Taipei Nangang Newly Opened Five-Star Hotel Grand Hi Lai Hotel Taipei

#2024TravelReview Address: Building A, No. 168, Jingmao 1st Road, Nangang District, Taipei City, Taiwan Atmosphere/Facilities: Lobby, parking lot, swimming pool, sauna, gym Features: wedding hall, comfortable rooms, riverside view, smart home appliances Price per person: NT$8,000/day Rating: A newly opened five-star hotel in Nangang Exhibition Hall, facing the Keelung River and Huandong Boulevard. It's some distance from the MRT. There is a parking lot available, so it is recommended to drive. The parking space is OK, and it is easy to park cars below vans. Induction entry, you can enter and exit freely after registering your license plate number when checking in. But every time you go out, you need to go to the self-service payment machine to go through the formalities before you can leave. The lobby is the only place that deserves a negative review, as there are only four chairs for people to sit and rest, while the cafe next to it is a commercial space where you need to consume. If you encounter a large crowd of people checking in or out, you will see many tourists standing in the lobby. In addition, the check-in counter is usually not full so you will need to wait. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait too long this time and the front desk was very considerate and let us check in 2 hours early, otherwise we would have to wait in the lobby until 3 o'clock before we could pull our luggage into the room. Since the hotel is combined with a wedding banquet hall, the hall is overcrowded during peak dining hours. The room is quite spacious, with dry and wet areas separated, a separate toilet and bathtub. The water pressure for bathing is very high and the water temperature is constant, which makes bathing very comfortable. The height of the washbasin is just right for a girl who is 170cm tall. The bed is soft and comfortable, and the TV has smart TV function. The curtains are very light-proof and can be adjusted electrically, and the room offers a view of the Keelung River. By the way, the side rooms are more beautiful but the price is for suite rooms. The price is higher. Xiaomeixi smart butler can adjust the air conditioning and lighting by voice and play music. There are free welcome drinks in the small refrigerator, and the alcohol in the lower row is paid. The capsule coffee machine can be refilled with 4 capsules of each flavor, including the four capsules of the two flavors originally placed in the room, for a total of 12 capsules of the two flavors. Room service has free ice delivered to the room. The sauna is not big but the equipment and supplies are complete. The breakfast is very rich. I thought it was a regular buffet restaurant. I personally think the overall price is not cheap, but the overall experience is comfortable. The location is remote and requires self-driving. It will be more difficult to wait for check-in and check-out when encountering crowds.
