Taipei hotels in Xinyi District

Pros: Nothing much

Cons: some rooms have this funny smell, which I highlighted to the reception. No night room service unless you request for it which is really weird for a 5 star hotel. Strict on checking out time so no late check out is allowed.

Pros: The rooms had high ceilings and were very spacious. Everything seemed well thought out. The decor may look simple but it felt very homely and comforting.

Pros: Very good breakfast with both Asian and Western choices. Staff went out of their way to provide me with sparkling water. Very comfortable beds. super quiet rooms. Pleasant design.

Pros: Location is in an upscale part of Taipei. Very trendy and busy. Hotel is top notch and offers a nice second floor restaurant. From US perspective, great value for 5 star hotel. Staff friendly and very helpful.

Pros: Very comfortable and friendly environment. Staff is exceptionally helpful and courteous.

Cons: Nothing in particular.

Pros: Location. Staffs

Cons: Breakfast. Price

Pros: The window blinds really makes the room dark. The mattress is super comfortable. The room looks onto a quiet little parks and art space. Overall the result is a great nights sleep!

Cons: There is no plug beside the bed - where am I going to charge my iPhone, iPad, etc?

Pros: Very attentive staff. Special mention to Yves who made daily suggestions for our trip and even typed up a proposed itinerary for our next city.

Pros: extra fluffy so comfort

Cons: wish there will be portable power bank for travellers

Pros: The location is great - very convenient and close to the major attractions.

Cons: Breakfast was a bit disappointing - did not taste good and not good value for money. Congee was quite watery, white toast was very dry, scrambled eggs rubbery. I have stayed at other W hotels before and felt like the level of service received at W Taipei was not comparable to my previous experience at other W hotels, where I felt like a valued guest the minute I stepped into the hotel (personalised experience and great attention to detail which W Taipei seem to be lacking). W Taipei is still good, just that it felt quite "standard" and fell short of my high expectations.

Cons: There is no indoor swimming pool with constant temperature.

Pros: location

Pros: Lovely rooms. Modern, hip atmosphere

Cons: Concierge was an idiot who sent me off to the wrong place for dinner.

Pros: Bed is comfortable, TV with subwoofer sound system is amazing!

Cons: Lift transit takes a bit extra time but it’s not a critical weakness.

Pros: The brightness of the room. The excellent location. The quality toiletries

Cons: No complaints. If anything, perhaps change breakfast menu alternate days so that long stay guests wouldn’t be bored.

Pros: Awesome view from the room.

Cons: The lounge was always very full...

Pros: Best location. Good staff service.

Cons: A little worry at the entrance to the hotel, the taxis and cars drive to the front to pick up passengers right behind us going into the hotel. Parking is mostly full.

Pros: The incredible breakfast, clean room and bathroom, friendly and efficient staff

Cons: Nothing - it was perfect

Pros: Location and modern design.

Cons: Price.

Pros: Location

Cons: Wi fi very poor coverage

Cons: Wifi is pretty bad, even though the wifi is connected, but internet speed and respond time is quite slow, particularly at night time.

Pros: There's a bar near the hotel, and I couldn't sleep cuz the noise. After calling the reception, they showed me the new room and changed for me immediately!! :)

Pros: Nearby everything

Cons: None

Pros: Everyday the hotel fills up the drinks and snacks

Pros: Good value conveniently located hotel with friendly and helpful staff.

Pros: I had an amazing stay in this hotel. I booked a suite room and had a big jacuzzi and private sauna inside the room. Yes! A private sauna inside the room beside the jacuzzi! It is a perfect place to relax in Taipei. It’s a quick 15-minute walk to Taipei 101 and the shopping area and there are also lots of places to eat nearby. It is also just a 2-minute walk from the nearest subway station so no problem getting around Taipei via subway. The breakfast selection was ok. They have a gym which could be useful especially if you can’t resist all the delicious food in Taiwan. :)

Cons: A little more warmth from the reception staff can go a long way. :)

Pros: It’s a short walk to 101 and shopping area. Has a microwave and ice machine outside the room. Great Breakfast menu differs daily.

Cons: The room temperature could be cooler.

Pros: Clean room

Cons: Some rooms were advertised as not having a window. I chose a room opposite of this, checked with the staff and they also confirmed my room would have a window. In the end, I was still stuck with a room that did not have a window. And management saying that because I booked the room online, was unable to change rooms without a heavy penalty.

Pros: Room size was great. Got a free upgrade to a 50sq meters room. Location is good, I think the best cost benefit in the region.

Cons: Cleanness was ok. Could be better. Gym was very basic.

Pros: Location, room size, price

Cons: Some days cleaning not done well, they also need to look into batteries of electronics or appliances every now and then. During my stay, the microwave got busted, the safe and scale batteries were dead.l and TV in bathroom did not shut off. Although they were attended to when we reported it.

Pros: The room was nicely laid out, plenty of room for two people , the bathroom and shower & whirlpool bath very nice. That there are no windows was no problem at all.

Pros: Price was good compared to other hotels that close to 101, but still not worth it in my opinion. Staff were very nice. Self laundry.

Cons: Thin walls, so thin you can hear the conversations of neighbors. And whenever any doorbell around you rings, it sounds like your own. The breakfast was also horrible, and although they have their own bar, it closes very early most nights.

Pros: Perfect location with the 101 right on its door step. Very clean and modern, good size rooms for a city centre hotel. Very friendly staff.

Pros: The hotel is right across the street from Taipei 101 with metro station right in front of it; a traveller like me with a 5-year-old kid would appreciate the convenience it provides!

Cons: I booked a room with my credit card (to secure my space) and the confirmation letter said the fee will be paid at the hotel upon my arrival, so when I checked in, I told them I'll pay cash for my stay; thus, I thought they wouldn't charge the fee on my credit card when I checked out and told them again that I'd pay cash for my stay; after I got home from my trip in Taipei, I checked my credit card account and saw a pending fee for the hotel stay; I called Sparkle hotel immediately and then I was told I'll have to wait for up to one month (since I'm using a foreign credit card) to wait for the bank to process the refund.... if I had known or was told that they have already charged the fee on the card when I was going to check out, then I wouldn't have had decided to pay with cash then and thus can avoid going through the time-consuming process of getting my money back later. I wish they'd inform the customers in advance if SPARKLE hotel has already charged the fee on the card upon check-in. The hotel is great in all ways, and I really enjoy my stay there with my kid. I guess I'll just have to ask the front desk about the payment upon my check-in in the future more carefully. I'll definitely choose to stay in this hotel again in the future!

Pros: Clean, excellent location, and not too small

Cons: Hot water a little hard to control

Pros: Room key opens sliding door to excellent restaurant next door. Excellent access to 101 & MRT. Many may find the slowest lift ever which plays tunes annoying, but I find it quaint and comical.

Pros: Location location location

Cons: No windows. Basement property

Pros: Great locations

Pros: Location next to red line was amazing

Cons: We were given a room and the power blew 5 minutes later (only to that room), they moved us to another room. Two of the four days they said we would get boxed breakfast (which we paid for) and then they didn’t have it and we missed the window to actually get a sit down breakfast. They refunded us the money, but it was a hassle. The last night the air conditioning went out in the hotel...when we woke up it was 87 degrees in our room.

Pros: Great location!
