City Suites-Taipei Nanxi

The hotel was in a great location, close to a number of tourist spots without being in the crazy thick of it. I stayed for a week and as a solo female traveler, felt the area was safe even at night. The room they gave me was incredibly huge, it had a living room zone, a bed that I think was a California king, a full desk with office chair, and the bathroom had a shower and separate full sized bath. Also the place had a walk-in closet. Just so much space for one person. There was also this ingenious control panel right next to the bed, that controlled all of the lights and temperature in the room, so I could control everything without getting up. Why can’t all hotels have this? All the staff were super nice and helpful, and there were plenty of spaces to sit in the lobby. Would totally stay here again.

Had higher floor for my return stay. The room was just as comfortable. Friendly front agents. Cozy feel in lobby. Walking distance the night market (nothing to shout about if you have visited others). 711, Starbucks, local cafes, eateries around. Zhongshan shopping is walkable. distance away. Various bus stops to various tourists spots are close by.

The room and hotel experience far exceeded my expectations! Traveling as black person can impact your treatment even if you have a very professional and friendly disposition like me. I own a technology company that led to living in Beijing. We stayed at higher end hotels in the Sanlitun area. They were small and poorly designed, etc. Somehow I thought Taiwan hotels would be similar. I was wrong. This hotel was on par with a Westin are Intercontinental room. Except my room had a patio with a table umbrella and seating. It felt like it was on the first floor because of the stones and plants. The Superior Double, bed, bathroom, and room were a very large especially for the region. The breakfast was great, well beyond a continental breakfast that you would get in Scandinavia or Europe. The eggs, and Guava juice were the highlights for me but they had a lot to offer. The staff were very professional. The older bell man was great and really set the tone for the pleasantness of the stay. When I come back to Taiwan this is most likely the hotel I will stay. It’s clear the building is old despite the upgraded facade outside which is well done as well as the early 2000’s western interior design. There are imperfections but you simply won’t beat the combination of comfort, space, water pressure, breakfast, professionalism, location, fast WiFi, at the very competitive prices. In general Taiwan hotels have a great value to cost ratio but this was better IMHO. Oh yea, on the coffee table was a free bottle of wine and a gift box with several high-end toiletry brands. 8.8/10

The location is kind of in between 2 busy hubs (SOGO and Xi men ding), so you're not in the heart of the action. Breakfast options were humble and tasty, with an effort to change the menu daily. We noticed that to prevent food wastage, they stop replenishing food items from 9am onwards. Hotel lobby was also very grand and the size of the room was also nice. We stayed in room 808 and loved the walk in wardrobe which was big enough for 2 people's clothes to be hung up. Staff were also courteous and friendly.

Located on Nanjing Rd West, 12 minutes walk from the MRT close to Main Station, a supermarket next door & 7/11 cross the Street. Right near Dihua Street. The lobby a great design. Cosy sitting areas, our corner room on 9th flr was quiet wth interesting views. Bathroom a little old fashioned but super clean wth heated mirror. Bed comfy. Didn’t have breakfast there.
