Xinshe Business Hotel Linsen Branch

Location & Access: Great, convenient location. It's very close to the Orange Line at Zhongshan Elementary School metro station and only a 10-15 minute walk from the Red Line. Positioned at the beginning of the street, it sits just a short walk away from busier nightlife areas, but stays quiet enough for a good night's rest. Everything you need - from supermarkets to 7-Elevens - is right in the immediate neighborhood. 🛋️ Rooms & Amenities: Spacious Layout: Stayed in the Business Room, which is quite spacious and includes a small living area with a couch and TV. There's plenty of space to unpack your luggage. Bathroom & Toiletries: Highlights a large bathroom with a Japanese electronic toilet, shower, and separate bathtub. The standout feature is the incredible Verbena-scented shampoo and shower gel - easily the absolute best part of the room! Bed & AC Caveats: The mattress is extremely hard (spring-style); if you prefer a softer bed, request an extra blanket to layer underneath, as mattress toppers aren't available. The AC struggles to reach super-cold temperatures; setting it to 16°C won't make it freezing, but it keeps the room reasonably comfortable. They also Include a tea kettle and a mini-fridge. 🍱 Dining: Breakfast is included with a limited variety of hot dishes, bread, and fruit. It is very traditional Asian-focused and fairly plain in flavor, which wasn't to my personal taste, but might suit others looking for a local breakfast. 🛌🏻 Service: The reception staff speaks limited English, but they are patient, kind, and helpful. ⚖️The Verdict: A clean and spacious option in a practical location. As long as you don't mind a very firm mattress and traditional Asian breakfast, it's a solid, comfortable stay!

Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and would recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Taipei. The room was much more spacious than we expected, and everything was clean and comfortable. The shower had strong water pressure with plenty of hot water, which was perfect after a full day of sightseeing. We especially want to compliment the housekeeping staff—they were always friendly, patient, and did an excellent job cleaning the room every day. The location is one of the biggest advantages. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel, and the MRT station is only about a 5-minute walk away. There are also many local restaurants, convenience stores, and cafés nearby. We even found a delicious local salted chicken stall and went back two or three times during our stay! There is also a small neighborhood night market within walking distance, making it easy to experience local food and daily life. There were only two minor issues. On our first day while waiting to check in, we noticed a small cockroach near the lobby water dispenser. We informed the staff after removing it, but we were not sure whether the dispenser was sanitized afterward. Another time, we asked the front desk for a few extra bottles of water. We completely understand the policy of limiting each room to two complimentary bottles, but the response felt rather impatient and could have been more welcoming. Despite these small issues, the spacious room, convenient location, and excellent housekeeping made our stay enjoyable. Has anyone else tried the salted chicken shop nearby? We'd love to know if there are other hidden food gems around the hotel for our next visit!

A lot of space in the room, they don't provide toothbrushes/paste , about being green. The Aircon is not that cold, so I used my portable fan to make myself comfortable. The toilet is best. Good value for a hotel near the mrt.

Great stay, very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was normal

A very good and comfortable hotel in the city centre very close to metro station. Very convenient with good infrastructure. Also pretty decent breakfasts. Highly recommended.

Staff is friendly and helpful. Room is big with plenty of space. Bathroom is clean and big too. Plenty of food and stores, night market is nearby, plenty of bus station around and MRT station is about 3 blocks away. Definitely worth staying.

Super nice and worth the price
