Zhongxiao Dunhua Commercial Area Taipei|0.44km from city center
A very comfortable stay, my elders gave great feedback, and the executive lounge was very convenient. It's a hotel with a rich history and character, well-maintained overall, and the service is attentive. We'll definitely be back!

Taipei Railway Station Area Taipei|2.23km from city center
We stayed for a week this time, and every day we had to ask housekeeping for extra large towels because we showered twice a day. It wasn't until the last day that housekeeping asked if we needed extra towels. Also, when we checked in, the shampoo and conditioner were empty, and they hadn't replaced them. We had to call for them to be refilled. This is our third stay at this hotel, don't they keep records of guest preferences?

Ximending Commercial Area Taipei|4.53km from city center
Wonderful service with very friendly and helpful staff. The view is great, but unfortunately we couldn’t fully enjoy it due to cloudy weather. Otherwise, we would likely have caught the sunrise. The location is convenient if you’re taking public transport. We drove instead, and the car park was quite difficult to navigate. It required a sharp right U-turn, and Google Maps kept re-routing us. That said, the staff were extremely helpful and even accompanied us to show us the correct way. The hotel is clean, but we noticed some cooking smells in the morning and a sewage smell late at night. The staff promptly provided an air purifier, and the situation improved after a while.

The hotel was spacious. However, the cleanliness of the room can be improved. Furthermore, it was really unacceptable that the table beside the bed had a bible book. It really creeps us out and there were even knocking sounds on the wall. Hope the management will read this and sort this out.

Zhongxiao Dunhua Commercial Area Taipei|0.79km from city center
I had stayed in a different Green World with decent experience. But this place had rather snarky service staff which threw me off because I always had good customer service in Taiwan. The lobby and entrance is also shady like a backdoor. The soundproofing was terrible. The room next door is separated from me by a false wall so I could hear the baby crying and the family in it having a three generation discussion. I won't want to come back. The saving grace is the toilet which is quite huge and ironically, better sound insulated from the room than the next door is to mine.

Ximending Commercial Area Taipei|3.86km from city center
Great place to stay! Very IG worthy and is near eating places and amenities. Only issue (which is quite uncomfortable at times) is the central temperature control - the whole hotel is set at 19-22 degrees even in cold weather - I cannot adjust the room temperature and have to intermittently turn off the air conditioning. On the big plus side is the breakfast. Amazing and definitely worth it!

Taipei Arena Taipei|1.33km from city center
Choosing hotels for my Taiwan trip took nearly a week because I can be quite picky about accommodations. ILLUME turned out to be the perfect choice, meeting all my priorities. From the moment I dropped off my luggage in the elegant lobby, I felt welcomed. The staff was friendly and even accommodated my request for an early check-in, allowing me to settle in two hours ahead of the standard 4 PM check-in time. I was assigned a room next to the sauna and steam room, which I appreciated for its convenience. However, there were some noises in the evening from nearby banquet events and guests doing laundry, but as someone who tends to stay up late, it didn't bother me at all. The gym is shared and well-equipped, typically not crowded except during peak hours when fitness classes draw in more guests. My room was clean and received daily housekeeping, although there were a couple of times when the cups weren't cleaned. I understand they might have thought I was still using them, so no complaints there. It’s also worth noting that there’s a 7-11 convenience store just downstairs, connected directly to the hotel lobby, where they sell Taiwan's famous branded cakes like 太陽餅 and 鳳梨蘇. Plus, there are numerous buses nearby, making transportation super convenient—I didn’t even need to rely on the subway! I really enjoyed the air conditioning—it was cool enough for a comfortable night’s sleep. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and will definitely return without hesitation!

Shilin Night Market Taipei|4.49km from city center
They have kindly upgraded us to rooms next to elevator with balcony for better ventilation. Even at lower level the view of Taipei is unbeatable. We like the wooden floor much better. Because of renovation at the separate bldg, they’ve used strong aroma to cover the smell. That side has carpet floor which will suit some of the travellers. A few boutiques at main bldg, selling special fashion & accessories. Hope we could stay for longer next time to read the exhibition at V floor. Those are precious history of how the hotel has developed since 1940s. Buses to Jiantan only operates on weekends- we as Japanese cannot read the sign & waited in the wind for 10+ min. Luckily a lady asked the concierge & figured out what’s going on. We took taxi instead.

Highly recommend the stay. The rooms were clean and spacious. Meals were very tasty and there was a very large selection available (including many vegan options). The spa experience was worth every penny,. We travel around the world and the massages we had here were absolutely the best ones. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We loved the stay so much we've extended and upgraded our room for extra nights.

