Guest Reviews

• Jim (6/5): - Small room, clean bed. All towels are clean but old, worn out. You will need to hand in the room key every time you leave the hotel. The location is convenient access to MTR in couple minutes walk.
• AYA (10/5): - 台北駅から徒歩10分というアクセスの良さ。大都会の真ん中にあるのに宿泊費が安いです。 こじんまりとしているものの、内装がお洒落で都会的です。 フロントの方たちみな感じがよくて癒やされます。 設備はところどころひび割れていたり、お湯が出るまで時間がかかったりしますが、問題ないかと。 立地もあって外の音は結構聞こえますので、安眠したい方は耳栓推奨です。 また台北に来ることがあったら泊まりたいホテルです。
• Naoko (6/5): - 何しろ中山駅地下街からすぐなので立地は最高です。駅からもそんなに歩く感じはありません。スタッフも皆さん親切で感じがいいです。問題点は部屋に設置されていたドライヤーがすぐに止まってしまうこと。壁が薄いのか窓の作りが悪いのか夜中中ずっと結構大きな話し声が聞こえていたこと。
• Takeru (6/5): - 寝るだけなら最低限揃っている。 近くにはコンビニなどがあり買い物するにも便利だった。
• Alexei (8/5): - The hotel is in a great location, the staff are friendly but the rooms need refurbishment and the lift is very slow.
• Akiko (8/5): - 施設が古いのは否めないが、掃除はきちんとされており、フロントスタッフはとてもフレンドリーで良かった。中山R地下街出口を出て正面にホテルがあるので遅い時間でも安全に帰る事ができ、またコンビニも直ぐ横にあるのでとにかく便利だった。近くにはローカルなカフェやレストラン、歩いて５分もかからずに誠品生活や三越デパートもあり、ショッピングにグルメに何かと困らなかった。徒歩でもMRTに乗っても、台北東西南北どこへでもアクセスしやすく、付近には遅くまでやっているマッサージ店も沢山あるので遅くまで台北ライフを楽しむ事ができた。日本人的な手厚いサービスを求める者には向いていないが、ある程度旅慣れているのであればコストパフォーマンスも良くおすすめの宿泊先である。
• Naoko (8/5): - このホテルが台湾メトロ台北駅〜中山駅へと続く地下道の途中にあり、最後はエレベータで目の前まで来られるので、とにかく便利でした。 部屋は少し古いので、気になる方は気になると思いますが、滞在中、めいっぱい遊んで寝に戻るだけ、というのであればOKかと。レンタサイクルのU-BIKEの駐輪場も近くにあって、これで移動すると最高です。 ホテルの裏には朝６時から開いている有名な小吃店もあり、朝ご飯も大満足だし、コンビニも隣です。
• Mike (6/5): - Very tired and dated. Thin towels, hot water took forever to arrive. Location was good though...
• Verified traveler (2/5): - 味道很臭，有股狐臭味 鑰匙竟然不能隨身帶，要放在櫃台，然後櫃檯沒人就沒辦法回房間，很扯。 絕對不會再考慮這家，爛死了
• L-W (10/5): - 地點交通便利
• Kiyoshi (8/5): - Room and security is not good so much, but stuff were very kind and warm. It is enough to sleep and spend for a few days.
• daniel (8/5): - The staff is friendly, special the man
• jandjfromhawaii (2/5): Honest Review - Not sure how this hotel got quite a few 5 star reviews but our experience was far from it. We didn’t even stay the full 5 nights that we booked due to the stiff, squeaky bed and musty smell in the room. Also, the AC barely blew cold and unable to connect to WiFi from our room. Ultimately I’m rating 1 star because management refused to refund the 3 nights that we did not use (we had no issue paying for the 2 nights we did stay). Usually hotels compromise as goodwill gesture, but Purple Garden unfortunately did not. We ended up staying at a different 3 star hotel and the quality and comfort was 10x better.
• Jodie (4/5): - Stay here if you want to deal with a sore back from the stiff beds, warm AC, and mosquitoes biting you in the room. There is a strong musty smell and the room looks very outdated. This is NOT 3 star hotel. It’s like staying at a motel. Booked for 5 nights, checked out after 2 nights. Property refused to refund the unused nights. Stayed at a different 3 star property and the difference is astounding. So glad we checked out early.
