Taipei Wanhua District Hotels

The hotel itself is great, with a super convenient location and excellent cleanliness. However, we couldn't get a suitable room on a higher floor. Guest rooms only start from the 8th floor, so our lower-floor room had a rather uninspiring view, mostly just rooftops of neighboring buildings. The room wasn't huge, but the layout was very well-designed; having dual sinks was incredibly convenient for multiple guests. The hotel's recreational facilities – gym, kids' playroom, and pool – all seemed unstaffed, relying entirely on guests' discretion. The corridors were rather dimly lit, discouraging any lingering. With a large number of rooms and guests, elevator wait times were long, and the lifts often felt quite crowded. Honestly, these minor issues are probably acceptable for someone just staying for a night or two on a regular trip. There were plenty of dining options nearby, so we didn't get a chance to try the hotel's own restaurants. A big plus was the toiletries; they felt eco-friendly and had a very stylish design.

The hotel had a good overall design and located at XiMenDing. Easily accessible through the Metro line.I especially love the room design where the toilet is separated away from the shower. Also prefer the room cleaning service to be in the afternoon on the next day so that we do not need to wake up early and rush out. The receptionists also will greet you warmly whenever you are coming back or going out of the hotel. The only inconvenience was probably the laundry service is not free and the dryer was not that hot despite the high temperature being chosen. The clothes were in the dryer for 30mins but there were still some parts of it being wet. Nonetheless, would still choose this hotel.

The room is good enough to move around inside with two pax. We expected toothbrush and toothpaste are provided,but there was none. Rooms are cleaned daily and they also change the towels everyday. We needed a flat iron and the staff let us borrow until we check out free of charge. Unfortunately, there is no whole body mirror to check on your ootds. There’s a laundry area free to use, but we weren’t able to since we always arrive from tours late at night.Location is perfect. It is near the station and a few steps to Ximending night market.

Very convinent location close of Ximen station. Just 7-8min walk with shelter mostly. Crowded and popular neighboring thus even late at night still lots of people around. Hotel lobby is 6/F. Get card to tap the senor to get lift to 5/F, which the lift lobby is filled with salon smell of perming and conditioner chemicals. The room is fine. No smell. Probably because it's furthest away from the lobby. It's clean. Towels and water pressure and temp are OK though the mirror is slightly damaged. Overall very good if you plan go out all the time and back just for sleep. The walls are super thin though. I heard the people next door shout / laugh / scream (there are kids next door) in late evening(like 11pm). I can't hear any noise outside though. A down side of the room is the one step up to the toilet and another step up to the bed which can be inconvenient for some people. To those with long hair: there is NO conditioner for hair provided. Appreciate if Trip or the hotel can update this. Otherwise helpful staff. I heard the breakfast that they help book is famous. I didn't try though.

Service: Front counter service was very impersonal. Didn't like the idea of them giving us a list of instructions/conditions upon check-in and one of it states that we had to check out on time or be charged NTD300 per hour after the check-out deadline. Having said this, I must commend the elderly gentleman who was in charge of the luggage. He saw us approaching at the end of a long day and immediately pressed the lift button for us. Although it was a small gesture, we really appreciated it. Housekeeping personnel, too, was very quick and responsive. Room: Size was spacious, but the bed was uncomfortably firm. The room on the whole looked dated. I got a room that had no windows. Thought it would be ok to stay in a room without a window, but 3 nights was too long, and I didn't like waking up to not knowing what the weather condition was like outside. So, just a point to consider if you want to pick the window-less room. Prior to East Dragon, I was staying at another smaller hotel near Taipei main station, and the experience was the complete opposite of this hotel. The front desk personnel was very warm, the bed was super comfortable, and it had free-flow of snacks and drinks in their common dining area. They also entertained late check-outs. At the end of the day, it felt like we were coming home after a tiring day. Sadly, we did not get this experience with East Dragon. Location: At the fringe of XMD and a short distance to Ximen MRT. However, if u want to do day trips around Taipei via public transport, staying near Taipei Main Station was more convenient. In short, would I stay at this hotel again? I doubt it. For the same price, I'd definitely pick the other smaller hotel as I truly enjoyed my stay there.

The standout feature of my stay was undoubtedly the exceptional front desk team. Every staff member I encountered was remarkably helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasure experience. Whether it was checking in, asking for local recommendations, or requiring assistance, they consistently delivered service with genuine warmth and professionalism. It’s located in the convenient position made it easy to access nearby attractions and amenities, making my stay both comfortable and practical.

I recently stayed at Rich Garden Hotel Taiwan, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The location is super convenient—just a short walk from Ximen Station, making it easy to explore all the best spots in Taipei. The rooms were clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with all the essentials provided. The breakfast spread was simple yet satisfying, offering both local and Western options. But what truly made my stay memorable was the outstanding service, especially from the receptionist Lena. She was incredibly warm, professional, and helpful throughout my stay. From the moment I checked in, she made me feel welcomed and taken care of. Whether it was helping with directions, giving local tips, or simply greeting me with a smile every day—Lena went above and beyond. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and exceptional hospitality. Thank you again to Lena and the entire Rich Garden Hotel team!

We had a pleasant stay at Wholesome Hotel. Although we experienced a small hiccup during our first few hours—the air-conditioning had an issue—it was promptly resolved while we were out enjoying dinner. When we returned, everything was already fixed, which we truly appreciated. Throughout our stay, the room was consistently cleaned while we were out on tours. We also requested extra pillows, and the team provided them without hesitation. The staff were genuinely accommodating and helpful—I wish I had the chance to get their names to personally thank them. One thoughtful touch that stood out was being able to borrow an umbrella during rainy weather, which saved us from having to purchase one and was easy to return at checkout. The room itself was spacious enough for two people. While it didn’t have a bidet, it was still very comfortable—especially for a budget-friendly hotel. Its location is a big plus, being close to the night market and just steps away from affordable food options downstairs. We also opted for the daily buffet breakfast, which turned out to be a great choice. Having a hearty breakfast each morning kept us energized for our full-day tours. Overall, we were very happy with our stay. We felt safe, well taken care of, and would gladly recommend Wholesome Hotel for travelers seeking comfort, convenience, and value.

The entrance of the hotel is not quite easy to find....quite confusing since Star Ximen is only 9th and 10th floor and the elevator on the side street is on the open ground level...(you get what you pay for), so don't expect too many facliities and amenities...the room is good enough for 4 people and you can open your medium luggage without any hassles...

Location, cleanliness, budget is 5 out of 5. But because of its green efforts, guest have to go to alternate floors to draw water into a glass bottle. There is no dining room for breakfast and guest are given MOS Burger or Louisa Coffee vouchers to collect or dine at the outlet. Location s are about 200~300m away from the hotel. A hassle especially during rainy days. Although it is a smoke free hotel, i could smell hints of smoke coming through the central AC system...probably guest in other rooms are smoking with their windows open.
