The location of this cozy B&B is very convenient, just a minute's walk from the Sun Moon Lake bus station/Shuishe Visitor Center, jetty, restaurant and souvenir shop.

The lady owner (Mei Jen) was very friendly and informative, she sells discounted boat tickets as well as Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village ticket (up to 29 percent).

Room was clean and comfortable, Mos Burger voucher for breakfast was included in the price. Also, do not miss the sunrise tour if you are staying in Mei Jen House, the sunrise is awesome, the morning air was cool and fresh, Sun Moon Lake in the early morning was really serene and beautiful. Thanks to Mei Jen, it was a great experience.

If you plan to go to Alishan by Nantou / Yuan Lin bus 6739 that leaves Sun Moon Lake at 8am like us, then reservation is needed as the seat was very limited (small bus) while in high demand, the owner is very helpful, she can make the seat reservation for you.

Great Sunrise Tour and Comfortable Stay

The external of the hotel may not look much but the room is certainly clean and given the relative prices of the hotels around sun moon lake, this is one of the value for money deal you can get. 

Although this is home ran, the hotel has facilities such as hot water, coffee maker and various drinks and the rest is pretty standard, without missing items. You will feel the full range of service as good as any hotel. In addition, there is a "tour" here the owner can bring you out to watch the rising sun in the morning if you like, but it is early 5:30am in the morning. She would show you some great spots to get your photos.

There is 7-11, Watson's and even small gift shops just beside the hotel. Do get your souvenirs at these stores nearby because they cost a lot more over at other stores across the lake. 

I would definitely come book this hotel again when I return to Sun Moon Lake.

Great place and price

Mei Jen House is a really nice property with a lot of character in a good central location. This is located on the main road through the town, with lots to do nearby (lots of options for bike hire nearby, 7-11 almost across the road.)

The owners are very friendly and helpful, and even got up early to walk us to the best spot for the sunrise. Breakfast is currently provided in the form of 7-11 vouchers, which gives you lots of good options. 

Great place to stay in Sun Moon Lake

Stayed for 2 nights at this hotel. Our room is very nice and cosy. Hotel is well located to the bus station and eateries.

We enjoyed the sunrise tour a lot. We assembled at the lobby at 4.30am and took a short walk to ZhaoWuMaTou (朝雾码头) to catch the sunrise.

Breakfast was 7-11 vouchers where we can buy whatever we want to eat there. 7-11 is just opposite the hotel.

Lastly there is no lift in this hotel so please pick a room on a low floor e.g. level 2.

Nice room with sunrise tour

We arrived at Mei Jen House sometime after lunch. Thankfully, our driver was able to locate the place without wasting much time. As we were in a hurry to take the boat ride, we left our luggage there. Meizhen was really friendly and offered us information as to where to take the boat and the timing available. We bought ferry tickets from her instead as it was much much cheaper than to purchase it at the booth. So this is a tip for you. If you do book the room directly with her, she may throw in ferry tickets during promotion period. 

When we returned to the hotel after dinner, our luggage had been placed in our room. It was at the top level, 4th floor. I'm so thankful I didnt have to carry my heavy luggage up the stairs. There is no lift at the moment, but was informed, lift is in the midst of installing at the backyard. So it would be much easier for tourist next time to bring their luggage up. 

We were disappointed to learn, due to the renovation ongoing, there wasnt any buffet breakfast. We were given 7-11 cards to redeem for our breakfast, which is just located opposite the house. Very convenient. 7-11 has a 2nd level for having your meals. 

Free coffee, milk tea, hot water dispenser all provided. Meizhen offered us freshly baked bread for breakfast.
I love the welcoming environment of the reception area, where it is decorated like a mini forest and you feel like Alice in wonderland. There is tv at the ground level too, so you can watch tv and chat with the owner.
Free sun rise watching can be arranged with the owner, but alas, we were too dead tired to wake up at 430am. Such a pity. Was told that the sun was like a bright red egg yolk that morning. So you should aim to wake up to see the sun rise and take some magnificient pictures if you can.

We booked a quadruple room. The room was in pink, decorated with hello kitty drawings. Very girly, I like. The bed was firm, bedsheets, quilts, pillow were clean. Toilet was clean and toiletries were provided in sachet form for shampoo, body cleanser. Towels provided too. The room was spacious enough for us to open up 2 luggage. There is a wardrobe for you to hang your clothings if needed. Hairdryer available too. 

The only issue we had was, there was road renovation ongoing until very late, and was really loud and noisy that we couldnt get to sleep. No idea how long it ended, probably past midnight or so. 

All in all, it was a comfortable stay for us.

We might not consider staying a night in Sun Moon Lake, should we visit again, as by the time night fall, there isnt much activities to do. It was really relax and enjoy the cool weather and listening to some street musicians singing. Very very leisure. Not for those fast-paced tourist.