• Matthew (4/5): Amazing staff. Great location. Uncomfortable - Service was outstanding. Staff was wonderful. However the fact that you have to shower in three inches of water and the air conditioning literally made me ill (very obviously hasn’t been cleaned in a decade) took away from the experience. The location is premier, right by an MRT stop and walking distance from Taipei Main Station. If you don’t care about comfort at all, its perfect.
• Dongmyoung (10/5): Kind, comfortable, classic - All of staffs are very kind. I love the elevator. It's really classic. Cosy and comfortable. It will be more grateful if the air conditioning and heating system works well.
• Kazuyuki (6/5): - スタッフは非常に親切で好感が持てる。残念ながら施設は及第点に及ばず。隣りの部屋の音が丸聞こえ。また、ホテル内の飲食施設は無い。 中山地下街がら至近で、地下街経由中山駅迄は徒歩5分程度。朝食は徒歩1〜2分の四海豆漿大王で。
• U FONg (6/5): - 地點很方便
• KENICHI (10/5): - 台湾の定宿にしています。コロナ明け、久しぶりに訪台し、宿泊したら一階の一部がテナントになっていました。建物はそれなりに年数が経ち、古びてはいますが、なにせ地下鉄出入り口から近いし、徒歩数分で中山駅まで行ける、立地は最高です。美味しい朝ご飯屋さんから、ディンタイフォンまで、買い物にも困らない場所。スタッフの方も親切だし、言う事ありません。台湾での買い物（捜し物）で困り、フロントの方に相談してみたらとても丁寧に教えて頂きました。また、次回、訪台の時にもお世話になります。いつまでも、あって欲しいホテルの一つです。
• Verified traveler (8/5): If a little cheaper, it would be the best Hotel - Pros: - bathroom was decently sized - bed was fairly comfortable - big desk to work at - really convenient location; super close to the Zhongshan mrt, very close to family mart, very close to some good restaurants, pretty close to shopping malls Cons: - toiletries were small packets that are kind of junk to use - the room smelt terrible. Needed to buy an air freshener to help with the smell - key had to be returned to the front desk - no power remained on when you left the room, so you could not charge anything; wifi did stay on - slowest lift on earth
• Julien (6/5): - Hotel was alright for the price. The check in time is extremely strict and I wasn’t allowed to check in 20 min before their check in time, which isn’t usually a big deal in most hotels… I mean, 20 min… really? They offered to hold my luggage but they do not put it away in a room or a closet, they just leave it sitting in the middle of the lobby for anyone to take. Not a great first impression. Elevator is slower than Christmas, the hallway carpets desperately need to be redone, and the shower temperature fluctuates uncomfortably. Overall the room was clean though and in decent condition.
