Taipei Hotels with Rooftop Pools

"As a 5-star hotel, I don't think they should be promoting self check-in kiosks. A 5-star hotel should provide the expected service, not tell me to use a self check-in machine – I might as well book a 3-star hotel then. And if the self check-in machine wasn't bad enough, it even had problems. Check-in was supposed to start at 3 PM, but when I arrived at 4 PM, it said my room wasn't ready yet? Then I had to go back to the front desk to sort it out. If the machines are so unreliable, why not just let guests check in at the front desk? Furthermore, before checking in, I specifically requested a high floor, and the hotel even replied that for my room type, the highest floor available was the 29th, which shows they saw my note. Yet, upon check-in, I was assigned the lowest available floor, the 12th. I had to request a change again to get moved to the 18th floor – it's just speechless. And to top it off, I can overlook the lack of toothbrushes and toothpaste, but shouldn't a room at least come with two bottles of mineral water as standard? I know there's a water dispenser on every floor, but I'm a tourist. Do you expect me to carry a bottle around everywhere? There's a limit to how 'eco-friendly' one can be."

"The service was pretty good; I didn't touch my luggage after getting out of the car. However, I didn't have many needs or encounter much service to begin with. There were a lot of Japanese staff members... both times I checked in and out, they were Japanese women, and I struggled to understand their Chinese. Maybe they should stick to speaking Japanese... The room was a bit old but perfectly fine, standard for a five-star hotel. Two large brass keys offered the ultimate vintage experience. They're still practicing 'eco-friendliness' by shifting costs to guests, providing a sanitary bag which was genuinely inconvenient since I was on my period. The bathtub wasn't great; at 1.72m, I just barely fit in, it wasn't spacious at all, and it only had one faucet, no adjustment. No slippers or disposables, but I loved the scent of the three bath products. The welcome fruit was a bit of a joke; the welcome pastries, however, surprised me at first, coming in such a large wooden box. But then I thought, how is this different from being handed a random pile of wedding candies? I couldn't eat it all anyway. It was annoying that there wasn't a three-pin socket by the bed to charge my phone's dual Type-C ports; only the desk had two, one 110V and one 220V. Directly opposite the window was just a regular vintage residential building, but there was a distant view of Taipei 101, which was a pleasant surprise. The public areas exuded old money charm... The underground Regent Galleria is a high-end mall... I'd never seen one inside a hotel before, quite an experience. There were also many dessert shops. For me, zero appeal, zero shopping capability. The design of the restaurant or banquet hall near the lobby was a bit poor, with many steps and no accessibility facilities, still very vintage. There was a piano and cello performance in the pool at the bottom of the building in the evening. P12-15 The good reviews for this place really come down to nostalgia and food, I guess. I hadn't booked breakfast, but after seeing so many positive reviews, I quickly added it. It was $968 per person. Open from 6:30 AM to 10:00 AM, with the last seating at 9:30 AM. I went at 9 AM, and it was mostly full, so it's clearly very popular. The variety was indeed rich, with many ********* specialties, and the taste was decent, though not amazing. Apart from the service and breakfast being standard, my personal experience felt more like 4.5 stars."

"First time trying out this hotel. Location is fantastic- right opposite Jian Tan Mrt station (red line), 10 mins walking to Shilin night market, Carrefour, Poya. Room is clean, toilet is rather huge with bathtub and shower area, with a view. Not too sure whether the window is tinted from the outside.. but there are blinds. I do love the toilet seat.. has seat warmer, bidet. Mini bar is complimentary 😀"

"We had a wonderful stay at the Grand Hotel. If possible, I highly recommend booking a window-side room in the main building. The view is amazing—you can watch planes taking off and landing at Songshan Airport while also enjoying a beautiful view of Taipei 101. It was a unique and memorable experience, especially during the evening. The hotel itself is beautiful, and the combination of the historic architecture and the stunning city view made our stay even more enjoyable."

"I needed to stay near the Taipei Arena, so I booked this hotel to try it out. The room was quite spacious, and there were plenty of convenient dining options nearby. This was a business trip, so I only stayed one night before checking out."

"We really enjoyed our stay in the area - it was super convenient for shopping of all sorts, restaurants and also MRT stations. We couldn’t have stayed at a better location. Our room was lovely and very spacious. Even though there was only one window, we didn’t feel cramped at all. We were pleasantly surprised some beverages in the mini bar were complimentary, a great touch! We will definitely rebook this place next time we are in Taipei"

"The hotel is located near Banqiao Station, which is quite convenient if you're traveling by High-Speed Rail or public transport. Overall, it's pretty good – the facilities are quite new and the soundproofing in the rooms is excellent. The only downside is that the breakfast ingredients were a bit subpar; the porridge wasn't hot, the noodles had a strong, unpleasant lard smell, and the fruit and tomatoes clearly weren't fresh."

"The hotel boasts an excellent location, right above Jiantan MRT station, and just over 350 meters from Shilin Night Market, making transportation and dining incredibly convenient. It's also not far from the Grand Hotel Taipei, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, and the National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine. The hotel itself is well-equipped, featuring electric curtains, an automatic bidet toilet, refrigerator, washing machine, microwave, and a coffee machine. Breakfast is a mix of à la carte and buffet; the à la carte menu offers 5 main course options, while the small buffet includes various breads, vegetables, fruits, and milk, all of which are quite palatable. However, the front desk staff's service attitude was just average, not as good as what I experienced at the Victoria Hotel. Because of its proximity to the MRT station, rooms facing the mountain (and thus the MRT line) can hear the train noise as the MRT runs above ground in this section. I also highly recommend a ********* restaurant nearby called 'Goose Meat Chuan,' which has a 4.6-star rating on Dazhong Dianping and is only 300 meters from the hotel. Their goose breast, crab roe tofu pot, and taro vermicelli are absolutely delicious! Highly recommended! [Strong]"

"I've stayed here multiple times now, and it's definitely the best value for money among the hotels nearby. When I first checked into a room on the 6th floor, there was a slight odor, but the hotel promptly upgraded me to a room on the 10th floor. Food delivery is also super convenient; after the delivery arrives at the lobby, a robot brings it right to your room."

"A huge thank you to Ms. Eriko and the rest of the team for their amazing hospitality. Their bright smiles made every day better. The hotel was very clean and provided a peaceful atmosphere to recharge. The great location was the icing on the cake!"
