4 Stars Hotels in Taiwan, China

Booked this hotel for our last night in Taipei. It is strategically located across Ximending. It is a self-check in but there are staffs who will be assisting you. During our stay, there are bunch of teenagers who were very noisy, we can hear the noises from our room. Nevertheless, the hotel is good as well as with the breakfast buffet where there are a lot of food choices.

Although the hotel is rather strict on the check in time which is 3:00pm it is actually due to it's full capacity booking situation And they need guest to check out before 11:00am in order I believe to have enough time to clean up This is a 12 storeys high building not taking into account the 2 basements I believe also being converted into rooms too When I checked in on 29 July 2024 and a quick check on Trip.com shows it is already fully booked throughout the week. The counter service staff is always keen and eager to receive guest,doing their best eg answering questions on travel with subways and high speed rails etc Necessities like hand washing soap,earbuds,disposable shaving kit including tea,coffee making and hot water is available at the lobby area. Overall my 4 nights stay here is a value for money case Walking distance to the subway is under 500 metres.

Good things first - Location is excellent if you need to be near Songshan airport. Room is large. ********* hotels no longer provide toothbrushes & toothpaste - this is apparently a government regulation. The provided toiletries e.g. soap are not great. however, there were good quality bedroom slippers were a v pleasant surprise. I checked in after 9pm on a Friday with a flight to catch in 10hrs' time. Staff were friendly at check-in. Noticed no water was provided in the rooms. A large notice was displayed informing us to contact them on their app for ALL services. The app showed there was no room service menu, so no worries, I thought I'd just buy cup noodles from the very well-stocked 7-11 located in the lobby, and boil some water. The kettle's plug was severely bent. The app did not understand 'kettle faulty' and kept telling me where it was. That's when I realised their app was just a useless robot! Tried ringing Housekeeping from the room phone but nobody picked up. Brought the kettle to Front desk to show them. Counter lady had 0 apologies, just an unfriendly expression and told me I should have just called them 🙄. Her more-professional colleague said they'd help me contact Housekeeping. Housekeeping brought along another faulty kettle 🤦🏻♀️ but he was at least apologetic. While waiting for him to bring a 3rd one, I called the Front Desk again intending to ask for free water since their amenities suck. Just my luck - grumpy lady picked up and - again - without apology, kept interrupting me to declare they DID have water but it was self service and that they DID inform guests with small print on their key card and a picture of water on the room door. What the...?! I told her she had a terrible attitude, at which she laughed and I hung up. I've stayed in hotels where water was self-service - BUT those hotels ensured guests were well notified at check-in and large signs were displayed in various languages in the rooms. In comparison - Illume failed miserably in this area, and their failure was further exacerbated by faulty equipment, poor service standards (lousy app + ill-manned housekeeping hotline) & the Front Desk staff's inhospitable attitude.

Super convenient hotel for a long layover. Early breakfast was amazing. Set up transportation back to the airport. High quality place to stay!

Walking distance from Houyi station (there's 3 bubble tea shops along the way). One thing to note: nearest exit (exit 3) have escalators going upwards only, need to walk to a further exit with a lift (exit 2). Room wasn't very clean, TV remote control was so dusty. Hotel breakfast was meh, disappointing.

Though the hotel is a bit dated, it was still comfortable. The bed table part is a bit dusty, but the overall cleanliness was acceptable. The breakfast offered a lovely view and tasty food. The service was excellent, and just 10-minute walk from Ximen Station.

We really loved the pub that is under the hotel, which had daily free beer perks if you patronised them! The beers were really refreshing and yummy! Our stay came with breakfast, which was not bad, but you wouldn't really want to have hotel breakfast every day when there is so much to eat in Taipei. We also loved the hotel concept and would totally return again! Thank you PapaWhale for being a place we want to go back to, after a long day of exploring, every day!

Pros: The room is clean and tidy. Can have the rooms clean daily and toiletries are replenished daily. We appreciate the free mini bar! Very good selection of breakfast Not too central, but there are nearby bus stops. Near Ningxia Market. A Starbucks Reserve shares a building with the hotel A Carrefour Market is just across, too. Cons It's a bit of a walk if you prefer taking the train.

A supposedly 4 star hotel that delivers the bare minimum. Nothing to shout about, had an unobjectionable stay here in January this year and was happy with the location and relatively clean room so decided to book again for 5 nights for my recent trip. Regretted my decision as I felt that the service was lackluster. Upon entering the room we saw that the double bed was made up by 2 twin beds unlike our initial experience so we approached the front desk to enquire if a change was possible as we do not like the feel of the gap between the beds and the light switches were behind our pillows making the lights on/off if we were to even lightly lean on the headboard. The answer we got was that we should have indicated that request upon check in and it is a common process for hotels to join 2 twin beds and sell them as a double room. The front desk manager also said the check in rate was 98% that night. We then asked if we could have a change the next day and the reply was to come down and check again tmr. No effort to assist and instead all we felt was him trying the shift the blame to us when all we requested was a double bed when it is available. That left an extremely sour taste in our mouth. The next morning, I woke up with red bites on my arms, legs and torso, however my partner didn't had any so I did not relate it to the cleanliness of the room. The next 2 morning remained to be the same and we requested a change of room which we were given. The itchiness subsided after the change. The staff also passed a cream for itchness to me. But she mentioned it may be mosquito bites which I can tell it isn't as they are in clusters. Location was convenient for us as it is near the banqiao transfer station and there are food choices around the hotel as well as a few family marts.

