Though it was only a one night stay, Shangri-La's standards prevails. Breakfast was awesome and the bed was very comfortable. i would recommend anyone who is visiting Tainan to stay at Shangri-La. The room is very spacious.

The Shangri-La in Tainan provides you with a 5* treatment the moment you step in. The inside of the hotel is spectacular. Staff is extremely helpful (although, one does not need three people to show the way to the check-in...). Rooms are luxurious and if you are at the upper levels, provide a nice view over Tainan. The pool is... More

I've stayed here twice and both times have been wonderful. The room is truly five star. I really enjoyed the breakfast. It's one of the best anywhere. The variety is unbeatable. I also enjoyed the soaps and shampoos. They weren't organic, but very good nonetheless.

We are not luxury travelers by default but decided to splurge in Tainan and stay at the Shangri-La Far Eastern. I'd like to say that the name was not a factor, but maybe... Our room was on the Horizon Club level, just around the corner from the club entrance. The Horizon Club Deluxe room included breakfast and "happy hour" in... More

We stayed there for four nights and were very satisfied.

The slow train from Taipei arrives at Tainan TRA station, and this hotel is literally a few steps away. The rooms are excellent, as is the service. Gym, pool, spa and breakfast are all of the standard you would expect for a 5star property.
