Hotels near Laojie River Waterfront Lighting, Taoyuan

As a returning guest to this hotel for my transit in Taipei Taoyuan International Airport. Hotel provides free shuttle services between hotel and airport. Easy access to Taipei city via the airport commuter or express train. The station A14a is just 30m on the right outside the hotel entrance. Fare @ NTD160 one way to Taipei Main Station, same fare for taking either Airport Commuter (roughly one hour) or Airport Express Train (40 minutes). To take Airport Express Train, need to take Airport Commuter from the Airport Hotel Station A14a and change to Airport Express at Terminal 2 (same platform).

Even though it was a non-smoking room, there was a lingering smell of third-hand smoke. The sofa had noticeable dirt in its crevices that hadn't been cleaned, and the decor felt a bit dated. However, the hardware facilities were comfortable, and the breakfast selection was quite decent. It's definitely worth the price, and the location right next to Zhongli Night Market is excellent.

This hotel is rated five-star, but the rooms feel more like a four-star experience. Comfortable, but lacking a certain luxury. The price would be fair if it were positioned as a four-star hotel. I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast; it offered a good variety and tasted delicious, comparable to the Landis Hotel I stayed at the day before. It had more options but no smoked salmon. Pros: Good for an overnight stay near the airport, with a 25-minute bus ride to the terminal. The breakfast was excellent. The bed was reasonably comfortable, though the glossy duvet cover and sheets felt a bit low-end. Cons: The room facilities are quite old, probably a 15-year-old renovation. There are no power outlets by the bedside, so you have to use the hotel's slow charging device. Light leaks through the top of the curtains because the tracks aren't overlapped. The bathroom fan doesn't have an off button, but luckily, closing the door mostly blocks the sound. I was in a hurry checking in and out, so I didn't take any photos of the hotel. The picture is of a small fish tank on the hotel restaurant table, which was a nice little surprise.

Aside from cleanliness and convinient,what I love the most is the taste of the food,soooo delicious! Good job!

My stay at the Central Hotel was, in a nutshell, 'convenient and practical, but not luxurious.' The hotel's biggest draws are its location and price, making it ideal for short overnight stays or independent travelers. The Central Hotel is situated in the heart of the city, within walking distance of major shopping areas and food streets. For backpackers and independent travelers, the location truly can't be beaten. With metro and train stations nearby, getting around to night markets or attractions is incredibly easy. The room was generally clean, though of a medium size with a rather simple decor. The bedding and basic furniture were functional but lacked any sense of luxury. If you're looking for high-end accommodation or spacious, lavish rooms, this might feel a bit too ordinary. Overall, the room's cleanliness was decent, but some details showed signs of age, such as marks on certain walls, furniture edges, or bathroom fixtures. In general, it felt clean but definitely not newly renovated. It also came with two condoms.

Had such a great time, we extended our stay for another night! Both the adults and kids loved it. The pool was a hit, and the breakfast was delicious – even though we had to pay for the kids, they still thoroughly enjoyed it. The airport transfer driver was also very nice.

Nice stay, room was huge and more than I needed. Breakfast buffet was mid, you can skip it get much better local breakfast around.

Not bad for the Taoyuan airport area hotel. The location is quite good as it is near the airport but you have to walk about 8-10min from the MRT. There are two lifts but only one working at that time I've been there. The room is clean and comfortable.

Deluxe twin room is big, clean and nice. The exterior of the building may look dates but the inside is not and isvery comfortable. Every level has a water dispenser which is convenient. The locafion is is near PX mart and many eateries though a bit of walking to Taoyuan statiion but there are many buses near the hotel to take to the Taoyuan HSR and station. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Will defimitely stay again if i come to Taoyuan. Value for money and highly recommended!

The staff were really lovely and I'm sure that had I have spoken Chinese, the things I'm about to say would've been different as I would've been able to explain them over the phone and get them rectified.  CONS: I didn't get there until almost 1 am due to a flight delay and then missing the last MTR, so by the time I did get there all I wanted was a hot bath and a quiet night's sleep. Firstly, the room had definitely had smokers in it previously. They may have done a treatment but it was still noticeable. Secondly, there was 'hair' in the bathtub from a previous occupant. So I definitely didn't use it. Thirdly, I got almost no sleep – even though the bed was really comfortable – because the smoke alarm in the room needed its battery replaced and spent all night making that very loud high-pitched sound that you cannot ignore! Now again, had I've been able to pick up the phone and ask them to come and sort it, it could have been a different story, but... PROS: the room was a great size, and the bathroom had both a spa bath and a walk-in shower. It also was very large and is well set up for customers to drive their vehicle into the ground floor of the unit then go up the stairs to the first floor where the actual room is. The staff were very nice and welcoming even though I arrived so late and even gave me some instant noodle cups. I also got a voucher for breakfast, but didn't end up getting to use it as I was too tired to get out of bed and go there before it finished.  I may not be the target clientele for this establishment, and while this particular stay had farcical elements, now that I know what it's like and how it works, I probably would stay there again simply due to how nice the staff were. It's not their fault that I don't speak Chinese.
