Overall, Hotel Day Plus was a bit of a disappointment. Outside of the main check-in area, the hotel was very, very dark all over. The concrete floors stole something away from the romantic quality of the rest of the room, as did the open plan bathroom--not the most romantic of situations. The perimeter of the shower was moldy, but other than that the place was tidy and clean. Hotel staff was nice. The biggest disappointment outside of the room itself was that it was so far off the beaten path--while it was cool to stay in an area that was residential and see how locals did their thing, my husband and I had booked the place as a romantic, kid-free getaway for our wedding anniversary and so the location was pretty anti-climactic. But there is a really incredible noodle spot close by near the 7-11, and lots of local food sellers and fruit stands etc. The people of Tamsui are also very nice. Although the Fisherman's Wharf and Lover's Bridge are close by and walkable, there is not much to do at that spot outside of walking the bridge and boardwalk which takes less than a half hour. I suggest you stay somewhere on the strip of stores and restaurants located more centrally downtown to get a better bang for your buck and better water views. *Side note: we took a ferry over to Bali. It was a nice 10-minute boat ride, but due to the rain and being post-Typhoon, the area was pretty dead and kinda dirty. (sorry!) So, save that trip for a sunny day in early summer, not late August.
