🚆 2. High-speed rail (HSR) tickets sell fast
Taiwan’s HSR is incredibly convenient, but holiday weeks are jam-packed.
Reserve online the moment booking opens (usually 28 days ahead).
🍜 3. Some shops close during Lunar New Year
Unlike Malaysia, where most stores reopen quickly, Taiwan’s small businesses may close 2–5 days.
Large malls, convenience stores, and major chains stay open.
🚴 4. Expect more domestic tourists in nature spots
Taiwanese love:
- Sun Moon Lake
- Alishan
- Jiufen
- Kenting
- Hualien/Taroko
During holidays, these spots experience significant local tourist traffic.
🀄 5. Festivals = beautiful photos
Holidays bring:
- Lantern displays
- Outdoor markets
- Cultural shows
- Fireworks
If you love photography, these dates are golden.
🍍 6. Malaysian-friendly food everywhere
Taiwanese cuisine suits Malaysian taste buds:
braised pork rice, scallion pancakes, bubble tea, pepper buns, oyster mee sua.
Even Muslim-friendly restaurants are becoming more common.
Taiwan in 2026 offers plenty of opportunities for Malaysians to enjoy long weekends, cultural festivals, and scenic travel — as long as you plan ahead. Use the leave hacks above, book early, and time your trip around your favorite festival vibes.

The location of the hotel is excellent . The airport bus stop just Infront of the hotel and if those who wish to go to Jiufen, the bus stop is just 100m away . Da an mrt station is just 10 mins walk away .
Breakfast was excellent . It’s cheaper to book room include breakfast . We stayed for our breakfast from 0800-1030 hours !
The only setback was we were not allowed to extend our checkout time by 1 hour as the receptionist claimed the hotel fully booked for the day but however if we wish to extend, we can but have to pay !DariSAR 537

Taipei Railway Station Area Taipei|2.23km dari pusat bandar
We recently stayed at the Dinosaur Kingdom Family Room and transferred to a Premier Twin Room the following day. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The staff were consistently kind, helpful, and accommodating, which we truly appreciated.
We especially enjoyed the family room—it was thoughtfully designed and perfect for traveling with a young child. I had initially planned for a two-night stay in this room, but unfortunately, renovations were scheduled to begin the following day. This was a bit disappointing, as it made our time there feel quite short, especially with other activities already planned during our trip.
In comparison to other five-star hotels we’ve stayed in, I did find the lack of flexibility with early check-in a bit surprising, particularly for the themed room. We had hoped to settle in earlier, and similarly, the following day’s transfer to the Premier room was not available early as it was fully booked. While this was different from what I’m used to, I do understand that this may be part of their standard protocol.
On a positive note, we loved the buffet, and the rooms were very comfortable. The complimentary drinks were a nice touch, and the playroom area was excellent—clearly designed with families in mind. It was also lovely to see the hotel organizing activities for children. During our stay, there was a special event (like a children’s appreciation day?), where me and my baby were able to participate in arts and crafts and even received small prizes, which made the experience extra memorable.
The swimming pool was decent, though not very large, and the water was quite cold, so we ended up enjoying the bathtub instead.
One area for improvement would be cleanliness. We noticed visible dust in the room, which was concerning—especially since the room is designed for small children, and for someone like me who is diagnosed with allergies to multiple types of dust mites. I did raise this with Lara at the lobby, who kindly apologized and mentioned she would inform housekeeping. However, upon transferring rooms the next day, I still noticed dust in certain areas, which made me question the thoroughness of the cleaning.
Separately, I also observed that some toiletries (such as conditioner and lotion) were nearly empty upon arrival, suggesting they may not have been checked or replenished prior to our stay.
Despite these points, we genuinely had a pleasant experience overall and would consider returning. I’m also excited and curious to see what the next theme for the family rooms will be after the renovations.DariSAR 802

Value for money hotel, but I was amazed that the terrible lift situation was not mentioned more. They had only TWO lifts to service 13 floors worth of travellers, and I spent around 5-10 minutes each instance either queuing for the lift to go to my room, or waiting for a lift to come down. Really ridiculous waste of time, but other than that, hotel was alright.
Oh by the way, the hotel does not provide toothbrushes and toothpaste; they will direct you to purchase it from a vending machine.DariSAR 246

Room was big enough for 2 person and 2 small luggage, there’s even a sofa for me to lie down.
There was a small onsen like tub which was amazing although it was slightly stained with mold around the grouting (I used hot water to clean it then used the tub). Bed was comfortable!
Gym was alright, there’s a smith machine, weights, treadmills. Not very big and was actually slightly warm as it was summer when I went.
Service was fairly good. I sprained my ankle and they were very happy to provide ice, towel and pillow.
Plus points that we really like was they had free snack bar beside their hotel! Can try many different sweets, biscuits and jelly.
There’s a big carrefour nearby too!

