Hotels near KIKI Restaurant (yanjichuangshi) in Taipei

We stayed in the Kirin extension of the hotel, which offers a big balcony with a view of Taipei’s night sky. The extension is quieter compared to the main building and has a Family Mart on the ground level, offering a wide selection of delicious microwaveable ready meals. Not keen to eat in brightly lit and busy restaurants, we decided to have a private meal from Family Mart on the balcony with a city view. All in all, it was very enjoyable stay!

The location is close to Ximen night market (walk less than 5 minutes) but not too close to hear the noise from the market. Staff are super helpful.we leave the luggage at the hotel on date before check in and after check out as our flight is late at night. We get back to pick up the luggage and they kept it next to their counter and we feel secured. The room clean and well function,bathrooms also clean and the water very stable.

The cleanliness of the hotel room is such a disappointment. The bathroom wall grouting & silicon was moldy, and spider webs were in the room. The TV and aircon vent were super dusty. The aircon, even off, was extremely cold. The overall cleanliness is terrible, with noticeable dust accumulating in several areas. It was disappointing and not up to the hygiene standards one would expect from a hotel room. To make matters worse, the cleanliness issues persisted even after the room was supposedly cleaned. The bathroom grouting remained moldy, spider webs lingered, and the attendant neglected to vacuum away the hairs on the floor. The bed has insects, indicating a lack of thorough cleaning. This consistent neglect of hygiene standards throughout my stay was disappointing and unacceptable. This lack of attention to detail further emphasized the subpar cleanliness standards, contributing to an unsatisfactory stay.

The hotel was abit old but the quality of service provided by the staff is excellent. Specifically, their helpfulness in resolving issues such as a faulty lock on luggage and thr 17th floor staff was try their best to comfort guests during an earthquake, even though they were also concerned themselves. Only that the bathroom is abit inconvenience, you have to climb in to the bathtub to bath.

The location is good. It takes 6 minutes to walk to Ximen Station. Because there is no separate shower room, the whole toilet is wet. After showering, it turns into a pond and the water is poor. I stayed for 3 nights on the 7th floor. The wifi could not be connected at all on the first and second nights. I asked multiple times and was told that it had been adjusted, but it only happened on the third night.

City Suites is very responsive through their FB chat regarding requests and questions that you have regarding the hotel and pre-arrival. The location of the hotel is in between Taipei Main Station and Beimen Station. If you have large luggages, do use the entrance/exit nearer to TaoYuan MRT upon arriving at Taipei Main Station. There are escalators and lifts to assist for that entrance/exit. Otherwise you can walk through the underground mall (Taipei City Mall) to Exit Y21, hotel is 3 mins walk away from Y21. Do note that Exit Y21 is a few long flight of stairs. The hotel is 2 bus stops away from Ximending, 10-15mins walk away from NingXia night market and you can walk to many places from the underground Taipei City Mall. A lot of food around the area too! Upon arrival at the hotel, we had to do self check-in with staff on the side to assist us readily. We were given a room on the 3rd floor and with a bathtub. Room looked and felt clean, it's bright and space was decent without being too cramp. Hotel gives bottled water and they have water dispensers for guests to refill. I'm grateful that the TV have many channels to watch. Bed and pillow is pretty comfortable, and there were many hooks on the wall for us to hang up our jacket and clothes. The wall hooks were greart as we could air our clothes and jackets everyday when we're not wearing them! We had issues with the bathroom. Water pressure and temperature was alright, but the shower doors for the bathtub was constantly allowing water to leak onto the floor whenever we showered. Everytime after a shower, the bathroom floor will have a puddle just below the door. It is very dangerous and slippery, and we have to place the bath mat there to soak up the water making the bath mat very soggy. Hopefully the hotel can rectify this issue in the bathroom. Would also prefer this hotel if I could flush toilet paper down the toilet. I wasn't comfortable with the idea of throwing soiled paper into a waste bin due to hygiene (but had to get used to it for many places in Taiwan). WiFi was slow at times but at least I didn't not encounter the WiFi disconnecting from my devices. Staff was helpful when we needed to weigh out luggages and when we needed to discard food trash out from our room. As the hotel is a tall building, but City Suites is only from L1 to L3, do note that the sound insulation for this hotel isn't that good. We could hear cars and trucks passing by at night. Thankfully, Aircon for the room isn't noisy. If you're sensitive to noise, remember to bring earplugs. I won't mind staying at this hotel again if I'm back in Taipei!

Love the location which is at the Ximending area and in front of the subway exit, convenient to roam till late at night. However disappointed upon finding out the room we stay due to the lack of details upon booking. It was advertised as room with window but not able to open. But in fact it is a small window (around 60cm? Width) facing the next building window hence need to close it all the time. Perhaps it would be better to know ahead that this is a room without window or view to avoid disappointment. Bed is firm and size of the room is good. Design of toilet and shower area is good but the choice of tiles could be better to avoid mold which is apparent at the shower area. Breakfast spread is decent and healthier choice kind.

Location is good as near to mrt xiao nan gang station. Near to Carrefour as well. Clean and nice…. My room view can see Taipei 101… Oh ya the hotel is along the green line

Good location near Taipei Station but no window in the room so you can't tell is day or night and the toilet is translucent glass so will be problem for friend or colleagues if share room. Toilet don't have shelve to place toiletries and no mirror in the room for dress up.

Location is superb. The only issue I had was the noise since i got the window bed. I can even listen clearly to the conversation downstairs. Plus the car & motorcycle sound is very loud. Bathroom & toilet is clean. But have to wait for quite some time coz it’s shared with 2 dormitories.
