Great Hotel!
The room was really good. The views were great, the bed was conformable. The bath was great. The only issue - and it's a small issue, was the shower head didn't have anywhere to hang, so you had to hold the shower head while showering. I would definitely stay again. The staff were very friendly.

Free parking at a short distance away. Some rooms offer excellent view of the port. As its operated as guesthouse, pls don't expect hotel level type of service and facilities. The bathroom is not very convenient as it does not have a shower-room section. Though newly painted, there are signs and smell of mould in the bath area. Otherwise, great value for money.

Weird checkin, please put my bags in the back if you are holding them! Don’t leave them literally out in the front.
But not a luxurious place, and the room itself was fine.

The host was extremely friendly and honest. She gives very pocket friendly suggestions throughout our stay. Breakfast was so homely and good. She even recommended us a driver to drive us over to Taichung. We really enjoyed her hospitality the most (:

The hotel is run by a kind older couple. I wound up entering the wrong hotel with a similar name and the older gentleman came out and escorted me to the correct place on the back of his motorcycle! Downside is that I think they insist the bath soap doubles as hand soap so there is only one container of soap in the bathroom. Decor is a bit dated but this is common in this area.

The room we booked said lake view but it is rather partial and not very satisfactory. Anyway owner and staff is helpful and willing to move us to a slightly better room next day. Still finding the price not justified for the view. It is also a rather old building although rooms are renovated. Great location, right at lake front with many small shops around.

2/10 Poor

Very bad hotel! We booked a Design Room, but the actual condition of the room was nothing like the photos shown online. The overall hygiene of the room was extremely poor — the mattress and bedding felt sticky, like a short-stay motel, and the shower was completely unusable. The room was absolutely uninhabitable.
The hotel later moved me to another room. Although it was slightly better than the first one, the hygiene was still terrible. The shower, while technically working, had a fixed shower head that could not be adjusted, so all the water sprayed outside the bathtub, making it unusable. The bed sheets and bedding were also dirty and looked like they hadn’t been cleaned or used for a long time.
I will attach photos for reference. I strongly advise everyone NOT to book this hotel!

Above and Beyond Service
We stayed at Shuian Lakeside Hotel for 2 nights, and the hospitality throughout our stay was the best that I've ever experienced. Everyone at the hotel was amazing, most especially the owners. Mrs. Hwang, I believe is her name, was one of them, and she went above and beyond.
She was very accommodating with our request to change our room when we first arrived. The next day, when she found out we were heading to Wenwu Temple, which would take 20 minutes by bus, she offered to drive us since she was heading that direction. Later that night, she and her husband took the time to help us figure out which early bus to take in order for us to make our connection to Taichung Station. When we asked where the bus stop was, she went a step further to show us by taking us there personally!
The hotel's location was perfect — by the lake and in the center of everything. The room was new, clean and comfortable. And what a bonus, breakfast was included! I was very pleased with the breakfast, which consisted of porridge, eggs, vegetables and 6 other dishes. Bananas were also provided. It kept us full till late in the afternoon.
I enjoyed staying in Ita Thao, and Mrs. Hwang definitely made it special and memorable. I appreciate her warmth and kindness. If you're looking for a good hotel and people, I definitely recommend Shuian Lakeside Hotel.
