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 However, the hotel has some downsides, including outdated rooms and decor, unpleasant odors, and inconsistent housekeeping.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.

Second time staying in Yomi Hotel in Taipei. Walking distance to Shuanglian mrt and both sides of the roads are decked w lots of eateries. Chili 胡椒饼 was really spicy and good, cheese flavour good too. Many bbt stores along the way too. Yomi is in a really good location. I didn’t even know they had a basement (you have to take the stairs down where the washroom is and some amenities too, you can borrow Nintendo Switch from them, there’s free jelly to consume).
We were excited to know we got the same exact room from our previous visit a year ago. Just some furniture was moved. One unlucky thing was the previous guest must have smoked in the room or is a smoker as we smelt cigarette smoke in there whenever we entered our room. Participated in their green programme where water/snacks/sachet coffee and tea and single use items/change of towels will not be done within our stay. Was given 2 masks in return. We were ok w it as we had own own toothbrush and toothpaste, fine w using the same towel for 2 nights. If we needed water we can request from the front office. Body lotion, hand sanitiser, shower gel, shampoo and hair conditioners were in dispensers so that’s provided as well. Condom and lube was even provided in sachets in the room haha.
Very Good

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.

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.

This was my first trip to Taipei, and the Hotel Resonance was a great location, centrally located, easy access to the metro or pickup by Uber.
The accommodations are comfortable and all the light and window covering controls easy to manage; some hotels you need an engineering degree to operate.
I did have some issues with managing the television controls from the cellphone app but I really didn’t spend much time in the room.
When I left, a small item was left behind but housekeeping found it and it is being sent to me. Housekeeping, unsung heroes of harried travelers.

KKalim’s world2024.06.27
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.
Zhongxiao Dunhua Commercial Area | 3.69km from Otherwise Library
Hyatt Hotel. Located in the trendy and vibrant area of Taipei and just three-minute walk from the Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT station.

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.

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.

