Hotels near Longshan Temple, Taipei

"Room: The room not dat big but not too small as well...the room space just enough to make u feel comfortable to move around and put ur luggage.....but toilet hahahahah am okay but I feel like it a bit small for me... 😅 Location: Very near with Longshan Temple (Blue Line) MRT station, just need to walk a few minutes..and the hotel area during night time a bit quiet but in a good way...not scary at all at least for me as a woman and alone. Lastly I really wanted to say a big thanks to Ms Yin for trusting me and putting the room card outside the hotel coz am arrived a bit too late....and even she allowed me to enter the room without check-in 🥰"

"I usually stay at hotels that are part of international hotel chains, but unfortunately, there aren’t many options from the hotel chains I normally stay with in Taiwan. I chose this hotel because it was the first one that came up in my search and the reviews were generally quite good. There are definitely some positive points. The housekeeping was excellent — the room was clean, tidy, and cleaned thoroughly throughout my 7-night stay. The hotel is also in a great location, and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. One feature I particularly liked was the automatic toilet, which was a nice touch and one of the reasons I’m giving the hotel 3.5 stars instead of 3. However, I have stayed at many genuine five-star hotels from international hotel chains, and based on my experience, I don’t think this hotel quite meets the standard of a five-star property. I booked a three-bed room, but the room felt quite small for three people. Even though there were two chairs at the desk, the desk itself was so small that it was basically full even when only one person was using it. For a room designed for three guests, I expected the workspace and overall usable space to be more practical. There were also some parts of the room that could use maintenance. For example, there was a section of the floor that felt uneven and slightly sunken when walking over it. These details may seem minor, but they are noticeable and not what I would expect from a hotel that presents itself as five-star. I also expected some basic amenities, such as a razor, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and bottled water, but none of these were provided. While the shampoo, shower gel, hand wash, and body lotion were all from the same line and had the same scent, there was no conditioner, which was surprising for a five-star hotel. The water system was also inconvenient. Guests have to get drinking water from a filtration machine themselves, and if you want a water pitcher, you have to request one. I understand that the hotel may be trying to reduce plastic waste and be more environmentally friendly, which I appreciate. However, in that case, a reusable water pitcher or glass bottle should be provided in the room from the beginning rather than making guests request one. The toilet area was also extremely small. Although I liked the automatic toilet, the bathroom door did not close properly. Even when closed, there was still a noticeable gap, which again is not what I would expect from a five-star property. Another issue was early check-in. I arrived several hours before the official check-in time and asked if I could check in early, but the hotel said I would have to pay for an additional full night. I found this particularly unreasonable considering that I was staying at the hotel for 7 nights. For a guest staying that long, I would expect the hotel to be a little more flexible and accommodating with early check-in, especially if the room was available. I would have understood a reasonable early check-in fee, perhaps 30–50% of the room rate, but charging an entire additional night felt excessive. To be honest, I have even stayed at non-chain three-star hotels that provided a better overall experience than this. That is why I find it difficult to consider this property a true five-star hotel. Overall, the hotel has a great location, fast Wi-Fi, excellent housekeeping, and some nice features such as the automatic toilet. However, considering the room size, limited amenities, maintenance issues, bathroom design, water system, and especially the early check-in policy, I feel this hotel is closer to a good four-star property than a true five-star hotel. If I were rating the hotel purely based on the room and overall five-star standard, I would probably give it 3 stars. However, because of the automatic toilet, fast Wi-Fi, good location, and excellent housekeeping, I’m giving it 3.5 stars overall."

"Really nice, but the air conditioning can't be controlled by yourself. So it gets really cold and you have to just turn it off. Breakfast was also delicious, the only downside is that there's only a staircase leading to the door. There are lots of shops nearby, which is super convenient"

"The location is really convenient, about 5 minutes walk to the metro station with a night market right downstairs. Can get a little crowded to walk past during the night market opening hours. One thing about my room was that it kind of had a smell to it. When I poured hot water down the bathtub drain, I saw a fly came up so…. Other than that the amenities are still okay. Laundry room is open 6am to 10pm. Receptionist was nice enough to extend a little for me when I asked if there was any nearby as I was cutting close. Also to request for late check out, it cost 300 NTD per hour."

"This hotel has an excellent location, just steps away from MRT Exit 2, making it incredibly convenient. We happened to visit during a typhoon, and we were so grateful that the MRT station was only a few steps away, making it easy and safe to get around. The front desk staff were also very friendly and kindly reminded us about the typhoon safety precautions. Although the room was compact, it was more than enough for two people. We could fully open two 28-inch suitcases without any problem, which was impressive. Considering the price in Taipei, it offers great value for money. If you get hungry at night, there’s a 7-Eleven right downstairs. The hotel is also within walking distance of Ximending, making it easy to explore the area."

"Very nice location. Away from noisy street but super close to ximending. There is a 7/11 nearby and a nice noodles shop downstairs. They also provide clean towels daily. Staff are nice and polite. The rooms mostly have big windows which means ventilation is good. Value for money is 10/10"

"The hostel is located very close to long Shan temple and to Taipei Main Station where I took the train from airport to the city. The hostel is next to a local market and lot of convenience store like 7-11 where you can buy and replenish fruits and other essentials. The bed is comfortable and toilets are clean. Air con is cold and water pressure at bath are excellent with good hot water supply too. There are plenty of toilets and bath despite numerous beds hosting many guests at one time, and I don’t have any issues of waiting for bath and toilet. There is even a cafe that sell simple food if ware lazy to go out. The price is reasonable too."

"This was my second stay, and unfortunately, it wasn't a great experience. The guy who checked me in was excellent though, and since there's no elevator, he kindly arranged for me to stay on the first floor for easier luggage handling. However, the room itself was quite old, the bathroom had a strange smell, and I kept hearing running water. What was most unbearable was the constant presence of small black flies in both the room and the bathroom. If you're a clean freak, you might want to think twice about staying here. On the upside, the location is pretty good and convenient for transportation."

"Our stay at Hub Hotel Ximen–Kunming Branch was excellent, and I highly recommend it. The hotel offers complimentary unlimited bottled water and a variety of bite-sized snack packs, which was a thoughtful touch. The location is very convenient, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and attractions. At the same time, it is far enough from the busy tourist streets of Ximending—about a 5-minute walk away—allowing guests to enjoy a peaceful and restful night’s sleep. The service and cleanliness were both commendable. Although the hotel was undergoing renovations during our stay, the staff managed everything professionally and maintained a clean, organized, and quiet environment throughout. Overall, it was a comfortable and pleasant experience."

"The property is near ximending area. I like it because the view is great from the buffet area where we had our daily breakfast, they always clean our room and the bed is comfortable. Will consider staying in this place when we visit taipei again. 😍"
