Guest Reviews

• Davin (4/5): Review - The location is near to ning xia night market and near to 在睡5分钟。There's a starbucks nearby as well. Personally the room is lacking in the lighting, we had a corner which there is no light at all. The booking site did not state clearly that all rooms booked are non-window, resulting in us booking a standard room and received a room that does not have window. There's no network in the room, every single time i want to reply to message, i have to stand behind the room door.
• Sandeep (8/5): - All is well Some more vegetarians options for breakfast with clear vege label
• Ivy.hua (8/5): -
• HARUHIKO (6/5): -
• 菲亞 (1/5): 爛 - 房間好看 我2/25就預約了4/30～5/2的一個雙床房和雙人床房間，結果住宿當天跟我們說雙人床房間已經沒有了所以另外安排雙床房，完全沒有事先告知也沒有補償，價格也一樣照當初訂房價格金額算，接著令人傻眼的是來了，當天晚上洗完澡用飯店毛巾包頭髮拆下來後發現上面竟然有前房客的血跡== 超噁心，噁心到死了，這真的是一間很扯的飯店
• Susanne (8/5): - Sehr gute Lage in der Nähe der Taipei Main Station. Sehr gute, angenehme und sehr leise Klimaanlage. Ein Zimmer ohne Fenster ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber mit dem unechten, beleuchteten Fenster wird dieser Umstand fast wettgemacht. Ich habe mich trotzdem wohl gefühlt.
• Masahiro (10/5): -
• Tristan (10/5): Suosittelen! - Henkilökunta oli todella kohtelias ja mukava. Sijainti hyvä. Huone oli erittäin siisti. Kuntosali heikko, toki mitä voi olettaa hotellin salilta.
• Michelle (10/5): -
• David (9/5): Good value & good location and staff. -
• Mohamed (4/5): - Il y a une très mauvaise odeur dans les chambres La chambre, petit déjeuner
• 紫彤 (10/5): -
• Wilma (9/5): - Aardig personeel, keurige ruime kamer, goeie locatie
• Graeme (8/5): A good hotel with very easy access to the Taoyuan Airport MRT - This hotel was chosen mainly for its location, being only a short walk of 250 metres (on good sidewalks) from Entrance (& Exit) 6 of Taoyuan Airport MRT at Taipei main train station, thus giving us easy access for our departure from TPE airport. It was also one of the cheapest hotels (per day) during our 11 day stay in Taiwan - it was very good value for money. Some English was spoken in reception - one of the three staff on duty had a good command of English - the other two need some help from Google Translate (English to Chinese Traditional). Our room was perfectly adequate for a short stay - it was clean and comfortable, suitably prepared and with a very comfortable bed. It also had a good-sized safety box, which would have been far more secure if attached to a wall or the room's furniture so it could not migrate around the room. Breakfast catered for both Asian and Westerner tastes, though the 'bias' did seem to cater more for Asian clientele. The standard of the food provided was good. Breakfast was quite busy, indicating a very popular hotel. There are sufficient restaurants near to the hotel for lunch or evening meals. We particularly liked the 'Buffet' restaurant located almost next to the hotel - a different concept to normal buffets, with you selecting particular dishes to eat and then paying a fixed sum for each dish selected - we ate for two people for only TW $400 (total) each night, which seemed to us extremely good value for money. As hotels go, this is a good hotel especially if you are arriving or departing Taiwan from TPE airport. Note that Taipei main station is vast and on many levels, being so very easy to be 'lost' in it - by using Exit 6 on Taoyuan Airport MRT at Taipei main train station, you will save yourself much hassle in getting to and from this hotel. We asked for an iron - it took 24 hours before the iron actually arrived (as there were none immediately available, all being used by other guests at the time of our request).

• Ezequiel (3/5): Bad relation price quality. Paid for a hotel of 5star and for me is not more than 1 start. - I don't like me the price. I see wrong the price when I reserved, around 200usd per only 1 night, is not a 5star hotel, the price I so expensive. For 200usd in other hotel has a night with 5 start, is so crazy the price.

• Brian (7/5): - 10 to 15 min walk from Airport MRT station. Shops and restoration nearby. Small rooms. Choice between no window, window no view, or window with traffic noise.