• Megumi (8/5): - 中山駅地下街からすぐでファミリーマートもすぐ。 施設は古いので清潔感は若干劣りますが、スタッフはみんな笑顔で、気持ちがいい。
• Jian Haw (8/5): - Construction site nearby
• MINORU (4/5): - 窓が完全に閉まらないので、毎日蚊に刺された。雨の日はどうしてるんでしょう？あと冷蔵庫がないのはつらかったですね。
• Taiyo (10/5): - 立地、値段、サービス全て満足。チェックアウト後まる一日荷物を預かってもらった。唯一の不満は不潔なこと、足拭きマットや布団カバーには染みがついておりフェイスタオルはボロボロ、シャワーには小さいゴキブリがおり気になる人間にはキツイものがある。
• TERUYO (10/5): - 台北駅、中山駅どちらからも近くて便利です。
• L-W (8/5): - 唯一問題熱水需要等待一分鐘左右
• Kuo Cheng (4/5): - 隔音超差，浴室龍頭水量太小，房間有霉味
• Sheng-Chi (8/5): - 櫃台服務親切, 客房地板赤腳走有些黏著感不是很舒服 其餘還行
• yuki (8/5): - いつも利用しています。 スタッフがとても感じがよいのと場所がとにかく私には便利。 今回はお風呂が熱湯しか出なくて部屋をチェンジしてもらいましたが、チェンジも快く申し出てくれました。他は全く問題なし。 美しいホテルを希望する方には微妙かもしれませんが、一般的な清潔さだと思います。 立地の良さがそれを上回ります。車が入りにくいのでタクシーの利用は大通りで、予約したらホテル前にも止まってくれます。 なぜか、エレベーターがゆっくりです。 台北の定宿です。 値段がシーズンによって上下するのは致し方ないところかと。。。
• chih wei (6/5): 勉勉強強 - 整體來說中等，一開始以為沒電梯，看到一道很像拉門的門有人推開走出來才知道那是電梯。偏老式的旅館，最大的優點就是在捷運出口旁邊。床墊超硬，睡起來不舒服，除非必要應該是不會再二訪。
• Yuuki (10/5): - スタッフの方がとても親切でよかったです！ シャワーのお湯が出るのが少し遅いぐらいでそれ以外に不快な点はありませんでした。
• YI JING (10/5): - 捷運中山站旁邊的老字號商旅，雖然屋況比較舊，但清潔維持都算乾淨的，主要是地點真的太方便了，離車站百貨商圈與捷運都很近，推薦給外地只是來找個地方住不用待在房間裡太久的旅客
• Tung-Han (8/5): 有煙味 - 有煙味 貌似空調是流通的
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 櫃台很熱心協助所提出問題並解決
• SHEnG-HUA (8/5): - 良好
• HSIN CHANG (8/5): 交通方便但設備良率待改善 - 地點交通方便，但電器設備良率不佳，廁所動線不佳會被廁所門擋住移動路徑，隔音不好
• Hsiu Mei (6/5): - 還好
• CHIA HUNG (8/5): 交通方便 - 台北轉運站走路大約五分鐘就可到達 鄰近誠品及新光三越南西店逛街相當方便
• Verified traveler (8/5): 地點方便，房間整潔 - 地點非常好，捷運站走路近，四處都有飲食的地方。房屋雖舊，但乾淨，服務也好。
• Joseph (10/5): Nice hotel at a nice price - The staff was very friendly and the hotel was very clean. The location was great as well. Lots of good restaurants and cafes nearby
• Sharon (8/5): 衛生問題有待改善 - 地理位置方便，近捷運站口而且環境寧靜。 走一分鐘已經有便利店，再走遠一點已經有誠品, 新光三越。 唯一問題是房間有蟑螂，大小約有小指指甲般大。 另外比較在意的是，跟櫃台人員通知後，只是上來用衛生紙撿起來就沒有進一步消毒，加上當時蟑螂在房間深處，櫃台人員進來時沒問過就直接穿著球鞋踩進來覺得有點不舒服，結果要自己擦地板跟蟑螂躺過的地方...
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Very convenient
• febepb (6/5): Location and elevator - The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of transpo., cheap food and shopping. We were four pax when we visited Taipei but sadly the elevator of the hotel cannot accommodate us even without our luggages.
