Hotels In Taipei

[johnjensongibson]

Hi,

Anyone can advise?Intend to go during September school holiday .
Where to do the hotel booking?
Would like to know which Hotel to choose between Rainbow & TS ?
Which one has the bigger room for 4 peoples to accomodate?
Rainbow is in the middle of Ximengding,good for shopping.Is TS far away from the Ximengding shoppping district? Thanks

[ArsenalGear]

I've stayed in both Rainbow and TS, I feel that the rooms for TS is better and bigger. However, the plus point for Rainbow as you said is the location, it is smack right in the middle of XMD. For TS, you need to walk for around 5min to reach XMD. Both of them have rooms to accomodate 4 people, but I've not booked those rooms before so I'm not sure.

For TS, you can book at http://www.tshotel.com.tw/english/01_introduction.htm
For Rainbow, it is http://www.rainbowhoteltaipei.com.tw/en/intro.php

As Rainbow is quite a small hotel, there might not be available rooms for September. Personally, I don't like to use the online reservation for Rainbow, I would prefer calling them instead.

[TitanSmall]

call them to get instant replies.. :)

[johnjensongibson]

Opt for TS Hotel if possible, I called Cooney (the Coordinator), she was friendly and can speak good english. So far all the hotel reviews give thumbs up for them.

Too bad, they don't have room for me..... =(

Try travel advisor for hotel review. =)

p/s: 1 pt to note, TS hotel room dun have windows, so u won't know day/night.... haha

[ckjoe03]

do check out the reviews at tripadvisor.com

For TW, my personal recommendations if you have budget under 200sgd/nite will be Tango-Nanshi..superb/ultra modern boutique hotel, see link below:

thetango.com.tw

I'm deliberating between East Dragon and Rainbow... Anyone have any idea whether there's free Internet access in the room?

[jimmy_sg]

[DonnaPie8]

pls don't book paradise... it's NOT GOOD although its walking distance to XMD! Rooms very very very small and looks creepy, the hotel staff (this particular guy) gets very angsty although we were polite to him.

Didn't have a chance to book the famous TS in April this year,

Stayed in Rainbow and will be going back for this hotel. Imagine you are staying in the middle of all actions, I enjoyed going back to Rainbow hotel after a tiring day. Most of the time I reached my room later than planned as I was always attracted by the cosplays, street performance, mobile snacks and shops in XMD =:p

Location is superb with a 24 hr convenient shop located doorstairs, a 24hr McDonalds a block away and a subway station within 3 mins walk. Receptionists are warm and friendly.

Not for the fuzzy sorts, the room is small and just for bathing and recharge ourselves for the next day.

And it's also very near to Ximen subway station...our breakfast was covered during my stay there but we dun always eat there...there's a small cafe juz around the corner and serves 1 of the best burger I ever eaten :lick:

And there's no bathtub in the toilet...but there's intenet acess for your laptop and a PC in the lobby for you to surf the internet.

[AndreFLo]

[coldkey]

Some useful links for hotel searching.

ezhotel.com.tw

A few of the hotels seems to be linked to this booking system, can check prices here.

tw.maps.yahoo.com

Can use this map to look for facilities around the hotels. I found a coin laundry near my hotel using this. Just zoom down and click the facility type on the left side. If you are searching by name, remember to switch to traditional chinese input.

kdm.com.tw

Not in XMD but I stayed at this KDM Hotel (NT$1780 Single, no breakfast) for two trips. The side entrance is facing the MRT entrance for Zhong Xiao Xing Sheng. It's close proximity to Wa Wa Comics and Guang Hua Electronics Mart are the two main attractions in the area.

wawabook.com.tw

Breakfast is included if you pay NT$200 extra but I would rather take a short train ride 1 station away to eat at this place Fu Hang Dou Jiang instead. Meal plus ride cost less and more enjoyable.

Hi,

Taipei is the home of a myriad range of hotels. The hotels in Taipei can provide accommodation to all sorts of travelers. Taipei is composed of twelve urban districts and is a special municipality under the direct jurisdiction of the Taiwan Government. Taipei is a center of information flow, and businesses located in the city enjoy the additional advantage of having access to open markets and information. .