• Riki (10/5): -
• Debbie (10/5): Would recommend this property - Great location and staff at the front desk were very helpful especially since we did not speak the language.
• Nanette (8/5): Excellent stay except for the double charge in my debit card. - The weather and breakfast I was double charged (pre authorization) and onsite swipe of mt debit card. This case is already under dispute for refund of pre authorization payment of 68,498 php.
• SHENGLI (10/5): -
• Ming Hui (7/5): 房間清潔棒，1F大堂往洗手間清潔侍改善！ - 個人覺得早餐是酒店表現較差的部份！我曾經住宿過北京Holiday Inn Express，他們的早餐較為營養，豐盛，譬如有更高雜糧類食物，熱牛奶，熱豆漿等等。 另外，一樓大堂通往洗手間的途中，地板髒污，物品凌亂，有很大改善空間。但是房間整潔是這次令人感到愉悅的部份。雖然貴酒店接了許多團客，他們經過房間時，聲音有點吵鬧。 同上。
• Stephanie (7/5): Für eine Nacht ok - Zweckmäßige Unterkunft in zentraler Lage. Der Preis war definitiv für die gebotene Leistung zu teuer. Wir hatten das Pech, an einem Feiertag in der Stadt zu sein und alle Hotels hatten an diesem Wochenende die Preise verdreifacht. Unser Zimmer hat kein Fenster.

• Daiki (9/5): -
• Pamela Lai Yin (5/5): - 早餐選擇不錯，有中式粥品，自製擔擔面，亦有西式面包，生果。連住3天，每天有些許不同，很好。 房間在電梯旁的頭房，很差，窗戶外就係大大個酒店燈箱，24小時長着，光到不行，窗簾24小時關着都阻擋不了燈光。 床有點軟，窗外車聲很大，睡得很差。 被鋪有血漬/銹漬，不知道是什麼。 地點剛好在中山站和台北車站中間，不是很方便
• teodor (9/5): -
• Chun yuan (10/5): -

• Lea (10/5): Super Lage, gemütliches, sauberes Zimmer und sehr gutes Frühstück. - Schönes Design des Zimmers, sauber, schöne Einrichtung. Zimmer war innenliegend (kein Fenster mit Tageslicht), dafür gab es ein falsches Fenster mit Beleuchtung, welches eine gemütliche Atmosphäre schaffte. Gutes, vielfältiges Frühstück. Super Lage, in der Nähe von Main Station und vom Ningxia Night Market.
• Udeep (9/5): -

• Charmaine (7/5): Comfortable and convenient - Good location and close to train station and night market. Despite newer recent interior upgrade works, sink was leaking and shower water pressure was low. Requires repair works
• Sonia (6/5): Average hotel with very basic amenities - Good location to 2 main MRT lines. Staff were very friendly. Beds were comfortable Windowless rooms and no ventilation. Bathroom super mouldy and damp smells. Breakfast was ok but doesn't get replenished and later sittings have reduced selection of food " Laundry facilities" is 1 washing machine and 1 dryer.
• Christian (5/5): Rooms without windows? - The hotel is in walking distance to Taipei Main Station. The room itself was modern and seemed recently renovated. Good breakfast. It was not advertised that the room would not have any windows. I would not have paid the amount if I would have known that.
• 周 (6/5): -
• Camila (9/5): - Ubicacion, piezas muy espaciosas
• Daniel (8/5): I found the stay very pleasant and hope to come back some other time. - The room was very snug and the breakfast was very good for the cost. There was an odd smell in the room and there was leak in the shower glass that led water to leak on the bathroom floor.

Mid range clean hotel. Presentable hotel room reasonably clean to me a clean freak only have a bit of dust in the air. Because this is actually an older hotel that recently joing IHG group. Was surprise with the wide spread for breakfast. Consider not bad already as they change some items daily.

