Linkou District hotels

Pros: Big room with nice breakfast.

Cons: Light system in the room no button, you have to press turn off light on remote TV. On the other hand, key room use a key not a card to enter. I think it's strange.

Pros: Big room and location. Breakfast is awesome.

Cons: This is a Motel. It does not have a front counter like traditional hotel has.

Cons: pretty tired, need some renovartion. killed one cockroach

Pros: Checkin was quick, and they allowed early access to our room.

Cons: Check in area very exposed. Rooms were fine but a little tired.

Pros: Staff were helpful, changed my room and fixed internet issues. Pretty nice room to stay.

Cons: Laundry service takes 3 working days which is too long for me.

Pros: Spacious rooms and very helpful staff

Cons: The lighting system (you needed to switch on TV to steer the lights)

Pros: Price

Cons: Restaurant to small for size of hotel, breakfast not good for European people on bar or restaurant at night

Pros: Everything... You can consume everything in fridge and mini bar without charges. And the toileteries.... Above 5 stars options..

Cons: Heard it is love making hotel..

Pros: Room space very big. Bed is big enough for 2 people to sleep independently.

Pros: Amazing room. room is Super HUGE. Amazing facilities. Very clean. Bed is HUGE and very comfy. Best hotel ever

Pros: It was huge, people were nice, everything was clean

Cons: room leaking water,room got crokroaches

Pros: Great value, quiet, friendly, very large and fully equipped rooms with a large bath tub, love hotel style, a huge and comfortable bed, and anything else one can imagine. N.B: Rooms are not identical. Our room was the most economic one and still wonderful. Breakfast is mostly Chinese, medium quality. Considering the price it is more than fair and a valuable bonus. Tasty coffee - unlimited, and breakfast lasts until 10:30, which is very late for Taiwanese hotels. Bus 937 reaches the hotel directly from the MRT Station A9 (high speed trains do not stop there, but at A8, where the 937 bus also passes). A taxi from A9 to the hotel is only about USD 3-4. A taxi is the best choice if new in the area and having luggage. - If uncertain, get the hotel address printed out in enlarged Mandarin. Most people are very helpful. Bus 937 also reaches Taipei Center, Yuanshan Station, Red Line (R14). Total cost only USD 1. Have local change ready for the driver or get an MRT card in advance, purchased at the airport or at any MRT station. Careful, once bus 937 reaches the highway, there are no more stops! Get the right direction, especially late in the evening.

Cons: Limited English spoken! However, the staff tries hard, and not much communication is needed. Ignore any automatic message in Mandarin, telling you to check out from 12:00 - 21:00, if booked via booking.com.

Pros: Comfortable place to stay.

Pros: location

Cons: Layout of hotel floor and lift access - basically the building is designed as a square enclosing a central courtyard but lift access to the ground floor and lobby exit is only on one side. Long walk time to your room if your room is on the opposite side of the ground access lift lobby.

Pros: excellent location next to MTR exit.

Cons: the room lighting was abit too dim.

Pros: The room was clean and quite spacious. The shower facilities are excellent.

Cons: Breakfast will be quite boring after a few days, as i only stay for 2 nights i can't be sure. the food served is the same for both days. Laundry service would be better if it can be collected directly from the room.

Pros: The staffs are very helpful and caring. Very clean and tidy.

Pros: The hotel building looks very elegant, the reception area is also very nice. The bathroom seemed to have been remodeled and is fairly new.

Cons: Everything was perfect, just one thing can improve is the free shuttle bus from Jiantan (shiling night market) last one at 22h40 only.

Pros: There's a bus to take you to and from the airport right to the hotel for approximately $3. It's convenient to get to the National Palace Museum, a fabulous museum of Chinese art. The restaurant is OK, but we enjoyed the club restaurant which is on the campus.

Cons: This is a hotel catering to tour groups. We had a small room with nice bath, but it was on the inside so no windows. We used the concierge who went out of her way to help us but the front desk was less helpful.

Pros: Small room and design ia amazing , cheap and good quality

Cons: nothing

Pros: clean

Cons: no bathtub

Pros: Just nice modern great big tv was really an experience. Great overhead shower.

Pros: The rooms are simple and clean. Staff was nice without being overly nice. My "deluxe" room was rather small. No room to do sit ups. Bed was soft, almost too soft. Shower worked well. The provided soaps were heavily perfumed- some people like that, I didn't. Huge TV, if you're into that sort of thing.

