Howard Plaza Hotel Hsinchu

Most everything on the breakfast is great. The salad bar is really nice and has a range of yummy options such as olives, succulent leaves, cheeses, pickled silverskin onions etc. Also the coffee machine is decent, and the jams and butter are western style. The fitness suite is tidy and in good condition. The showers in the room was really powerful and the water was hot.

The fried processed meat on the breakfast instead of real bacon.

We liked that the staff were very helpful and friendly, there was always someone there for help 24/7 literally; and were always smiling. Their English speaking ability was excellent as well.

What could have been better was a change in breakfast varieties everyday. Yes there were a variety of things to choose from everyday but it was the same set of things to choose from everyday. Also by the pool, the water that's placed directly in front of the steps is a hazard to both children and adults alike. No one is expecting a basin of water to be at the start or at the end of a flight of stairs to be aware or mindful of it. My dad hurt his back and hips from that slip down. We also saw a little girl fall in it. Also Foreigners aren't keen on washing their feet in the same water everyone is using to wash their feet either. Its unhygienic and for me as an architecture student I saw many different areas where that basin of water could have been places to ensure their facilities be kept clean as well as guests being aware of using it before entering their swimming area.