• Mack (10/5): - 施設は古いが、特に問題はない。
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great Place to Stay at Halloween! - I looked forward to staying at this hotel as it has become so famous in my home territory as the place where the murder happened that started the on-going riots in Hong Kong. I'm not afraid of ghosts so no problem for me. Nice staff and well located place. However, whenever you go out of the hotel you need to leave the key. However, on return staff never ask for any form of verification. That means that basically anyone could walk in, say the room number and then get the key. This would be a big problem if the staff don't recognise the guests and especially so with western tourists because tin the eyes of the Chinese staff, everyone looks the same. By the way, the air-con has no remote and the control is pretty vague; it's either too hot or too cold.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - シャワーが水だった。
• Kats (8/5): - 施設の古さは否めませんが、アメニティも一通り揃っており、しっかりとしたバスタブもあり、価格対満足度は高いと思います。 中山地下街出口からもすぐで、どこに出かけるのも便利。 ただ、外出都度キーを預けるのは少々面倒に感じました。
• kj (8/5): - 立地至上主義の自分にとっては台北に最高のホテルです。台北駅と中山駅を繋ぐ地下商店街R4出口の目の前にあり、この利便性の良さを知ってしまうと、なかなか抜けられない沼のようなものかも（笑）。周囲も気軽な店から地元の若者に人気の行列店まで数多くあり、本当に便利。古い建物なので設備は最小限のものしかなく、すごく清潔というわけではありませんが（掃除はしっかりしている）、あまりの立地の良さと、スタッフたちの一生懸命もてなそうという姿勢に、ついつい泊まってしまうホテルです。
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 交通の便がよく、中山地下街からもすぐで場所的にはとてもよかったです。 掃除は毎日されており、清潔に感じましたが、部屋に蚊が入っていたのか、ベッドにダニがいたのかわかりませんが、毎朝起きるたびに虫刺されの痕が増えていて気になりました。
• nazrul6898 (10/5): Beyond expectation. - For the price I was paying for, the hotel is beyond expectation. Room is spacious, clean and simple. Good toiletries are provided. Green tea bag and water kettle is also available should you want to make your own hot drink at night. The TV channels are a lot. Mostly non-English. There are some channels in English. The receptionists can speak some English. The best part is they try to speak English however little to make you feel welcome. Best of all is the location. It is in front of R5 exit from the Zhongshan Underground mall. The location gives proximity to Taipei Main station (so it is easy to get to airport MRT, the train station and high speed rail station). The hotel is also just some feet away from Zhongshan MRT station, giving you access to the Red and Green Line. These two lines are the key lines for you to explore Taipeinwith minimal station transfers.
• Santas (8/5): - 中山地下街R4出口の真ん前でわかりやすい。かき氷やさんやコンビニもすぐで台北駅と中山駅もすぐ近くで超便利。地下街にはセブン、ドリンクやさんや花蓮料理？サブウェイ、薬局もある。 建物は古く、昔の小学校の教室の壁と床を彷彿とさせる感じだったが値段を考えると立地が大変良いため寝るためと割り切れば、十分だと思えた。他の色々な口コミを参考にしたらとても良かった。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - スタッフの対応がとても感じが良かった
• Verified traveler (4/5): - 隔音很差，一早會聽到外面打掃人員談話內容，晚上十點多也會。無法放鬆
• chu jong (10/5): 有像住在日本的感覺 - 我住了六晚大體上很好很乾淨很清潔有點像住在日本的感覺，工作人員很親切，地點也相當方便有地鐵，百貨公司，夜市，
• Verified traveler (10/5): - いつも対応が素晴らしくて台湾での常宿にしています。
• akikoe606 (8/5): Good Location for all activities - This places is very close to Zongshan station (中山) and you can also use Zongshan metro mall from Taoyuan Airport MRT station and Main Taipei Station. Use Exit R4. You can see sign in Purple ( of course! )after you get out under ground. Taipei under ground is so clean and safe for woman solo travellers even around midnight. Family Mart is cross the road. You have to leave a key every time you go out and this places is open for 24 hours. Mainly Chinese speaker but you can use little English at reception. All of stuff are friendly and helpful. My room was opposite side of EXIT and get really noisy after 6:30am. Room size are good and I would recommend someone looking for budget hotel.
