CityInn Hotel Plus - Ximending Branch

Hotel is centrally located at Ximen metro station. There are 2 exits namely exit 3 and 4 to reach the hotel. With its strategic location, plenty of tourist attractions are within reach by metro. Though the hotel has no restaurants (hence no breakfast), there are 2 eateries diagonally opposite or just beside the hotel each selling taiwanese food such as dumpling noodles and meatball soup respectively. Nearby, there are 2 bakeries (which we bought bread from for breakfast) and 1 shop specialising in authentic almond soya milk. I particularly love the free laundry service in the hotel. At B1 of the hotel, there are 3 washing machines and 3 dryers for DIY. Free washing powder, baskets for soiled clothes, and plastic bags for clean washed clothes are readily available for personal use. There is also an electric vertical steam iron. Have made use of this free service throughout the stay. Hence, no need to do laundry back home and more free time to unwind after trip. My family loves the spacious common area (at B1 of the hotel) aka dry pantry for dining-in too. There are 2 microwave ovens for heating up packed food. Free beverages such as americano and water are provided via coffee bars and water dispenser. Hotel guests are welcome to take the free taiwanese snacks at the pantry. The friendly staff top up coffee beans regularly and they also maintain the area very well. There are charging ports too. While waiting for your laundry, you can take your meals, charge your phone or simply chill and relax. Between 10pm-12mn daily, they will leave instant noodle bowls at the reception counter for you to take. Near the reception, there are coffee bars, water dispenser and washrooms.

I've stayed in a lot of hotels over the years but this has to be by far, the most well equipped hotel. They don't have all the fancy facilities, but what it does have is everything else you need. We stayed there as a family of 4 so we needed 2 room. The rooms aren't tiny but they give you just enough space. One room had a big bath/shower but the other did not. It's all the small touches for me- the house keeping adding the cable ties to your cables, the free cup of noodles they offer at after 10pm if you feeling a bit peakish, the free laundry service (wash and dryer) and the use of the steam iron was incredibly appreciated after weeks of travelling, the communal kitchen with some free light drinks and snacks and a dining area for you to eat your meals. The location was perfect, a minute walk into the heart of Taipei. The TV even had great movies on show! Such great value for money and ticks all the boxes.

the location is near enough to Ximending but with a bit of distance of 'peace'. the room was clean and sheets and amenities nicely provided. i also like the additional touch of a handwritten note on some of the night markets recommendations by the hotel. They also provide preorder delivery for basic souvenirs like pineapple pastry and tai yang bing. On the day of checkout i noticed there's also the preorder of the famous Fu Hang soymilk too! Surely to try when i next check in with them.

The location was great. Staff were very helpful.

Staff are fantastic. They give you the feeling of being very welcome. You get free coffee, free drinks and free snacks every day. Coffee machine works 24/7. In the basement, there is a lobby where you can hang out, cook, and do your laundry including ironing. here is a convenience store right next to the hotel with plenty meal kits. If you walk about 5 minutes, there is a store where you can get fresh pressed juice very cheap. And chains like Subway or Starbucks. Also, you are right next to XIMEN station and the city - fantastic shopping district, similar to Meyong Dong in Seoul. With the Metro, you can get anywhere fast and its only 25 minutes from the airport. Bathroom is huge, bed is comfy... would def. book again!
