Reviews of Ikegami Dapo Moutain Bed and Breakfast

Excellent breakfast, beautiful setting, friendly helpful hosts, comfortable room. Cash only.

This was the perfect spot for our overnight stay to allow us to spend an afternoon cycling (lazily in an electric buggy!) around the gorgeous rice fields of Chishang. Less than 5 minutes from the centre of town by car (owner also offered free pickup if we had needed it) but completely quiet and secluded with an amazing view over the valley to the mountains opposite. The owner was very welcoming, kind and gracious. The room was comfortable with all amenities. The breakfast was outstanding! Several courses served and our request for vegetarian meals carefully noted. We thought we had finished and then a huge fruit platter arrived at the end! So much that we couldn't finish it all... take a box or bag with you for leftovers!! We were also very grateful for a restaurant recommendion for the evening. We thought we had already decided where to go, but Mr Zhen (through Google translate) told us about a place called 舒食男孩 (Shu Shi Nan Hai) also known as Shushi Boy. This place was OUTSTANDING!! I think we were lucky to get a table as it was very popular and they have two branches almost side by side on the same street. We cost the 500NTD "chefs choice" selection and received several delicious courses and dishes. Including a drink. Best dinner we had in our whole Taiwan trip - I've included some photos with the tin review. Thanks for the hospitality Mr Zhen, I wish we had stayed an extra night! All the best

All good

This mini hotel is in a magical location overlooking the rice fields and mountains and is served by magical people. It was truly a pleasure waking to all of the butterflies, birds, and three (maybe it was 4) sweet dogs roaming around and the most diverse and intriguing breakfast.

Nothing

Do yourself a favour and spend some time here! Comfortable beds, best breakfast with some beautiful views. Host didn't speak English but absolutely no problem and was so hospitable with his time and knowledge.

Nothing myself or family didn't enjoy but a warning that it isn't right in the city centre so this might need to be factored in for some people.

The outstanding friendliness of the owner and their magic touch for serving up the best breakfast! What a feast!

Mr Zhen and his family are simply the loveliest people you could hope to meet. Very kind and welcoming, they could teach anyone a thing or two about hospitality. The breakfast Mrs Zhen made was incredible. One of the best meals I've ever had anywhere. In our 4 weeks of travel in Taiwan and Japan this was hands down the best place.

Don't be silly, this is not possible.

Upon arrival, the owner was kind enough to pick us up and drive us to the accommodation. We were given a free room upgrade and the room we got was spacious, clean and with a beautiful view of the rice fields. Since we didn’t have a car he insisted he drives us to and from the accommodation whenever we needed to go to the city. Our favorite part of our stay was definitely breakfast! We got to try so many new things and it was all fresh, diverse and very tasty. We really enjoyed our stay and the owner was very hospitable and friendly. We can highly recommend staying here!

Breakfast was excellent and the hospitality of the owners even exceeded our expectations. Wonderful view and very friendly dogs leading us for our early morning walk before the serving of delicious breakfast.

Ikegami Dapo Inn was one of our favourite stays in Taiwan. We chose this B&B as our second stop in a three day bike tour from Hualien to Taitung. It exceeded our expectations. The location (view) was absolutely stunning, the owner was very kind and welcoming and the room was spacious, comfortable and private. Breakfast was fantastic and we loved having the dogs around. The owner even invited us for a cup of tea in the evening, together with his son and daughter-in-law. We hope to return one day, because this was a slice of paradise in Taiwan.

Everything was great. The owner is incredibly kind and friendly and gave us a lot of good tips. The breakfast was amazing.

Nothing.

We loved everything, the location, the room and the breakfast. But above all, how nice the owner treated us. As the B&B is outside of the town, he offered us rides to and from the village. As our eSIM didn’t include telephone calls, we communicated via the Booking website and it worked perfectly.

The WIFI didn’t work which may have been an after effect of the recent hurricane

Perfect hideaway in the country.

Owner was very nice. We came in after check out due to multiple road closures along the East Coast of Taiwan and feel bad that we inconvenienced him, but he was very gracious and welcoming despite the inconveinence. Property was beautiful, room was so comfortable, breakfast was delicious.

Nothing comes to mind!

The family who run this B&B were so friendly and nice. Especially the mister who gave us many recommendations for sites to visit. The room was much larger than advertised, maybe 165sq feet? not 65. Location overlooking the rice fields is nice and quiet and the property is very cute with just a little bit of kitsch. Overwhelming, though, the breakfast that comes with the booking is amazing! We booked an extra night just so we could eat breakfast there again! Would recommend and hope to return.

There were some bugs in the room… mostly the centipedes or millipedes (I don’t know which) that I didn’t like.

Fantastic scenery, this bed and breakfast has a view of all the surrounding areas and mountains, which is absolutely gorgeous. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay perfect. They helped us get to and from the train station/city center many times, washed and dried out clothes, and put tons of attention to details. The breakfast is just phenomenal and worth your stay on it own. The presentation and taste is out of this world. We used this B&B as a base to go to Jiaming lake (stayed before and after) and took a day to rent bicycles and explore the surrounding area. This may have been our favorite part of the 2-week Taiwan itinerary!

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. The beautiful view of the mountains and the Chishang town makes this property special. The room and bathroom are clean. Comfortable bed and pillows. The Taiwanese breakfast is amazingly delish. The owner and his wife are lovely and very kind. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Chishang.

Nothing. It’s 10/10.

We had the most amazing breakfast of our entire Taiwan trip, preceded by a Herbal tea demonstration by the owner. Great location on a plateau overlooking the rice fields of Chishang, easily accessible by car.
