Royal Biz Taipei Hotel

An old 4-star property. Huge room (superior twin suite). Good rain shower. Comfortable bed and comforter. AC worked well and kept a stable temperature without too much humidity (not a given in Taiwan). Delicious Chinese breakfast, with different dishes each day. Great location -- less-than-5-minute walk to Dongmen Market yet in a quiet section of Jinshen South Road. Staff was professional and helpful. A very good value. Won't hesitate to stay here again and will recommend to friends and family.

The breakfast is not too elaborate but it has everything you need. I don't usually have a big breakfast but coffee and tea are provided, some fruit options, cereal, orange juice, eggs and then some asian options. It was more than sufficient for my needs. The room was fabulous. They upgraded me also. It was quiet, and dark, two things which I really like. You should familiarise yourself with the dashboard of buttons so that you can learn how to turn off all the lights. You can see this listed in the elevator. My room was very clean and actually, it is broken up into 3 rooms. The bathroom, a small sitting room, and the bedroom. 2 televisions. There is also a writing desk in the living room. There is an iron and ironing board provided in the room and a safe. The bathroom has a bath in it and it was very relaxing to take a bath. The toilet is Japanese style. The plug sockets seem to accommodate all types of plugs. I believe even European plugs could work in it. Along with that they have USB sockets to charge your devices. I slept really well in the room. The location is quite nice, as you can get anywhere quickly using the Dongmen line. There is also another line lower down. I would recommend getting an Easy Card, I even managed to get a bus to Jiufen Old Street and stayed there afterwards. The Easy Card works on the metro, on trains and buses. I also got a Taiwan sim, which was cheap. There is a Michelin star restaurant not far from the hotel called Mountain and Sea I believe. It was quite nice. However, there was an amazing fresh seafood restaurant on the right hand side of Daan Park. It's amazing. It's about a 15 minute walk. The reception staff in this hotel are wonderful.

They upgraded our room to a suite. Both the bedroom and living room were large and attractive. The bathroom had a separate shower and bathtub. The breakfast was good. About 70% of the food was Asian and 30% Western style breakfast foods. In many hotels, I spend a lot of time waiting for elevators. This hotel only had one elevator, but it was consistently and surprisingly fast. It took 8 to 10 minute to walk to the Dongmen metro station. The Chiang Kai Shek memorial was about a 12 minute walk from the hotel.

The room was very clean with comfortable mattress and pillows, the washroom was big enough to move around with shower and bath inside. it's five minutes walk to the subway station which can bring you to most tourist spots in the city. I was received a email promptly while I was in the airport that my bracelet was left behind, they couldn't mail it to me internationally but did arrange pick up or delivery inside the island, my friend received the package while I was still on my way back home, a lot of thanks for their kindness and service. Hope I can visit there again in the soonest future!

Staff were very wonderful and responsive, good breakfast, housekeeping staff were superb, room was good size, water pressure in the shower was great, nice selection of English stations on TV. The bed was very comfortable.
