4/10
The location of PAPO’A Harbor Hotel is excellent.. it’s in a vibrant area that’s perfect for walking and exploring. The hotel was fairly clean, which is always appreciated. However, the overall experience was disappointing.
The hotel felt incredibly unwelcoming. The check-in process relies on a QR code system, which didn’t work, and instead of keys or cards, you are given handwritten multiple long access codes just to enter the building and your room, a frustrating system, especially when you are tired from travel.The room itself was very small and lacked basic amenities. There was no kettle, no tea or coffee provided, and nowhere to hang clothes. Adding to the discomfort, there is no staff on-site at night, which made the place feel even more impersonal.While the design of the hotel may appear stylish at first glance, it felt over-designed with little attention paid to actual guest needs or comfort. The aesthetic choices don’t compensate for the lack of practical features.Pricing is on the high side considering the minimal service and amenities.More broadly, I found the late check-in and early check-out times common across Taiwan quite frustrating especially for international travelers. Being left without a room between 11 am and 4 pm, even when the room is clearly ready, just doesn't make sense. Overall, the area is lovely, but the hotel experience left a lot to be desired. A little more focus on hospitality and user comfort would be good.
