MGH Mitsui Garden Hotel Taipei Zhongxiao
立地もよく駅近で2路線使えるので、どこに行くにも非常に便利。また、日本人スタッフさんがチェックインをしてくれてすごく安心した。 一方、部屋についてはシャワーのドアもすりガラスにしてくれたら、シャワー中の人がいてもトイレに行けるのに、と思った

ILLUME TAIPEI
Our room had a beautiful view of the road and the tree line. The buffet was delicious with great variety. This hotel is attached to a mall so it can get busy. There were a lot of people there for business and for weddings.

Grand Hyatt Taipei
The hotel is well located and well maintained. Across the street from Taipei 101, short walk from great shopping and excellent restaurants. Short walk from the MRT redline. And the staff was absolutely excellent from start to finish. They really made a difference. I will come back again!

Miramar Garden Taipei
Breakfast had great fresh options (and enough protein for me as I avoid Gluten and eat lowcarb) But really where this hotel excels is service, staff and facilities. Everyone was just amazing. Room was large and so well maintained. I recommend it and would absolutely stay again
