Elegance Hotel

I booked rooms for my customer staying 2 nights there. They complained that the beds are very small (or maybe my customer is fat, haha). It is very near Xihu station. There are some convenient stores there.

Elegance Hotel is a small boutique hotel in Taipei and within 1 block of the train station. Small, clean and nicely furnished rooms at a very reasonable price. They say you get breakfast with your room, and you do but it is from McDonalds. So not really much of a breakfast. But at ~$100 US per night who cares. Go out and eat some real food. It is not a super fancy hotel but given its location, cleanliness and helpful staff, highly recommended for that part of town.

Not a big hotel, stayed here for 3 nights paid for 4 off-season as the hotel had very few guests, my flight into Taipei arrived 5 am so I wanted to check in early, had to pay an extra night even though I dropped off my case and left in 30 min. This is a hotel in the commerce area of city, Taiwan Electric offices nearby, but there is lots of shops and restuarents within 2 min. walk. The rapid transit system is about a 5 min. walk and you can go just about anywhere in the city quick and cheap, signs are in Taiwanese and English. The hotel staff speak very little English but they will try and do their best to get you whatever you need. Breakfast is an egg McMuffin and coffee delivered to your room at whatever time you ask. My room was on the side no view, except a building wall 4'ft away. Even though this hotel is on a busy road the rooms are quiet, small lobby business center "free to guests" with interent, I would stay here again.