Cons: The entire lobby smelled strongly of some sort of chemical off-gassing, as if they had recently put some varnish on the metal. Also didn't like how the curtain partially covers the sink and you have to hold the curtain with one hand to keep it from getting wet. And, in typical East Asian style, the walls are super thin and you can hear all your neighbor's phone notifications.

Pros: Really cool industrial interior design. Very unique and great location.

Cons: More storage space in the rooms would be nice

Pros: Cleanliness and comfy bed.

Cons: Room soundproof not good enough.

Pros: Clean

Cons: App showed checkout was 12 midday only to find out the booking was only for 6 hours

Pros: The staff was very helpful.

Pros: Location is walking distance to the main station and is very accessible.

Cons: Breakfast is okay but there was a very limited choice of food.

Pros: Good breakfast

Pros: It was exceptional good value considering it was Taipei. Room was decorated nicely and kept clean by the maids. The staff were very helpful with advice and directions. Location was perfect, walking distance to a number of places. I would not hesitate to book again.

Cons: The air conditioning was noisy. My bathroom was not very private, overlooking another hotel window.

Cons: The dryer doesn’t work properly

Pros: Excellent location and many elevators.

Cons: The interior of elevators is a little old. The color of wall in the breakfast area is too busy and scary.

Pros: It's close to the main station, affordable and super nice. Staffs could speak english making it easy for non-mandarin speakers to be accommodated well. Room is super nice too.

Pros: Nice view from pool/gym area

Cons: Beds are extremely hard!

Pros: Airport shuttle was on time and quick. We were able to leave our luggage at hotel, take subway into and back from Taipei, pickup our luggage and shuttle back to the airport. Breakfast Buffet was delicious too.

Pros: Great bed. Good location. Excellent pool / gym facility. The room was OK, clean enough, but nothing special. I would stay here again. Can't beat the convenience, in spite of some of the issues mentioned below.

Cons: One worker at "Box" restaurant "Mr. Jo" was a lifeless robot who could never smile. His colleagues were fantastic and made up for it. The bar is terrible. Audio / acoustics are bad, too much echo, and tiny low-fidelity speakers. Dated decor. Our corridor on floor 7 smelled like a rat. The "magic" window in the bathroom (presumably supposed to turn opaque with a switch" was broken. way to get to the airport. No bathrobe in room, had to ask for it (is this a "green" decision?).

Pros: Hotel is very nice and staff are very friendly and helpful. The pool was great and the spa area very relaxing. Not a lot to do around the hotel but you can get the train to the airport and there are lots of shops there. It is a good hotel close to the airport.

Cons: The disappointing thing we found is the airport shuttle, it only operates at certain times eg. Our flight arrived early in the morning and the train was closed and the shuttle wasn't available either. Our flight out was in the afternoon and again the shuttle was not operating so we had to get a taxi. Not a major thing but you would think the shuttle would operate especially when the train isn't and in the afternoon??

Pros: Location was very near to airport and free shuttle bus service was provided

Cons: Nil

Pros: They had an excellent breakfast/brunch which was$22 American dollars. A little pricey but food was very good

Cons: There was a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel but only two shuttles, one at 1030am and another around 430pm, from hotel to airport which we were not told about so we missed the morning shuttle. We were told we would have to take the subway, which we needed to pay for. It was easy to use and a short trip but we were a little disappointed that we were not told about the shuttle.

Pros: staff was awesome, friendly, efficient

Cons: the bed could have been more comfortable. it was hard and difficult to get comfortable

Pros: Its a standard Novotel airport hotel, clean, smart, comfortable. Very practical for travelers.

Cons: The bathroom needs a proper shower! It is a hand-hold only affair, definitely not up to Novotel standards.

Pros: very good place to stay near Airport, specially when it is for an early departure. hotel shuttle bus is quick & efficient

Cons: Food

Pros: Nice warm indoor swimming pool with spa, suana and steam room. Nice Chinese restaurants with reasonable price. Easy free airport shuttle start from 4.30am which suite us perfect for 6.20am flight. Room was clean with good and cool temperatures. 24hr good size gym with yoga class but no time to join. Will definitely come again for longer period as MRT station also under the buulding.

Pros: Helpful staff, room was ready early.

