Hotels near Ximending, Taipei

I really appreciated how close the hotel is from the station. Be prepared for Google Maps to list places in Chinese, not English. I liked the room I rented because it had it’s own bathroom. The toilet was a bidet which was great! I liked the rustic style of the hotel. I found a hair and some stains in the sheets, but the room overall felt clean. I really liked the location, too because I could walk to all the places I wanted to see! I recommend staying here. :)

The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from Ximen area. The room size is comfortable, the bed is cozy, and the bathroom is clean and functional. Although the bathroom door is a glass type without a lock, it’s not an issue at all. The only downside is that the Wi-Fi speed is a bit slow. Overall, it’s a pleasant stay and good value for money.

This hotel is very close to the taipei main station, easy access to red line metro line, but the room is quite old the lightning doesn't seems bright enough, bed is normal not very comfortable, but good value of money and big room size

the room and cr are small and the aircon is like automatically set up that we cannot set the right temperature. the location is great prior to your flight the next day. they cleaned and provided water everyday. Overall, just right for the price.

I really enjoyed my stay at Midtown Richardson! The location was absolutely unbeatable just steps from Ximen MRT station and right in the heart of the Ximending shopping and food district, which made exploring Taipei super easy. The rooms were modern and comfortable with all the essentials like free Wi-Fi, a mini-fridge, and a kettle.

After much deliberation for my short trip to Taiwan, choosing a hotel was incredibly difficult. I regretted cancelling my original booking for this place, as Trip.com's insufficient description left me with so much doubt and worry before I even left. My first impression was of an old, dilapidated building exterior, which was a real bummer. But then came the surprise! While I'm not sure if they're in the midst of renovations, the small elevator, contrary to the description, was usable. The kiosk made check-in and check-out super easy in Korean, and all the room amenities were new and clean. Given the building was constructed in 1972, one might think it has fewer rooms and hesitate to book. But having actually stayed there, I realized I shouldn't have been so quick to judge without experiencing it firsthand. Seeing the ongoing interior renovations, starting from the first floor, I imagine it will become even tidier in the future. Of course, if you're spending a lot of money on a 4 or 5-star hotel, that's a different story. But if you're looking for a good value-for-money option, I recommend trying this place without prejudice, just like I did. It was a small but clean and well-organized stay.

Check in takes only 5 minutes and check out much more faster with 10 seconds with a self check out machine that will suck in your room card. Check in gets faster with your reply to the property telling them what type of room you have booked and what time you'll arrive. With booming businesses and too many bookings, the staff might get entangled in mess, so partially you reply is helping them to get grounded and avoid mistakes. The property is clean, neat, nice and next to easy transport and family mart and 7e.

I booked a last-minute one-night stay, checked in around 5:25 PM, and was surprisingly upgraded to a double bunk bed. The size, big enough for me to roll around in, was a pleasant surprise. The front desk staff with glasses and short hair was very friendly; I'm incredibly grateful for the bed she arranged for me. The front desk staff escorts guests to their beds and shows them how to open the door. My hand was injured, making it difficult to exert force, so it took me a while to open the room door. The staff proactively came over to help me. The female overnight front desk staff, also wearing glasses, was kind and friendly. I asked if I could continue staying in the double wide bed if I booked an extra night. She readily agreed, saying it would also mean less cleaning for them. She told me not to rush and to just inform them before checking out in the morning if I decided to extend my stay. And free luggage storage until 11:59 PM on the day of check-out – how great is that? The hostel offers three basic complimentary beverages, which is good, and the large water dispenser is a plus; it's important to stay hydrated when out and about. It's excellent that the bathrooms are not in the room, so you won't hear roommates washing up or blow-drying their hair, which could disturb sleep. The room has a window, and although this means hearing outside noises, I actually prefer it for better air circulation. The bed seems to be of the plank-assembly type. The advantage is that the upper bunk doesn't shake the lower bunk when people move around. However, when someone on the upper bunk places things on the non-mattress part, the sound can be noticeably loud. There are lockers in the room to secure belongings. As for the downsides, the wall by the bed had more dust, but as long as it's not insects and I won't get bitten, I don't mind; I can just wipe the dust myself 😁. I know they have many beds to manage and are busy. I suggest regularly, for example, a few times a week, using a damp cloth with alcohol to clean around the beds. If the dust and dirt are gone, you'll be a 100-point hostel! Although I later found out from the evening front desk staff that the upgrade was due to there being no other beds available, hahaha, I was still very happy about it. So, travelers reading this review, please don't hassle the front desk staff – it's a matter of luck. My travel luck had been terrible for the past few days, so it finally took a turn for the better. Grateful.