• Verified traveler (8/5): 離台北車站很近，尤其是跟前往機場的國光巴士站很近，對於搭清晨班機的旅程而言，是很好的住宿點。 - 旅館附近餐館林立、旁邊就是中山地下街，很是便利，服務人員很親切，房間也大致很乾淨，整體而言的住宿體驗還不錯。
• JUNICHI (8/5): - アクセス便利で良い。鍵を預けるのが面倒。5階の部屋に宿泊しましたが、シャワーのお湯が出るまで時間が掛かる。
• Pochi (6/5): - （場所）非常に良いです。台北駅、中山駅の地下街に直結していています。どこに行くにも便利でした。 （従業員）皆さん笑顔です。特に要求することはありませんでしたがおそらく対応してもらえるのでは。日本語が話せる方はいなかったようですが、英語は問題ありません。 （設備）さすがに古いです。改装してはありますが、壁汚れ、窓の薄さ、湿気、テレビの故障、冷蔵庫の古さなんかは気になるところです。ベットは片硬め。水回りはお湯が出るまで1，2分ぐらいかかります。スケルトンなんで（トイレも）二人以上の場合は注意が必要かと。壁の薄さは想像以上で、廊下での声、隣室の会話、シャワーの音はすべて聞こえます。 （清掃）自分以外の髪が落ちていたりと細部が気にはなりますが、こんなもんでしょう。 （近隣店舗）ファミリーマートへ10秒、朝食で有名な四海豆漿大王へ7秒と便利でした。交通量もそれほど多くないです。 （総評）この立地で値段が安いなら割り切って利用すればよいと思います。
• Verified traveler (6/5): 나름 괜찮은 숙소 - 일단 가격이 저렴한 곳을 찾다보니, 청결면에서 조금 떨어지는 상황은 감안합니다. 교통편이나 근처 쇼핑 관광 접근성 용이하며, 청결이나 소음은 다소 불편하나, 그외의 모든 편의 시설은 만족합니다
• Verified traveler (8/5): Mosquitos! - I'd like to rate everything about this hotel more than average, except for several mosquitos which annoyed us all through the night. Funny for winter, in a place without any canals or ponds around. We swatted three, but there were more. Bummer. Otherwise, a nice and friendly hotel.
• Simpson (8/5): Very close to metro good for Single traveler. - Very close to metro good for Single traveler. Room is small as expect but the price is very good
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 駅やコンビニも近くて、便利なところにあった。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - フロントの方の対応はすごく良かったです。 部屋によって同じ値段でも広さにバラツキがあるのが残念。設備もまあそれなりです。 でも、ロケーションはめちゃくちゃよいし、その割に値段も手頃だったので満足してます。
• maRIEANNE (10/5): - THE ROOM IS VERY CLEAN. THE STAFF ARE VERY ACCOMODATING. THE LOCATION IS VERY GOOD.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 繁華街に近いリーズナブルなホテル
• toshiaki (8/5): パープルガーデンホテル - 宿泊料金はリーズナブルで長期滞在に向いています。設備等はそれなりとは言えますがスタッフの皆さんは優しいです。台北駅まで600m MRT中山駅目の前とアクセスに非常に便利です。近くの食堂で美味しいものを食べてさぁ台湾各地へ出かけましょう！
• Keith (8/5): - It was a great location for me. Metro very close
• Wen Ling (8/5): - 沒有提供早餐，出門需要繳房卡給櫃台 在中山站與台北車站之間，交通便利，附近有很多餐廳，很適合約朋友見面 除了房間冷氣很冷對著床頭吹之外，對參展出差的人來說住宿上沒什麼問題 非常感謝櫃台讓我們行李從早上寄放到晚上，之後去台北還會再訂這裡
• 286Hazel286 (10/5): Great Location, food everywhere, great hotel staff. - Stayed 3 nights at Purple Garden and found the hotel to be well-located with many local eateries, restaurants and shopping centres around. The staff is very friendly and helpful and converse in Mandarin and simple English. Rooms are comfortable and clean and of reasonable size. Very wonderful place to stay. The only thing I found lacking (and it is really just a small matter) is that they only provide tea bags in the room and bottled water, no coffee, so just bring your own or buy from the many convenience stores around. Reasonably priced hotel and good value I feel. I have gone to Taipei many times before and stayed in many budget hotels, this seems to be the best so far. At Taipei Main Station, just use the underground path and look for Exits R4 or R5 which is just next to the hotel. On my first day of arrival, I used the street level to get to the Hotel and it just took me through one big round, when I could have just used the underground path and exit through R4 or R5. Purple Garden is highly recommended.
