Orange Hotel Ximen Hanzhong Reviews

Staffs were really friendly and nice. They were attentive to our needs and cleaned the room daily. There is bidet in the toilet. There is free dryer and washing machine to use but you have to purchase the laundry detergent at the vending machine on ground floor. The wifi is strong and there is usb-c ports for charging on both sides of the bed. Thus, you don’t really need the travel adapter. We manage to store our luggage at the hotel for free on our last day in Taipei despite checking out at 12pm on the day itself. We will definitely stay in this hotel again when we are back to Taipei.

The hotel’s location is fantastic, just 3 minutes from Ximending and the MRT, making it ideal for both food and shopping lovers. There are Watsons and Cosmed nearby, perfect for beauty products. The room is small but clean and tidy. The water pressure in the shower was excellent, which was a nice touch. The reception staff were kind and welcoming, and we had no trouble communicating in English. One downside is that there are no amenities or water provided in the room. However, you can easily buy these from the vending machine in the lobby or at the 7/11 just across the road. The 7/11 is great for midnight snacks, with meals ranging from 89 to 99 NTD, and a tea egg only costs 10 NTD. A nice little perk is the free crackers and nuts available in a basket at the reception counter. If you're lucky, you might even find some pineapple or mango cakes. In general, it's a great hotel for anyone visiting Taipei, especially if you love shopping and want a convenient option.

Our last two nights with them were crazy! It is the summer season, with average temperatures of 36 degrees Celsius, and the room's central air conditioning was automatically shut off after midnight, around 2 a.m. I called up the reception and was told that we had to restart the AC power. Last morning, before checking out. The AC automatically adjusted to 24 degrees Celsius and slowly went up to 26.5 degrees Celsius!!! Hellooooo... Do you guys know how stuffy and warm it was to be in the room with these crazy claimed to be centralised temperature settings?? Overrated hotel. Overrated services and rooms on social media platforms. During checkout, there was a lady at the reception; she was the only staff member there, always with a smile and a humble attitude.👍 Thumbs up to her sincerity and patience!! She was on shift on July 23, 2024, during the checkout period (afternoon). (Young, petite-sized lady.)

The hotel is nice and clean, the staff is friendly and helpful. The staff at the reception speak english, so that is nice. The only thing is if you book breakfast, you get breakfast vouchers to go have breakfast at one of 3 coffee places in the vicinity. There is no restaurant/breakfast hall in the hotel itself, and the closest coffee place to have breakfast in is about a 5 -7 mins walk away. The hotel is only a 3 - 5 mins walk to Ximen MRT Station exit 1 and 6 and Ximending walking district is right by the Ximen MRT Station exit 6. Ximen Station is also the pick up location for multiple day trips to Shifen and Jiufen, so it is convenient.

The good: Location is pretty convenient. From Ximen Station, take Exit 1 and walk like 3-5 mins. Along the way, there are eateries and convenient stores. Excellent water pressure in the shower with constant hot water (This is important in the cold season). Toilet has a bidet seat cover, amazing! Free ice cream and drinks at the lobby all day. There are many plug points in the room and the points have USB A and USB C direct connection. WiFi speed is also very decent. TV you can connect to YouTube. The okay: Breakfast included in the booking but not at the hotel. You can go to Mos Burger (One Outlet) or Louisa Coffee (3 Outlets) but all were quite some walk away. If you're the kind where you need to eat then go back to the room and rest before heading out, this can be challenging. The not so good: The pictures make the room size seems alright but it's actually really tiny. Okay comfort for 1 but super squeeze for 2. You will not be able to open your luggage.
