Traveling to Taiwan? Find Taipei hotels

This being my 9th trip to Taiwan, I have stayed at a number of hotels from 5 star to 3 star. I would rank this as one of the best hotels I have stayed at in Taipei. I had orgininally booked for 3 days but ended up staying a total of 6 days. The location in excellent with the Ximen MRT station exit 5 just outside the hotel. The rooms are very modern and the bed is very comfortable. This is a new hotel and there are still some renovaitons in the lower level but nothing to be a hinderence at all to your stay. I have only some very small comments to make but once again nothing to be overly concerned by. The lip on the shower floor is quite low so the water does not drain away as quick so need to be careful of the water flowing over to the floor. While ther rooms are very spacious there is no where to put your luggage except on the floor maybe the room could have a stand that you can put your luggage on. The breakfast is delivered to your room from an external supplier. Not really to my liking as it was cold. I would have preffered maybe some pastries than the american style that was delivered.. My final comment and this is not a critisicm of this hotel but of most in taiwan. I would like to see an iron and ironing board in the rooms. Overall I must say I was very impressed with this hotel and the staff. I will definately be booking this hotel again on my next trip.

As the title says, everything here is good. At least for tourists. It is about 5-8mins by foot from Ximending and Beimen stations. If you are a late-night kind of person, you will like it here - right down the street you could easily find convenience stores as well as 24hrs MOS Burger! If you are into local street food, there are also 24hrs hawkers to fulfil your midnight cravings. As for the service, very friendly and helpful front desk staffs. Interior design is one of a kind - modern and pleasant. As it is still new, everything is in order, and most importantly, clean. I hope that the cleanliness could be maintained even when the facilities get older. Only thing is that it is a little pricey (but hotels in Taipei are generally on the expensive side), and that there are no windows in the room.

I have to say I am in love with the big windows it has in all the rooms. As you may notice, a lot of the Taipei hotels do not have windows in their room yet this one you can enjoy a great view of the busy Taipei. Besides, they have an iPad that allows you to control everything in the room with an app. Though you don't see the usual smart/butt-washing toilet but you get the smart lighting in your shower area in return. All in all, it's a nicely designed hotel which is also a good value for money. An obvious choice in the Taipei Station area.

I think that was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed, on the price I paid. Staff were very friendly, including the bellboy, the front desk staff and the housekeeping staff. Only the restaurant staff may need to have more smiles on their faces, but they were quick in clearing used plates and cups etc though. Room was very well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. It was well equipped and the housekeeping was very good, cleaning our room and replenished used items without any issue everyday. The only issue may be that the lighting was not sufficiently bright. Another thing I wish to suggest is that since it was a room for 4pax, more privacy could be done for the bathroom and toilet. The hotel has a small but nice gym with a coin operated laundry next to it. On the lobby of every floor it has a display screen showing trailers of movies besides advertisement. Breakfast was reasonable with sufficient variety for us. Only suggestion was that the egg could have been changed between omelet, fry eggs and scramble egg. Location wise, nothing to complain as it was just next to an MRT station with plenty of taxis waiting in front of the hotel. Ximending shopping zone is just next to it and the famous Red House is just across the road. Just to highlight that, as for most of the hotels in Taipei, the hotel does not have a parking area neither a covered front porch. You will have to prepare your own umbrella to get out of your car if it is raining. But the hotel provides umbrella if you want to get out of the hotel though. As your car will have to stop at the roadside which is about 30feet from the hotel main door, you will have to prepare to carry your luggage as the bellboy only wait in the hotel main door. Alternatively you run into the hotel to call the bellboy out to help. Overall, I love the hotel and it is highly recommended.l.

