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.
Staying at Dandy Hotel (Daan Park) was an absolute delight. The room was spotless, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable—everything you’d want for a relaxing getaway. I especially loved the complimentary coffee and tea selection in the lobby; it’s a nice touch to start the day or unwind in the evening. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, genuine service—always smiling, helpful, and making you feel right at home. Located just steps away from the vibrant Yongkang Street, I enjoyed wandering through the lively neighborhood, sampling delicious local snacks and browsing unique boutiques and handmade crafts. With easy access to public transit and a great mix of convenience and charm, this hotel offers unbeatable value. I’ll definitely be back.
Staying at Delight Hotel in Taipei was one of the best experiences I’ve had on my trip. The location is perfect—just a short walk from Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT Station, with plenty of restaurants, convenience stores, department stores, and even a Starbucks right nearby. If you’re attending a concert at Taipei Arena, it’s only one stop away—super convenient for both getting there and heading out afterward for late-night eats at the nearby Liaoning Night Market. The staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly and helpful, always smiling and ready to assist. The room itself was spotless and extremely comfortable, with a bed that made for a truly restful night’s sleep. But the real highlight? The breakfast. It offered a wide variety of Chinese dishes, all prepared with care—so authentic and homely, like something your mom would make. After trying breakfasts at countless hotels, this one easily ranks in the top three. If you’re looking for a cozy, familiar meal to start your day, this is definitely a must-try.
Staying at Amba Taipei Zhongshan was a great experience. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the MRT station, making it easy to explore Taipei on public transit.

The room itself is spacious enough to easily fit two 28-inch suitcases without feeling cramped. Cleanliness is top-notch—everything looked fresh and well-maintained. Hot water was strong and consistent, and the shower pressure was excellent. Bonus points for the free instant noodles provided each night—such a thoughtful little touch! I’d definitely stay here again on my next visit to Taipei. It’s a perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and value. Highly recommended!
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 accidentally stained the mattress, and when I mentioned it, they immediately offered to change the bedding. I only stepped out to freshen up, and by the time I returned, the new sheets were already on, and the blanket was neatly folded. 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.
