breakfast of pig's feet… but that's another story.
Where even IS this magical place, and how on earth do I get there without ending up in a rice paddy? (No offense to rice paddies, they just aren't on my itinerary.)
Taichung! You’re heading to Taichung, a city in central Taiwan, known for its vibrant street food scene and stunning natural beauty. The hotel? It's surprisingly easy to find, even for someone directionally challenged like myself. I mean, my compass points in “generally confused” mode more often than not.
Getting there from Taichung Airport? Taxi is your friend. Worth every penny, especially after a long flight. There's the MRT (subway) too, but after lugging my suitcase through Taipei's train station (another story for another day), I was fully invested in the “lazy traveler” route. Just grab a taxi, show them the hotel's address (have it written in Chinese, TRUST ME), and you're golden.
Bonus points: The hotel is perfectly situated. Close to a ton of amazing restaurants and shops. During my stay, I accidentally found this incredible *xiaolongbao* (soup dumplings) place nearby – the best dumplings I’ve ever had. Seriously. I still dream about them... which leads to the next question... food.
Is the food at Unbelievable MILA as good as the hype? (Because, let's be honest, hotel food can be…hit or miss.) And what about nearby options - are they actually good, or just convenient?
Okay, FOOD. This is a HUGE one. The hotel breakfast? Phenomenal. Seriously, it was a spread that left me speechless (which, for me, is a rare feat). Fresh fruit, pastries that practically melted in your mouth, perfectly cooked eggs... and, yes, even the pig's feet (which, as I mentioned above, were a *little* adventurous).
But the real magic? The surrounding area. This is where the foodie fairytale *truly* comes to life! Forget convenience; the neighborhood is a culinary goldmine. Street food stalls overflowing with deliciousness, authentic Taiwanese restaurants that made my tastebuds sing, and that *xiaolongbao* place I keep mentioning... I literally went there every day of my stay. I think I'm going to need a separate entry for just the Xiaolongbao experience.
Let's talk rooms. What are they *really* like? And can you please, PLEASE, tell me more about this Xiaolongbao place? I feel I need to know everything.
Okay, buckle up, because we're going full-on *xiaolongbao* obsessing mode for a minute. The place is called [Insert Name of Xiaolongbao place here, I swear, I need to find it again], and it's a total hole-in-the-wall. Dimly lit, the decor is simple, bordering on Spartan. But the *xiaolongbao*... oh my god. The broth inside was perfectly seasoned, the pork filling was tender and flavorful, and the skin? Thin, delicate, and perfect. You could taste the care that went into it. I swear, I almost started crying when I ate my first one. I went back five more times. I even considered cancelling my return flight just to eat more. I’m telling you, this is the experience that I replay in my mind over and over.
Rooms? Right, the rooms are actually pretty amazing, too. And that's the beauty of the hotel overall, it's a carefully curated experience. The style? Modern minimalist, which I absolutely love. Think clean lines, soothing neutral colors, and clever use of space. The bathroom? Spotless. The bed? Cloud-like. I slept like a baby (once the jet lag wore off, of course). The best part? The little touches, the unexpected amenities. Slippers so comfy I almost considered stealing them, and a welcome basket filled with local treats and snacks.
What about amenities? Is there a pool? A spa? Do I need to pack my own Wi-Fi router? And are there any hidden costs I should know about?
Pool? Sadly, no. Spa? Yes, and I HEARD it was amazing, but I didn't have time to try it. (All that *xiaolongbao* eating left me with little time for pampering, I'm not going to lie.) The hotel does have a gym, which I, uh, glanced at from a distance. Wi-Fi? Perfectly strong and reliable. Thank goodness, because I needed to upload, like, a MILLION photos of those dumplings.
Hidden costs? Not really. The prices are pretty transparent. Be aware that mini-bar items aren’t included, but honestly, the price is reasonable and there are plenty of 7-Elevens nearby. But really, the only potential extra expense? Those Xiaolongbao… you'll probably get addicted. It’s the kind of place where you go, and you just… feel good. And if that experience is paired with the best dumplings alive? Heaven.
What about the staff? Are they helpful, or just…polite? (Because let's face it, sometimes hotels can be a bit 'meh' in the service department.)
The staff? Honestly, they were fantastic. Super friendly, helpful, and genuinely seemed to care. They spoke great English, which was a lifesaver for someone like me. They were patient with my endless questions (mostly food-related, naturally), and they went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. They even helped me find that *xiaolongbao* place (though, to be fair, it's not hard to find once you know where to look).
They’re not just polite, they’re genuinely warm and welcoming. They make you feelInfinity Inns
