I decided to stay here for the first time based on the amazing reviews online, and I'm so glad I did. The staff went above and beyond with their warm and friendly service—really made a difference. On a hot day, coming back to the hotel, they handed me a cold drink and even took the time to explain how the instant ramen service works. Such thoughtful touches really make you feel at home. Breakfast was well-balanced—not too much, not too little—and the homemade dessert was absolutely delicious. It's clear this place cares about guest experience. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I visit Taipei.
I've stayed at Rich Garden Hotel in Taipei several times, and it consistently stands out as one of the most comfortable options in the area. While the building exterior and overall decor may look a bit dated, the rooms are spotlessly clean and feature actual windows—plus a bathtub, which is a rare find at this price point in Ximending. The breakfast is basic—just plain rice porridge, simple side dishes, and toast—but honestly, there are so many better local breakfast spots nearby that I usually just head out for a morning bite instead. Location-wise, it's super convenient for getting around: close to MRT stations, shopping areas, and restaurants. If you're looking for a quiet, clean room with good value in central Taipei, this hotel is definitely worth considering.

This was my first stay at MEANDER 1948, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The location is perfect—just a quick walk from Taipei Main Station, making it super convenient for travelers. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the front desk staff were incredibly friendly and attentive.

I opened the curtain and just stared in disbelief—this level of efficiency is unreal. The breakfast roll was a nice touch too. I was a little nervous staying in an eight-person room at first, worried about privacy and cleanliness, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything felt clean, organized, and respectful of personal space. As someone who’s a perfectionist (and yes, a Virgo), this place truly exceeded my standards. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Taipei. If you’re still on the fence, don’t overthink it—just book it. You won’t regret it.
