The pillows are the worst, but the overall positive experience cancels this out. @Royal Inn, if you could do something about the pillows, it would make the guest experience much, much better.

The building itself is nondescript, but the hotel is actually located on the 8th floor. Passing through the lower floors, you’ll notice a spa and a bakery/grocery, which felt a bit unusual. But once you reach the 8th floor—what a pleasant surprise! The hotel lobby is modern, and the room has a real wow factor - spacious, clean, with a large bed (actually two double beds combined). The bathroom includes a bathtub. The smoking area, however, is just a makeshift can placed a couple of meters in front of the building. I doubt this is an officially designated smoking area, but the locals use it—so, when in Rome… Overall, an amazing experience!

I have very little criticism of the Royal Inn and I am happy I chose this hotel. The air conditioning could have been a little more powerful but I did visit in a heatwave with daytime temperatures of 32'C. My room was 24"C. I prefer 21 or 22'C and I did adjust the controls accordingly. The hotel is hard to find. Exit Zhongshan MRT and take exit 3. It is only about 100m from there (on that side). Continue walking in the direction of the stairs that you have just climbed. If you reach the Rolex watch dealer you have gone past the entrance but you are still on the correct side. Go back on yourself. There is a small eye level sign to the hotel but it is hard to see. To be honest. Taipei hotels have become expensive. But that is not a criticism of this hotel. Since Covid everything costs so much now.

The breakfast was excellent and I was very pleased to have paid extra for this option. There was a range of SE Asian (my Wife is SE Asian) and Western foods (Me). We were able to eat enough to not require food until our evening visits to the wonderful night markets. Our room was very clean and comfortable and did not feel cramped. The toilet is also lovely with a Toto washlet toilet. I am not going to explain further but I think the world should use them. Staff are very pleasant and polite and always happy to assist you. I find the Taiwanese people to be very nice (it is not my first visit to Taiwan and it is a country that I love). My Wife worked in Taiwan for many years and can speak good Mandarin, however the staff can also speak good English. The hotel is situated between level 8 and 11 of the building but the elevators work well and are frequent. Location is perfect. Very close to Zhongshan line and red and green MRT lines. You can explore Taipei very easily from here

Room was on the smaller side for a family of 4 but comfortable enough.

Location was superb, 2/3 mins walk to the subway exit. It is also near a few malls which offers endless dining options.

The PILLOWS!! Those are the worst pillows I ever slept on.

I like that the room has everything you need. Good water pressure, nice comfy bed, good wardrobe space. The house keeper is very friendly and keeps the room very nice and clean. Cosy and quiet. Super good location. Breakfast is simple and nice.

The self-service laundry - the washer capacity is small around 6.5kg and the dryer takes about 3 hours to dry the clothes completely. However, the hotel lets you use it for free.

Breakfast was good. The rooms are rather big and comfortable. Location is good. The MRT station was just a very short walk from the hotel. There were many other food choices around the hotel and shopping malls opposite it. The hotel does not give bottled water, however, there is a water dispenser at the lift lobby so you can use the water flask in the room to collect water. Great for those who usually consume water.

Hotel is at 8th floor and never felt we checked into hotel. May it’s the first type of hotel we have seen.

Location of the hotel is simply excellent and very close the MRT and makes it very convenient.

The aircon remained cold even though we tried adjusting it. We switched it off eventually.

Located extremely near zhongshan mrt station, or a 15 min walk from Taipei main Station if you're up for it. It's on level 8 of a row of shopping so might be slightly tricky to locate look out for signages overhead. the bed is large and comfy, and the room was spacious. Staff was accommodating and helped me with receiving a parcel, as well as quick to respond when I had an urgent enquiry.

Elevators were slow. Building is definitely older. Shower was too short, I couldn't stand straight up, not to mention try to wash my hair ABOVE my head. Carpet and some corners were old, dated or showed stains.

Service was exceptional. Staff were super nice and polite and helpful. Location was good. Rooms were cozy in size but sufficient. Modern styling and generally clean in the bathroom areas. Hot/warm/cold water dispensers on every floor and lounge area on lobby floor serving tea, coffee, and ice all day to relax outside of the room.

The entrance of the building looks like a service elevator, as royal inn starts from 8th floor to 11th floor. Breakfast is basic and lacks variety if u eat if for more than 3 days.

I liked that it is near malls and train station and bus stops.
