Having FX Hotel Taipei many times since 2014, and it’s been interesting to watch how the property has "evolved" due to many poorer and overpriced competing hotels in the area of Taipei. Early on, there were noticeable shortcomings, but over the years the hotel holds its own as a strong contender in the mid-range category. The rooms are a real highlight—spacious, thoughtfully furnished, and far more practical than many competitors that lean on sparse, minimalist design. For business travelers or digital nomads, the setup makes remote work not just possible but genuinely doable. That said, there are still areas where FX falls short. Bathroom upkeep remains a recurring issue, with mildew and mold appearing across multiple rooms I’ve stayed in. More concerning, on my most recent stay I encountered two small cockroaches in the room, which I immediately reported to the front desk. This was the first time I’ve ever come across live cockroaches in a ********* hotel—something management should address with urgency. The laundry facilities are another letdown. While it’s convenient to have washers and dryers available for extended stays, the dryer is underpowered, taking nearly twice as long as a commercial-grade machine. In practice, it’s often more time-efficient to use a nearby laundromat instead. All that said, FX Hotel Taipei has become a dependable and comfortable choice in its price range. With spacious rooms, practical amenities, and solid value, it remains a good option for travelers. But with better attention to cleanliness and upgraded support facilities, it could raise its standing even further among Taipei’s mid-range hotels. Check-in reception now moved to 15th floor instead of lobby area.

We booked the hotel at the last minute. Good place to stay. Near MRT station. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room is comfortable and clean. There are only couple minor things that I am not too crazy about: 1.) there is no AC in the elevators 2) no Japanese toilet seat in the bathroom. (I like my Japanese toilet seats.) However, I would recommend the hotel and book it again in the future.
