I have mixed feelings about Oku Hotel, but overall I’m happy with my four-night stay here in mid-December 2025.
What I liked:
-Spacious rooms
-Newly renovated (though not brand new) property
-A whimsical design theme inspired by the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, with many unique decorative details
-Very professional and friendly staff
-Complimentary breakfast with a generous variety of options
What made me uncomfortable:
-There’s a noticeable wood scent when you enter the hotel, which I don’t mind. However, my room had a strange odor, almost as if someone had smoked weed and tried to cover it up with heavy perfume. Not the end of the world, but noticeable.
-We happened to visit the second-floor bar during a bartending event and stayed for a while. The drinks were mediocre and cost about TWD 500 each after a 10% service charge. That part was fine, but a middle-aged male supervisor interrupted our conversation with the server and asked the staff to take orders from other tables. This may be a cultural difference, but if the goal is to sell high-end cocktails, servers should be encouraged to interact with guests and introduce the drinks. Just my two cents.
-The hotel is located in an older neighborhood, so don’t expect city views.
