Located at the city centre. Walking across is the Taitung Railway Art Village and the Fantasy Tiehua. A short walk from the hotel is the Taitung night market. Lots of food choices and shopping. A great spot for an excellent stay. Oh, breakfast was great too!

The Gaya was a gorgeous hotel, from the lobby to our room. Very helpful and friendly concierge. Amazing view from the rooftop. Conveniently located for a morning stroll at Liyushan or to the Railway Art Village. Super comfortable bed and bedding, and overall a great place to spend time.

Comfortable stay and will return.

Check in was very smooth by the friendly staff. Room was very clean and comfortable except for shower room which was moldy. Breakfast was good spread but lack of food warmer for buffet line thus cooled food was cold. Beef soup noodles from live station was good.

Stayed 2 nights at this property. Shower head broke and almost hit my foot. Not enough towel provided - there was not even a hand towel available, just a bath and a small towel. Only one treadmill at the gym which was broken. You can tell the hotel had no intention of fixing it as it had already gathered a layer of dust. For Taiwanese standard, the food at breakfast was bad. Service overall was mediocre. Given the room rate, it is honestly substandard. Not worth the money paid for. Extremely disappointed!

This was our second extended stay at The Gaya in Taitung, while visiting family. it felt 'tired' this time. Carpets in hallway a bit dirty, although I understand wheeling luggage along them won't help. Since our last visit, Taiwan has implemented no single use items in the room. And I do support this. On the other hand, the tea/coffee station was very sparse... 2 coffee bags, 2 tea bags. No sugar, no milk/creamer, no spoons. Maybe I could have requested that, but it was not a welcoming experience in my opinion. The front desk staff are nice but the language is a barrier as they didn't understand much English. I will say the bedding and duvet, and beds and pillows are wonderful! So comfortable. The floors have a nice quiet vibe and we didn't hear noise from any other rooms, so that is a huge plus. And finally.... as a few have pointed out in the reviews.... why on earth is the pool closed at the nicest part of the day when it would be nice to sit and read and swim?. It's closed from 11am to 3.30pm give or take 30 mins with winter/summer hours. It left us very frustrated after a morning out in the sun and heat. We did check out the Sheraton while we were there and may consider that next time, but overall I do recommend this hotel.
