found other hotel also ~6.8k twd
Hedo Kangding, gt window, room bigger too

but in the end cancel papa whale book a new 5* hotel
caesar metro, juz opened last yr Jun
same period 9.6k double bed room
use agoda rewards $20usd and stack wif shopback 6% + credit card 3%(reward pts)
not bad imo

Nice... from my understanding, the price from
shopback link to agoda (cant use 5% promo)
compared to agoda app
specific agoda link to get the 5% promo discount
their prices seems difference ...
Have booked before one nite difference can be about few to 10+ difference per nite

Normally would use app if they have 5% or 10% inside my account
if not would use shopback 6%

at least if use app, would know straight away can get discount
if shopback, not sure must wait how long ...
too many hotel bookings from various sites linked from shopback, very mafan to track also ...

Hi guys, which area's hotel I should be booking in Taipei if I'm on free and easy trip?
Would be good if transportation is convenient there as I'm bringing 2 elderly along, don't want to make it too tiring for them.
First time travelling to Taiwan :/

Anybody stayed at Diary of Taipei Hotel which is just next to Ximen station before?
Funny there is a listing in booking.com for Diary of Taipei - Ximen, but it is further away than this hotel from the station.

How long does the hotel booking on booking.com show up on Shopback ? It has been 4 days, but I can only see the click recorded, no amount.

You can check tripadvisor for reviews, photo and hotel location (map)

I always stay Via Hotel when I go to Taipei as well, location might be hard to find if you are a first-timer but room is really comfy.

I stayed at Ximen Puri Hotel last year, and will definitely recommend for the no fuss no frill stay.

  • No breakfast, only some biscuits and coffee machine at the small lobby
  • Location is right behind 豪大鷄排
  • I was alone with a double bed, its enough for me.

If u want xmd area, if ur travel date is fri to sun ...
normally 3* hotel would need at least $80+ per nite ...
sun to thu, price usually is 40+ onwards ... or about half
4* hotel should be at least 100+ to 125+
room size about 12m2 to 20m2 on average for taipei hotels...

those 3* hotels in xmd are normally smaller 12m2 to 16m2 ...
most wont have their own building ... is shared with other tenants ...