The hotel is located near to the Zhongxiao Dunhua station (exit 3) and walking distance from Ming Yao Department Store, Taipei Dome, Songshan Cultural and Creative Park and National Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. There are also many convenience stores within the vicinity and famous donut stores nearby. During our stay, we travelled by foot from the hotel to Pokemon Center Taipei, Taipei 101 and even to Linjiang Night Market.
The room is spacious. There are bathtub and shower in our room, but due to the law in Taiwan, please prepare your own toothbrush and toothpaste. There are also luggage weighing machine and coin-laundry machines in a small room on the floor where they serve breakfast. While not to expect a widespread of choices, I think their breakfast selection is a decent combination of local dishes and western options. Special mention that their pineapples are very sweet!
If you are interested, you may also check out over the counter on the selection of local products that can be ordered and delivered to the hotel. It may save you trouble to locate some of the famous brands in Taipei.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Green World Zhongxiao.DariSAR 232

Shilin Night Market Taipei|4.49km dari pusat bandar
The biggest highlight of our Taiwan trip, hands down. The Grand Hotel is truly one of the best hotels in Greater China.
As soon as we got out of the taxi, someone was there to greet us and help with our luggage, allowing us to go straight to check-in. I booked a room in the side wing. After taking the shuttle bus to the side wing, the only minor drawback was having to walk up a few steps, but it wasn't a big issue. From the room, you could see Songshan Airport and the Taipei city skyline. If you went up to the public areas on higher floors, you could catch the Taipei sunset.
The public areas were outstanding. Taking photos late at night, there was hardly anyone around. Walking through the grand and majestic lobby felt like an coronation.
Room size was also quite generous, and the hygiene was impeccable. The linens were spotlessly clean.
The service was very comprehensive and attentive, though perhaps lacking a bit of warmth.
The biggest issue, however, was transportation. For budget travelers, relying on the MRT is key, and getting from The Grand Hotel to the MRT station required waiting for a shuttle bus. However, there were also taxis available right outside the hotel, and Taipei's taxi fares are quite reasonable, so it was acceptable overall. All in all, an excellent experience.DariSAR 355

Hotel staff got my booking wrong and assigned me a wrong room category. The initial room was noisy and I could hear construction noise from the site opposite the hotel despite being up on the 18th floor. Soundproofing is rather poor as I can occasionally hear people's conversations as they walk along the corridor.
The lounge was a nice touch though the food offerings especially during the afternoon tea and breakfast service could be better. Service in the club lounge was generally good but could be slower during busy times.
Location of the hotel was good being minutes from the shopping and dining area.DariSAR 607

We just returned to the Philippines after a wonderful 10-day stay at Finders Hotel Qufian, and we truly couldn’t be happier with our experience. We came in not expecting much, but this hotel completely exceeded our expectations. The staff were consistently friendly, helpful, and made both check-in and check-out smooth and easy.
From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. We absolutely loved the ambience of the hotel, everything was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, especially for families. Traveling with a child can sometimes be challenging, but this place had everything we needed.
The kids’ playroom was a highlight, our daughter loved it so much and genuinely enjoyed every moment of our stay. The room, while not very large, was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The temperature and heating were just right, making it very relaxing after long days of exploring.
The bed is more of a typical Asian-style mattress (not super soft), but it was perfectly fine for us and didn’t affect our comfort.
Breakfast was consistently excellent. We especially enjoyed the Chinese cuisine selection, and the unlimited beverages, coffee, snacks, and even noodles were such a thoughtful touch, perfect for those late-night cravings!
The WiFi was fast and reliable, which was important for me as I had online meetings and even did some Netflix streaming without any issues.
Location-wise, it’s fantastic, close to many of Taipei’s must-see attractions like Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, National Taiwan Museum, and 228 Peace Memorial Park (which we absolutely loved). It’s also conveniently near NTU Hospital Station, making it easy to get around the city. This is a hotel I would highly recommend, especially for families traveling with kids. In fact, I’ve already recommended it to friends!
We will definitely be booking here again on our next trip to Taiwan.DariSAR 143

