Zhongxiao Dunhua Commercial Area Taipei|0.44km from city center
The decor looks a little dated and old especially compared to other 5 star hotel we have stayed in (Grand Hyatt). But the room is spacious and clean. And the price is just right. We got the city view, a small extra but we think it’s worth it compared to the interior view. Location is great, a short walk from the MRT station.

Taipei Railway Station Area Taipei|2.23km from city center
There's construction on one side of the hotel, and the old windows don't close properly, so diesel fumes from the crane wafted directly into the bedroom. Not to mention the noise from the building work – imagine driving a car without air conditioning, stuck behind a diesel truck constantly spewing exhaust fumes. The result? A headache that required painkillers. Luckily, Trip.com was great and got me a room change. The mattress is very soft, so if you prefer lumbar support, you should reconsider. The family with kids next door was very noisy, and the front desk promptly moved me to another room. The transportation is very convenient, with the MRT station just a two-minute walk away. The hotel lobby is like an MRT platform, bustling with people – from young to old, student groups to limping seniors, all attending some event. It's the opposite of quiet. If you enjoy crowded fairs, you might like the lively atmosphere. Even checking in took about 10 minutes.

Ximending Commercial Area Taipei|4.53km from city center
Cleanliness: On the whole, it seemed okay, but the trash can didn't have a liner, so I had to put one in myself. I accidentally touched the window curtain and a lot of dust fell out, making us sneeze uncontrollably. The throw pillows and towels also had stains. The location is a bit better, but it's a bit of a walk from Longshan Temple MRT station, and you have to pass by the train station. It's fine during the day, but late at night, you need to be mindful of the homeless people near the station. Regarding service and facilities: The front desk staff seemed a bit impatient with foreign guests, though the older gentlemen were better than the younger ones. Also, the elevator is very cramped, and because the hotel has many rooms and guests, sometimes you have to wait a long time for an elevator. If you encounter a tour group, you'll be waiting forever. The room was a bit narrow, not very large. We booked for two nights, and the breakfast was mediocre and not very tasty, but there were more options.

”Loved the vibe of this hotel! 😍 The design is super modern—especially the bathroom with the marble vanity and high-tech bidet (always a win!). The bedroom had cool artistic touches like the Ximen Red House print and unique metal wall art. The mood lighting made it feel super relaxing after a long day. Clean, stylish, and comfortable. Would definitely stay again!”

Location is excellent. The hotel sits between 2 subway stations therefore making going around the city very easy. We had rented a car and was able to park for free during our stay. The mall next to the hotel is very convenient as we were able to pick up simple wardrobes and traveling essentials.

Zhongxiao Dunhua Commercial Area Taipei|0.79km from city center
The location is excellent, just above the metro station and there are lots of nice restaurants, convenience store nearby. I have stayed here for quite many times. The room is spacious, however I could see quite much of dusts on some part of the rooms the time , eg light switch, bedside table. The bed and washroom looked clean (which mattered most for me), I didn’t really stay in the room a lot, so I didn’t request for room change or extra cleaning.

Ximending Commercial Area Taipei|3.86km from city center
Sure! Here's a lighthearted and positive hotel review with a fun twist: --- *”A Stay So Smooth, Even My Alarm Clock Took a Vacation!”* If you're a traveler who just wants the basics done, clean room, comfy bed, hot shower, and Wi-Fi that doesn’t play hide and seek. This place is your jackpot. The location? Smack dab in the middle of everything. I stepped out and walk a bit and boom food, fun, and a pharmacy (because you never know). Staff were friendlier than my GPS, and the check-in was faster than my morning coffee brewing. Honestly, I came for a place to crash and ended up low-key considering extending my stay just to enjoy the peaceful vibes and people-watching from the lobby. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I bring snacks next time? Also yes, because midnight cravings are real.

Taipei Arena Taipei|1.33km from city center
This hotel is a good location if you are coming to watch concert given that Taipei arena is right opposite within 1 traffic light away. I’m surprised and happy that they allowed us to check in early and we did it via self service check in kiosk. Hotel location is easy accessible within nearby metro and is also 2 station away from Songshan if you need to take a TRA to 九份. Surrounding with breeze mall and ikea right beside it and the best of all 7-11 mart is right in level 1 within the hotel without having you to walk all the way out if you need last minute supper or drinks. As this is an eco friendly hotel, hence no mineral water is given but flasks are provided to fill water via their water dispenser near the lift lobby and not to forget their coffee are provided in capsule with coffee machine instead of packet. Overall, I’m very pleased with the service, cleanliness, big room and hotel location. 😁

Shilin Night Market Taipei|4.49km from city center
Great experience here at this 75 year old property. They have a new and an old wing. I had a peaceful and restful stay in their horizon prestige room. Would definitely recommend it as the view is one of the best in Taipei. The shower pressure for hot water is super super strong and good. And the view of the planes landing and taking off is something unique. Did not get breakfast, so not sure how the food is. But easily this is one of the best places to stay in Taipei if you’re looking for a local hotel experience.