• maverick_phoenix (6/5): Recently Renovated/Remodeled Hotel That Requires Improvement In Some Areas - Please kindly note that Taipei Hotel Orchard Park has changed to Holiday Inn Express Taipei Train Station after renovation/remodeling. We chose Holiday Inn Express Taipei Train Station as our second hotel to stay in Taipei. We made this decision as IHG website promoted this hotel on its website as a new hotel. It’s our first time trying out the Holiday Inn Express brand within the IHG Hotel Group. However, the day before we checked in we found terrible reviews of the hotel on Holiday Inn Express Taipei Train Station section of the IHG website and also on google reviews of the hotel. About 50% of the reviews by guest on both websites were not good citing that the rooms had insect, cockroaches and beg bugs. We were shocked to read this as we thought it was a new hotel. But by reading the previous reviews the hotel was previously known as Taipei Hotel Orchard Park but was renovated/remodeled and changed its name to Holiday Inn Express Taipei Train Station. It started operations as Holiday Inn Express Taipei Train Station at the end of May 2025. From what I have read it was supposed to be opening sometime in July. But I believe the earlier opening was to be prepared for the guests that comes during the peak summer holidays. We were considering cancelling our booking at Holiday Inn Express Taipei Train Station and to stay longer at our first hotel in Taipei due to the recent reviews of Holiday Inn Express Taipei Train Station. But after finding out that my booking was non refundable and the cancelation policy stated that I would have to pay the full price of our stay if I cancelled, we decided to give it a chance and try out the newly renovated/remodeled Holiday Inn Express Taipei Train Station. Therefore, I emailed Ms. Shelly Lee, who was the contact point of the hotel for me, the day before my arrival. I stated that the room should be clean with no cockroaches and insects. There should be no bed bugs. The pillows should smell nice. I called Ms. Shelly Lee the next day to go through the email I sent her. She informed me that she will make sure that this doesn’t happen in my room. Also, she kindly informed me that she has asked the housekeeping to make sure that this doesn’t happen to my room. Once we arrived at the hotel Ms. Kiyo Lee checked me in. My booking was guaranteed by credit card but was not charged. We paid for our stay when we checked in. We were assigned the room on the top floor of the hotel, which is the 8th floor. I looked for Ms. Shelly Lee when I arrived. She came out to greet me. She kindly told me that the whole building went through pest control on Monday, 23rd June 2025. My check out time was not printed on the guest registration card. So I asked if my late check out time was granted. Ms. Kiyo Lee initially told me no because the hotel was busy. I asked Ms. Shelly Lee and she told me only half of what I requested is ok. I asked for 30 minutes more. Ms. Shelly Lee negotiated with Ms. Kiyo Lee to make it happen. On the day you check out you have to ask the reception to set your room card again for late check out as it only works until 11:00 am. Once we entered the room. To our right there were closet to hang our clothes. Also underneath the closet there is an area where we can put our two large bags. Under the bag area there is the electronic safe. Next to the closet there is a mirror. To the left of the door there was the toilet. If you walk straight further into the room to your right there is a refrigerator, which is empty. On top of the refrigerator there are two complimentary water bottles, a hot water maker, tea bags and coffee bags. Next to this there is a television. When facing the television to the right there is a socket and the light switch for the refrigerator area and to the left there is a socket too. But both sockets are for local sockets. Therefore, you need to bring your international travel adaptor. There is one type c socket next to the socket on the left of the television. There is a circle desk to the left of the television. It’s enough for one person to do their work. They have a lamp on the desk. This lamp you can control the brightness of the lamp. There is only one chair provided for this desk. It would have been good to have two chairs. The bed is large and is a queen sized bed. The bed is very comfortable. It’s a firm bed. So if one person moves the other person wouldn’t feel it. There are also sockets and light switches on either side of the bed. They provide two slippers in the room. There is a sofa to the left of the bed next to the window. But I cannot see what is outside as they have covered the window and