Taipei Songshan District 5-star Hotels

Purposely choose to stay with M.O. check-in process was smooth with special house tea and cold towels. The room was big and elegant setting. Toiletries were sufficient, however, with a strong sustainable mission. This MO still uses toothpaste instead of other MO toothpaste paper. I found their bath towels were rather old, which I don't expect from this level of Hotel. Most of the hotels have water kettle but not here. They offered a Japanese hot water machine which made me think of 30 years ago. Breakfast was great with a lot of varieties. I have the same similar level of hotel , they have a person to guide you to your room but not here.

I went to Taiwan on May Day and stayed in the newly opened Capella Hotel in Taipei for two nights. I would like to share my experience with you. The hardware environment of the hotel is first-class. From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I could feel Capella's consistent high-end aesthetics and quality standards. The reception hall on the 14th floor is grand and stylish. The living room has both check-in and lounge functions. Whether it is checking in, meeting guests or resting, it is very decent. The atmosphere is full and the details are luxurious. The breakfast is great, worthy of the standard of a luxury hotel. Finally, after Tokyo Park Hyatt, I saw a hotel breakfast with blueberry and strawberry, which directly added points. Capella breakfast includes champagne. It was champagne oysters early in the morning. I felt a little dizzy~ Taiwan's local specialty breakfast includes egg pancakes, beef noodles and porridge. The iced latte is unexpectedly delicious. Taiwan's beverages are really amazing! However, this stay experience was not satisfactory in terms of software services. It may be because it was newly opened. The room service response speed was extremely slow. When you need something urgently, you often have to wait for a long time, which affects your mood. Because of government regulations, the room is not equipped with any disposable toiletries. Although it is understandable, it always feels like the policy is used to prevaricate the service. When you actually check in, you need a shower cap and toothpaste, and you have to call again and again... The service response is slow, which is somewhat inconsistent with Capella's high-end positioning. What makes me most dissatisfied and worried is the problem of the swimming pool. The hotel has only one outdoor swimming pool on the 14th floor. My husband went to swim at 8:30 in the morning and returned to the room with severe discomfort. His heart rate soared to 160 and he didn't recover all day. The reason is that the water temperature of the swimming pool is too high, which has exceeded the normal body temperature of 37 degrees. This is not swimming but soaking in a hot spring, but there is no lifeguard in the swimming pool, which poses a great safety hazard. The communication with the foreign manager was fruitless, and he only kept saying: ”Thank you for your advice and provide us with valuable advice~ Our lifeguard only starts work at 8:30.” Shouldn't there be lifeguards when the swimming pool is open? There is no display of key information such as water temperature, water acidity and alkalinity, and water monitoring report of the day next to the swimming pool. Guests cannot understand the water quality and water temperature of the swimming pool and it is difficult to use it with peace of mind. In general, the hardware environment of Capella Taipei is indeed excellent, but many problems with software services affect the overall stay experience.

We've stayed at Green World ZhongXiao Hotel every time we've visited Taipei, primarily because of its prime location – just a minute's walk from the subway and surrounded by a variety of eateries, cafes, and shops. While the location has always been excellent, the service has consistently been disappointing. However, our most recent stay in April was particularly frustrating. While the service remained subpar, the hotel took things a step further by removing all amenities. To make matters worse, they posted a misleading notice claiming that this change was part of their commitment to government initiatives for a sustainable future. While we understand the importance of sustainability, it didn’t excuse the rude and unhelpful behavior we encountered when asking for something as simple as a shower cap—especially since it was clearly stated that we could request one if needed. What was even more frustrating was that the need to bring your own amenities was never communicated to guests prior to booking nor displayed on their website. Additionally, room cleaning was not provided unless specifically requested. This sentiment was echoed by both locals and foreigners. I believe the hotel has room for significant improvement in service standards and better communication to ensure a more pleasant experience for guests.

I stayed in this hotel quite often while visiting Taipei for a weekend. Location is great and is good value for money. The hotel is clean and service is nice. Don’t spect anything fancy though. They have a bar just down with craft local beer is quite nice.

