“Nice Little Hotel in Taipei”

This is a boutique hotel in Banqiao district, just 2 MRT stations from Ximen. The room we had was spacious with space for 2 large luggages. The hotel is next to MacDonald and daily breakfast included is MacDonald muffin + drink delivered to your room. This is handy but boring after a few morning. T… more

This is a boutique hotel in Banqiao district, just 2 MRT stations from Ximen. The room we had was spacious with space for 2 large luggages. The hotel is next to MacDonald and daily breakfast included is MacDonald muffin + drink delivered to your room. This is handy but boring after a few morning. The room was clean and free from smoking and hotel staff is courteous and helpful. Free wifi was available but was very slow in our room and break numerous times.

“Wonderful hotel and a great value.”

The other reviewer was spot on: this immaculate hotel is an excellent value. Perhaps the rooms are a bit small, but I've been in smaller rooms in London and Paris and I paid a lot more there than the 50USD a night I paid for this room.

The other reviewer was spot on: this immaculate hotel is an excellent value. Perhaps the rooms are a bit small, but I've been in smaller rooms in London and Paris and I paid a lot more there than the 50USD a night I paid for this room. The bed was very comfortable and was made up with luxury linens. The bathroom had both a shower and a Japanese-style tub. Free bottled water, tea, and cookies were replenished daily. The staff was very friendly and helpful, if shy about speaking English. Granted, this is a suburb not much used to foreign visitors. I was blown away by the fact that the young woman who staffed the desk in the evening, and who I asked to arrange for a taxi in the morning to get me and my daughter to the airport, accompanied us on the ride! She made sure the cab driver got us to the right airline terminal and door and then helped us get our luggage inside. I'm still amazed by her helpfulness. The hotel's location was very convenient to the subway. There were some great-looking and very popular restaurants near-by, but I ate my meals in Taipei City with my daughter and her friends. I highly recommend this hotel! Caveat: The wall between the bathroom and the main part of the room was primarily glass, and a mixture of clear and frosted glass.

“Clean, very decent budget accommodations in Banciao”

Stayed here for one night. This new Banqiao (Panchiao) hotel is in a convenient location, for those who need access to Banqiao as well as Taipei city. The subway (Chiangtzutsui stop) is two short blocks away, and just a few stops in either direction to the Banqiao and Taipei city train/high-speed r… more

Stayed here for one night. This new Banqiao (Panchiao) hotel is in a convenient location, for those who need access to Banqiao as well as Taipei city. The subway (Chiangtzutsui stop) is two short blocks away, and just a few stops in either direction to the Banqiao and Taipei city train/high-speed rail/airport bus stations. Bus stops are also nearby. The subway and some of the buses can be taken straight to Taipei 101. Rooms are a bit small, but clean and offer free wifi and a safe. I was upgraded from a cheaper, windowless room to a bigger room with a window, bringing my room cost to a total of USD50. There is no restaurant, and breakfast consists of a free breakfast from the McDonald's next door delivered to your room. There are many banks around the hotel, including a cash machine in the McDonald's next door. There are also convenience stores and supermarkets two blocks away. Cons: Panchiao isn't famous for its great restaurants, but the subway into Taipei is very close. The staff is friendly, but have limited English skills. The bathrooms have frosted glass walls. I have stayed at the Grand Forward in Banqiao, and if you need to stay in Banqiao, Hotel Color is a better value.

“A Great Deal on a Good Hotel ~ BUT BEWARE”

I've stayed in this hotel on multiple occasions, and my overall impression is that this is a great value: its a small, clean & easy hotel located in the Taipei "satellite city" of Banciao, just a few blocks from the Ximendang MRT station.

I've stayed in this hotel on multiple occasions, and my overall impression is that this is a great value: its a small, clean & easy hotel located in the Taipei "satellite city" of Banciao, just a few blocks from the Ximendang MRT station. Banciao is a nice.. "quiter" area to the east of central Taipai, along the blue MRT line. The hotel is close to a great traditional market and lots of great dining options, and the convenient MRT station makes getting to the rest of Taipai fast and easy. The hotel is usually clean and quiet, and includes room-delivered bfast from the McDonald's next door. As an American, I'd say that last gesture is rather..um.. "cute"? 2 bottles of water provided every day, plus onsite laundry + coffee & tea service, all included. Front desk is very helpful, but like most smaller, non-western hotels in Taiwan, they don't speak a lick of English, so don't even bother. THAT BEING SAID, I debated giving this hotel a higher score, but my last stay was a BIG disappointment, because at least 2 rooms on my floor were occupied by prostitutes, and so it was in-and-out with clients ALL NIGHT LONG, and of course, the sounds of their "activities" were easily heard through the walls and down the halls. I've got nothing against sex-workers making a living, but this was NOT the sort of place I expected to have to deal with this sort of thing. This went on for 3 nights until I checked out to find another place to stay. Very disappointed that they allowed this sort of thing to go on. This is a small hotel, so there's no excuse for this. I'd love to go back next time I'm in Taiwan to find it nice & quiet as it was before.. not sure if I want to risk it.. You've been warned.
