Hotels Near Kishu An Forest of Literature in Taipei

Great location on the busy junction in Ximending. MRT station in front of the gate. Everything functional like all Japanese hotels. One demerit is that the hotel has no driveway. A bit of inconvenience if you are loading and unloading your luggages from a vehicle. You can only stop for a few momentd on the curb. In front of a bus stop. Also inconvenient for your friends to pick you up. No where to park temporarily, except the paid parking of the hotel. Another point is that the prepaid hotel breakfast cost more for the same meal at the Japanese coffee shop.

The Fullerton gets a bad wrap on a lot of these reviews. It's both good and bad. I'm a frequent business traveller to Taiwan and have stayed in probably 30 different hotels so I speak with some experience. The Fullerton has a lovely downstairs area with free coffee - proper coffee from a proper machine which is even better than the coffee at breakfast. This is great. As a business traveller, it also gives me a nice relaxing place to work, and I don't need to walk around to find a coffee shop / bring coffee back. Staff are also very polite. The hotel, like many in Taipei is outdated and a bit old - but most here are like that sadly from my experience. My room was a bit dark and smelled a bit musty - but was generally very clean. The window glass had some crap between the layers though and I'd prefer a window I can open even if just a little. Bathroom was very clean as was the bed - which, let's face it, is the most essential. After travelling south for a night, I came back to Taipei and then booked the Miramar Garden hotel for the same price. This hotel is 10x better for the price range. I have an elite business room on a top floor and free hotel lounge access with free coffee, beer, drinks, snacks, along with other facilities like the pool. For the price range, it is far better value for money. Fullerton isn't terrible though.

We booked the city view room, but honestly, the view was a bit disappointing. Maybe it's because we were only on the 2nd floor. But otherwise everything else was fine and the staff were really helpful. Breakfast was packed with a variety of food, none suited my taste but that's more of a me problem. Definitely recommend going a bit early as it tends to get more crowded later on for breakfast.

Since its inception in 1985, the hotel has not been very active in upgrading the hotel's hardware. In particular, ㅗ hotel facilities in toilets and rooms are concerned about safety issues. The corners are angled and the material is very hard. For this reason, we moved the room three times during the five days of stay. Of course, the hotel quickly changed the room, but there is a problem with the way it handled it. The problem must be observed with the hotel official, and the room was not exchanged until the problem was resolved. One day, the air conditioner did not work due to a problem with the electrical wiring, so the temperature in the room rose, and a problem I discovered around 5 a.m. was only after the technician came to check the problem, replaced the parts, and was prescribed a possibility of reoccurrence. The newly assigned room had a problem with the toilet, which was also asked to check until the next person resolved the problem. The housekeeper should not throw the toilet paper away in the toilet, but in the trash can placed in the bathroom. It is a request that does not fit the hotel rating and I cannot find the phrase to do so anywhere. I am satisfied with the size of the hotel room, the restaurant, and various facilities, but the too old hotel facilities and various problems that appear due to not being properly upgraded for a long time are factors that pull the evaluation of this hotel down.

It's a budget-friendly option with a prime location near Ximending Night Market and Ximen MRT station. It's convenient if you want an easy access to local attractions and public transport. However, the hotel has some downsides, including outdated rooms and decor, unpleasant odors, and inconsistent housekeeping. Additionally, some rooms may lack windows, which can make the space feel a bit claustrophobic. It also doesn't provide breakfast, and some amenities are fairly basic, which could be a drawback for those expecting more comprehensive services. It’s a decent choice for short stays if you prioritize location and affordability over luxury and modern amenities.

Good location right in the middle of Xi Men Ding business district with lots of shops and foods within walking distance. Only a short walk to the MRT station. The breakfast has many selections and delicious.

This is the new brand of Hyatt Hotel group in Taipei. First imoression: similar to Moxy, Citizen M focuses on social and fun with a touch of old fashion-CD Player and old music (nice & used to be popular). Room: good size with a cute wooden box CD player. The room has 2 bottles of 'sustainable glass bottle water', 1 energy powder, capsule coffee, and 2 tea bags. Toiletries were normal standard, and the cute part is eye mask, pillow mist, wooden massage board, ear plugs & and mask. F&B: they have one bar, which was a well-known bar from Taichung. I had a cocktail with a blend of tea. Way too sweet... It's not my ideal.. 5:30-6:30 pm Cocktail time offered free red and white wine, beer, and other soft drinks. I think the brand of white wine and red wine are pretty bad. I only used them for cooking, not drinkable... I honestly think if you gonna offer at least not a common brand of cooking wine that downgrade their chic standard. Breakfast was offered by ground floor restaurant, American style. I didn't choose it due to lack of time. The location is great, about 5 minutes from METRO station. There are only 4 stops from Taipei station. For this price, I think it's higher than other hotels. I would think 2 main reasons: 1st, it's a new one, 2nd good location and brand. But may not be value for money type of Hotel. One funny thing: after comparing with hyatt member price, OTA is cheaper, which is very common. But, I consumed beverages I could not accumulate my spending in my membership points, which I don't see the point.

Convenient location, about 5mins walk to the nearest MRT station Daqiaotou. Also about 5mins walk to Ningxia night market, with other eateries and several beverage shops nearby, so you’ll never be hungry. The room was cozy and clean. Service staff were friendly and helpful. Good find for the price!

Usual 5 star amenities and comfort that one would expect. However some staff at reception here seemed unfriendly , being unhappy to be disturbed from whatever chores they were doing. I also saw a baby cockroach in the bathroom.

Pros, A nice historical hotel with affordable and reasonable price. The baloncy is very big and the city view is nice. Room is clean and big as well. Cons, The only minor thing is you may need to wait for 20-30mins for the free shuttle bus. Shuttle bus is only available til 11pm, or you need to take the taxi to go to Metro station.
