Hotels With Bar in Taiwan, China

Nice hotel with water fountains on every floor. I would give this a 4/5 though because the elevators are atrocious. You have to wait 10-20 minutes sometimes just to get back up or down. And not all elevators go to all floors which is very inefficient. They also had the pool closed and the gym was just treadmills and bikes. Where are the weights? lol All in all it was still a good experience and we had a nice time while visiting Taipei. There is a lot around the Ximending area where the hotel is located.

Overall a decent stay for a first time visit to Taipei. The highlight was the central location, otherwise nothing particularly special. Luggage storage and the one friendly woman with glasses that helped with our luggage was great. Unfortunately, the shower was quite filled with mold all around; carpets were not the cleanest; and the TV remote/functionality simply never worked. Like others noted, elevator system is very time-consuming as the hotel is located on the 7th/8th floors of a larger building, but you get used to it and not a big deal. Bed & pillows were neutral and decent enough to sleep. Fridge was nice, and Family Mart right downstairs! Pretty basic but did the job - able to easily traverse the city from main station and surrounding!

I recently stayed at Hotel Midtown Richardson in Taipei and found it to be an excellent choice for travelers seeking convenience and modern comfort. Located steps away from Ximen MRT Station (Exit 4), the hotel places you in the bustling Ximending district, surrounded by shopping, street food, and cultural landmarks like the Red House Theater. This prime location made exploring Taipei effortless, with direct MRT access to major attractions such as Taipei 101 and Ningxia Night Market. The room I booked was a Deluxe Twin, which was spacious and well-equipped with amenities like a fridge, flat-screen TV, and free tea/coffee. The minimalist, ”industrial-chic” design gave the space a clean, modern feel. The bathroom impressed me with its automatic松下 (Panasonic) bidet toilet, though the shower’s poor water containment was a minor inconvenience. Housekeeping maintained high standards, with timely room cleaning. Service was efficient overall. The self-check-in kiosks streamlined arrival, and the 24-hour front desk provided helpful travel advice. While the hotel lacks elevators for upper-floor rooms, staff assisted with luggage. The free lobby coffee/tea station was a nice touch, though breakfast (available at an extra cost) offered a decent variety, including fresh fruits and local dishes. Two drawbacks stood out: soundproofing could be improved, as hallway noise was occasionally audible, and the shower’s design led to water splashing. However, these were outweighed by the hotel’s strengths. For budget-conscious travelers, its value-for-money pricing and perks like free luggage storage make it ideal for extended shopping sprees in Ximending. Final Verdict: Hotel Midtown Richardson excels in location and functionality. While not luxurious, it delivers a reliable, clean, and strategically located base for exploring Taipei. Highly recommended for first-time visitors and shopaholics!

Grand Hotel Taipei – A Stay with a View & Secrets Beneath Staying at Grand Hotel Taipei is more than just luxury—it’s an experience. The grand architecture, stunning city views, and peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect retreat. But the real surprise? A hidden tunnel beneath the hotel, originally built as an escape route for Chiang Kai-shek. For a small fee, you can explore this secret passage, adding a touch of mystery to your stay. Combine that with sunrise views of Taipei 101 from the balcony, and it’s a stay worth remembering. #GrandHotelTaipei #HiddenTunnels #Taipei101 #TravelTaiwan

The location of the hotel is fantastic. Close walk to Taipei Main Station and Taoyuan Airport MRT station for transportation (just need to figure out the right exit to enter or exit the station), walking distance to Ximenting for shopping, there are lots of eateries nearby, Chengzhong Market (城中市场 translate to Market in the city), a local market, is walking distance with lots of local food stalls. The staff are friendly and helpful. The lobby area is quite spacious with some longish siting area. There is no common area to work though. We booked 2 types of room for our group. Share Studio and Classic Twin. The Share Studio comes with 4 single beds, no window, but spacious. However, the toilet ergonomics not so good as there is no space to place toiletries in the shower cubicle except on the floor. 1 bit towel and a small towel are provided for, together with 2 paper cups for each bed. Each bed has a luggage storage area under the bed, a lockable drawer, and a small compartment for storing things. Each bed comes with a small retractable desk with its own light at the foot of the bed. The Classic Twin has better ergonomics in the toilet, and has windows to get ventilation (if needed). This room is considered more premium than the Share Studio, it comes with tea and coffee, and ceramic cups. In each room a water jug is provided for, and at least 2 water stations are available on each floor. Will I stay here again? Definitely.

Room is clean and nice, staff is friendly and helpful and location is good. It is just about 3 mins walking distance to Shilin Night market, with a few 7 eleven and family marts in different corner. It’s better to book higher floor to see the view.

We have enjoyed our stay. It’s new, modern and very clean. The first night was wonderful and quiet. The second night, we had a family next door talking till midnight which was so noisy and annoying. We have told the hotel during the check in that we would like a room in quiet corner or next to quiet elderly residents. Apart from that, it was a good experience for our family. The breakfast is not bad, can be improved.

