CityInn Hotel Taipei Station Branch III

The staff were friendly, genuinely motivated and helpful beyond expectation. Within 2 days I was known at reception including by staff unknown to me and that greatly facilitates your travel timeline and experience. eg receptionists with hands out when leaving and no need to ask for my deidentified room "key" on return, (free) laundry issues resolved in my absence and coordinating cleaning staff around my unusual hours (I spent daytimes in and nights out with my son after he finished work). It all felt very personal. The location is within 5 minutes walk to Taipei Main Station, Zongshan Station (much easier to use for the metro) and Taipei Bus Station. Family Mart is over the road. Multiple restaurants and coffee shops are close (it's Taipei). Lots of retail stores are close.

Good location. Near to Taipei Main station and bus terminal. You can take bus 1819 from Taoyuan airport to bus terminal and this hotel is only 5 mins walk from the bus terminal. It is 10 mins walk to the Zhongshan Station and shopping malls. Plenty of food options too, there is a good coffee place and good and cheap beef noodles and dumplings just across the road. This hotel has a a pantry which provides free biscuits and has nice expresso coffee machine, also free instant noodles for supper. The washing machine and dryer are free for hotel guests.

toilet seat is warmed (important during winter); the hotel provided free laundromat (self service, washing machine and dryer); free tea and coffee beverages and free instant noodles (after 10 pm every night); and reliable hot water for showers . also assisted with booking of Michelin starred breakfast (soya milk and fried dough sticks known as you tiaos wrapped with omelette (dan bing ) and grilled dough (Shao bing ) ; staff are responsive and makes you feel welcomed; the hotel is walking distance from the HSR train station as well as the air port MRT (which is accessible from nearby Q square mall basement 1 level ); and also walking distance to Ningxia night market

Just a stone throw away from Taipei Main Station. Location is perfect. Room is small but clean. They have a room where you can go and do your laundry for free. They also provide some clip noodles in that room but we didn’t need them. Room is a little small but it has all the facilities. They also provide some snack for you daily which is nice. Toilet is clean and has a bidet.

I am very motivated to write this review after my third stay at this exceptional hotel. I think most people would have gotten a good idea from all the reviews here about the size of the rooms and the facilities provided here, so there is no need to flog the horse about it. For its price, the size of the room and the prime location to many of the happening spots in Taipei is already worth it. I mean, having free laundry and dryer service is a god-send, especially at the end of the year when it is usually rainy season. You would have no worry at all of running out of clean and dry clothes during your stay here. One thing I must mention is the impeccable service the staff at Cityinn Branch III has provided consistently. They are always willing to go the extra mile for us. When I was going out when it was raining out, one of the staff quickly alerted me to take an umbrella beside the entrance. I must particularly mention Sam, whom I am particularly appreciative of, as he has been the one showing a lot of attention to us when we were here in 2018 and 2019. Knowing that we have returned after the end of the Covid pandemic, he took effort to take good care of us. He had volunteered to help me with my laundry, and even folded them after they were done in the dryer. He had written a personal note to welcome us. He has even remembered my wife's birthday and gave her a Birthday card! All these small gestures cannot be found in just any hotel. In 2018, I wanted a recommendation for a supper spot nearby the hotel and I asked Sam. Within hesitation, he rattled off his favourite restaurant, what dishes we must try, and called a cab for us so that we would not get lost looking for the place. He handed me the hotel card with his name written on it, so that I can pass it to the cab driver to return back to the hotel. I had kept this card since, and he was surprised that I still had it! I can't wait to return to the wonderful city of Taipei, and to stay here again!