Taipei Railway Station Area Taipei|2.79km from city center
A few things in the hotel made me feel a little in Japan instead of Taiwan: - yukata available for use - bidet with seat warmer - LOTS of Japanese food options around (in the basement of the hotel as well as the Eslite building next to it) The staff are polite and friendly. Little/no problem with English but they have dedicated staff who can speak Korean and Japanese. We had the 2 double beds in the room to accommodate 2 adults and 2 toddlers (<5yo). The room was spacious (about 33sqm) compared to the other hotels nearby. This time round, the room decor feels a bit more modern. It has the necessities (safe deposit box, water kettle, some mugs, tea and coffees). Mineral water is provided but there are also water dispensers are on the gym floor and another floor. The laundry room (only 1 washing machine and 1 dryer, both coin-operated ) is clean. Dryer can dry the clothes in 1 round. Detergent is free for use. However, there is no view from the room (we can see the other rooms from our room). Location is directly above the red & blue Taipei Main Station MRT and directly opposite the High Speed Rail station . The hotel is connected to the MRT and the HSR station via the basement but there is a stairs (about 15-20steps) so it’s not so stroller-friendly). Overall, we love the hotel and would come back if we visit Taipei again.

Stayed here for 5 nights. Everything was great, rooms were equipped with necessary amenities and lots of hanging spaces. Toilet, shower and sink are separated, which was a nice touch so you won't have to fight for it. Toilet was also equipped with a bidet (major plus!). Drinking and hot water are readily available on each floor, and the hotel also provides kettle and a jug to fill. Price is reasonable and overall it was a great stay!

Shilin Night Market Taipei|5.89km from city center
Overall, it was a decent experience, especially the wide variety of breakfast options which deserve special commendation. However, there are a few areas for improvement. The in-room cleaning details could be better. Also, the tall gentleman with yellow hair who was greeting guests at breakfast had a terrible attitude. When I walked into the restaurant without stating my room number, I was immediately asked to go back to the entrance. There was also no greeting when I finished breakfast, which was very disappointing!

We were very pleased with our stay at the Miramar Garden. The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The hotel is centrally located, near the Taipei Main Station, which made sightseeing convenient. We enjoyed the pool, although it was smaller than expected. The hotel offers a good buffet breakfast, with decent variety. There is also a small cafe in the hotel lobby. The hotel staff was friendly and spoke good English. The gym and sauna seemed nice as well, although we didn't have an opportunity to use them. Overall, we were very comfortable here and would stay again on our next visit to Taipei.

My stay at Beitou Grand View Hotel was absolutely exceptional! Nestled in the mountains with breathtaking natural surroundings, the room was spacious and the private hot spring was incredibly relaxing.

The room is very spacious with Japanese style of sitting area of chit chat. The private hot spring inside the room is cool as well as the outdoor public hot spring is a different experience. Do take note to bring along your swimming costume to enter the outdoor public. The amenities in the hotel is nice and clean. There isn’t much choice for dinner at the hotel as there is only 1 Japanese restaurant serving the food. The food is slightly on the high side but the taste is delicious. The breakfast area is decent with many variety of food. There is a convenience store nearby which require about 15 mins walk downhill and it’s pretty dark especially at night. Good for staying to enjoy the hot spring and pamper yourself.

Overall good, the shuttle service I think goes until 10 or 11pm but they were kind enough to be flexible with me when I came exactly at 11pm to the station. Make sure you communicate with them in advance. I emailed them and then added their WhatsApp to do so. Worst case you can walk from Xinbeitou station but it's up a hill. Everything was clean, room was spacious, view was nice. There's a local breakfast place that's a 10 min or less walk you can search on Google maps. There's some drink places and restaurants etc closer to the station.

I recently stayed at the Beitou Hot Spring Resort in Taipei and was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The facilities are outstanding, especially the sauna and hot spring baths, which provided a perfect way to relax and unwind. The sauna was well-maintained and offered a soothing atmosphere, while the hot spring baths were a true highlight, with clean, rejuvenating water that felt amazing. The room was spacious and comfortable, providing a serene retreat after a day of exploring. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that all my needs were met. Overall, my stay at Beitou Hot Spring Resort exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this resort for anyone looking to enjoy luxurious amenities and a relaxing atmosphere in Taipei!

Beitou Hot Spring Area Taipei|11km from city center
The hotel is situated slightly uphill, hence I really won't recommend walking at all. The hotel does provide shuttle services to the XinBeitou MRT station at certain time. The room I booked come with ensuite onsen. There is the cleaning area next to the tub which literally just like a public Japanese onsen but private. There is also a sitting area right outside of the tub room whereby tatami floors welcomed me to sit and enjoy the variety of tea and coffee available in the room. The bed was super comfy and the room size was generous. The WC and washing basin was in another ensuite near to the main door. There are ample storage space with safety box, slippers and yutaka to name a few perks that comes along with the room. Breakfast wise was however just adequate. You would expect that overwhelming spread but unfortunately not —but of course it is unnecessarily a bad thing, depends if what they serve hit your taste buds. There are both oriental and continental breakfast spread to choose from. I did both and I liked both. The front desk has been very helpful throughout my stay.

