Xinshe Business Hotel Linsen Branch
This was my second stay at Xinshe Business Hotel Linsen Branch, and I’m happy to say the experience lived up to expectations—maybe even exceeded them. The hotel is incredibly well-located just a 10-minute walk from Zhongshan Elementary Station (Exit 2), making it super convenient for getting around Taipei via MRT. The area is lively with nearby shopping spots and a bustling night market, and there are two convenience stores right across the street—perfect for late-night snacks or essentials.
The lobby is welcoming, with complimentary coffee and tea available throughout the day, and the front desk staff is on duty 24/7, which adds a real sense of security. My room was spacious and thoughtfully designed—especially the TV that can swivel both ways, which made it easy to adjust the viewing angle whether lying in bed or sitting on the sofa. I specifically asked for a higher floor during check-in, and it made a noticeable difference: quiet, peaceful, and perfect for a restful sleep.
Inside the room, I appreciated the thoughtful touches—two bottles of mineral water, a variety of tea bags, an electric kettle, and a mini-fridge. The bathroom was especially impressive: spacious, fully separated into dry and wet zones, and featured a relaxing bathtub. They even provided a bathrobe—small detail, big comfort.
I didn’t use the hotel’s Wi-Fi, but breakfast was served downstairs. The Chinese option included congee, light side dishes, and basic fried items, while the Western selection offered salad, fresh fruit, bread, toast, and jam—simple but satisfying. Not gourmet, but definitely practical and convenient when you’re on the go.
All things considered, this hotel offers outstanding value for money in Taipei. With great transport links, excellent location, and top-notch service, I’d absolutely come back without hesitation.
