Happiness Hotel
I recently stayed at Happiness Hotel in Songshan, Taipei, and was genuinely impressed—this place offers incredible value for money. The hotel is just a short walk from Songshan MRT Station (exit 2), right next to the famous Raohe Street Night Market and Songshan Market. You’ll find endless dining options, shopping spots, and local vibes within easy reach—perfect for exploring on foot. While the exterior might look a bit dated, the room itself totally exceeded my expectations. Spacious, beautifully renovated with classic, elegant decor, featuring warm wooden flooring and tasteful furnishings. Every detail was thoughtfully included: air purifier, cozy seating area, side table, dehumidifier, hot water kettle, hangers, and hairdryer—all in top condition. The bathroom is stunning—luxurious marble tiling, a unique semi-circular design, full separation between wet and dry areas, and a generously sized shower stall with excellent water pressure. Hot water came instantly, making for a relaxing soak. (The steam sauna was under maintenance at the time, but honestly, it didn’t spoil the experience.) My view room offered breathtaking views of Taipei 101, especially magical during the evening when the city lights came on. The bed was incredibly comfortable—soft bedding and pillows, clean and cozy, perfect for a restful night’s sleep. The room was quiet, well-insulated, and felt secure. Housekeeping was prompt and thorough, keeping everything spotless each day. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and I especially appreciated the complimentary drinks, coffee, juice, cookies, and snacks available on the first floor—such a thoughtful touch. Overall, this hotel delivers outstanding value in Taipei. If you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and a great stay without breaking the bank, this is definitely a top recommendation.
