Hotels near Mingyao Department Store, Taipei

Amazing deco, nice room, pool, beef noodle, will go back

Amazing experience. No one in public onsen, free tea ceremony and minibar. Tasty breakfast. Mysterious atmosphere

The room was certainly small, beds were comfortable, and well maintained, making the stay good. The washrooms were very clean, which added to the overall comfort. Breakfast had ample options, including both Western and traditional choices, catering to different tastes. The hotel’s location is excellent, right by Wanhua Station and very close to the MRT, making travel extremely convenient. The staff were helpful and courteous, and the self check-in option was smooth and efficient.

We loved the very accessible, reasonable price, service, easy check in and check out, bed is firm enough for good back support and good sleep, it was truly a great stay . The only problem we encountered is that the noise from hallway and other rooms can be heard in our room.

Strategically located at Taipei main station, the heartland of Taipei where all attractions can be gone to with ease. Didn’t expect a lot from hostel. They can do daily cleaning. Disinfection when necessary and a good job done. Breakfast is simple. Everyone loves it.

I had a great stay at Papa Whale Hotel in Ximending, Taipei! Before my trip, I emailed them with a few questions, and the staff responded promptly every time. When I arrived a bit early before check-in, I could comfortably wait in the lobby, which was really nice and cozy. The staff were super helpful and spoke English very well. The hotel’s location is fantastic—right in Ximending, close to the night market and within walking distance to convenience stores, the MRT, and lots of great spots. It’s a popular place for tourists, so it tends to be fully booked often. I also opted for the breakfast buffet, which was really convenient. They had a good variety of dishes, including some nice shabu and other options, so I didn’t have to go out hunting for food in the morning—definitely worth it. The price overall was quite reasonable and good value for what you get. As for the room, I chose a basement room, which was actually quiet and cozy. The bed was comfortable, and I slept very well. The bathroom was nice, and the lighting was good. The housekeeping staff cleaned the room every day and always asked for permission politely if I was still inside—really considerate. While the room wasn’t super large, it was modern and clean. If I needed anything extra, the staff were always happy to help. It’s a short walk to the main Ximending walking street, and once you get used to it, it’s really convenient. Plus, there are lots of nice spots for photos if you like taking pictures. Overall, I slept really well and had a great experience. I’d definitely stay at Papa Whale again if I have the chance! 🩵

Perfect location, transportation is easy by bus's to the nearest train station or city centre. The hotel staff's were helpful, the room is clean, big, nice toilet and bathroom. The washbasin bottle trap not allowing water to escape quickly.

I like this place as it's very convenient to all the taipei main station and they provided all the amenities! Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Dyson for the hair dryer is TOP. Very safe and has luggage storage before/after check in/out

Nice hotel for business or family travel. The breakfast buffet was good, and they did made some changes to the spread daily. The kids liked the foods and room.

The location is great, near the market, bus station and metro