There's a space for coffee and cookie at the lobby, very near to the metro station daan, location is excellent, the breakfast selection is quite limited, there's food nearby hotel. Night market is a stop away which is good, taipei 101 is 2 stop apart. The room is clean and nice, the service is good and friendly.

The location of the hotel is very convenient and there are still many shops and restaurants opened at night when we went back. It’s spacious on the reception floor and you may get toothbrush, comb etc near the reception. There is a refreshment area that you may get hot water, coffee and teabags. The room is clean. You may enjoy HBO and Anime channel in the room. I am satisfied with this hotel and I will definitely come back.

We stayed here on the last day before coming back home. Staffs were really nice and friendly. The rooms looked like as we expected from the photos. The rooms need abit of renovation. Alot of stuffs are abit old. Some switches are broken. We still had a very good time with the hot spring bath.

Have a short trip at Tai Pei with my wife in last weekend. Noted that this hotel was newly built in 2021 and so close to subway station (3mins walking distance), so we confirmed to book this hotel. Besides close to subway, it also closes to some cultural sightseeing spot, famous restaurants and coffee shop, all of them are within 10mins walk. Interior design of the room is simple with slightly Japanese style and spacious. If the room is clean, simple & relax decoration and big enough are already a good choice of hotel room for me and my wife. And the cost is reasonable. But we didn't try the breakfast, so no comment on this part. Will recommend to others and we may rebook again in next time.

1) sulphur springs smell like sulfur 2) it’s musty in part of it (it’s a hot springs hotel) 3) it’s in an area with a lot of hot springs 4) it’s 20 minute walk from city center 5) breakfast buffet kinda sucks 6) the private sulfur bath tubs when using the sulfur option is really sulfur but you can dilute it with normal water 7) it has public sulfur hot springs at the facility 8) rooms can be cute but sulfur bath smells like sulfur 9) if you are going to be there for one day : I recommend coming early . We arrived at night and really didn’t get to enjoy the city or facilities as much as we should have. 10) if you want to experience hot springs there are also public options without getting a hotel room at one of these resorts 11) probably check out the beitou museum up the street for their set meal cuz it’s cute. 12) I wish I had dipped in the sulfur baths more : it really smoothes the skin . I didn’t because I came in the evening

Although the hotel is rather strict on the check in time which is 3:00pm it is actually due to it's full capacity booking situation And they need guest to check out before 11:00am in order I believe to have enough time to clean up This is a 12 storeys high building not taking into account the 2 basements I believe also being converted into rooms too When I checked in on 29 July 2024 and a quick check on Trip.com shows it is already fully booked throughout the week. The counter service staff is always keen and eager to receive guest,doing their best eg answering questions on travel with subways and high speed rails etc Necessities like hand washing soap,earbuds,disposable shaving kit including tea,coffee making and hot water is available at the lobby area.

Location is great, located in between Formosa Boulevard Station and Kaohsiung station. It's within walkable distance to Liouhe Nightmarket. You can get around the city by Youbike which is very convenient. The staffs were not very friendly but they did their job. Breakfast was not good so I didn't go on my second morning but just to have a coffee. The hotel is clean, it is just quite old, but the room is very spacious.

The location is good. Service is good as well. My daugther forgot her cap at one restaurant in kaosiung. The hotel counter helped her reached out to that restaurant and get the cap back without any fee! The room is also spacious and cuteee. Would definitely recommend here.

We stayed 3 days and were very satisfied with the service! Staff were very courteous as we came in and out of the facilities and when we arrived at our room they had left a little welcome snack pack as I’d mentioned that this trip is a bit of a celebration. The location of the hotel was also very convenient for our travels. The hotel itself is a little old but it’s maintained pretty well, I never felt unsafe or that the hotel itself was unclean, it’s just noticeably an older building. If I’m ever back in Kaohsiung I’d definitely book this hotel again

The location is good, walking distance around 10 min to kaohsiung train station. Most of the night markets and tourist attraction places require transportation by using the MRT. The buffet bf is mostly Asian Chinese food with loaf of bread with jam provided. This hotel provides free black Coffee and small packets of tidbits (machine with coffee bean provided) at the coffee house. Staff are friendly and can speak English One poor thing is the mattress is hard but my family still acceptable except the poor pillow, the conditions is terrible straight became flat once you laid down

The hotel is spacious and breakfast is good. No swimming pool. There is a mall near hotel and can walk to that shopping mall in 8 minutes. The hotel provides public washing machine & drying machine. They also have a kid’s play area thought very small.

1. It’s great to have Starbucks in the hotel! 2. Excellent location and excellent children's play facilities 3. The service staff are courteous and the free upgrade to a river view room on weekdays is really nice! 4. A great experience to stay with small children, a truly unforgettable trip. Will definitely visit again.