• kj (8/5): とにかく立地が最高！ - 台北駅から続く中山地下街R4出入口（エレベーターと上りエスカレーターあり）の目の前にあるのをみつけたときから気になっていたホテルでした。口コミを見ると最近は評判がいいみたいいなので思い切って宿泊してみたところ、予想以上に快適でしたね。周りに店も多く、中山駅からも徒歩１分ほどの好立地であることから交通の便のよさでは台北でも屈指でしょう。室内はシンプルですが、浴槽もちゃんとあるうえ、冷蔵庫も強力、wifiもバッチリです。従業員の方々も親切なので、「とにかく便利なホテルに泊まりたい」という人にはお勧め。そうそう、台北で屈指の現代美術館にも徒歩１分で、手前に朝食で有名な「四海豆漿大王」、美術館の先に地元の人にも大人気のセルフサービスレストラン「京讃自助餐」があります。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 中山地下街の出口すぐそば。雨天でも中山駅や台北駅から地下道を通って行ける。ショッピングや飲食が楽しめるエリア。
• Yuh Sheve (8/5): - 整體還不錯
• Brendon (10/5): Highly recommended for solo travellers and couples - A cosy and affordable little establishment. Strategically located around local eateries, shopping malls and ZhongShan mrt station. It's within walking distance to Taipei Main Station but just far enough from the hustle and bustle of city traffic. There's even a park directly in front of the hotel entrance if you just wanna chill.
• Joe (8/5): Good stuff, but slightly old hotel - The hotel location is right in front of the R3 entrance (Zhongsan Underground Street), which is just 4-5 minutes walking to the MRT station. There is a Family Mart within 100m and many fast foods (McDonald, KFC, Subway etc) within walking distance (5-10 minutes). The staff is very friendly, check-in/ out process is FAST and hassle-free. Everything is good except the hotel condition, it's slightly OLD. If you like NEW hotel, please skip this. Otherwise, it's a good choice for budget travelers...
• noelledeg (10/5): Charming family-owned hotel - Stayed here with my mother on our birthday trip. The beds were very comfortable and hotel was clean. Located midway between Taipei Main Station and Zhongshan Station, it can be a bit of a walk if you're used to being driven around all the time.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Descent enough - They don't provide shampoo or shower soap/gel at all. The bathroom is fairly nice and clean. Price is comparable with other hotels in the area.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Recommended - Exelently convenient location.
• MirkoLiang (6/5): Good location, clean - The location is strategic: close to Zhongshan subway station, hence in Zhongshan area with plenty of places to eat and shopping, it can also be reached by one of the exits of the underground Zhongshan metro mall (exit R4 or R5 if I remember correctly), which connects Taipei Main Station and Zhongshan. So if you are in Taipei Main Station and you fancy a little walk instead of getting one more time the subway you can get in there in no time. Now about the hotel itself. Not bad, not one of the newest but still in good conditions. The bed was comfortable, clean overall. What bothered me the most was that in the bathroom there was no place to set your stuff while taking the shower, I mean come on, anything would do just give me something to place my soap. The hotel staff was friendly and the reception is 24h opened. A little too expensive for what it is.
• S Lai (8/5): - Good location between 2 subway stations with 7Eleven and family mart and local foods and major shopping nearby. it is a bit far away from Airport Express Station, so we ended up calling a cab for NT80 to station.
• Sarah (8/5): Great Affordable Hotel - This was a great, affordable hotel near both Zhongshan and Tapei Main Station. The room was clean and comfortable. They also provided breakfast (sandwich and coffee). I would definitely stay here again.
• Wib00nL (8/5): Good value for money คุ้มค่าสมราคา - สภาพห้องค่อนข้างใหม่และกว้างขวาง อุปกรณ์ทุกอย่างทำงานได้ดี มีไดรเป่าผมในห้องด้วย ลิฟต์เล็กและช้าหน่อยแต่ไม่ได้ใช้บ่อยๆก็เลยไม่เดือดร้อน ทำเลดี ขึ้นลิฟท์ตรงทางออก R5 จากทางเชื่อม MRT (Metro Mall) ก็เจอโรงแรมเลย อาหารเช้าพอประทังชีวิตได้ มีขนมปัง กาแฟ กับข้าวอร่อยบ้าง ไม่อร่อยบ้าง แต่ข้าวต้มอร่อยมาก operator สื่อสารภาษาอังกฤษได้คล่อง The room is not small and pretty new. All equipment works well. There's a hair dryer in room. Elevator is rather small and slow but I rarely use it, so no problem. Good location. Getting up the elevator from the exit R5 of the MRT connected passage (Metro Mall) then you'll see the hotel in front of you. Breakfast is just to help you survive but the porridge rice is wonderful, it soft and smooth. The hotel provides coffee and bread. The operators speak English well.
