Hotels Near Raohe St. Night Market in Taipei

We had 6 people total so had two rooms and one room was in the newly built part of the building and the other one was in the old building. Room in the new building is much cleaner and lights are brighter. Room in old building lights are much deemer and bathroom is too old. No bottle of water, they provide water dispencer in every floor. Worst soap I ever smelled in any of the hotels. The receptionist who checked us in was very unclear with her question because we had two rooms and originally booked one family room with one king bed and 2 single beds and other room with a king bed. She asked whether 2 beds are ok and I thought she meant for the king bed as she finished with a sentence saying the king bedroom needs to be checked in later. So when we went up to the family room, I see 2 beds instead of my original request, went down to ask why and she gave me an attitude saying “didnt I ask whether 2 beds are ok” I was actually shocked with the way she approached me, did not try to clarify in a nice manner. Sorry but never going back. The photo is for the room in new building. Even if the room (new building) is clean if the service is bad, I never want to go back.

I can't say enough good things about this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional—staff were friendly and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms are not only spacious but also beautifully decorated, making it a really comfortable place to relax after a long day. The location is fantastic, with easy access to shopping and local attractions, which made exploring the area a breeze. And let’s talk about breakfast—absolutely delicious! There’s a great variety of options, and everything I tried was fresh and flavorful. Every stay here feels special, and I truly appreciate the attention to detail. I’m already looking forward to my next visit and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a wonderful experience!

Great place to stay. Room deco is simple but with touches of quiet elegance. Design and layout are very user friendly with everything neat and in the right place. Location is convenient with the subway and a little food street nearby. Room cleaning is carried out on alternate days which is eco conscious and suits me well.

Grand Hotel Taipei – A Stay with a View & Secrets Beneath Staying at Grand Hotel Taipei is more than just luxury—it’s an experience. The grand architecture, stunning city views, and peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect retreat. But the real surprise? A hidden tunnel beneath the hotel, originally built as an escape route for Chiang Kai-shek. For a small fee, you can explore this secret passage, adding a touch of mystery to your stay. Combine that with sunrise views of Taipei 101 from the balcony, and it’s a stay worth remembering. #GrandHotelTaipei #HiddenTunnels #Taipei101 #TravelTaiwan

Location is superb! Room is spacious and clean. We were upgraded to twin double bed room! We truly have a comfortable 2 nights stay!

It’s a bit difficult to find the hotel because it’s located in the high book building. The noise insulation is poor. You can easily hear people next door talking. Some residents also speak loudly in the corridor and constantly bang the doors. These are all uncontrollable but I can’t believe I heard the staff playing music loudly while cleaning other rooms. The hotel itself is noisy enough. Really disappointing. The upside is it provides clean drinking water so I don’t have to buy bottled water.

Hotel and Location was nice . Just found out though that they dont provide toothbrush and toothpaste anymore - so bring your own. Bottled water is only provided on first day but you can refill on their water dispenser . Disregard photo

Hotel accessible by exits 2 and 3 of Ximen Stn. Exit 3 has escalator. 7-11 right next door. Breakfast as I heard from staff is in partnership with a restaurant on level 1. Not managed by the hotel. Did not try as my booking didn't include free breakfast though given the price point other hotels in the vicinity would probably come with breakfast. Rooms are bright and of good size. Check-in was quick and staff were friendly. Toiletries provided at lobby.

At checkin, room was smelling of rotten milk, and it was very cold (18 Celsius). I asked the front desk to change room, they said no, they don’t have any rooms available (there are maybe 100 rooms on my floor alone…) When I told them it’s too cold, they said I should turn off the AC. I said it’s off, they said it must not be, they “advise” me to check again. I checked 3 times, turned it on and off. The front then said they will give me an extra blanket… not once did anyone come to the room to check the smell or AC themselves. Also, they don’t have heating at all, so I had to warm the room with my body temperature only… ***. At night the pipes make noises, and the smell never went away. They also charge to store your luggage. Very disappointed by the hotel cleanliness and service. It was so unaccommodating. They told me it’s a basement room, so the smell is normal. ***… Room has mirrors in the ceiling. I think it’s love hotel.