1. Misleading Entrance Signage
Upon arrival, we followed the signage pasted on a pillar that directed guests to a staircase entrance. However, when we reached that entrance, we were shocked to find the door marked with the sign “来宾止步” (“Guests Stop Here”). When we raised this with your staff, we were told that this entrance has not been in use since the COVID-19 period. While we understand that certain operations may have changed during the pandemic, COVID-19 restrictions have ended for more than two years. If the primary entrance has been permanently closed, why has no corrective action been taken and the misleading signage still left there? Carrying heavy luggage up and down a sloped path unnecessarily was frustrating and avoidable.
2. No Staff Assistance or Clear Signage at the New Entrance
When we finally located the new entrance, there were no staff members on standby to assist us, nor was there any clear external signage indicating that this was the correct way to access the lobby. The explanation given later was that all staff were away assisting with parking which is not acceptable. At least one person should have been assigned to remain at the entrance, or the last person leaving should have arranged for another colleague to cover the position. In addition, the Operations Director mentioned that there is signage inside the new entrance directing guests to take the elevator to the lobby. However, this logic is flawed. If guests cannot locate the correct entrance in the first place, how could they possibly see a sign placed inside?
3. Poorly Trained and Unprofessional Front Desk Behavior
After struggling outside, we called the number listed on Google. Only then did someone finally come out and lead us in. By that time, we were exhausted and upset. When we confronted the front desk staff about why they ignored us, despite us clearly visible outside the “来宾止步” glass door, making eye contact and knocking for help, but they claimed they “did not see us.” This excuse was clearly untrue, as we observed them looking in our direction. Even more disappointing, none of the front desk staff offered an apology even until we requested to speak to the Operations Director and asked him to review the CCTV footage. After reviewing the footage, the Operations Director confirmed that the front desk had not been alert and apologized on their behalf. However, he did not acknowledge that the front desk’s attitude and lack of sincerity were also serious problems. Being “not alert enough” and showing no sense of apology or empathy are two entirely different issues.
As an international hotel, the front desk is the first impression of your service. Regardless of the quality of your facilities, this poor experience completely overshadowed the positive aspects of our stay. It also severely damages the reputation of Kagaya Group — a brand that has long been admired for its exemplary Japanese hospitality and politeness. Although we appreciate the Operations Director’s effort to make amends by offering us a meal and gifts (which we declined), it remains undeniable that this incident reflects a failure in staff training and management oversight.
We hope that management will seriously review this incident, especially the issues of:
- Inadequate and misleading signage at the entrance
- Lack of staff presence and assistance upon guest arrival
- Poor front desk awareness and unprofessional behavior
We trust that Kagaya Group will uphold its proud tradition of service by addressing these problems promptly and ensuring no other guests experience such treatment in the future.
Thank you for your attention.DariSAR 942

Ximending Commercial Area Taipei|3.39km dari pusat bandar
This is my second time staying here, and the front desk staff are just as friendly and provide excellent service as before. I really love ********* culture! 🥰🥰 I'm very satisfied with my stay; they even upgraded our room, which made me really happy! 🥰 The lobby environment is consistently great, and it's very suitable for families with children. The location is super convenient too – there's a FamilyMart and 7-Eleven downstairs, as well as a foot massage place. Just a 3-minute walk from the hotel, you'll find a Sanrio-themed 7-Eleven, and right opposite that is the entrance to Ximen Underground Street. It's only a 9-minute walk to Ximending 'TAIPEI' - Rainbow Six. 🤩 Getting around by subway is also very convenient! 👍🏻👍🏻DariSAR 212

The hotel is located near Taipei Main Station, but whatever you do, do NOT take the Z8 exit from the underground street to get there. It's stairs only, no elevator, and I had two pieces of luggage plus a stroller to carry by myself – it was incredibly inconvenient.
It's about a 20-minute walk to Ningxia Night Market and Ximending.DariSAR 255

Taipei Railway Station Area Taipei|3.08km dari pusat bandar
We stayed for 3 nights with 2 adults and 1 toddler, including breakfast.
Pros:
Excellent location: Direct access from Exit Z8 of Taipei Main Station's underground shopping mall.
All hotel facilities are on the 4th floor, except for the breakfast area: a play area for toddlers, a dedicated play zone for children, and complimentary snacks from 2 PM to 4 PM (redeemable with room key). Bottled water is available for self-service all day.
Reasonable room size: Plenty of space to move around even after unpacking.
Responsive staff: Provided reasonable assistance promptly.
Breakfast on the 37th floor: Tables are well-spaced, offering great views. Some dishes vary daily, including tea eggs and ********* sausages with chicken drumsticks.
Areas for improvement:
Exit Z8 is convenient but has no elevator. You'd need to go out one block earlier for elevator access.
To get from the room to breakfast on the 37th floor, you need to change elevators.
The hotel doesn't proactively clean the room, but you can request trash disposal and towel changes.DariSAR 286

The staff were incredibly welcoming. As soon as I entered the room, I could feel the hotel's thoughtful and cozy decor. The private hot spring bath was huge and even had a cold spring water pool, which was perfect for a refreshing rinse after a soak. The mini-bar in the room had a great variety of drinks. In the afternoon, they delivered complimentary fruit and snacks, and in the evening, there was even plum wine for a nightcap – absolutely fantastic! I stayed for two nights and got to enjoy two different breakfasts, both Chinese and Western set meals, which were incredibly rich, refined, and delicious.DariSAR 1,227

The spring bath inside the room is a bonus, very relaxing and no need to go through the hassle of being naked in public bath. The spring water bath made my skin smooth and soft. The hotel also has public bath and will offer 2 free entries during our one night stay.

