Our stay at the Grand Hotel Taipei was driven by a desire to experience its unique history, and we were pleasantly surprised that the experience felt truly grand rather than dated. From the moment we entered, the magnificent lobby and the live piano performance created a wonderful atmosphere. Our rooms were absolutely neat and clean, and the service throughout was extremely responsive—from the friendly check-in staff to the housekeeping team who quickly fulfilled our requests for water and an ironing board. While the hotel is not in the heart of the city, the 5-minute shuttle to the Red Line MRT made getting around very convenient. My only disappointment was the dining; we tried one of the three restaurants, and unfortunately, the food was unmemorable and didn't quite reach the high standards the hotel aims for. However, the overall hospitality was excellent, and I would certainly stay again. I wish the Duen Mou Foundation all the best in continuing to take this iconic landmark to even greater heights.

“A Charming Historic Hotel”

There’s a free shuttle bus from the nearest station, so getting around was very easy. Although there are no convenience stores nearby, the small shop inside the hotel was sufficient, so it wasn’t an issue. The room was clean, and the shower and toilet worked perfectly.

There’s a free shuttle bus from the nearest station, so getting around was very easy. Although there are no convenience stores nearby, the small shop inside the hotel was sufficient, so it wasn’t an issue. The room was clean, and the shower and toilet worked perfectly. Since it’s a well-known hotel with a long history, I would love to stay here again if I get the chance. Next time, I’d like to visit during the season when the pool is open. 最寄駅からは無料のシャトルバスが出てるので移動は苦にならない 周りにコンビニはないがホテル内に小さな売店があるので特に問題はなかった 部屋は清潔感もありシャワーやトイレも特段問題はなかったです 歴史もある有名ホテルなのでまた機会があれば宿泊したい 次はプールが入れるシーズンに行ってみたい

“Immerse yourself in history!”

Stayed here during the christmas holidays and the hotel was bustling! It's a gorgeous hotel steeped in such rich history, and you feel it as you walk through the lobby and hallways. Rooms are modern. We were in a superior room in the main building with amazing 180degree views of the city. It was magical to watch in the morning and night. Behind the hotel is a trail up Jiantan mountain where you can see the planes Songshan airport and gorgeous sunrise/sunset - lots of stairs, but only takes about 15 min. And my favorite part of the stay has to be the EXTENSIVE chinese breakfast buffet. Soo much better than other 5 star hotels we stayed at while in Taiwan. A few cons: It's not as convenient of a location given that it's up a hill (shuttle or taxi to MRT), and pool/tennis court complex is a 10 min walk/shuttle ride away. We also took the West tunnel tour -- in all honestly, it's probably best for chinese speakers only. We got the audio guide for english, which was pretty lame. Most of the interesting stuff that was shared was by the tour guide who only spoke chinese. Our group returned our headsets after about 15 min (after we walked through the tunnel).

“Bonkers but great fun”

We stayed for five nights over Christmas in a superior side view room looking west over the mountains on the 8th floor of the main building. (Take care what you book because the second building behind is low rise and a long way back). The balcony was amazing although don’t expect to sit out on it. … more

We stayed for five nights over Christmas in a superior side view room looking west over the mountains on the 8th floor of the main building. (Take care what you book because the second building behind is low rise and a long way back). The balcony was amazing although don’t expect to sit out on it. Our room had high quality and comfortable bed and linen, and a large and well equipped bathroom with bath and shower and a line for drying your smalls. Daily bottled water plus oolong tea and coffee. Tv with international channels and a safe. We also bought a day rate internal room with no windows because we arrived at 05.00 from our flight. Small and with hard beds but otherwise just as well equipped. For us this was a good deal after a night flight because it included the enormous buffet breakfast and then we could shower and rest until check in. The lobby is always a hive of activity because people come just to visit the hotel on daily sightseeing tours. It’s a great place to people watch. The steakhouse is good if you’re not a hardcore Chinese food fan, and the lobby cafe also. There’s also a mini market hidden among the shopping area which has snacks, milk and even yogurt if you’re doing your own breakfast. Make good use of the regular free shuttle bus to town and Shilin to get to the night market and MRT for easy access all over the city. Finally, do visit the exhibition of the history of the hotel and take a tour of the tunnels. We did west which has the escape chute. It was hilarious!
