Eastin Taipei Hotel

Hotel is on the 14th floor, we stayed in the two bedroom queen beds room on the 13th floor. Room is great, beds were great and because the room is located along an "L" shaped - literally no one walks by the room so it's super quiet. The location is fantastic as it is located in Da'an district. From the airport you would take the express shuttle and then walk your way to the MRT blue line to zhongxiao fujing station and follow signs for Exit 4. While the Sogo Exit will work, instead just proceed into the underground (miki plaza) mall until you see a set of escalators on your left, head up, look for Mcdonalds and head in that direction. The hotel is about two blocks away on the same side. There is another exit that is right in front of the hotel but lacks an escalator. Cost of the trip from airport to hotel: $5 USD airport train shuttle plus $1USD for the MRT. Ubers are generally very safe and cheap locally, but it costs about $50 to get to the airport. There are 7-11s/family marts everywhere, but there is one conveniently located in that underground mall. If you don't like taking the MRT, the bus is super frequent and both stops are closeby. I forgot to mention that the hotel is about two store fronts away from the Dinghao mall..mainly small shops selling clothes. But the jewel is in the basement where a great no frills restaurant that will fill your taste buds with delectable savory delights such as fried dumplings, egg scallion pancake, hot and sour soup and other items. But the best part? four of us had dinner and it ran us about 300 NTD or 10 USD. I also have to mention the McDonalds sells fried apple pies (like how they used to make them in America) and are so delicious. For clothes shopping there is a very large multi-story uniqlo near by. If you prefer the brandname items - then the Sogo dept store is your choice.

Great location (directly in front of a metro subway entrance - stairs, but need some walking underground to reach any one station, no problem if it's raining). Free coffee provided. Staff were friendly.

Outstanding location- right between 2 MRT stations, use the underground footpath to get here, take the lift to the 14th floor. Good sized room, good wifi speed. Free coffee tea and nibbles avail.

Check in process was smooth and hassle-free. You are allowed LCI as long as you inform them beforehand. The room was sufficiently big and it came with a bathtub. Drinks are on the house and you may borrow things like ironing board and iron. Once you check out you are able to leave the bags at the reception.

I booked the ladies dorm, as I was travelling alone. It was exactly what I needed. A very comfortable bed and doona, enough space to lay out two luggages and a small fridge. The bathrooms were very clean and had L'Occitane products and Dyson hair dryers. They provide free snacks and coffee in a lounge area as well. It was great to have a more economic option when travelling alone!