Taipei Railway Station Area Taipei|2.43km from city center
Stayed at the Regent for our 20 year anniversary. The room was very clean, perfect temperature, and they offered a welcome snack. There weren't any personalised welcomes unfortunately but the room was great. They no longer offer disposable bathroom amenities like toothbrush, toothpaste, cotton, combs, hair brush etc, you need to bring your own. We had the pleasure of enjoying Tai Pan Lounge. They are open 24/7 for tea and coffee but offer snacks during breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a specific period. We also enjoyed the spa. They don't have communal wet facilities, only in the room, so your time there is limited depending on the treatment you booked. They do have a health and fitness club in B3 though where you can enjoy such facilities at your leisure. We had our anniversary dinner at Robins Grill and it was perfect. Service was amazing, food was exquisite, and the vibe was so pleasant. Definitely coming back to Robins Grill, it was our second time there! Overall, our stay was beautiful and we didn't want to leave.

The rooms were modern, spacious, and impeccably clean, with comfortable beds and excellent soundproofing that made it easy to rest. The bathroom was well-designed, featuring modern fixtures and good water pressure, which made the stay feel very comfortable. The hotel staff were professional, friendly, and attentive, always ready to assist with any request. Breakfast offered a great variety of fresh options, and the lobby area was welcoming with plenty of seating The location was also excellent, with easy access to nearby attractions and transportation.

Beitou Hot Spring Area Taipei|11.12km from city center
1. Misleading Entrance Signage Upon arrival, we followed the signage pasted on a pillar that directed guests to a staircase entrance. However, when we reached that entrance, we were shocked to find the door marked with the sign “来宾止步” (“Guests Stop Here”). When we raised this with your staff, we were told that this entrance has not been in use since the COVID-19 period. While we understand that certain operations may have changed during the pandemic, COVID-19 restrictions have ended for more than two years. If the primary entrance has been permanently closed, why has no corrective action been taken and the misleading signage still left there? Carrying heavy luggage up and down a sloped path unnecessarily was frustrating and avoidable. 2. No Staff Assistance or Clear Signage at the New Entrance When we finally located the new entrance, there were no staff members on standby to assist us, nor was there any clear external signage indicating that this was the correct way to access the lobby. The explanation given later was that all staff were away assisting with parking which is not acceptable. At least one person should have been assigned to remain at the entrance, or the last person leaving should have arranged for another colleague to cover the position. In addition, the Operations Director mentioned that there is signage inside the new entrance directing guests to take the elevator to the lobby. However, this logic is flawed. If guests cannot locate the correct entrance in the first place, how could they possibly see a sign placed inside? 3. Poorly Trained and Unprofessional Front Desk Behavior After struggling outside, we called the number listed on Google. Only then did someone finally come out and lead us in. By that time, we were exhausted and upset. When we confronted the front desk staff about why they ignored us, despite us clearly visible outside the “来宾止步” glass door, making eye contact and knocking for help, but they claimed they “did not see us.” This excuse was clearly untrue, as we observed them looking in our direction. Even more disappointing, none of the front desk staff offered an apology even until we requested to speak to the Operations Director and asked him to review the CCTV footage. After reviewing the footage, the Operations Director confirmed that the front desk had not been alert and apologized on their behalf. However, he did not acknowledge that the front desk’s attitude and lack of sincerity were also serious problems. Being “not alert enough” and showing no sense of apology or empathy are two entirely different issues. As an international hotel, the front desk is the first impression of your service. Regardless of the quality of your facilities, this poor experience completely overshadowed the positive aspects of our stay. It also severely damages the reputation of Kagaya Group — a brand that has long been admired for its exemplary Japanese hospitality and politeness. Although we appreciate the Operations Director’s effort to make amends by offering us a meal and gifts (which we declined), it remains undeniable that this incident reflects a failure in staff training and management oversight. We hope that management will seriously review this incident, especially the issues of: - Inadequate and misleading signage at the entrance - Lack of staff presence and assistance upon guest arrival - Poor front desk awareness and unprofessional behavior We trust that Kagaya Group will uphold its proud tradition of service by addressing these problems promptly and ensuring no other guests experience such treatment in the future. Thank you for your attention.