Very good location, just 5 mins to Ximen MRT through covered underpass, good for rainy weather. Ximen station is just one stop from Taipei main station, a transport hub in Taipei. Hotel lobby is linked to a 7eleven store on the ground floor - very convenient if need some toiletries, drinks or snacks at night. Cross the road, there's Ximending and eateries like MOS, plenty of food options. Hotel breakfast has good spread. My triple room was spacious and comfortable. Wash basin, toilet and shower were separated, so three persons could use them at the same time. Housekeeping was responsive to requests for special pillows chosen from pillow menu - FOC. TV had major international channels. Only that our room faced the busy road junction and the sound of traffic was audible at times. Did not need to use room access card to take lifts to rooms; I was a bit concerned about security but this might be an unneccesary worry as the area in which hotel is located is really safe.

this is a very new hotel in taipei which i happened to find it for my 4 days work visit to taipei last week. first, it is in a very good location of the city. sogo, breeze, da-an mrt station and many other restaurants just within walking distance. the staff is quite good in english and thus very helpful to us. the restaurant on the ground floor is exceptionally international acceptable. normally, food at breakfast in 4 stars hotel in taipei has strange taste for many westerners. nevertheless, the room is quite small, perhaps it is because of the rocky high real estate price in taipei. the bed is small but soft, the restroom is interestingly equipped with electronic toilet resembling that of a busy district hotel in tokyo. one more good thing about the hotel is free wifi which is very convenient for us business people. last time, i had to pay about 60 dollars a day for use of wifi in far eastern taipei!

Visited in Oct 2019. Hotel has the bare minimum (no pool, no gym) I need for my trip which mostly revolves travelling out to other areas in Taipei. + Toilet has a bidet + Both a shower and tub is present + TV channels were from a TV box and were more than adequate. + Hotel and rooms have a modern design + Attentive staff who replaced the shower and soap when we're almost done with it + Halloween decorations + blood (tomato) juice available at reception Conveniently located near Banqiao station which has 3 main lines - HSR, TRA and Taipei Metro. Makes it easy to get to airport via HSR (+1 transfer onto the Airport Line) and to Taipei Main Station. Located on the Blue Taipei Metro line, Ximen is just a few stops away. Breakfast is not an issue as there is a shop that sells cheap traditional Taiwanese breakfast right opposite the hotel. 2 Family Marts located beside the Hotel and a larger one located in Banqiao station which sells all the souvenir that you need (e.g. ChiaTe)

A very good hotel, but feels a little too cold in my opinion due to its 'Ikea-like' deco style. Everything from check-in to the room has nothing to fault. Bed is comfortable, faucets works well (no bath tub), for a modern 4-star hotel in Taipei, the lack of electric toilet seat is surprising. Breakfast bar is above average compare to other Taipei hotel, while there appears to be many items, each of the selection is not so tasty and nothing memorable. Fruit is limited to 1 selection most of my stays.

For us best hotel in Taipei, good location for sight seeing and shopping, hotel room like four star hotel, breakfast have variety,hotel staff are friendly and courteous. Would recommend and stay there when visit Taipei again.

Deluxe King Bed Review We are a family of three, staying for 4 nights in May. In summary, it has been one of the best stays we ever had anywhere. Location: it is located in between two subway stops: Songjiang Nanjing and Nanjing Fuxing. Nanjing Fuxing is a transfer station so it is very convenient. I heard from other reviews saying that it is quite a walk, but for us it is great. We are used to long walks anyway and we could easily find buses there, too. We are fast walkers so it takes just about 5 minutes so location didnt bother us. Plus there are lots of convenient stores nearby and small eateries in the alleys. There're also some Japanese fast food restaurants. Service: our check in was fast and efficient. Many of the staff speak decent English so we had no problem communicating. We had free breakfast and it was great: we ate there 4 times and except for the scrambled eggs, beverages and cereal corner, all of the menus were different day by day. Note: there were 8 different main food to choose from. Dimsum and bao were also available. Room: We requested a room on the high floor and in the corner because we have a toddler and these requests were given so we were happy. We had windows on two sides of the room and we could even see the Taipei 101 from the distance. The city view was great, overlooking the main street and not back alley. We had a king size bed so it was huge. The bathroom was wide, a bathtub and a shower. Rooms have all amenities: closet, slippers, mini bar, deposit box, water kettle, hair dryer, and they replenished the mineral water everyday. Even if you didnt finish them, they would give two more for free. We never ran out of water when we stayed. The room was wide and our toddler loved it. Overall a very nice hotel, we would recommend this hotel to anyone and we would love to stay here again.