Pros: Good location, nice staff.....

Cons: Very small rooms, no windows.

Pros: Location and price

Cons: toilet because the air ventilation is not good so that the towel is easy to get the smell

Pros: The location is just ideal especially for those who just enter Taipei and need a good rest after a long flight and a mere 30 minutes train ride. Abundance of eateries and shopping malls nearby. Even during Covid-19 outbreak period, the security and assurance of hygiene is superb. Way to go!

Pros: 1. Great service rendered by the staff at check in and check out. 2. Beautiful and trendy space 3. Loved that the entire room could be controlled via the ipad - it made things very convenient 4. Location was good, within walking distance to both ximending and Taipei Main station

Cons: 1. Bed was very underwhelming - my partner is about 10kg heavier than I am and it was extremely obvious from the way the mattress sunk in and my sleep was compromised. I don't think this is supposed to happen for good quality mattresses. 2. Breakfast selection was pretty limited - about 5 or 6 hot items. Would not have opted for breakfast inclusion if we had known. 3. Wet and dry areas of the toilet weren't segregated.

Pros: the room view, the bar members, the drink and everything in hotel. delightful and wonderful experience.

Cons: nothing

Pros: good location and cozy furniture. nice view

Cons: a bit noise from heavy traffic.

Cons: None

Pros: I stayed here for the 2nd time and I liked it even more than last year. Location is great, rooms and interior design as well, but what makes the difference are the people working there. During the actual crisis we had some problems with our flights and our next hotel in Kaohsiung. The lovely people at CitizenM were extremely helpful and cheered us up every day. We got some free drinks at the bar and had a wonderful time in Taipei. 11 of 10 stars for the ambassadors!

Pros: I loved the rooms! Very advanced technological room & bath features. Really cool restaurant and hang out area.

Cons: Could Do With A Spa And Sauna ....And Swimming Pool Warmer ...

Pros: great location, great service

Pros: Great location and the staff was extremely nice and helpful.

Cons: I was on the 8th floor and there was a stale odor in the hallway. The electric toilet didn't work and the shower door leaked water on the bathroom floor. As for their breakfast buffet, while the service was great, the breakfast was disappointingly mediocre at best. They could have easily improved the quality, for example, if you're serving bagels and lockes, please have cream cheese available... and of course some sliced cucumber, tomatoes, and capers will be nice too.

Pros: Good Hotel in a good location in Taipei. Easy to get around for food or coffee.

Cons: All good

Pros: perfect location in downtown Taipei, a lot of good restaurants around here

Cons: facility is old

Pros: great location for proximity to great food, night life and shopping. outstandingly friendly and hospitable staff and management. good value for a high end hotel.

Pros: This is a great hotel. It is located about 10 minutes walk from Daan MRT station. The breakfast is awesome, lots of selections ranging from Chinese, Japanese to Western dishes. I will definitely stay here again the next time I am in Taipei.

Cons: There is really no much to comment on.

Pros: The cleaning staff was coughing and sneezing in our room for the last 2 days when cleaning our room. We informed the front desk, they imediately took action to check on the clesaning staff, sanitize our room twice and offerred to change our room for us. They assured us the cleaning staff is fine too. The hotel constantly santized the area and checked the tempature of all visitors and staff. They also provided sanitizer for all visitors. We felt safe and assured.

Cons: There are flies in the toilet that bite.

Pros: Great location, Large room with twin bed,

Pros: Location was the only thing I liked.

Cons: Looked totally different from the pictures on the website. The air conditoning was terrible. The room was cool but humid and sticky during the entire stay. Horrible.

Pros: connected to main train station and malls, street food outside hotel, comfortable bed

Cons: Cold room, heater not working well

Cons: Bathroom smelled with mold

Pros: Great location

Cons: Spending a night there when they did a general electricity supply maintenance: I barely slept that day. Having my body temperature checked each and every time I went in, meaning six or seven times a day, for four consecutive days

Pros: Good location to all the MAT station. A lot of restaurants are around.

Cons: Equipment is old. No phone on the desk, but next to the bed. After shower, water is all over the floor - door of the bath tub cannot close. Not enough chairs for people to seat after check out - we ended up to pay $5 per person to have an exclusive room, but was so noisy due to the construction work was on going. They distributed newspaper to certain rooms, not to everyone. No enough light in the room One of the double bed is so close to the wall. Very difficult for the 2nd guest to get off the bed.

