I’d been wanting to stay at Shangri-La Far Eastern Taipei for a while, mainly because my travel group consisted of three people who all wanted individual beds and a single room. I was a bit hesitant at first since most of the online reviews were from 2017–2018, but once I arrived, I completely changed my mind—this hotel exceeded all expectations. The ambiance is incredibly luxurious, and the overall quality is top-notch. The room was much bigger than the photos suggested, offering plenty of space and a really comfortable feel. From the moment we walked in, the bell staff and front desk team were welcoming and professional—every interaction was pleasant. The signature fragrance and premium toiletries added that extra touch of sophistication. Initially, I was disappointed to learn that none of the four-room options had views of Taipei 101 (which was part of our original shortlist), but after seeing the room in person, I didn’t care about the view at all—the condition, cleanliness, and comfort were just too good. During our 3-night stay, we only encountered one other Korean guest (in the elevator!), and the breakfast area and pool were mostly filled with European travelers, giving it a very international vibe. What stood out the most was how the hotel proactively sent us a confirmation email after booking to confirm our schedule—something many 5-star hotels don’t do. It made planning so much easier and gave me peace of mind. Overall, this trip was enjoyable and stress-free thanks to the excellent service. I’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Taipei.
Staying at Miramar Garden Taipei was an absolute delight. Despite being classified as a four-star hotel, the quality and amenities felt more like a five-star experience.

The pool area is clean, serene, and perfect for unwinding after a long day. Staff were consistently polite, attentive, and genuinely welcoming—always smiling and ready to help. The only minor drawback was a slight stuffiness in the room when the temperature was increased, but it didn’t detract much from the overall fantastic stay. For the comfort, location, and value, this hotel is hard to beat. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Taipei.
Swiio Hotel Da An delivers a consistently strong experience from start to finish.

The mattress is on the softer side, perfect for guests who love a cozy, relaxed sleep. Common areas are spotless, and the staff are quick to respond—check-in was smooth and efficient. Located just a short walk from the MRT station, the hotel sits in a vibrant neighborhood packed with dining options, from local night market favorites to international cuisine.

Staying at Roaders Plus Hotel Theme was an excellent experience from start to finish. The hotel is spotlessly clean, and the front desk staff were incredibly helpful and friendly—making check-in smooth and stress-free. My kids loved the indoor play area on the 4th floor; they had a blast with plenty of space and fun activities. We also appreciated the open lounge area where we could comfortably enjoy meals brought in—no need to eat in the room or worry about mess. It’s perfect for families. One small suggestion: the shared small table area, while convenient, has a carpeted floor that can trap crumbs and spills. A more frequent deep cleaning routine would help keep it looking fresh and hygienic. I’d seen some reviews mentioning poor soundproofing, but I was on the 10th floor right next to the elevator shaft—and honestly, there was zero noise from neighboring rooms or outside the door. That was a huge relief! Overall, this place offers great value, a welcoming atmosphere, and thoughtful amenities. Highly recommended for travelers, especially families looking for comfort and convenience in Taipei.

The only minor downsides are the limited closet space if you're staying multiple days, and some nighttime noise from passing cars and motorcycles since the room is on the third floor with windows open.
