Mountain View Hotels in Taipei

The day of my check-in was the official opening day of the InterContinental Taipei Hotel. The check-in process was smooth, and the Hong Kong receptionist was very attentive. The room was spacious with a great view, overlooking Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. Although the phone was occasionally unanswered due to the new opening, there were no unpleasant smells from the renovations in the guest rooms and lounge. They even thoughtfully provided some sleep aids every night! 👍 The hotel is right next to the Taipei Dome, close to Songshan Cultural and Creative Park and Eslite Bookstore, and a 15-minute walk to Uni-President Department Store.

If you're in Taiwan for a concert at Taipei Dome this is definitely your stay. It's just a 5 mins walk from the concert venue. It's actually within the Song Shan cultural park so there's also many exhibitions and weekend flea markets to explore around there. Convenience stores within the vicinity and many nice eateries too. For night owls, the 24 hrs Eslite bookstore is just next door. The room is also spacious and clean. The hotel staff upon realizing that I was there for a concert immediately offered me a room with the view of the Taipei Dome.

This hotel was my first stop on my trip to Taiwan, and its location is excellent, right in front of Taipei Metro's Xinbeitou Station. The hotel facilities are also great. The most comfortable feature was being able to choose my pillow, including a memory foam option, which gave me the best two nights' sleep during my Taipei trip. The rooftop hot spring facilities are also very good; although not large, they are very clean and comfortable. Furthermore, the hotel's breakfast quality is excellent, with high-quality salads and delicious stewed soup. The staff service was also fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Beitou for the first time.

Location: 10/10 Connected to all the public transport (A bit of a trek to taipei main station or ximen station, but not bad at all) Amenities: didn’t do much at the hotel but we enjoyed the breakfast buffet (although it would be better to ask us to settle the bill before we are seated or after we ate, not when we’re in the middle of stuffing our faces with food. It was a bit annoying.) Service: omg our room was maintained well and I told the front desk my partner is celebrating his bday and they sent some gifts to our room! The front desk also was great with giving recommendations. I like this hotel. It was an awesome stay! I have a video of our room but I don’t think I can upload it.

The internet in the room we were originally going to stay in was broken, so we couldn't watch TV. We were notified by phone before check-in and were told that there was only one accessible room left, which only had one bathtub. I agreed to change the room type at the time, but the service staff said that we could decide on the spot whether to change back to the original room type with two bathtubs. After discussing with my family, we decided to choose a room with two bathtubs because six people would have to take turns taking a hot spring bath, which would be time-consuming. So we immediately changed back to the original room type when we checked in and were successfully checked in. But after checking in, I found that in addition to the internet, this room type had other problems. The floor was hardly cleaned and was covered with sand. The pillows were moldy. The facilities were also quite old. The bathroom door was difficult to close. For some reason, the bathroom had a drain hole that was sealed, so water accumulated on the floor after taking a shower. I stayed here once before and thought it was good, so I arranged to stay here again, but the quality this time was really disappointing😿

The room was very clean, although a bit outdated since it’s an older building, and there were a few cracks on the walls. Still, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was good. Considering the price, it was definitely not bad. I also appreciated the small free snacks and coffee available in the lobby, which was a nice touch.