Front desk staff are super professional and helpful, particularly Ms Wu and Mr Wang, very efficient service even in the middle of the night, when ceiling has water dripping.  Very comfortable seating area in lobby with 24 hours coffee, tea and hot water.  There’s no heating, the room can get quite cold near ***** new year time.  Very close to 六合夜市 night market and Formosa subway station. Good value for the money paid.

Very good location, surrounded by public transport & 20mins walk to Ximending night market. Literally opposite Taipei Main Station. The concierge will help you to keep your bag after checkout.

My wife and I found the staff here to be especially helpful and conscientious. The room was what you would expect for a hotel in this price range, and it included an electric kettle and some free tea and coffee. The beds and temperature were comfortable, and the room was clean and in good condition, featuring good lighting in general and very good reading lights for night reading. The exercise room was limited to a few stationary bikes and treadmills with no other workout facilities, but it was easy to access and had a nice, big window. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a good variety of well-prepared food, plenty of seating (indoors and outdoors), and nice decor. We ate there three times and were always pleased with the food and service. There are plenty of restaurants, banks, and stores near the hotel, and it's about a 10 minute taxi ride from the train station. We highly recommend this place.

I could not believe how clean and comfortable this hotel was! It was amazing. Cosy, friendly and in a perfect location for sights and attractions. The Solaria Nisitetsu Hotel has thought of everything. There are fresh fluffy dryers for umbrellas, self-select toiletries, secure luggage lockers, and step-up stool placed next to the washing machine to help you unload the dryer, ( I had just thought a stool would be helpful, I saw it.) Right in the heart and liveliness of the city. The hotels ambience was relaxing. I arrived during a storm, the lobby brought a lovely view, international newspapers and magazines, fresh coffee and stylish decoration. It was a treat to relax there. The friendly team made a huge effort to share the best in service and create a remarkable experience, and they did. Experiencing warm welcomes and genuine kindness, I can not thank the team enough. I appreciated the follow-up on travel questions, the team shared tailored recommendations for art galleries and theatre tickets, considering and checking what was accessible during the storm. The professional reception team, shared helpful suggestions on metro routines too, with times to visit areas and sights to see along the way. These suggestions made a difference. The room standard was amazing. The amenities are five-star standard, and the cheerful housekeeping team were kind and friendly. I would like to extend a huge thank you to the team who was a pleasure to meet. There are many shout-outs for this stay. The kind and thoughtful little things such as handy guidebooks and a well-kept, new gym. Thank you. I will stay again. I hope the weekend brings you a lovely moment for the Solaria Nisitetsu Hotel team in their vibrant neighbourhood.

One of our favorite hotels in Taipei. Service and amenities were perfect. On top of all that, they have a great sauna area and a very very decent gym. One of the most elaborate setup that i have seen, with numerous machines. Definitely a recommend. We got a nice lucky little surprise upgrade and that was amazing.

Pros: The room is brand new and beautifully designed. There is a chaise lounge, a desk and chair, a small chair, and a wooden floor area. A family of four can sit and rest before taking a bath. There is also a balcony, capsule coffee, and the bathroom is separated into wet and dry areas. The overall design is great, the space is large, the floor is clean, the TV channels are very popular with the kids, and the overall hardware is very popular Although the area is a little remote, it is about 15 minutes' drive from the city center, and there is a convenience store within walking distance, which is quite convenient. The parking lot is very good and parking is convenient Disadvantages: The restaurant is beautiful, but the number of seats is insufficient. Even with the split dining, it still feels crowded. The food is not replenished quickly enough. The waiters have a gloomy look on their faces and are not enthusiastic about serving. There are hairs in the cold dishes. There is a game area and free happy hour on the second floor. The online introduction said there were many cocktails, drinks, cookies... In fact, there were only two cans of candy, a small pot of juice, and a small pot of beer. It was marked as not unlimited drinking, which means that it was gone after drinking. However, there are 170 rooms, so this happy hour is quite insincere. There are welcome tea bags and biscuits in the lobby, just two plates, and they are gone after taking them. The service attitude of the counter staff is better than that of the restaurant, but they are not enthusiastic and have no smiles. It can be improved. In addition, the parking entrance and exit are two-way, and the poles on both sides are too long, which is easy to scratch the car body. It is recommended to make it shorter.

Nice hotel. Booked a room for 4 people it was jot very spacious but could just fit us in. Convenient as it was next to taichung train station. Do not be confused with the high speed rail. The high speed rail is another station.

Room was quite big and clean. They did not by default provide toothbrush and toothpaste (which was fine for us as we brought our own), and we were told that if we could leave a 5-star review on Google review, they would provide it as a token. This was a bit strange as how would we know whether it's a 5-star experience before we stay / and if it's a 5-star experience after we stay, the token (toothbrush and toothpaste) would be useless for us already.

Palmer hotel's location is very central, near taroko mall, Taichung park, Taichung train station and miyahahara ice cream shop. Palmer hotel offers buffet breakfast and also has a self laundry - coin operated same floor with the buffet. Room is big, 2 elevators working and quick checkin and check-out process. Thank you for the good service.