it cannot be opened. Please kindly note that there are rooms with no windows as well. Luckily, there were no cockroaches and insects in our room and no bed bugs on our bed. We managed to have a comfortable sleep on our bed. The toilet has a modern toilet seat. The water coming out the bathroom sink is good. However, the concern is the shower area. There is no curtain to prevent the water splashing out. Therefore, after you take a shower the floor is quite wet. It could be slippery. The shower head seems new. But there was a large yellow stain on top of the shower hose. This shows that not everything is new here. However, the water coming out from shower head was good. You can easily adjust it from hot to cold water. Sometimes the toilet flush didn’t work. On several occasions we had to wait a long time for the water to be filled up again before pressing the flush button. The room I stayed in was generally soundproof from the sounds outside the hotel. However, we can hear the doors slamming and people talking in rooms next to us. Thus, soundproof is not that strong within the hotel. I went downstairs to the reception to get some extra towels. This time I met Mr. Ito of the front desk. He kindly asked me to get two complimentary drinks. I had a choice of coca cola, sprite, OOHA, grape juice and apple juice. I picked two apple juices. He asked house keeping to send me two large towels, which arrived promptly after I came back to my room. Also, he noted that I need two extra large towels as well. I was touched that they provided extra towels during my stay. At lobby you will find that coffee machine where you can have coffee, espresso and hot water for free. Also there is iced water, a snack next to iced water and tea bags, which is also free. There is a Taiwan guide leaflet that is in English, Korean and Chinese. There is a vending machine at the lobby as well, which sells a variety of products. To the left of the coffee machine there is a restaurant area but its empty and not used because it’s the restaurant of the previous hotel in Taipei Hotel Orchard Park. I informed Mr. Ito that there are many mosquitos in the lobby of the hotel. He promptly got a mosquito killing racket out and started killing them. Breakfast of the hotel starts at 6:30 am to 10:00 am and is served on the 2nd floor of the hotel. The restaurant on the second floor only operates for breakfast at the moment. There no lunch or dinner is served in this restaurant. Breakfast is included in the rate. At breakfast there is scrambled egg, vegetables, clams, pasta, oden, chicken, ham, chicken nuggets, french fries, onion rings, congee station, soy braised pork, salad section, two different types of yakult, fruits, cheese, coffee machine, drink area (grape juice, orange juice, soy milk and water). For some of the dishes the item changed the next day. On the second day we didn’t see any mosquitos in the restaurant but we saw mosquitos in the restaurant on the third day. On the third floor there is a small gym and also a laundry area within the gym. The laundry is free of charge for guests of the hotel. There are two laundry machines in the laundry area. The hotel started operations from end of May 2025. However, only the guests rooms on the 6th to 8th floor are ready now. I was informed that the guest rooms on the 3rd to 5th floor are still undergoing remodeling at the moment. There are two elevators in the hotel. But only one elevator goes to the 8th floor. Only after you touch your room card on the sensor inside the elevator you will be able to press the floor your room is on. Areas which require improvement and are not to the IHG standards are that some staff don’t speak fluent English. The day before I checked in I called the hotel to ask for Ms. Shelly Lee. But a person named Allen picked it up. He told me that he doesn’t speak good English. Told me that the English speaking staff will come the next day at 7:00 am. He just hanged up. When I went to the reception in the morning I asked for the mosquitos to be killed to Mr. Ian Wu. But he didn’t know what the word mosquito was. Therefore, I had to use google translate app to show him. Only then he understood. They are nice and kind people but they don’t speak good English. One more point to mention that are not to IHG standards and I felt awkward is that not all staff wear the Holiday Inn uniform. The house keeping people didn’t wear the Holiday Inn staff uniform. On our second day at the hotel in the breakfast section there was a man who picked up the finished dishes from the guest table. On top he was only wearing a men’s tank top. He didn’t look that hygienic. He was in the middle of the dining area getting the finished dishes. Sometimes he