Pros: Location is convenient.

Cons: Went out in the morning, returned back to room at 5pm. Once opened room door was shocked that room was still not cleaned up. Called the Reception they said will check with housekeeping but could not provide reason why. A few minutes later some one knock on the door. Housekeeping Supervisor and staff standing outside asking to clean room. We told them to come back at 5.30pm as we need to take a rest. Asked what happened why our room not cleaned. The reply was staff is new and work slower and probably missed out our room. Is this reason acceptable? Anyway, we returned later in the night and the room is done plus a plate of complimentary fresh fruits. The room small window is behind the bed. The top of curtain do not completed covered the window. Hence early morning sunlight came through and quite disturbing.

Pros: It's just a little far from the main station exit but its walkable distance. Nearby the 7-11 and more shops around.

Pros: Staff are very approachable.. the room are very clean special the toilet..

Cons: The freebies.. I am looking forward for a coffee, not green tea

Pros: They are very careful dealing with the COVID19 outbreak. Encourage mask use, provide hand sanitizer, checking the guests temperature daily.

Cons: If you stay for more than a few days, the breakfast is good, but boring. Same food every day.

Cons: The blanket had wierd circle stains which I informed the front desk after check-in. They assured me the blankets were clean but its still wierd to see in a hotel I assumed they would change it right away but they said they would inform the cleaning staff so I trusted their input. Then the next day, I came back and my room was made but it was still the same blanket. The rest of the room was comfortable and easy to use though.

Pros: The staff was very helpful in providing all kinds of feasible solutions! Thanks a lot to the lady who helped me change to a more comfy room.

Cons: Nothing at all

Pros: Location is superb as it is close to Taipei main station and Ximending. 7 eleven is super closeby too.

Cons: I couldn't get any signal on my phone inside the room and WIFI connection is not stable. The toilet seems to be clogged again even after the housekeeping tried to fix.

Pros: The family room is with new interior and clean. The breakfast is good but not many western variety. The laundry room has five washers and dryers. There are five elevators are very easy for customers to get their floors. The breakfast and dining area is large.

Cons: The wall color of breakfast and dining area is terrible.

Pros: The tidyness of the room specially the toilet

Cons: The tv channel and the freebies (wish there was a coffee next time)

Pros: It was really value for money. Room was nice and clean. Spacious with a big bathroom. Convenient to walk to ximending or to the train stations.

Pros: Nice decor, the room is on the small side, great sauna & spa. No rowing machine in the gym but nice spread of equipment. Provides free yoga, pilates & other classes but not in very convenient times. Breakfast is outrageously expensive, I've had much better ones with a lot lower prices. Not many eateries in the vicinity, just world trade center. For good food, have to take metro to a couple stops away. It's great value because I'm booking with promotion (3rd night free) now due to coronavirus that halted most travels. Otherwise the regular price is not good for value as there are many fabulous new local brand hotels in town.

Cons: The receipts, it creates problems for business travelers as one of the nights are shown as $0 and they can't amend it.

Pros: 위치. location

Cons: coffee pot and hair dryer's functions are bad.

Pros: Staff is very friendly and proactively asking what they can help. Location is great being next to key shopping area and 2 metro lines. Lots of restaurants and a movie theater nearby also. We found some dust on the desk and night stand. When we told the front desk, they send someone to clean right away.

Pros: Excellent Food Outlets inside the hotel Good location, covered bridge access to Taipei 101 and other attractions slight walk to night market but good exercise for the street food Excellent service and really helpful staff

Pros: The room had a window view to the Taipei 101 fireworks as requested. It was a memorable stay.

Cons: Going down from the upper floors to the ground floor is a serious hassle on NYE. It’s a buzz kill.

Pros: The entertainment room was good for family.

Cons: Hot Spring area didn't allow slippers but the stone ground was hard to walk on and it was cold. Other places in Taiwan allowed slippers, and they had way less distance from the changing room to the hot spring area.

Pros: - Nice concept of a hotel within a forest resort - Children's room had a lot of features to keep the little one happy - Ample parking - Easy to locate

Cons: - Forest resort is not exclusive and open to public. Hence, a lot of visitors makes the place very congested. - Have to pay extra to use hot spring facilities. - Breakfast location is a long walk from the hotel. - Room was dusty and lacks any view or fresh air, if you opt for the children's room. - All facilities (example games room) are open to the public and hence, is very busy with day trip visitors. - Only two restaurants to choose from for meals. - Overall, poor value for money.