It was quite fun. The hotel, department store and amusement park were all in the same place, within walking distance. The three-day and two-night trip was really fun. The kids had so much fun that they were so noisy that they didn’t want to go home! I’ll schedule a trip like this next time.

Checking in process was smooth. Parking was also available at a parking building in front of the hotel. Room were suitable enough for four adults(we travelled as a family of two adults and two kids). Generally clean, staff was great. Breakfast was decent. Drinking water dispensers available at every floor. The only downside is you need to do laundry before 10pm as it’s mentioned that the room will be closed. It is free though, so good job for that.

Convenient location, with Nike and other outlet shops, different types of food along the street. However, hotel is a little bit old and old style if you don’t mind, you can hear the air con, pipes or the sound of the next room at night, so if you are “lucky” to get one of these rooms, try to ask for another one. Be aware not to open the window, there’s mosquitoes to annoy you whole night. Remember to get mosquito repellent at the convenient store nearby. Breakfast include vegetarian selection with buffet style, eat all you want. **********************************************************

The location of the business travel is close to Fengjia Night Market, and there are Taiwanese snacks at the intersection before the business travel is convenient for the night. The service is convenient~ There are 50 points, because everything is bad in the stinky CI counter glasses lady, maybe the world owes her money. And in response to her not knowing the event, the lady said ”no such activity” as soon as she opened her mouth. When I showed the event copy evidence, she shut up. Instead, the male service staff on the side was very patient when assisting the CI. Secondly, some rooms are really very small, and the hanging decoration next to the bed will knock on the guests, so it is a very strange small room. The bathtub is very small and the water is not hot, the water is not hot, and the water is not hot.

Repeat stay at this hotel, with reliable reputation, excellent location close to TaiChung train station, clean rooms and outstanding team of staff here :) One of my friends was quietly celebrating birthday during stay, but the team noticed the birthdate on passport during check-in and surprised the group with a cake and a personalised greeting card. This was attentive and expectational for the hotel team, in addition to the continued good reputation of City Inn Hotel (Taichung Station). Thank you and all the best!

this hotel has a very nice location. walking distance to the night market and so many restaurants close by. the best beef noodle shop is across the street. we ordered twice there. the hotel has a car park, which is very nice. first time taking an elevator to the car park. the staff are very friendly.

Not very far from the mrt station. It would have been nearer to the mrt if there is a mrt entrance on the same side of the road. Unfortunately there isn't an mrt entrance on the same side of the road so you need to cross a major road to get to the mrt. Bring your own tooth brush and tooth paste. The hotel don't provide. If you asked for daily towel change or anything that most other hotels usually provide, you will likely be told that the hotel should charge you. One or 2 of the hotel reception front desk staff is not polite and not helpful at all. In fact the restaurant staff is much more polite and friendly to the hotel guest than the hotel reception staff. If you expect a warm reception and expect to feel welcomed at the hotel reception do not stay in this hotel.

The service attitude of the check-in counter, the staff and the parking lot guy are all very kind and friendly. The single room is clean and comfortable. It is a hotel operator that can be added to the list👍👍👍

Hotel is located at a great location, nice facilities and good cleanliness in my room. My only feedback is that for people who drive, please be aware. The carpark entrance is at the back entrance of the hotel where the convenience stall is located. This hotel uses an Over Car Bonnet Storage system. We were greeted unpleasantly by the carpark assistant (an old man), not only were we not allowed to unload our luggage before parking, he didn't even bother assisting us with our carriage. To make matters worst, we saw him help another guest on arrival that was behind us at that time, to unload their luggage and give them guidance in parking. On my last day, i was awoken by the hotel staff through the hotel phone. They told me that my car was not parked properly and they could not activate the lever system for the carpark. Yes i would apologize if i have parked off by 2cm outwards, but I was woken up rudely in the morning after a long tiring night before with no apologies whatsoever. A note to future hotel guest, if you intend to have your car parked in the hotel, please be mindful the space is not very SUV friendly.

Positives: - Huge room with separate living room and bedroom (2 TVs too) - balcony for fresh air - bose Bluetooth speaker - tv comes with pre loaded apps like YouTube - toilet has separate shower and tub - 7/11 next to hotel - Zhongxiao night market just one street away - breakfast decent variety - Excellent service - complimentary coffee and tea in lobby Negatives: - bed kind of hard - sound insulation not the best (can hear outside traffic) - tub is a tad short - living room area is kind of dark even with all the lights on - ceiling is a little low - no conditioner or body lotion provided - only two lifts and quite small so sometimes the wait for the lifts can take a while

The room is large, with two bathrooms. The air-conditioning is cold enough. The sound insulation of 6009 is also very good. The sound of walking and driving vehicles is small. The late-night snack is not ideal. There are only instant noodles, oden, braised pork rice and biscuits. The coffee machine has a button. All I got was just boiling water, but the breakfast was much better. The Chinese dishes were good, and I felt full after eating a lot. The location is good, and there is a convenience store downstairs.
