Taipei hotels

Top tips for finding the perfect Taipei hotel

• If you are looking for hotels in Taipei, make sure that you are close to the MRT metro system so that no matter where you stay, you can reach your destination in no time.
• Hotels such as the Main Inn and Chia Rong Hostel are situated in good proximity to Taipei Main Station and the city’s metro line.
• Cheap accommodation is often found in the buzzing Ximending district, where there are also plenty of good value eateries and nightlife. The Energy Inn is a good option in this area.
• Luxury hotels tend to be found around the trendy Xinyi neighbourhood. Hotels including Grand Hyatt Taipei and W Taipei offer high-end facilities and access to upscale bars and restaurants.
• To be based in the city centre, look for accommodation in the Zhongzheng District, close to Taipei Main Station. Hotels such as the budget Taipei Sunny Hostel and Roaders Hotel are well-placed for this area.
• The closest airport to Taipei is the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, located about 25 miles from the city centre. If you have an early flight or a late arrival, you may like to base yourself at one of the airport hotels close to the airport, including the Novotel Taipei Taoyuan International Airport.
• If you are travelling with children, consider staying in the more laid back Da’an neighbourhood, which is quieter than the central areas but still well-connected by the MRT.
• To unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city, choose a hotel with a rooftop terrace and spectacular view such as The Okura Prestige Taipei.