Located near Daan metro and has a busstop right at the doorstep making it convenient to travel around via public transport. The room is quite dated but spacious enough for 2 pax. Air conditioning is weak in the mid of summer, can't seem to adjust it, might be central airconditioning. Breakfast is a simple fare, but the scrambled eggs was cooked perfectly! Staff at the restaurant was friendly and cheerful. The buttons in one of the lift was wonky and would require multiple tries. Would recommend if you are on a budget.

Shilin Night Market Taipei|5.28km from city center
For the past 10 years, whenever I visit Taipei, I’d definitely book my few nights stay at Star Beauty. I wouldn’t say it’s the best but their prices were pretty reasonable with good bed and they upholds a standard of cleanliness. The nearest MRT station would be Jiantan but it’s probably a 10 mins walk. And about 13 mins walk to Shilin Night Market from hotel. Their room walkway is slightly dimmer but that’s no issue for me. Hotel surrounding has lots of convenient stores and eateries..

We stayed on the 17th floor, and the shower pressure was unbelievably low – it felt weaker than a toilet flush. I reported this to the front desk. They asked if we'd like them to send someone to check it, but it was already past 9 PM, and we had already showered. Given we were only staying one night, I simply wanted to bring it to their attention, not necessarily request an immediate fix. Whether the hotel followed up to inspect or repair it after we checked out remains to be seen, and will be for the next guest to find out. Also, the pillows were quite soft. I asked the front desk if they had firmer options. The staff member who answered the phone surprisingly asked how many nights we were staying. After I replied 'one night,' she just said, 'Oh, we only have one buckwheat pillow and one memory foam pillow.' So, we had no choice but to try those. I'm still puzzled why my length of stay was relevant to the pillow inquiry.

I recently stayed at your hotel and overall had a comfortable experience. The breakfast was delightful, especially the fresh and tasty salad—it was a highlight! The hotel’s environment and location are also great, offering convenience and a pleasant atmosphere. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. The facilities feel somewhat outdated, though they were still functional. Additionally, while most staff were courteous, one gentleman at the front desk seemed less welcoming—a more consistent level of hospitality would enhance the guest experience. Lastly, the check-in and check-out times felt quite restrictive. Earlier check-in and later check-out options would make stays more convenient for guests. Despite these points, I enjoyed my time here and would consider returning. With some adjustments, this could be an even better stay!

Such a charming little place with super convenient transport! And it's great value for money too! The only thing is, the decor has a bit of a retro vibe. Let's put our heads together and turn it into the absolute cutest spot! 💖

Taipei Arena Taipei|2.87km from city center
It was quite good. Easy to find from nanjing sanmin station, near raohe night market, easy to reach the waterfront running path, close to many 7/11s, breakfast areas and a morning market near the nanjing sanmin station. Offers dry cleaning but for normal travellers, self service laundry is available nearby

World Trade Center Exhibition Center Taipei|0.98km from city center
The location of the hotel is just right in the city center. If you would like to travel by subway, it’s an easy 7 minute walk. It’s a very small hotel without pool. First room category is quite small. If you stay 2 people will be very tight, no space to walk. Breakfast is not something to expect but they have smoked salmon which is quite nice. Service is a 4-star hotel service. Overall, a good hotel to stay if the price doesn’t surge above NTD 5,000

Taipei Railway Station Area Taipei|3.23km from city center
The hotel's location is excellent, right next to Ningxia Night Market! Just a turn downstairs and you're there, super convenient! The room and bed linens were very clean, with no strange odors. The room facilities were good, offering many TV channels, and the hot water was fast and stable. Shampoo and body wash were provided. The staff were very helpful and offered assistance.

Taipei Railway Station Area Taipei|2.61km from city center
The hotel is right next to Taipei Main Station (Exit M3), just a 1-minute walk away. The décor has a slightly vintage style, but the services are excellent. Each room comes with a personal AI box where you can check promotions, food spots, transportation info, or even play music. We also received coffee vouchers that can be redeemed at the 17 Café on the first floor , the coffee was great. The room is compact but comfortable and clean. Adjusting the hot and cold water, as well as the A/C, can be a bit tricky, but it’s not a big issue. There are convenience stores right next to the hotel, both 7-Eleven and FamilyMart. Highly recommended for travelers looking for a hotel just a short walk from the station.