Our room was on 2nd floor, and while small, it was sufficient for 2 people for a 2 night Christmas stay. Reminded me of Japan hotel rooms. A highlight was the dining area in the room, which was convenient and comfortable for enjoying takeaways when we wanted to avoid queues for dining. The beds are spring-based and on the softer side. Make sure to close windows tightly for soundproofing; while it doesn't block 100% of street noise, it was sufficient for light sleeper like me. It was bit noisy during Christmas festivities at night but very quiet in the mornings. The location is excellent - right next to Shin Kong Mitsukoshi and Watsons, Uniqlo downstairs. If you have luggage, I recommend exiting via Exit Z2 at Taipei Main Station for elevator.

The location of the Hotel isn't that convenient to go to, so it's recommend to look at their shuttle bus timing or simply book an Uber to ride up the hill. Each room that you book also comes with a 1x free visit to the outdoor Spa facilities so I highly suggest you to bring a swim wear to go as it's pretty good even at night time. As for the room it's spacious like other reviews photos have shown but not a lot of people have shown the bathroom/toilet so I'm including it here. It's a very spacious Toilet with the bathtub that has the Onsen water, and the shower head beside the bathtub.

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.

The hotel is about a 5–10 minute walk from the metro. Breakfast options were very limited and below expectations. Children are not offered free breakfast, and the price charged for kids above 110 cm is not worth it. The room is old but well maintained.

I had an excellent stay at the Grand Hyatt Taipei.

From the moment I arrived, the service was warm and attentive. The lobby is beautiful and welcoming, and the staff always greeted me with a smile. My room was spacious, very clean, and well-designed, with a comfortable bed and a great view of Taipei 101. Housekeeping kept everything spotless during my stay. Breakfast was another highlight—the buffet had a wide variety of delicious choices, both Western and Asian, and everything was fresh. I also appreciated the hotel facilities, especially the gym and pool, which were well maintained. Overall, I highly recommend the Grand Hyatt Taipei for anyone visiting the city.

My only downsides were that the walls were a bit thin. Also the hallway noise carries into the room too. And when the AC is on, it is very bright red illuminating the room. The blackout curtain didn't close 100%. But I had an eye mask and ear plugs so it wasn't a problem.

Service was top tier! Every single personnel or staff in this hotel were very accommodating and friendly. The amenities were more than what we needed. And we got upgraded into Fabulous room and the view was beautiful. The interior of the room is my favorite. I loved my time here in W. The pool though honestly was a bit cold for me. They probably dont use their pool heater much but i enjoyed more in their sauna, jacuzzi and steam room.

Great breakfast, like many other guests have commented, not a huge variety but they have all the necessary ingredients for a filling breakfast buffet and all food taste good! Swimming pool and gym are both comfortable and huge The only problem is it isn’t too close to the metro but I come here for business trip so it’s fine for me

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
overall, it was an average experience. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and quiet, with surprisingly good soundproofing that made it easy to rest. I also appreciated the in-room coffee machine, which was a convenient touch for a quick morning pick-me-up. However, being located in the basement made the room feel a bit dark, and the bathroom facilities could be more modern, as the toilet was not a washlet. The breakfast offered was quite limited, and the service left something to be desired. While the staff were present, they did not proactively check on guests or offer assistance, and there was little interaction or friendliness. Simple gestures like greetings, smiles, or help with luggage were missing, which made the overall experience feel less welcoming. Additionally, during breakfast, food was cleared promptly at the set time without asking if guests were still eating or wanted more, which could have been handled more thoughtfully. On the positive side, the hotel provides the essentials for a short stay, and the rooms are quiet and functional. For travelers prioritizing comfort and a clean environment, this hotel is acceptable, but I feel that improved hospitality and more attention to guest experience would make a significant difference. Service really matters in hospitality, and it’s the area where this property could improve the most.

World Trade Center Exhibition Center Taipei|1.15km from city center
This is a locally owned hotel and, although rated as a four-star property, it feels more like a three-star international chain hotel. The staff do not greet guests proactively and tend to respond only when spoken to. Even when thanked, they often remain unresponsive, which was rather disappointing. The hotel has a distinct 1990s vibe which is dated, but equipped with all the basic facilities one might need. Breakfast was quite unappealing, and the coffee was especially disappointing as it was served from a pot rather than freshly ground. That said, the location is excellent and just a few minutes’ walk from the rail system, with plenty of eateries and convenience stores nearby. From a pricing perspective, it’s reasonable value for money, and I wouldn’t mind staying here again, provided expectations are managed accordingly.

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 room's cleanliness was decent, and the service was good. You can self check-in, and there's a common area where you can sit and use your laptop. I booked a standard room, and the space was alright. However, the main window faced the street, which was a night market, so the noise from traffic at night was very loud and affected my sleep. The hotel breakfast was pretty good.
