Hotel Riverview

We want thank 阿偉大哥who drove us西門町，and Ms Ida who attended to our queries so patiently and professionally. 谢谢阿偉大哥和 Miss Ida. We did not take pictures with them.

Spacious room somewhat dated. Staff very helpful also think along about day trips. Typical Chinese breakfast. Very conveniently located in the vicinity of Ximen and other interesting places that are well worth a visit. All in all a very good choice.

Best example of why all via Internet 100% purchased goods & services e.g hotel bookings can legally be cancelled for either a full refund or at least 1st days rate Charge. This hotel, in my opinion, is disgusting!! The reception, elevation to the room, the threadbare carpets, the room stunk like Egyptian mummies were warehouse there for like aeons!. No visible plugs. The light control is so far away from the bed - you need to catch a taxi to go switch off the lights before jumping back to bed. Summarily, tired after a 6,500km flight from Europe, I risked walking away from the circa 400Euros Deposit. Complained to hotel mgmnt & Trip.com - they did nothing. Trip.com needs to dump such out of Alfred Hitchcock movie Hotels. This hotel is the exact opposite of what is shown online. Much respect for the very sympathetic staff @ Reception. Privately, they apologised to & blamed their archaic management executives who think Godzilla is still walking freely around in 2024 - lol. I checked in immediately into Hyatt Hotel for the rest of my stay - bye to being prudent & saving costs. Welcome back to the Ws, Marriott, Hyatt, Hiltons & the Ritz Carltons. Taipei is a great city & and the people are wonderful. Would highly recommend a visit, but please book only globally rated 4-5 star hotels. Asia is pure magic. EnjoY .