The Cosmos probably has the best location of any hotel in Taipei, adjacent to Taipei Main Station. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, with check-in and check-out very quick and painless. The triple family room was super clean, with the best beds ever. The room was made up promptly each morning. The room recommendation I would make is to have electrical outlets nearer to the beds so one could charge devices while using them in the beds. The breakfast buffet was adequate, but not spectacular. Overall I would highly recommend the Cosmos, and will surely stay there again when in Taipei.

One of the best locations in Taipei right next to Ximending and a few feet from MRT exit. So much food and shopping close by and easy to get anywhere in Taipei with MRT. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. There are even forms at the front desk where you can order stuff from famous shops and bakeries all across Taiwan and get them delivered to the hotel. That means you can get your ChiaTe Pineapple Cakes without going to the crowded store! Rooms are a bit smaller than some other similar hotels in Taipei, but the location and service more than make up for it.

We booked this hotel based on positive reviews on Tripadviser and were not disappointed. The hotel is very new, tastefully-decorated and is 2-minutes’ walk from subway station. The room is bright and modern, with nice bed and linens. Although the room is a bit small after opening two suitcases, we find it very comfortable. Bathroom is functional and shower has good pressure. The slight drawback is poor sound-proof. We initially stayed on 12/f, which is the second highest floor in the hotel. The next morning, we heard water running and people talking, so loud that we almost thought someone was in our room. We reported the issue to the staff and were quickly assigned a room on 13/f and had no problem since. We are very impressed with all the staff we dealt with and would like to mention two in particular. We emailed to ask where to fix an iphone screen in Taipei on the evening before we arrived at Taipei. Mr. Peter Kan replied in an hour, telling us there is no Apple Store in Taiwan yet but gave us an indicative price for fixing it elsewhere. We had no idea how Peter got this information late at night but was very happy to have received an answer so quickly. As the hotel provides service to purchase souvenirs for guests, my mum paid hotel staff Miss. Maruka (? Sorry we forgot her name but know she’s from Hualien and speaks Japanese) TWD1,000 to get pineapple pies. She left the hotel for sightseeing in a rush and forgot to take her change, which was around TWD600. Upon her return in the evening, before she even asked, staff handed her the exact change without missing a penny and a letter was sent to her room apologizing for the hotel staff’s oversight. She was very touched and impressed, as everything was done in cash without record, it would be easy for staff not to return the change but they didn’t. Instead, they showed complete professionalism and honesty, which leaves my mum and me a great impression. We would like to thank the hotel for an excel

Stayed in Taiwan for 7nights. Stayed 2 nights in S hotel. Best choice made. Service was impeccable.. The service staffs came running to our transport immediately with 2 umbrellas. 1 of them held the umbrella for us while the other was unloading our luggage. Our luggage was mad heavy from our shopping. Didn't pant nor complain. Service staff were mostly young and good looking dudes who would smile and offer their help with transport or any help in finding directions. The hotel is beautifully decorated and quite techy. Love the service, could tell that the staffs love working there and their job. Well done S hotel management. Please continue to keep your staff happy so we will continue to have this impeccable service. Can't wait for our next visit. Thanks to the concierge service rendered at the exit. You guys were marvelous!!

The hotel has one of the best hot springs that i have went. there is also a huge no. of choices of hot springs available. Service staff is friendly, and the restaurant serve nice food, but a little expensive. The hotel is not very accessible from taipei city, with only one connecting bus from taipei. Taking a taxi, which cost around is recommended if you have budget. Overall a good hot spring resort to rest and relax. One of the best i have been so far.

Business hotel. Close to Nangang Exhibition. Hotel have free shuttle bus to MRT Nangang. Close to IFG mall just 5 minite by taxi and it’s have minimart around just 3 minite by walk. From airport to hotel so you can take taxi about 40minite with cost 1450NT. Very nice staff with best service mind , Bfast great and room clean and have everything that you needed!

