Hotels near Sanxia Old Street, New Taipei City

After coming back from Taiwan, I suddenly realized I hadn’t posted any photos or written a review about the adorable wooden cabin our family stayed in at Jiufen. Everyone in my family loved this place so much that I had to jot everything down now that I finally have some free time. Most people I know usually stay in Taipei longer and just make a day trip to Jiufen without spending the night. As for me—I’ve lived in Hong Kong for quite a while, so compared to Hong Kong, Taipei didn’t leave much of an impression on me in terms of sights or food. The only thing that truly made me want to visit Taiwan was Jiufen — a sparkling little gem between the mountains and the sea 🏮🌿🌊 Jiufen feels like a dreamy fairytale village with its winding narrow alleys, steep stone stairways, and the warm glow of red lanterns everywhere. Walking around felt like stepping into another world, almost like a scene from a manga — especially for anyone who’s watched Spirited Away. ⸻ ⭐🛖 Review of the wooden cabin called Twilight Forest in Jiufen Just a 5-minute walk from the Old town, this wooden cabin brings together the warm glow of wood and the peaceful feeling of retreating into nature. It has a unique A-frame design, and at night, when the lights turn on, the whole place becomes incredibly cozy — the golden light shining through the windows and the plants around it create a “hideaway from the world” kind of vibe. Inside, the space is open, airy, and tastefully decorated in a rustic style. There’s a small terrace with a swing chair hanging straight from the ceiling — sitting there at night, listening to insects and the wind rustling through the leaves, feels genuinely healing 🙃. 🛁🌿 Highlight: The glass-walled bathroom in the garden This is the standout feature of the cabin. The bathtub is large and comfortable, placed right next to a 180° glass wall looking directly into a lush green garden. Natural daylight pours in, making your daytime bath feel like an outdoor spa surrounded by plants. (There’s also a roller blind if you need privacy) Jiufen is a tiny village perched on a mountain, and it doesn’t have many hotels that offer spacious, comfortable accommodations. That’s why I was so happy to find this wooden cabin. Our family had the most wonderful two-night stay here. If I ever return to Taipei, I would definitely book this place again ❤️

It was a nice, cosy and comfortable room at the basement. From the room, there's a balcony that we can have drinks and snacks and view the mountain scenery. Hosts were kind and friendly. Breakfast was good. As the place needs a 9mins walk up from the drop off point (big bus cannot enter the small alley), they helped us bring up the lugguages using their scooter. So cool! The walk up was nice and cooling. We stayed 2 nights. Will do so again next time :)

The hotel is abt 10 to 12 mins walk from the Banqiao mrt station. There was a message frm the hotel informing me that there was some construction going on till the end of august but i didnt hear any sound of construction with my stay there. I was able to unwind and relax on my stay. The bed is very comfy and room very clean. I love the peppermint shampoo. My stay comes with breakfast, food was ok , i dont usually eat rice in the morning but when i tried their truffle mushroom rice with white sauce , i got stuck i went back for a second serving. Over all my stay was great.

This was my second stay at this hotel, and I chose it again because of its excellent amenities and thoughtful design. The room is beautifully decorated in calming green tones, and the layout is ideal for two or three guests. I especially appreciated the separate wet and dry toilet areas, as well as the divided bathroom and shower-very convenient for sharing. Guests can also enjoy complimentary movies, and the bed and pillows were exceptionally comfortable. I had a great night's sleep and would gladly return.

Nice hotel with quiet environment, big public onsen and also with onsen facilities inside the hotel room. Every hotel room with very spacious living and kitchen area. Quite relax to stay here. Walking distance to LRT if need to travel out.

Staffs are friendly and patient. The location is great, which is right next to Jiufen old street (only about 1 minute away)👍

The hotel has a smart check-in system; if you have any questions, there's a window nearby where you can find someone to ask. Although breakfast wasn't included, I was very happy with my stay 👍 The environment was very clean!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is perfect — just a short walk to the Sanchong subway station and very close to the Airport MRT, which made everything super convenient. There’s also a beautiful big park nearby, perfect for morning walks or just relaxing in nature. The room was impressively spacious and felt very comfortable, like a home away from home. Everything was clean and well-maintained. Overall, a fantastic place to stay with both comfort and convenience. Highly recommended!

The hotel is very conveniently located- near bus stops and a short walk away from the MRT Sanchong Station. The hotel staff are accommodating and very helpful. The building is dated but well-maintained. If I go back to Taiwan, will probably stay in this hotel again. PIt has become home in the week that I stayed there.

The reception staff was very friendly. I didn't have dinner there. The equipment was a bit old. Breakfast was available the next day, but it was simple. There was nothing special to order. I had thick slices, boiled eggs, and tomatoes that day. The air was pretty good.
