List of Hotels and Hostels in Taipei, Taiwan

During our several trips to Taiwan, we stayed at hostels, hotels, and at a luxury hotel. When choosing for the location of a hotel in Taipei, I recommend that you choose your accommodation that's near an MRT Station so it will be easy for you to go around. You may choose a hotel or hostel near Taipei Main Station, Ximen Station, or Taipei 101 Station. Here are the hotels and hostels I have personally tried and stayed at during my previous trips to Taipei, Taiwan.

Location: 2 SongShou Road, Taipei City, Northern Taiwan, Taiwan, 11051 (near Taipei 101 MRT Station)

MY REVIEW: Grand Hyatt Taipei is a 5-star rated hotel and is one of the finest hotels in Taipei. Located at Xinyi district, just beside World Trade Center and opposite Taipei 101, it gives every guest easy access to one of the tallest buildings in the world and to the city's many tourist spots and attractions.

We stayed here for 2 nights and we had a relaxing and luxurious stay. Our room is so luxurious and elegant, the hotel staff are genuinely accommodating, warm and friendly, and the food at the restaurants are truly remarkable. Grand Hyatt Taipei is certainly a one-stop destination for quality hotel accommodation in Taipei.

MY REVIEW: SleepBox Hostel is where we stayed for the first 2 nights on our trip in Taipei, Taiwan. We booked a Standard Double Room with one double bed and shared toilet and bath. It's a nice and trendy hotel with a common area where guests stay and meet fellow travelers. Everything were fine, but since the rooms are located in the basement, they don't have windows. But for me, it's not a problem, I'm okay with it. Our room is small, but it is clean and well-organized. Location is also good. Convenience stores, restaurants and MRT station are nearby.