Pros: the location is awesome! went to the hiking trail two times great view from our room

Cons: crowded at the spa

Pros: Insider a Forrest a jingle so you can walk or 30 minuts....or 60 minuts...or more and enjoy nature...gigant tree....bridge....niceeeee experience Not secund is hotspring (Manu swimmjng pools with water at 37 or 40 or 45 degress with termall water (japanese style) and Sauna and turkish bath .... I this after look a busy center taipei past 2 days in this hotel is great

Cons: Is not so new hotel.....but please read that i liked!!!

Pros: Great location, close to almost anything I want to. Very comfortable bed, room is a little small for the rate we paid. Overall, I’ll stay again for the convenience!

Cons: Lighting is confusing, needed to ask for help!

Pros: Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Good food.

Cons: Facilities - a swimming pool and a spa would be great additions

Pros: great location, close to MRT and HSR train ,great location, close to MRT and HSR tranin

Cons: AC did not cool properly, could not get room below 72 f / /22.5 C, even leaving it on all day. big disappointment for me, when it is as hot and Humid as Taipei is.

Pros: Customer service were good. All staffs are polite and helpful.

Cons: Pillows were too soft for my personal likings. In general, the lightings in the room were too dark. TV screen resolution were quite bad, remote control not really working.

Pros: Amazing location and ambiance. They had a huge screen and camera system that recorded your temperature as you entered. Sanitizer stations everywhere and even had my temperature checked again at check-in. The views from my room were really cool. Especially from the huge window in the tub. Everything was spotless and beyond what I expected. The staff was kind and made my stay very enjoyable. I can’t wait to return.

Pros: This is a large boutique hotel, so you either love it or hate it. I loved it. It does have a dark look, but the quality of the interior is terrific. The detail in the room, everything from the desk to the venting of the air-conditioning is very well done.

Cons: If you like to walk around, it's a little far from major attractions. The hotel was kind enough to arrange a cab for me anytime I needed it.

Pros: We will come back and recommend to all my friends

Pros: The room was spacious and the bathroom was absolutely nice! I loved the design of the room and we had a comfortable sleep. The hotel is located right in the centre, connected to Y underground path so it was so easy for us to explore the city from the hotel. All the staff who responded my emails before arrival were polite and professional.

Cons: The lobby and the breakfast area are way too dark. We couldn’t see the breakfast on our own plate at the table. Also it is decorated way too much it didn’t make us feel relaxed. Too many mirrors. The staff at the breakfast reception didn’t seem to know what they are doing.

Pros: Staff service from the front desk, dinning, cleaning and customer service all great, nice staff, thumbs up My room with a balcony, make it brighter and flesh air in the room. Filled up all the stationary, mini bar, bathroom supplies, coffee and tea bags, clean up my place twice a day, print out my boarding passes and small gift at the check out time. Good breakfast, nice lunch and dinner. The best part is the dessert sections, match the French standard. I am lucky travel to France for the past 15 years, dessert is the part me and wife enjoy a lot (beside shopping $$). So far, dessert is the best I ever had in Taipei. Location is also the reason why I picked this hotel again, next to the main train station and subway stations, you can go anywhere by using public transit systems by bus, subway and trains. The shopping mall service a lot of tourist request, even have an foreign exchange center there, rate is better than the airport plus it work till the end of the shopping mall hour. Across the street will be local Taiwanese food, all the thing famous in Taiwan like 95% food choices are there, price is good deal.

Cons: The interior decoration is a little bit dark, also the bathroom layout is hard for elderly person to step in the tall bath tub plus is kind of open concept (may be romantic for someone), not my personal comfort zone. As a whole, the whole hotel design is on the dark side. My personal preference is bright, too bad could not do much about it.

Pros: The location is superb. The hotel staffs are friendly, good space in the room and most importantly the room is sound proof which is excellent. The restaurants are superb.

Pros: The location is great as it is just opposite the Taipei Main Train & Bus Stations. Next to the Hotel there is one shopping mall where you can find alot of things you can get. Excellent place.

Cons: The room is too dark and the toilets are very transparent.