We stayed here for a couple of nights. It's a typhoon day in Taiwan, all shops are closed, super windy that day. No choice but nowhere to go. Front desks are very accommodating, since last minute I did a room, and a lot of cancel room thats why I was able to get one, due to the said typhoon. Big room, huge beds, and a sort of mini dining table. Basically, it's so spacious. Corridors are big, and the design of the hallway overlooking the dining area is nice. But better with good signs of the room designation, if not, you might get lost. The hotel is very convenient with a convenient store beside it. MRT, Arena, shopping mall is just right the corner. Recommend for next stay. 我们在这里住了几晚。刚好入住时台风天，所有商店都关门了，那天风超大，别无选择，无处可去，住能留在饭店。 前台小姐非常热情，因为我临时多订了一间房，而且有很多人取消了房间，所以我才能订到，因为台风，不然爆满刚好当天‘’大明星开演唱会‘’’ 房间很大，床也很大，还有一张迷你餐桌。基本上，房间很宽敞。走廊很大，设计也很好，但美中稍有不足，最好走廊能有好的房间指示牌，不然你可能会迷路。 酒店非常方便，旁边有便利店。捷运、Arena、购物中心就在拐角处。 总言，饭店不错，值得再来住。

Location was great! Walking distance to Xi Men Ding, main Taipei Train Station, and to Beimen or Ximen train station. Our room was facing the intersection, but we could barely hear any noises from the road, Bed was comfortable, room was clean and looks very modern. Design and aesthetics of the room was meticulously planned. Toilet and shower felt very comfortable. Room service is provided daily. Getting our two bottles of free water daily. Room’s tv is controlled by an iPad, you may activate Chromecast so that you may use ur own personal devices to be reflected on the room’s tv. We had to request for a kettle as it was not provided. However, they gave it to us really quickly upon request.

I love the self check in because it is very convenient. Plus you can store your luggage with lock if you came in early. There are assistants too near the self-check in. I will choose here again if i came back to taiwan.

I stayed at **Just Sleep Hotel Ximending** with my family from December 10th to 15th, and while it had its positives, there were a few aspects that would make me hesitate to stay here again. Here's a breakdown of our experience: #### Location: The location is definitely a highlight. The hotel is in the heart of **Ximending**, just a short walk from Ximending MRT station, making it convenient for exploring the area. You’re surrounded by shops, restaurants, and entertainment, so it's ideal if you want to be in the middle of the action. #### Room: We stayed in the **Superior Family Room**, which was spacious and comfortable for our family of four. The room had a modern design, with comfortable beds, a TV, a mini-fridge, and a desk. The bathroom was a bit tight, but it worked well for our needs. The shower had good water pressure, and everything was clean and in good condition. #### Service: The service was friendly and helpful. The staff at the front desk were always ready to assist with recommendations for local attractions and were prompt in fulfilling our requests for extra towels and pillows. #### Amenities: The **breakfast** was okay, but not impressive. The buffet had a basic selection of both Western and ********* breakfast items, but it became repetitive, and the quality could have been better. It was just enough to get by, but nothing memorable. One issue that affected our stay was the **noise in the lobby at night**. It often felt like a social hangout spot, with a large group of people drinking beer and playing games. It wasn't always clear if all of them were hotel guests, and the noise was quite disruptive, especially for anyone trying to relax or sleep. If you're sensitive to noise, this might be a problem, as the lobby area gets pretty lively late into the night. #### Overall Experience: While **Just Sleep Hotel Ximending** offers great value for its central location and the rooms are generally comfortable, the noise from the lobby and the underwhelming breakfast left a bit of a negative impression. Based on this experience, **I probably wouldn't stay here again**. I would likely choose a hotel that's even closer to Ximending, with quieter surroundings and a better breakfast. Would I recommend it? If you're looking for a budget-friendly hotel in Ximending and don't mind some noise in the evenings, it could work for you. But for a more peaceful stay, I’d recommend looking at other options.

Actually everything was really nice. Nice Room, breakfast was good, candybar is super nice and the staff was friendly and helped us with the one problem we had: the bed. Super hard and uncomfortable. They gave us extra blankets to make it more soft but it helped just a bit. For 5 nights it was painful for less Nights it’s possible.

Had to change room a few times as the original room had no door for the toilets. the final room also lacked international plugs so need to bring your own adapter. overall, the room was still ok, but slightly dim. location of hotel was not bad too, quite central
