Holiday Inn Express Taoyuan by IHG

Very good buffet breakfasts with a variety of dishes which were changed up daily. The staff were very helpful and nice.

Breakfast is good Bed is very comfortable

Located about half an hour drive from the T2 TAOYUAN airport. Property provided a nice pictorial map of place of interest that surrounds it. Property is closely located near few supermarket and a shopping mall just down the street (about 10mins walk). Also a 24hours CARREFOUR shopping mall is located close by also about 15mins walk away. You can choose to do some last minute snacks souvenier shopping at this last stop. Good bathing amenities is provided such as showering soap and shampoo and conditioner. We found this nice Japanese restaurant that opens till 3am just opposite. its nice!!! Room is small but enough to fit in 2 adults with 2 big luggage and 2 small luggage. Breakfast is too provided (fee option) and its adequate selection. Dining area is small so time preference will be allocated to avoid crowding and queue time. Coffee and tea is provided at the dining area 24hours (self service). SO just drop by anytime if you may need.

Door gap. We notice our room door is not concealed all the way to the ground and a gap of about 3-5cm between door and floor. This does not provide much security feeling for us. I had to block the door with my luggage bag as extra security after locking up from inside. Frosted bathroom wall. Our room comes with a frosted wall that can see the figure of bathing person from the bed. Not so suitable for friends traveling together. As the room size is small; the bathroom design is smart as such that the same door that closes the toilet area will also serve as the showering door.

Great access to Taoyuan airport, about 15 min by taxi. Railway station 5 min by taxi. Great welcome by reception, special mention Mr James and Mr Chen. The only downside is lack of parking place for taxis. Lots of dining outlets in the vicinity.

Good

Pros - The hotel includes breakfast with good price - Bed was comfortable Cons - The property was okay. It is old building so there was a bit mould in the bathroom. - Staff were friendly and helpful. - Gym area is not a gym area… only two pieces of equipment. - The most painful part is you only can take taxi or Uber to the hotel. Bus is not very convenient.

Location

No walk in shower as stated, just a hose above the bath, room very small and very over priced for what you get. Room smelt stale and very dated.
