City Suites - Main Station

“Good hotel, perfect location for first timers to Taipei”

We stayed here for a few nights during our first trip to Taiwan. Location: the hotel is close to Taipei main station so its easy to get to when you just arrived after a long flight and easy for acces to the rest of the city.

We stayed here for a few nights during our first trip to Taiwan. Location: the hotel is close to Taipei main station so its easy to get to when you just arrived after a long flight and easy for acces to the rest of the city. Room: we had a standard room which was good. We did not need more as we were out quite a lot. Service: it is a bit weird because this was our first time at a hotel with self check-in service. There were not a lot of employees at the desk, which is ok for self service. Overall very happy of this hotel, mostly because of location/convenience.

“Good location and safe. Easy access to many places.”

Pros: Good location. Easy access to lots of places. Staffs are nice. Cons: Noisy at night (traffic), pillows are too thin and soft. Room is a bit small. Overall: Price is about right but I would expect simple breakfast included. Note. It’s NOT near MRT-Taipei Min Station but MRT-北門站.

City Suites is very responsive through their FB chat regarding requests and questions that you have regarding the hotel and pre-arrival. The location of the hotel is in between Taipei Main Station and Beimen Station. If you have large luggages, do use the entrance/exit nearer to TaoYuan MRT upon arriving at Taipei Main Station. There are escalators and lifts to assist for that entrance/exit. Otherwise you can walk through the underground mall (Taipei City Mall) to Exit Y21, hotel is 3 mins walk away from Y21. Do note that Exit Y21 is a few long flight of stairs. The hotel is 2 bus stops away from Ximending, 10-15mins walk away from NingXia night market and you can walk to many places from the underground Taipei City Mall. A lot of food around the area too! Upon arrival at the hotel, we had to do self check-in with staff on the side to assist us readily. We were given a room on the 3rd floor and with a bathtub. Room looked and felt clean, it's bright and space was decent without being too cramp. Hotel gives bottled water and they have water dispensers for guests to refill. I'm grateful that the TV have many channels to watch. Bed and pillow is pretty comfortable, and there were many hooks on the wall for us to hang up our jacket and clothes. The wall hooks were greart as we could air our clothes and jackets everyday when we're not wearing them! We had issues with the bathroom. Water pressure and temperature was alright, but the shower doors for the bathtub was constantly allowing water to leak onto the floor whenever we showered. Everytime after a shower, the bathroom floor will have a puddle just below the door. It is very dangerous and slippery, and we have to place the bath mat there to soak up the water making the bath mat very soggy. Hopefully the hotel can rectify this issue in the bathroom. Would also prefer this hotel if I could flush toilet paper down the toilet. I wasn't comfortable with the idea of throwing soiled paper into a waste bin due to hygiene (but had to get used to it for many places in Taiwan). WiFi was slow at times but at least I didn't not encounter the WiFi disconnecting from my devices. Staff was helpful when we needed to weigh out luggages and when we needed to discard food trash out from our room. As the hotel is a tall building, but City Suites is only from L1 to L3, do note that the sound insulation for this hotel isn't that good. We could hear cars and trucks passing by at night. Thankfully, Aircon for the room isn't noisy. If you're sensitive to noise, remember to bring earplugs. I don't mind staying at this hotel again if I'm back in Taipei.