I had a wonderful trip in Taipei this time. I went there quite often,so I tried a few hotels in Taipei. This is definitely the best one. No matter how late I check in or out still very efficiency with warm and friendly attidude. Good location,taxi to everywhere within TWD 200...easy to get taxi on the street in front of the hotel.

Its a surprise to us honestly. Very happy with our choice! It’s situated in a good neighbourhood where the famous restaurants are just within minutes on foot. Also close to 東區 shopping district. There is supermarket and wet market just downstairs of the hotel. It may not have international 5 star lobby and restaurants, however, one won’t spend much time in the hotel in Taipei anyway. The staff are all v welcoming n helpful. I love the design and architecture of the hotel with nature as the theme. It has a lounge area where u can grab some drinks n fruits. The room is spacious, clean and equipped with nespresso machine. Only complaint is that the toilet and shower area not very separated. N there’s only a curtain to segregate bathroom n bed. May not be v convenient if travelling with friends n big families. Overall breakfast buffet is nice but would appreciate more varieties. Would be back!!

Taipei hotels are expensive to begin with, so this is not an exception. Location is great, less than 100 metres away from Da-an MRT. Surrounded by eating places. Rooms are modern and very clean. Small but for a solo traveller or couple, can seem cozy. This hotel is geared primarily to the business traveller, but thankfully, not as formal and intimidating. The best thing is that you will not find bus loads of tourists here.

Location - great. In between two MRT stations, and bus station, walling distance to Taipei 101 and Exhibition center. Staff - friendly and accommodating. Breakfast spread - good variety. Room - The first room they had booked us stank of cigarette smoke. We had booked a non smoking room, but the first room stank of cigarette smoke. That was on 17th floor. The carpet on corridor was stained and dirty, the room though stank of cigarette smoke, was large and clean had a good view and able to open window to balcony. After immediate feedback, the staff apologized and moved us to a newly renovated room on 12th floor. The new room was clean, with no stains etc. But the window to the balcony was locked for safety .This was because it lead to the roof top of the 12th floor, that is shared with several offices. The sink, shower and toilet were not located in a closed off bathroom, like most smaller hotels in taipei. There are doors of course. So privacy is compromised a little. The laundry room was adequate

This is the second time I stayed in Songshan Amba. The hotel is located right opposite to Songshan station, just one stop next to Taipei train station. The area is quieter than Taipei station but still have a night market within waliking distance and is a good choice for traveling to the small towns around Taipei, e.g. 九份，十份，宜蘭。 The hotel looks popular with foreign tourists and the breakfast is very delicious with lots of local cuisine. The staff are professional and friendly. I had stayed in all three Amba hotels in Taipei: Ximending, Zhongshan and Songshan and they are all very good. The price is a little higher than the other business hotels in Taipei but they are valued for money.

Well-designed hotel. The art installations found around the hotel were nice especially the one by Yu Fen-Wu. To be honest, every spot in the hotel is instagram worthy. As for the rooms, there were not big but thoughtfully designed. There is also a laundry room available but was not able to avail it. Maybe next time I visit. For the location, the hotel is located in a quiet street. It's a couple of minutes away from Da'an station. Also, there are plenty of independent cafes and a small night market around the area. Lastly, the staff where very friendly and helpful. Will definitely book again when I visit Taipei.

Good facilities, nice spa, nice staff, good breakfast. Tranquil and a much needed quietness only 1 hour from Taipei! Lovely trails also. Always something to do with all ages. Only thing is: location is a bit remote, rent a car if you can.

The hotel seems fresh and really well maintained. I felt that I got more than my money's worth. The room was really spacious for a hotel in Taipei, the bed was very big and comfortable and the room was well-furnished. There was a bathtub and a TV in the washroom as well. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, I would definitely recommend others to stay at this hotel!

