Reviews of Royal Inn Taipei Nanxi - MRT Zhongshan Station 3 stars

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!

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.

Location location location.

Not enough storage spaces.

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

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.

Super clean. Looked fancy. 2 year old thoroughly enjoyed

Can't think of any

Close to MRT with department store across the road. Lots of food places and convenient store near by. Not far from night market. Has computer available for use.

TV not many channels. Bathtub ceiling low can not stand up. Shower head not strong.

Clean n modern

Dirty windows

Location and room design.

Ugly and small entrance, very poor Wifi, old flat clunky and grainy TV.

Very convenient location.

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

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

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

in the heart of Zhongshan stn many shops and restaurants .MRT exit 4 has escalator 100 m from exit 3 is which is the near but sharpe stair .one stop from Taipei main.breakfast is varity. my friend make a stain at the towel on the frist time (her eye liner)they just warning and the second time ( unconscious from her hair color on the pillow sheet). hotel want to charge 500 TW, I want to pay 250 TW which they approved. but finally they don't charge any money which is very impressive.

Good location

Not really clean , the water quality is bad. Many black stuff come out from the shower head. And there is a metal pole stand next to the bed, staff replied as this is required by law.

Amazing location. Very functional, no frills room.

Staff weren’t overly polite / friendly.