• raymondgonzales1978 (10/5): Best Hotel Near Taipei Station - 7 Minute Walk from Station! - The Purple Garden Hotel is a perfect hotel near Taipei Train Station. First and foremost, if you email the hotel directly, they can answer any question you have within 12 hours. They staff is friendly. The rooms are nice and I loved the decor. I took the bus from Taipei International Airport and walked to the hotel in less than 7 minutes. I would highly suggest booking in advance because it was sold out every weekend I wanted to come. For the price you are paying, this hotel is perfect. Another plus is the subway is right next to the entrance of the hotel. There is also a Family Mart about 1 minute away that is 24 hours. I also walked about 10 minutes for a 24 hour McDonald's as well. Maids are efficient and always eager to clean your room. I loved this place!

• Bee Guat (4/5): - Love the location, as it near one of the exit from MRT station. But the area in the room was very small, same as bath room , if too big size I don't think he/she can fix.
• wodeb (8/5): Simple cheap Asian hotel - Basic and cheap. Wouldn't go on my honeymoon but if you have done a lot of solo travel in Asia you have seen worse. View from window was a sprawl but it's very close to the station and cheap. Clean but beige! The on suite was nice and water was always hot and with right pressure at all times that I used it, was on third floor. Most other guests were Taiwanese/Chinese/HK so breakfast was a bit unfamiliar for me. I stuck to the sweet sliced white bread with crumbly butter and jam. and weak percolated coffee. But there are plenty of places around to get a second breakfast, you would still be in quids in. The only cheaper option in the area is a hostel.
• 334vincenty (6/5): Just a simple hotel - The hotel location is just above Zhongshan Station (exit R4)and just a short walk away from Taipei Main Station. Do go out and explore the surroundings for really delicious meals instead as the cafeteria only serves breakfast with very limited choice of food (bread and porridge only). The room is quite small and simple but good enough. Oh yar! Do bring along your toiletries.
• conniel299 (4/5): Was just ok - The room was quite small. There were no toiletries included, not even handsoap in the washroom. Another funny thing was that the door and wall for the bathroom was frosted glass, so you get the whole voyeurism experience. The bed was hard as a rock. The positive was that it was right next to the metro and a. shopping area.
• suannchong (2/5): We're supposed to stay 3 nights. I asked for a refund. - We were supposed to stay 3 nights at Purple Garden Hotel. The photos on their website looks okay and most comments on TripAdvisor suggest that the place was good. We booked the place. When we got to the hotel, we were surprised at how close it was located - just right next to a MRT entrance/exit. However, when we manage to check into our room - it looked VERY, VERY aged and used, the sheets are worn and have stains on them, the room smelled really badly. The bedside lamps flickers occasionally and 5 minutes later, we were out and went down to ask for a new room. They gave us another room but it was the same - very aged, smelly, and had moulds on the headboard and ceiling!!! The place was just very eerie, scary, and old. We had to put up there one night (with our lights on) because it was a long weekend in Taipei and we couldn't find a new place in time. Thankfully they refunded our money for our second and third night. Please don't make this place your accommodation in Taiwan just because you want to save a little. It's a beautiful country with much much MUCH MUCH better places to stay at. Oh, they also don't provide shampoo or body wash - expects you to buy/bring your own.
• JVS06 (6/5): Basic, clean, very near Taipei Main Station MRT - As it was new year's eve, we didn't have much choice. I wrote directly to this hotel and they confirmed my reservation. They can reply in English but allow some delay in response. The room is clean, small and basic. It's location is ideal as it is just next to Exit No. R4 of the Zhongshan Metro Mall from Taipei Main Station MRT. It's also a stone's throw away from Nanjing Street which has lots of shops. If you don't read Mandarin, you would have difficulty finding it as the hotel name is written in Chinese Characters. The closest MRT is Taipei Main Station. Walk towards Zhongshan Metro Mall and take exit R4. As you step out from the exit, look left and the hotel is right there. There is a Family Mart nearby. The receptionist speak very little English. Breakfast consist of porridge and no coffee or tea. Free wifi is available. It also has a washing machine and a dryer which was helpful. It's a very modest hotel with great location.
