Experience of the stay
We are a family of three with a 3-year-old and traveling with a stroller. Please take this as a reference!
★ The room's amenities are well-equipped!
There is a small refrigerator and an electric kettle, and two bottles of water are provided. There were packs of tea and coffee as well.
The hairdryer is a Panasonic nano-ion hairdryer! The warm water toilet seat is also made by Panasonic!
The coin laundry allows for both washing and drying for free.
Detergent is self-service and costs 10 TWD to buy in a bottle.
There was also a children's playground and gym!
★ Located just below a convenience store
We arrived at Taoyuan around 22:00 by a budget airline, but check-in was until 0:00, so we hurried to the hotel by taxi.
It was helpful that there was a 7-Eleven right next to the hotel for late-night snacks! It was a cute collaboration with Sanrio too!
★ Family-friendly staff who speak Japanese
The reception staff appeared to be in their 20s and 30s, were kind to children and could speak Japanese. Everyone was friendly. They even gifted our child a balloon art during check-in and check-out.
The hotel also has a simple ramp at the entrance, making it easy to move around with a stroller.
★ Playground for children
There is a children's playground on the 8th floor that can be used until 22:00. My daughter was happy building houses with the big soft blocks and she got along well with the local boys.
★ Excellent location
It's not far to take out food from the night market or food stalls in Ximen and eat it in the hotel without it getting cold.
The hotel lobby lounge is open from 11:00 to 24:00, and there is a free coffee maker and daily-changing tea, and you can eat as many snacks of 4 varieties as you like. You can’t take food out, but you can bring in your own food. You can have tea in the hotel lobby for a break during sightseeing, and it was very comfortable not to have to worry about leaving my tired husband in the hotel while I went out!
★ Bath facilities
The bath amenities include body soap and 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner. I used my own conditioner, but the provided ones were fragrant and left a good feel. There were no issues with water pressure, which is a plus!
★ Hygiene
We stayed for 3 nights, and during the cleaning hours every morning, I could smell the disinfectant smell of hypochlorous acid in the hallway, so it gave me a good impression that they were cleaning and sanitizing properly. The room was clean without any bugs or dust.
★ Other services
During this trip, I used a subscription site for hotels for 2 nights and the official reservation for one night with Lucky Land voucher, and they handled everything smoothly. The official reservation requires prepayment, but they allowed me to use a 5000 TWD Lucky Land voucher and refunded the difference in the prepaid card charges. It was my husband’s birthday month, so I also received a birthday gift from the official reservation! They gave us two bottles of high-quality oolong tea craft beer (exclusive to Regent Group and priced at NTD 260 each), which made my husband happy too! It was a delicious beer with a sophisticated aroma!♡
I also wanted a bed guard for my 3-year-old daughter, so I inquired about the reservation via the hotel's official site email, using Google Translate to send a message in English and Japanese, and they responded smoothly, either the same day or by the next day, so I felt reassured making the reservation!
★ Food
The buffet had flavors loved by Japanese people and was the most delicious breakfast I had at the hotels I stayed at in Taiwan!
The breakfast had classic porridge and rice, self-grilled bread, cereals, and various items that children could eat.
All the side dishes including beef and salmon were mild in flavor and delicious. The variety of side dishes changed daily so that it didn’t get boring even with consecutive stays. I was especially happy that there was honeycomb (comb honey) every morning! Topping yogurt with blueberries, mandarins, walnuts, and honey became a luxurious dessert and I was very satisfied!
★ About the bed
Due to room availability, I stayed in two types of rooms: a superior twin and a room with one bed. With three people, it was cramped with just one bed, so for families with small children, I think it’s better to have a room with two or more beds! I will upload the photos of the room with one bed in a separate review!
Experiences during the trip
Sightseeing mainly in Ximen! Taking commemorative photos on the rainbow road and with the red brick buildings often seen in guidebooks!
We went to the famous Tian Tian Li Food Court and Ah Zong Mian Xian for food. The taste is quite mild and really delicious! I think it's a flavor that's easy for Japanese people to enjoy. On the way to Eslite Life from the hotel, there are many famous restaurants clustered together, making it very convenient to explore. I purchased limited-edition snacks from MUJI Taiwan at Eslite Life! The fluffy donuts we found along the way were delicious too.
The MRT Ximen is just a short walk away, so access to Beimen, Dongmen, and the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall was very good. Dongmen had many trendy accessory shops, which were fun to explore. Surrounded by lots of cute Taiwanese souvenirs at Lai Hao, which we aimed for, I felt very happy! The Taiwanese glass I purchased for myself has become my favorite glass that I use every day. When I was tired, I enjoyed excellent oolong tea and delicious tea soft serve at Jin Pin Tea House, which I discovered along the way.
By the way, this sightseeing in Taipei was a 3-night, 4-day trip arriving late at night on a budget airline, so we effectively had only 3 days for sightseeing! I was able to relax and eat a lot of delicious food as well. We were sightseeing with a stroller for our 3-year-old. I hope this helps.
After this, to head to Kaohsiung, it was just one station from Ximen to Taipei Main Station, making access to various places really good. I would like to use this hotel again next time! I can recommend it to everyone I know!Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