Outstanding
EEricaDear Doubletree by Hilton Taipei,
I would like to offer my compliments to your dedicated team for our very enjoyable stay in your hotel from 3-7 June 2024.
We stayed in rooms 1203 and 1205 and the reservation was made under Ms Erica Tan.
I had stayed in some 5 star hotels such as Shang Ri La Singapore, Westin Singapore, Ritz Carlton Singapore, Kempinski Xiamen to name a few but my stay in Doubletree by Hilton Taipei was one of the most comfortable and pleasant.
The check in by the warm and friendly reception staff was efficient and smooth.
When my daughter accidentally dropped one of the delicious welcome Hilton cookies on the floor, the reception staff quickly replaced it with a warm smile.
When my daughter teared after knowing that there isn’t a swimming pool in the premise, your reception staff, Tina, immediately walked up to us with a map and suggested that we can go to a nearby swimming pool facilities.
Tina also gave us some excellent food suggestions. We had a very satisfying and affordable meal at the Michelin recommended Ji Jia Zhuan ( 鸡家庄), thanks to her recommendation :)
Whenever we return to the hotel from a day of sightseeing, the reception team on duty never failed to greet us in a warm and friendly manner. We felt genuinely welcomed:)
The modern Japandi style rooms and bathrooms are kept in an excellent condition and feel brand new. We especially like how bright, airy and spacious the rooms are.
Kudos to the housekeepers ( Ms Cai Xiu Hui 蔡秀慧阿姨) on level 12 who kept our rooms 1203 and 1205 so clean and comfortable. They always chat amicably with us and confirmed with us if we need any housekeeping service.
The TV entertainment system with its 47 channels ( including TLC, Discovery) , Netflix, YouTube and IQiYi really impressed us.
The semi buffet style daily breakfast sets
( Chinese, Japanese and Western) are healthy and delish and we really looked forward to breakfast every morning.
We hope that Chinese baos (包子)and dim sum pastry such as you tiao ( 油条、蛋饼)can also be offered in future when we next pay a visit to your hotel :)
We would also like to thank your reception staff and housekeepers who helped my mom who stayed in room 1205 on 6 June when the toilet encountered some flushing issues.
My mom had approached the reception staff at around 4 pm on 6 June and the very helpful male reception staff accompanied her to her room and helped remediate the problem along with the housekeeper. She was very impressed by how efficient and friendly your staff were.
All in all, your team has done a great job in our stay. Their service attitude are genuine and warm :) My daughter enjoyed her stay so
much that she kept remarking she would like to extend our stay to 2 more weeks:)
We hope you will pass on the compliments to your team and the staff we named, as a gesture of our appreciation.
YYeungPros,
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.
MMiko BayuajiIt's a great hotel with great facility and great location. It has great and instaworthy design.n
Well, when it comes to value to money, this hotel is a let down.
The price is overrated compare to the added value of the room and service you can get.
Unless you really have high budget for hotel stay so that you can afford their suites room in high floor, the room (including its view) is just a so so (compare to its price)
The most let down is their breakfast service in Yen. It consistently gave me an unfair table placement during my stay. Fyi, I am a non chinese asian solo traveller. I always come to the breakfast place quite early before 7 AM so that there are so many empty table. The restaurant officer always escort me to sit in small table with almost no view. Everytime i asked why i can't sit in the more better better place, they will answer that the tables are for more than 2 person. Again, i arrived very early in the morning so that almost every tables are empty. First, i tried to be positive, that maybe this restaurant would be very full soon and the officer would consistently place a single person guest like me in the smaller uninteresting position table. I was very dissapointed when they just escorted single or 2 person westerners to the tables with the best view with the capacity for 4 people or even sofa pavillion for 6. They were stayed there alone until their finish their breakfast. So dissapointed with this unfair treatment. Its front desk performance during my check out on june 4th 2023. It's almost 7 and only 1 officer standby. It's a very long waiting time (since i wait there since 06.35 AM). I also cant use the express check out because the express check out box has information that i can only do the express check out if I chose it during the check in (which nobody informed me).
So my insight from this trip is:
1. Prepare a high budget so that you can afford their suites. You will experience the real W experience with that kind of room
2. Their breakfast restaurants service not really a best place for solo asian non chinese traveller. It has a great food and good view but yeah not the best service based on my experience
GGuest UserRoom and bed is comfortable
Location is good
Breakfast is good spread
Service staff mostly is good as well
Overall satisfying stay
Would love to stay again
CClarice_NgIt is the first time we are staying at CityInn Hotel Taipei Station Branch II and it is conveniently located nearby the Taipei Main Station and Bus Station. On the first day when check in, we receive warm and genuine greetings from the service staff stationed at the reception counter. My friends and I were impressed by the excellent service provided by the staff (led by Lilian and her team mates Nancy and Aria) who provided as a insightful introduction to the premises and amenities available in the hotel.
They helped to look after our luggage before the check in timing at 3pm and recommended us to some of the popular food spots around the vicinity.
Afterwhich, we collected the room cards from them timely at check in counter without any delay.
The room was sparkling clean and room amenities were all avaliable for us. There were also a self service pantry area where you can choose your drinks (coffee or tea and water dispenser) and light snacks such as biscuits and bowl noodles (after 10pm) were provided free of charge. Kitchen utensils as well as Freezer, Microwave and Oven were also made available for in house guest to use 24/7. We were also delighted to know that there is a on-site laundry room where we can wash our laundry which is especially user friendly and helpful as we were on a long trip with soiled clothings. They even provided both the washing machines and dryers as well as the detergent powder.
It was so convenient and homely for our 3 days 2 nights at the hotel.
Special shout out to Debby (night shift staff) who advised us on the aircon issue we had on first night on how to adjust the right temperature and also Aria assisting us with getting the engineering team to fix the air con on the next morning.
Debby thank you for also doing the night shift and maintaining the cleanliness of the pantry in the morning.
Lastly, we will like to thank the service team for their excellent service and great hospitality. We are deeply touched by the genuine service and surprise little gift for our friend's birthday. (Thank you Lilian and Kenny and team)
Keep up the great work and stay passionate in what you do.
GGuest UserStaff is excellent. Friendly and most helpful, from the reception to cleaning staff. Location is mist convenient, walking distance to Beimen and Taipei Main stations. Direct bus to Jiufen and National Palace Museum outside of Beimen Station. Thought the hotel writeup said no toothbrush, but the room has. The only minus is that I could hear traffic noise and it did keep awake. I didn't hear neighbours, though.
RRod SoLocation is good though not very near MRT station. There is complimentary fitness which hotel collaborated with a fitness center company, music is too loud which made the experience not good. Stayed here due to an exhibit in Nangang Exhibition Center.
LLondonEdThe 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.
LLai We have stay in Star Beauty hotel in Shillin District for 5 nights. We took MRT from aTaoyuan Airport to Taipei Station and have to change MTR Red Line to Jiantan Station and take 10 minutes walk to Star Beauty Hotel. The hotel is far from the City Center Siah Mun Ting.
We stay in Luxury Room and room size is big, bed and pillows are comfortable, air-cond is cooling, water pressure for shower is good, room wi-fi sometime working and sometime no connection. It will take 20 minutes walk to Shillin Night Market.
The hotel is near to jiantan Station and we are easily to take MTR and Buses to move around in Taipei. We will stay again if we go to Taipei in the near future.