• Jeff0088 (8/5): Worthwhile & very convenient - This hotel is located at R4 exit of Zhong Shan Metro Station Exit / Entrance. It's really a good deal for the budget minded and the hotel is quite decent. There is a vegetarian restaurant along the stretch of roads too. =) I will definitely be opting this hotel in future if I travel to Taipei again.
• bmay55 (4/5): Not as expected - This hotel is located just outside the Zhongshan MRT Exit R4. The hotel was also kind to let us leave our luggage at the dining area before we could check-in. We saw good reviews of this place, however, it was rather disappointing. We booked 2 twin and 1 queen rooms, only the queen room at Lvl4 had good working connection to WiFi, clean beds and toilet. Our room also at Lvl4 was a twin room, one of the beds was right beside the glass toilet wall. The wall was dirty for the toilet side but because it was glass, it felt dirty and unhygienic from the bed. Our room couldn't connect to WiFi, the AC wasn't working as well. Bed sheets and towels were grayish with some black dots. The lift starts at Lvl2 and ends at Lvl5, so my friend had to carry luggage up to Lvl6 twin room, no WiFi there as well and beds were mere thin mattresses. The ceiling was just few inches above their heads. We checked out after staying one night. Thankfully the owner though wasn't happy, didn't give us much trouble for our checkout request. We heard calls, so we hope they manage to fill up the rooms. We found a much better place in Ximending with just a small top-up. I recommend for this price, there are definitely better places elsewhere if you plan your trip early.
• Siauching (10/5): Great location and affortable price - Just situated 2 mins from the train station and located near to cafes. Welcoming receptionist and superb service. The price is really affordable for Taipei and the room is nice and clean. Highly recommended for a budget stay in Taipei and if you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Xi Men Ding. If you missed the breakfast, there are Taiwanese breakfast shops just nearby the hotel and they are cheap and good! They allow you to keep your luggage if you reach before check-in time or your return flight is late after the check-out. The receptionist were really helpful in helping us to call for a cab to the airport as well.
• AdamP766 (8/5): If you're looking for inexpensive and location this is ideal - I have come to Taipei many times. The Purple Garden is a very exact type of hotel. It is not the most luxurious, but if you're looking for a inexpensive hotel a short walk from the Taipei main bus and train station, then this is the best I've found. Literally you walk 7 minutes and you're there from the station. There is easy transport with a metro nearby. Movie theater, restaurants etc. So, the pros of staying here is the cost (very inexpensive compared to other hotels) and the location. On the downside, the rooms are only moderate. Beds are a bit too hard. No closet (but has hooks on the wall for hanging clothes). Breakfast Chinese style not American/English breakfast. Kind of like similar to any of the hotel chains in the USA on quality (like a Best Western, Days Inn etc.) I've never seen anything bugs in my room or had them be dirty though. And they do have WIFI and Air conditioning. I guess it depends mostly on what you're looking for, but hopefully this gives enough data to help decide if this would be the type of place for you.
• susanwais (8/5): Great location in city center - We booked this hotel after reading the comments in Tripadvisor. The location is great. Just next to the subway exit which is very convenient. Room is clean. Aircond works well. Bed is nice to sleep. Bathroom is clean with transparent glass. Flat screen tv with many channels. Breakfast is simple with porridge and condiments. They have luggage storage available. Lift is located on first floor with max 3 adults only. It is worth the price we paid overall and it is not a problem finding the hotel. Will recommend friends to stay here if you are in budget.
• mollythefish (8/5): location is good . - The hotel is in between zhong San station and Taipei main station. If we are exit R4 or R5. If u exit from r4 the hotel is just at your left side. And behind a coffee joint call 85c . The main entrance is small. The hotel is about 10mins walk from Taipei main station. （ underground ） Room size acceptable. Non smoking building ( all Taiwan hotel ). staffs are helpful enough. Breakfast OK. Taiwan porridge. Room is clean.