This was my family’s first trip to Taiwan and we stayed at the hotel for one week. As we have two kids, we selected the family room which had two very comfortable beds and nice pillows. At least for our room they were able to watch TV while taking a bath. I was extremely impressed with the hospitality, service and friendliness of the hotel staff. Check in and out was very fast as well. The hotel is located in a building directly above St. Ignatius High School Subway Station in a safe area. The hotel lobby is located on the 6th floor of this building. The floors below house a shopping mall. The room levels are well above the street to avoid the majority of any street noise. The free laundry room was a great help and they don’t nickel and dime you for the detergent. The breakfast buffet was more than sufficient to satisfy me. I asked for extra bottled water one day in my room and was immediately given some with a smile. It rained one day and we borrowed two umbrellas quickly. The gym was very good especially after eating so much good food in Taipei. The 7-Eleven right outside the door to the street was very convenient to get my children milk. Being that it only takes a few minutes to walk downstairs to the subway I found the location fine. It may take a half hour to get to Taipei 101 or the zoo but other areas are not that far such as the Shi Lin night market located at the Jiantan subway station. My children enjoy taking the subway anyway and we were not in a rush. Nothing to do with the hotel but I do recommend knowing the exact details of how to get to the bus station near Taipei (Railway) Station that has buses going to Taoyuan international airport. The bus is fine, but perhaps a taxi to the station is better than the subway when you have luggage to carry and there are two bus stations , one in the station it seems that has many routes in Taiwan but does not haves buses going to Taoyuan. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

It is along the long busy Nanjing East Road which is undergoing major roadworks to construct a subway line. From the outside it doesn't seem any different from many hotels in Taipei. It has a small simple lobby. The receptionists are friendly, efficient and spoke English. The room was the pleasant surprise - it was very modern and looks like it had been recently renovated. It was spacious, including the bathroom, with a rain-drop showerhead. Very good supply of toilet amenities (seems to be a common feature of Taipei hotels). And free internet connection. I didn't eat in the hotel during my stay. There are 2 popular hot-pot restaurants just around the corner from the hotel (turn left when you come out of hotel) and a modern 'clean' 24-hour spa and foot massage place if you turn right as you exit the hotel.

The staff was amazing, and the decor of the hotel was well done. However, the hotel is a bit far from the MRT. There's a bus stop near the entrance, but it's a bit of a long ride to downtown Taipei. It near 2 7-11's and a Carrefour so late night food is not an issue. The hotel breakfast is nothing special, but filling. (Your standard breakfast congee, toppings, toast, etc). There's a cute cafe in the back of the hotel. The sitting area there is nice, and the food quaint.

Thank you for making my stay a memorable one. I appreciate the staffs' effort for arranging a preferred room and delighting me with the warm decoration. I enjoy the luxurious bidet/washlet where the seat is always warm - most Taipei hotel have bidets but they are not as high tech as this one. Modern features such as a panel which controls the room lighting. I am especially impressed by the fact that the "Master" button will not switch the bathroom lights off; i.e the bathroom lights are separate from the bedside lighting control panel. It is a clever design and you can tell that the designer considered these small details which can delight guests and offer them convenience. Highly functional room design. Short drive to Taipei Main Station if you are taking the high speed rail, this is super convenient. I will not think twice about recommending U Hotel Taipei and I am definitely going to choose this hotel again when I return to Taipei.

Luxurious stay with the perfect view from our room. The bed was comfortable and the ambience of the room is superb. There was also ample space in the room for two huge luggages. Furthermore, staff were very friendly and professional. Suz has brought up the standards of hotel in Taipei and I cannot wait to stay here again. Highly recommended.

We needed to book a two room suite in Taipei which was not easy to find. When we finally came across Leofoo Residences it looked like it would work and the price seemed fair so we booked it and hoped for the best. When we arrived, the staff was gracious, the room was ready a little early and when we got upstairs we were happily blown away by how nice it was. It was like having our own little apartment in Taipei. The suite was clean and well appointed. The bathroom was gorgeous, the location was great, there was a balcony, coffeemaker, all in one washer/dryer, soaking tub and the toilet was amazing once we learned the controls. I highly recommend Leofoo Residences but make sure your Taxi driver does not confuse it with Leofoo Hotel which happened to us twice during our stay.
