Hotels in Taipei Arena, Taipei

FX Hotel is a good hotel for an acceptable price. You won't get luxury. The hotel's common areas inside show its age - the carpets are old and stained, and there is a bit of a funky smell in the hallways. The rooms are good, however. They're spacious, comforable mattrasses and great hot water pressure in the shower - a large overhead rainshower, as well as a handshower. The triple rooms have a Japanese toilet seat with bidet - the queen rooms don't. Rooms are cleaned daily - albeit a bit superficial (don't look under the bed!) The hotel is located next to 2 MRT entrances, leading you to the green and the brown line (the latter is a bit of a walk though), so you're well connected. Breakfast was good, a range of Asian fare and some continental options (scrambled egg, sausage, etc - typical hotel breakfast). All in all a pleasant stay for the amount of money, but the hotel could use a bit of renovation soon.

Great hostel! Very clean and comfortable. Bathrooms good, showers good. The free breakfast is great for a hostel (better than some hotels) - fried rice, noodles, congee, eggs, salads, orange juice, coffee, toast, etc. it gets a little busy but all the food is available until breakfast finishes. The double bunks beds are good for a couple, comfortable amount of space with AC so it stays cool, although the locker space is small for 2 people. People are really friendly here! Good common area to chill out with some socialising if you want to. Would definitely recommend this hostel. So close to the Raohe Night Market too!

The location is very close to the mass transit station ”Taipei Arena” for 5mins walk. It is quite easy to travel to other attractions and restaurants. The hotel room is good, you can see Taipei 101 building! The room is quite and comfortable. Snacks and soft drinks were provided in the room for free. Not much choices for the breakfast but it was good enough with this hotel room price.

Very clean and comfortable hotel in a strategy location, close to public bus stop and within 500m surrounded with many restaurants. Friendly staff provided good service, provided good breakfast, free coffee and other's drink.

The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with comfortable bedding and modern amenities. The staff was courteous and helpful, ensuring a smooth check-in and check-out process. The location is convenient, close to major attractions and public transport. Breakfast was varied and fresh, though the dining area could get crowded during peak hours. Overall, a great choice for both business and leisure travelers.

The twin room was spacious for two people. It was clean, simple, but had everything we needed. We travelled by bus a lot so it was convenient to have a few bus stops nearby. Also walkable distance to subway stations.

This is by far the best hotel I have stayed in Taipei, the location is superb, just 400m away from the BR line Nanjingfuxing station. The breakfast is awesome, the room comes with everything you need, bathtub with jacuzzi, washing/drying machine, microwave oven, fridge, mini bar with complimentary soft drinks and snacks, coffee machine, working desk, you name it. The only con is that, maybe the room is a bit small and dark but I am staying alone, so I'm ok with that. I will definitely come back!

I stayed for 8 nights. Clean, few mins walk from underground, breakfast is very good with many vegetables and Taiwan authentic choices. However, water melon, though not expensive will run out fast. My greatest disappointment is that I lost a diamond-like necklace in the drawer under the sink in the toilet. Though it is not very expensive, I lose trust in the staff as I am pretty sure I put it in the drawer after I wore it on the 5th day and found it disappeared on the 8th day. The counter staff told me that they will conduct a complete search after I left. Though I understand that the chance of finding the necklace is zero. I suppose the mgt should send me a message to acknowledge my loss as I explicitly told them that I want to leave an official loss report with the hotel.

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!

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. They provided cookies in the lobby. The environment was bright, clean, and comfortable, with good soundproofing. As everyone has mentioned, the toilet was high. A minor drawback was that there were only three clothes hangers in the room.