would raise his arm and you could see his armpit. It was a total shock for me to see this person in the hotel restaurant. However, this person didn’t appear in the restaurant on the 3rd day. When you walk out of the hotel to the right there is Carrefour Market, which is a very large supermarket in the basement. If you continue to walk straight to the right of the hotel you will see Pizza Hut on the opposite side of the road. There are also some local food shops such as Day Nice Brunch and Coffee, Crazy Burger, etc. If you turn right again before the pedestrian crossing you will see Kuai An Pharmacy where you can buy some medicine if you fall sick and also Louisa Coffee. Coffee at Lousia Coffee is great and cheaper than Starbucks. Similar to Starbucks Lousia Coffee also sells some cakes, bread, burger and some rice dishes. Instead of turning right if you go straight across the pedestrian crossing there is 7 Eleven and some local restaurants (San Yuan Hao Braised Pork Rice restaurant and Liang She Han Buy Good restaurant). Opposite side you will see one coffee shop named Wenism Café. Opposite Lousia Coffee on the other side of the road you will see Starbucks. If you walk pass Starbucks there is Family Mart and 7 Eleven. The Family Mart is quite big and has a seating area where you can buy food at Family Mart and eat there. If you walk pass Family Mart and 7 Eleven there is a Japanese restaurant named Komugi. If you walk to the end of the road to your left there is coffee shop named Comptoir, which sells coffee and desert. To the left of the hotel you will see XiongBa Buffet restaurant. If you turn left at the pedestrian crossing and walk straight down you will see Chage tea shop. On the opposite side of the road you will see Hotel Q (Hotel Queen) and 7 Eleven. You walk down the road next to Hotel Q (Hotel Queen) and 7 Eleven then the last shop to the left, which is on Lane 220-17, you will find a Braised Pork on Rice restaurant. This Braised Pork on Rice restaurant is very popular and needs to line up. If you don’t want to line up you then go earlier then the peak times. We went here for dinner and it was very good. There are a two to three more restaurants on the same road. To the left of the hotel if you walk straight and cross the pedestrian crossing you will find MWD café & brunch. Before the clothes shop Buyer / Beyond Fashion if you turn left you will see a road with lot of round lanterns. You walk straight down and you will see Han Kuk Um Ma Eui Ba Bae Qu (한국 엄마의 바비큐), which is a Korean BBQ restaurant to your right. Also a souvenir shop called Dativie to your left. If you walk straight at the end of the road there is 7 Eleven and opposite 7 Eleven there is Sundo House Fresh Specialty Gourmet, which is a Japanese restaurant. To the left of the hotel if you continue to walk straight then turn left at the end and walk straight you will find Taipei City Mall. It’s an underground shopping mall. Its similar atmosphere to shops inside the train stations in South Korea. To the left of the hotel if you walk straight. But at the first pedestrian crossing if you turn right and cross the pedestrian crossing and walk straight you will see a Bingsu shop and opposite it is Family Mart. While there is Syzygy Coffee just near Family Mart. Special thanks goes to Ms. Shelly Lee for organizing a clean room and late check out for our stay at Holiday Inn Express Taipei Train Station. I first got to know Ms. Shelly Lee when I called the hotel to ask some questions. But the people who pick up the calls didn’t speak good English. My call was always transferred to Ms. Shelly Lee who spoke the best English amongst the staff. She is really kind and caring person who knows how to serve customers well. I am also thankful to Mr. Ito who made sure that I got extra towels during my stay. Overall, I would rate my stay at 3+.
• Anirutk13 (9/5): Superb -
• Mihoko (8/5): - 桃園空港からのMRT台北ナビから歩いて直ぐ。 バスダフ、シャワートイレの設備がある。
• Shouichi (8/5): - 駅から近く、雨が降っても屋根がある道が多いのであまり濡れない ウオシュレット有ります
• MASAKO (6/5): - 行きたい場所からの立地場所が最高。便利。 中山も徒歩圏内。
• Yuk kwan (8/5): 可以更好 - 早餐有待改善，整體性係屬於中上。
• Shinya (10/5): - とても良い。バランス良い。
• Fumiharu (4/5): 窓のない部屋はやっぱり無理だ - 静かにすごせましたが、やはり窓の部屋は閉塞感に耐えれられない。朝なのか夜なのかわからないのは厳しい。 良い場所にあり土曜日なので値段は相応なのかもしれませんが、安くても多少騒音あっても窓がほしい、とおもいました。
• Nanami (6/5): - 窓なしの部屋に宿泊しました。 部屋の特性上仕方がないのかもしれませんが湿気とカビがすごかったです。 匂いは慣れるのですが、咳が止まりませんでした。 部屋はとても広かったのですがその分残念です。
• ATSUSHI (8/5): - サービス、接客総じてグッドです。施設も綺麗だと思います。残念なところは冷蔵庫に前に泊まっていた人のドリンクが飲みかけで残っていたところと、ボディソープが切れていたけど補充されていなかったところです。しかし、その点があったとしても満足いく宿でした。
• Pak Ho (6/5): - Walkable distance to night market and transport to airport, this was great. But the staff could be more polite, the check-in available time was late, and the property was a bit old.
