Tainan × Taipei Accommodation Review｜Vintage Enthusiast vs. Convenience Seeker

Recently, I visited two cities, Tainan and Taipei, and stayed at two hotels with completely contrasting vibes. Here’s my honest review to help you decide where to stay and avoid any disappointments👇 🌿 Tainan "Provintia Hotel" The moment you step in, you’re hit by a wave of "retro-modern charm"! • Design lovers rejoice: The room features walls adorned with dark green floral tiles, paired with vintage rattan chairs and modern pendant lights. The bedside lamp is even handcrafted ceramic! The space is huge, easily accommodating two people with 28-inch suitcases without feeling cramped. • Hidden surprises: The 8th-floor common area collaborates with Boven Magazine Library, showcasing walls of old magazines and a wooden spiral staircase that looks straight out of a movie scene! They also offer free Tainan specialty tea bags (winter melon tea, roselle tea)—perfect for a cozy nightcap. • Breakfast is divine: They serve freshly made "Tainan beef soup" (the broth is light and sweet, and the beef is incredibly tender)! Pair it with gua bao, minced pork rice, and Tainan-style tofu pudding, and it feels like a local breakfast market brought into the hotel. You’ll be full for the entire day! Summary: Perfect for those who love "cultural vibes + slow living." Staying here feels like bringing Tainan’s elegance into your room. 🚇 Taipei "Humble Boutique Hotel" • Practical advantages: Located right at the entrance of Songjiang Nanjing MRT Station (intersecting 3 lines), making it super convenient to reach Xinyi District and Shilin Night Market. The mattress strikes the perfect balance between soft and firm—I slept for 3 nights without any back pain!