The hotel was not near any train station ao we have to take a taxi from Taichung HSR to the hotel. Check in was smooth and the room was one of the best hotel we have stayed in Taiwan. Very spacious and clean. Comes with bathtub and a TV while you are soaking. We got a very nice room that we are able to see countdown fireworks. Hotel location is good as it is about 5 mins walking dostance to Fengjia Night Market. Walkable to convinence stores and eateries. Highly recommend to stay here.

Location and breakfast are good Washing machine is a plus point However dryer is not good as it took very long to get all clothes to dry Waited up to 1.30am Plus point is sunrise view from room

LIKED: 1. Budget friendly 2. Laundry room availability DISLIKED: 1. Size of the room 2. Smell of the room (smelled damp, probably from the carpeted floor) 3. No bidet in the bathroom 4. Shampoo and shower gel were in the form of small sachets, barely enough for 1 person to use 5. Electrical sockets were behind the beds, you'd need to move the beds to use them. Otherwise there's only 1 socket next to the table and another one in the bathroom next to the toilet 6. Breakfast selection was very limited and in a basement that is relatively dark. There's no hot water dispenser there so if you want to drink tea, you either have to prepare hot water in your room or from the dispenser on the first floor.

The hotel is located near city centre and close to train, bus station.  From the hotel room you can see the train station.  Behind the hotel is a shopping mall  and plenty of food hall and restaurants.  But no laundry at the hotel and there is a street laundry about 400 m away.  The bathroom orientation is a bit awkward.

After trying several hotels, now I always stay in Lin whenever I am in Taichung. Centrally located and best hotel. Room size is too big and breakfast buffet spread is also very vast

Very nice room, i booked the capsule type but they upgraded to a single room instead, it was very nice. Location is very good, near taichung main station, Bus stop, and miyahara.

Front desk staff are super professional and helpful, particularly Ms Wu and Mr Wang, very efficient service even in the middle of the night, when ceiling has water dripping.  Very comfortable seating area in lobby with 24 hours coffee, tea and hot water.  There’s no heating, the room can get quite cold near ***** new year time.  Very close to 六合夜市 night market and Formosa subway station. Good value for the money paid.

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.

The location of Han Hsien is very convenient. It’s only twenty minutes from the airport. There are coffee shops, bakeries, and markets, fruit stalls and flower shops in the neighbourhood. The Birthday Park is just around the corner. There is a pool, a spa and a Cantonese dim sum restaurant in the hotel which are all of good standard. The hotel is not new but it is well-maintained.

It was first bad hotel experience booking thru trip.com. Traveled with 2 kids under 13. We drove to Kaoshiung from Taipei. Arrived late night. There's no parking lot provided but have to park somewhere 3 walk at a opposite the hotel. Paid TWD100 per entry on the following day before leaving. The hotel looks good at the public areas, except our room. We were given a room at 6th floor. It looks like under construction and no other guests were staying on that floor. If we were not 4 together, I dare not stay alone. What was disappointed was the room is very very old. Everything old style. The carpet is dirty. We have to wear the paper slippers (the worst hotel slipperstgat I had ever seen) to walk on the carpet. We tried to push a bed to the side to the wall, but the floor under the bed is very dirty, even found a plastic slipper (not a pair). We guessed it was left by the previous guest and the room was not totally cleaned. We quickly put the bed back. The shower pipe also not very well working and weak power water. Quite disappointed. 2 Good points: 1. The hotel is near to the night market: It's just 3~5 mins walk from hotel. 2. The breakfast was quite good.

A staff questioned me ”Are you bring the tower back? what is your room number in front of other guests” when We were leaving swimming pool. I didn't bring the dry cloth to change aso I had tower to cover me. The staff's attitude made me feel embarrassing. For me, the service level is very low. However, all the other staff are very kind with smile especially the staff in the 1/F.

They gave us a free upgrade and overall it was a pleasant stay. I saw a dead cockroach in the bathroom sink as I walked into the room though..

Dear FINE HOTEL, Without further Ado, I would like to reach out to the management of FINE HOTEL, I've expierience a very unforgettable moment of good service coming form the housekeeping staff. During my 3 nights and 4 days stay in your hotel. I like to thank especially the receptionist for making me feel the outstanding hospitality that you've shown me. GODBLESS, I do appreciate your heart warming service. SatisfiedGuest, Helen A. Co

The location’s great, and it’s really affordable. However, it’s not very clean, and the facilities are bit old.

Decent cosy hotel. There’s only Taiwan local power socket available in the room so you’ll need to bring adapters. Breakfast is simple yet acceptable.

I had an amazing stay here: very clean and I love the room layout. I arrived in the evening and thanks to the staff, who was accommodating to my special request. The large room can actually fit 3 people, too bad I only traveled alone. Aside from the large bed, the sofa can be converted to an extra bed. But the price I paid was worth it, even if I stayed alone. I'll definitely stay here again next time, with family/friends. 🥰