I was truly blown away by my stay at the Humble House Taipei, Curio Collection by Hilton! Giving it a 5-star rating feels like an understatement. 💯
📍 **[Amazing Location]**
The transportation is incredibly convenient, right in the heart of a bustling area. Exploring and enjoying food and drinks couldn't be better! The city views from the window are also stunning – every photo looks like it's from a magazine. 🏙️
🌟 **[Surprising Details]**
Even though it's an established hotel that's been open for over a decade, the facilities are maintained as if they were brand new! From the lobby to the rooms, you can feel the designer's thoughtful touches everywhere. You'll want to take pictures constantly! The amenities are also high-quality – truly befitting a five-star hotel!
💁 **[Excellent Service]**
The staff are incredibly attentive and quickly resolve any issues. We even received welcome drinks upon check-in, which instantly made us feel valued and special!
📌 **[Practical Tips]**
1. Definitely choose a high-floor room – the night view is absolutely breathtaking!
2. The bedding is super comfortable; even light sleepers can fall asleep instantly.
3. Although it's an older hotel, the facilities aren't outdated. Stay with confidence!
4. There are tons of great food options nearby, so I recommend coming hungry! haha
All in all, I highly recommend this place! The value for money is exceptional, and I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Taipei! 🥰

The room facilities were well-maintained, and the front desk service was excellent. The hotel's location is superb, with convenient transportation. However, the deposit issue has been a hassle. It's been three weeks since I returned home, and more than 15 business days have passed, but the deposit still hasn't been refunded! I've contacted the hotel twice and my bank, but it's still unresolved! Usually, deposits are refunded instantly upon checkout.

We got the twin room which was great because it had a window overlooking the street (our friends got the single bed room which had no windows/view). Breakfast buffet was decent and complete.

The nearby Omakase resto was amazing.

Overall, the stay was satisfying. The room quality, cleanliness, service attitude, and the delicate Japanese hospitality all demonstrated the standard expected of a five-star hotel.
The only minor letdown was the somewhat underwhelming food selection in the executive lounge. During my stay, it was largely the same few dishes, lacking variety. The quality and sophistication didn't quite reflect the value expected of an executive floor, and it felt a bit perfunctory, missing any standout highlights.
As an executive lounge in a five-star hotel, I believe that an improvement in dish rotation, ingredient quality, and plating details would enhance the guest experience and better meet guests' expectations for an executive lounge. Overall, it's still a quality hotel worth revisiting, and I look forward to seeing further improvements in the executive lounge in the future.DariSAR 572

After checking out and heading to the airport for a late-night flight, I realized upon arriving at the airport that I had accidentally left my passport inside the safety deposit box in my room at Hotel Éclat Taipei. I immediately called the hotel and the staff responded right away by checking the safe and confirmed that my passport had been found.
The team was incredibly responsive and worked hard to arrange a way to get the passport to me before my flight. While they were trying to coordinate the delivery, the hotel's General Manager, Ms. Amy Yu, personally stepped in to help. She even came to the airport herself and, despite the urgency of the situation, when I asked how I should pay her back in return, she calmly reassured me not to worry about that at the moment and instead asked me to focus on getting through immigration and making my flight on time.
I was deeply touched by her kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. She showed a level of empathy and dedication that is increasingly rare in today's hospitality industry. The staff and management did not have to go to such lengths to help me, but they did, and thanks to them I was able to retrieve my passport and continue my journey without disaster.
Beyond this unforgettable experience, the hotel itself is fantastic. The property has a unique artistic character, beautifully combining art, design, and luxury. It has a warm, creative atmosphere that makes it stand out from many other high-end hotels. Most importantly, it has something that cannot be easily taught or bought. The human touch, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality of the people here made all the difference.
Having stayed at several hotels in Taiwan, I can honestly say that Hotel Éclat Taipei stands out for its responsiveness and sincere care for its guests. My heartfelt thanks to Amy Yu and the entire team. I would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Taipei.DariSAR 371

Unfortunately I got a little surprised about my stay.
The room was really small Wich meant there were no bathroom in the room so if I had to go to the bathroom I had to wake everyone up since I left the room and came back.
The beds were really close to each other so not much privacy. And not convient when you had to shower.
The plus side was the price, when I booked it was the cheapest option, and the location. Easy to get everywhere I needed.DariSAR 70
