Quite a few in Xinyi IIRC, with bathtub have which are biggeer rooms, and of course that is if you have no budget constraints.
But doubt there are any balcony rooms for hotels, also TPE hotels are sized and cost similar to SG, small and expensive.

Oh is it, perhaps I haven't been to enough hotels since I prefer tried and tested ones. :ROFLMAO:
But if you refer to hotels like XMD or TMS then most likely no have. Like Agoda they do have the option for you to select if you looking for balcony under the room amenities.

Personally I will always use ximending as the point. Taipei main station is good because directly connected to airport rail, but my favorite stay is XMD. As I am sole traveler, convenience is my priority.

I like to find suggestion for Taipei and Taichung stays. As some traveler, ease of public transport is important, need to near walking distance to train station. Pushing luggage sweating is tiring...
My usual stay is always in XMD, but this time thinking to have a refreshing change.

Yes. I stayed in their luxury twin room end last year...

This is my review posted on Agoda... Let me know if u wanna know other stuff... Toilet paper cannot flush in toilet bowl...


“Great Stay at Sky Gate Hotel”
1st time staying in Sky Gate Hotel. Relatively new hotel which is above the iconic Uniqlo Ximending. Very centralised location in XMD. Was given a room on the 13th floor which need to be access using the relatively busy cargo lift as it's shared by other tenants on different level of the building. You can climb the staircase if you do not like to wait for cargo lift. It become a daily exercise for me. The beds are comfortable and clean. Good daily housekeeping by the staff upon request by hanging door tags on the door. The room is abit cramp for me to walk from bed to toilet as I booked a family room with 2 queen beds. My room has a window that facing the corridor. Need to use my bag to press against the blind to prevent people from peeping into the room. Hope property owner can maybe paste a 1 way film on the window so better improve the privacy. I didn't get the room that has a superb view facing Taipei 101 but I am fine with it. Great free flow of snacks and sweets at the level 12 lobby. Free flow soft drinks too. Overall nice hotel to stay in with friendly and helpful staff... You can shop for shoes at level 5 ABC Mart, Level 6 for Hong Kong cuisine, Level 7 Ramen and Mala hotpot .

Above Uniqlo sounds kind of fun actually. How much is it roughly per night? I am going in August, and my standard stay at Puri.

Last time my fav hotel in XMD is Via Hotel XMD until they close down due to Covid period...

Now I always try to book City Inn Plus... So far it's a pleasant hotel with convenient location...

XMD still a good location cos I love to eat supper at night... Think it's easier for me to find snacks...

Previously I pay sgd$200 per night for a 2 queen size bed room... I just hate the cargo lift...

To be frank, I won't stay there again... Not a hotel in my priority list... I go Taiwan quite often just to shop and snack... 😂
