Evergreen Laurel Hotel Taipei

“Perfect based for a few days in Taipai”

Our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) stayed for 3 nights in a deluxe family room.

Our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) stayed for 3 nights in a deluxe family room. The room was a good size and split basically into two rooms - a living room with sofa/chairs, then a bedroom area with 1 super king and 1 king sized bed, separated with a partition. Large bathroom with walk in shower, dual basins and spa bath (not working). The room was clean and well equipped. Furnishing were a bit dated in design but functional. Carpet had areas of light staining throughout the living area so could do with a replacement. Our room was located on the 12th floor. Bottled water and a couple of cans of soft drink was provided each day. There was no ambient noise, either from surrounding rooms, nor from city traffic. Staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was a buffet - range of offerings was OK but nothing special - certainly enough to set us up for the day. Although breakfast was included in our room rate, when we arrived, the hotel advised us that it only covered 4 of us and there would be an additional charge for our youngest child (aged 8). There was nothing about this noted on the hotel's Booking.com site. We queried this with Booking.com and the hotel quickly reversed this position. The hotel is well located for access to a MTR (5 minute walk), with then easy access to all areas of Taipai. We would certainly stay again.

“Very comfortable hotel”

The hotel is close to a metro station which is a transfer station for two different lines which is very convenient. The room itself was very spacious with places to sit, fridge, desk, safe etc. the lift and hallways are quiet. The bathroom is large and quite well appointed. Staff are nice, friendly… more

The hotel is close to a metro station which is a transfer station for two different lines which is very convenient. The room itself was very spacious with places to sit, fridge, desk, safe etc. the lift and hallways are quiet. The bathroom is large and quite well appointed. Staff are nice, friendly and helpful. Why 4 stars? A couple of things - the bath leaked onto the bathroom floor when filling it - not a lot but enough to be annoying. The shower pressure on hot was so powerful as to almost give a headache. Breakfast was nicely set out with plenty of choice to suit all tastes. There was always plenty of it and the staff in this area were very obliging. It is not situated in a particularly scenic area of Taipei so don’t expect views. On a Sunday evening we found it difficult to get an evening meal in the immediate surrounds but when we returned (for four nights) we had done our research and found many nice places to eat in Taipei, including Michelin starred. Book in advance for restaurants to avoid disappointment. The night markets were also easy to access from the hotel’s position via the metro.

“EVA”

Have stayed many times now. Like a European boutique hotel, probably the only such place in Taipei. As far as negatives almost all of the rooms have basically no view, windows do not open, front desk staff often seems unfriendly, and they removed the nice gym room sometime during the last few years.
