3-Star Hotels in Taiwan, China

I checked in late at night around 11pm without a problem. The room is small and windowless, but this is not unexpected as the online description is accurate. Very convenient location! Easily accessed from airport metro and regular metro. Within walking distance to Ximending, Ningxia night market, Taipei city mall, and Dadaocheng/Dihua street. Luggage storage was conveniently available for free and there is a tonne of people making use of this service! So may need to time your check out accordingly. Lobby was located at the fifth floor, some elevators don’t stop there. The layout is a tad confusing to me (some rooms on 3F and 4F)

Near shilin station, and shilin night market. No has hotel sign board and reception,need find the door number 59. But can check in easy by online. Door excess using password. Still quite convenient. The room wall and window curtains a bit dirty. The toilet clean and nice.

I often travel alone and usually stay in hostels abroad, but this is my first time staying in a backpacker dorm in Taiwan. The location is super convenient, right behind the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi department store (Station Front Branch). Whatever you want to eat or buy, you'll find it nearby—there are tons of restaurants, local eateries, convenience stores, and drugstores. They don't provide toiletries by default, but you can buy or rent them. All the common facilities are exceptionally clean and well-maintained! 👍

I’ve stayed in several affordable hotels here in Taipei, and I understand that you usually get what you pay for. However, I still believe that basic cleanliness and proper maintenance should always be provided to guests regardless of the price range. Sadly, this has been the worst hotel experience I’ve had so far. First of all, the room did not feel clean at all. The bathtub was extremely dirty, with visible stains and molds around it. Even the toilet walls, floors, and sink area looked poorly maintained. There was also a water leak from the toilet ceiling, which made the bathroom feel even more uncomfortable. The fridge still had leftover food from the previous guest, which honestly made me question if the room had been cleaned properly before we arrived. I also requested for the bed to be cleaned, but after staying there, I suddenly developed rashes, which made me worried about the cleanliness of the sheets and pillows. The sheets had stains, maybe blood stains (not sure what it was). The pillow also had an unpleasant smell, as if it had not been washed properly. As someone who values cleanliness, this was very disappointing and uncomfortable. Another issue was the condition of the room itself. Despite having several light bulbs installed, only one light was working, making the entire room feel dark and gloomy. The walls and bathroom areas clearly need maintenance and renovation. On top of that, the soundproofing was very poor. I could hear noises from other rooms very clearly, including conversations and even dripping water sounds throughout the night, making it difficult to rest comfortably. What disappointed me the most was that the photos posted online looked completely different from the actual room. The hotel appeared much cleaner and more maintained in the pictures, which honestly gave us expectations that were far from reality. However, I genuinely want to commend the staff because they were the only bright side of our stay. The receptionist was very kind, polite, and accommodating from the moment we arrived. They were approachable and communicated well in English, which was very helpful for foreign guests like us. Despite the condition of the hotel, the staff still tried their best to assist guests professionally and respectfully. You can tell that they are hardworking people simply doing their job properly. That is also why I feel bad leaving this kind of review. The staff members deserve appreciation because they handle guests with patience and kindness, even though many of the problems seem to come from the hotel’s maintenance and management itself. It honestly feels like the employees are the ones carrying the burden of complaints that should already be addressed by the owner. My brother and I even considered changing hotels, but since we were only staying for 2 nights and 1 day, we decided to just endure it. I truly hope the owner takes guest feedback seriously because the hotel has potential if proper cleanliness, maintenance, and care are given attention. I normally don’t leave negative reviews, but I think future guests deserve an honest experience, and I also hope this review encourages improvements because the staff truly deserve a better-managed workplace and guests deserve a cleaner and more comfortable stay.

This hotel is really great, I love it. I've been staying here for 10 days and I haven't found anything bad about it. It's excellent, I'll definitely come back next time. The staff's service attitude is also very good, and it's very clean and hygienic. The toilet doesn't smell, and the bathroom is also spacious, clean, and trendy. The bathtub is very new with no rust spots.

Overall, this hotel is really good value for the price, especially if you prioritise location and convenience. The room size is decent for what you pay, and the bed and sheets were fairly comfortable. The shower has excellent water pressure, and a bidet is also available. Basic amenities such as shampoo, shower gel, hand soap, hot water kettle, mini fridge and hair dryer are provided. Toothbrushes and toothpaste are not provided, so you’ll need to bring your own. The biggest advantage is definitely the location. The hotel is right above Taipei Main Station, making it extremely convenient for getting around. There are plenty of eateries and convenience stores nearby, and there’s also a large underground mall beneath the hotel/station area, so you have lots of options without needing to go far. The main downsides are that the rooms have no windows, and the soundproofing isn’t the best. You can hear quite a bit of noise from outside the room, so light sleepers may want to take note. That said, considering the price, I think it’s a very good option for a short stay in Taipei. The location and convenience more than make up for the drawbacks, and I would consider staying here again.

This time I brought my wife to Taichung for her birthday, and we stayed at the Norway Forest Cultural Center for the first night. We arrived early to drop off our luggage and immediately experienced the friendly and polite service, which made me feel happy and warm. Although there was a minor issue with the air conditioning in our room when we checked in that evening, the front desk manager came up and helped us switch to a larger and more comfortable room. Their service attitude was also super nice. It's no wonder this hotel has reviews above 9 – it's absolutely deserved. If I have the chance to come again, it will definitely be my first choice! 🥰

This is our second time staying in Stat Beauty Hotel for their Luxury Double Room. This time we stay for 4 nights and the location of the hotel is near the MTR station and the night market of Shillin Night Market. It will about 15 - 20 minutes from the hotel walk to the MTR station or take 20 - 26 minutes from the hotel walk to Shillin Night Market. The room we booked is big enough for us it two persons that stay and the room is nice but the hotel always provide one pillow for one person . If I sleep on the bed with only one pillow then I can see the rooftop and not the TV. I suggest to the hotel to provide two pillows for each person to stay  without our request, so that he can watch the TV easily. The bathroom is big and come with a big bathtub. The water pressure is now t very strong but just good enough for shower.  I would like to make a bit complaint to the old lady for the the housekeeping. She only come to change towels, refill toiletries  and thru rubbish only and never do cleaning and arrange the bedding. So on my third day O have towels request to the front seat to tell her to clean our toilet. Overall we are happy to stay in Star Beauty Hotel and would like to recommend this hotel to other travellers. I will stay again if I come to Taipei in the future.

The rooms are clean. You can use the hairdryer for free. There is also free mineral water and snacks every day. You can fill the water in the lobby too. There is a window, but it's not very big. It's close to Main Station, HSR Airport, and the bus station. You can walk there. There are a lot of food stalls, and the prices are lower than in Ximending.

My stay here last year was great, so I decided to come back for my round-the-island trip this year. When checking in, I asked the front desk about motorcycle parking. The staff member, whose name tag said 'Intern,' told me I could park anywhere on the white lines along the road next to the hotel. I then asked if the parking lot across the street, where I parked last year, was still an option. A man and a woman next to the counter said that was for cars and heavy motorcycles (even though I wasn't riding a heavy motorcycle last year either). I said 'okay' and went to look for white lines on the road next to the hotel (as shown in the photo). Turns out, the road had just been repaved and there were no markings at all. If you expect us to find our own parking, you should at least clarify that the road markings are gone. I'm not a local, so how would I know what markings used to be there? And the full-time staff member next to the intern also just replied, as if it wasn't their problem, 'You can park on the white lines nearby.' Where exactly are these 'nearby white lines'? Anyway, the breakfast was good. If you're on a budget, I highly recommend this place.
