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.

There are also water dispensers on the lobby floor and the 5th floor, offering both hot and cold water, which is incredibly handy.

From the moment we arrived, the front desk staff greeted us warmly and even stepped outside to help carry our luggage—what a great welcome! While some team members, especially kitchen staff, don’t speak much English, everyone was friendly and accommodating. The room exceeded my expectations in size and comfort, with excellent air conditioning and a very relaxing atmosphere. It came with a microwave, cozy sofa, and two large TVs—one placed directly across from the bed and another near the seating area. The all-in-one toilet is truly high-tech, with multiple bidet settings controlled by buttons—very convenient and fun to use. Breakfast was mainly Chinese-style, featuring a wide variety of authentic local dishes that were delicious and well-prepared. That said, there could’ve been more options for Western guests—no continental or farm breakfast offered—but still, the selection was generous and included a few unique Taiwanese specialties worth trying. The fitness area is modest but functional: it has a pool table, table football, and basic equipment including a multi-station machine, treadmill, and light dumbbells. Not a full gym, but perfect for a quick workout. Location-wise, it’s just a short walk to shops, restaurants, and daily essentials—super convenient. Overall, this place offers excellent value, top-notch service, and a comfortable stay. I’d definitely come back.
Perfect for a family of three! The room is spacious with a large bed made from two single beds pushed together—our little one had plenty of room to play, and we could easily fit a stroller and baby crib without feeling cramped. The location is unbeatable—just a 10-minute walk to Ximending and only 5 minutes to the train station. Public transit access is super convenient, and everything in the city is within easy reach. While there’s no on-site parking, nearby lots are very accessible, though some only accept credit cards (and even offer bank card perks—great for travelers). The dining options aren’t extensive, but they’re satisfying and filling. If you need something quick, the front desk has 24-hour snacks like instant noodles, cookies, and drinks—very handy late-night cravings. The bathroom is a real highlight: spacious with a well-designed wet/dry separation, including a shower attachment in the bathtub. We never had to wait—my family could all freshen up at the same time, which was such a relief after a long day. One small downside? The sink is quite small, so washing your face tends to splash water everywhere. There was also a temporary clog in the drain, but my husband, who works with plumbing, just poked it out with a paperclip—problem solved! Overall, this hotel offers excellent value and comfort. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m back in Taipei.
This was my first time staying at a hostel, and I chose the single room—completely exceeded my expectations! The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel at ease, not rushing at all during check-in. The room is small but thoughtfully designed with a Japanese-style aesthetic—compact yet fully equipped with a fridge, mirror, window, and super soft bedding that made for excellent sleep throughout my three-night stay. I even forgot to wake up once (my smartwatch didn’t record any waking moments!). The female-only floor was quiet and peaceful—only a minor snoring issue the first night kept me from total silence. The shared bathrooms were spotless, featuring smart toilets and powerful hairdryers. Best of all, the location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Ximending, with Liu Dongshan Beef Noodle just steps from the lobby. Everything I needed—from dining to shopping—was literally right outside my door. Overall, this experience was outstanding, and I’ll definitely be back if I ever visit Taipei again.
This is my second stay at this hotel, and I booked a single room again—just like last time, the service and cleanliness were top-notch. Before check-in, I had ordered some local snacks online, and the staff already knew they’d arrived! They kindly brought them up to my room right away. Even better, I was able to order the famous Fuhang soy milk from Taiwan, which was delivered straight to my room for breakfast. No need to go out—perfect for a lazy morning. The location is fantastic too; it’s just a short walk or quick subway ride to the station. Super convenient, clean, and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back.
