I used the MRT to:

  • Sip bubble tea in Ximending 🍹
  • Catch sunsets at Tamsui Old Street 🌅
  • Soak in hot springs at Beitou ♨️
  • Zoom straight from Taoyuan Airport to Taipei (no traffic jam, syokkk!)
  • Chill by the beach in Kaohsiung’s Sizihwan Bay 🏖️

And the best part? MRT rides are super clean, affordable, and tourist-friendly. Plus, I could pay with just one EasyCard that works across most cities!

🏙️ Introduction to the Taiwan MRT

The Taiwan MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) is mainly based in Taipei and Kaohsiung, and it’s honestly one of the easiest ways to explore the cities.

In Taipei, it’s like a well-connected underground network that takes you everywhere – from the trendy streets of Ximending, to the beautiful Taipei 101, to the cultural treasures in Beitou and Tamsui. 🏯🌉

It’s super tourist-friendly with:

  • English signage
  • Voice announcements
  • Clean stations
  • Friendly locals who don’t mind pointing you in the right direction

If you’ve used the MRT in Singapore, you’ll feel right at home here (but colder, because aircon everywhere ❄️).

The hotel has a direct airport shuttle. Its location is good; although it's about a 6-minute walk to the MRT station, it's still quite convenient.

As a loyal customer who stays at the Sheraton Taipei every month, I understand that the government's environmental policy means they no longer provide bottled water (though there's a water dispenser in the room that you have to fill yourself) or disposable amenities (no toothbrushes or toothpaste). However, as a consumer, aren't these basic necessities when you're paying for a stay?

I really enjoyed my stay at Caesar Metro Taipei and would definitely stay here again on my next trip. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable, and it was always nice coming back to the hotel after a long day out. The bed was comfortable too, and overall the room felt like a proper place to rest and recharge. The location was also very convenient for getting around Taipei, with the train station nearby and plenty of food options around the area. Despite being in a busy part of the city, the hotel itself felt comfortable and relaxing. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and everything was generally very fuss-free. I especially appreciated the comfort of the hotel after some very long days during this trip. Overall, a really pleasant stay and easily one of the hotels I would return to when I’m back in Taipei. 😊

Linjiang Night Market Taipei|1.76km dari pusat bandar
Some hotels give you a room. Shangri-La Far Eastern, Taipei gave us a base for a trip we'll talk about for years. From the moment we walked in, the place felt considered, elegant without being cold, warm without losing its polish. That balance is rare, and it set the tone for everything that followed. Traveling with kids changes what matters most in a stay, and this hotel understood that instinctively. My children felt safe here, genuinely safe, the kind of safe that let them run ahead in the lobby and laugh without me flinching. Security throughout the property was excellent, present but never intrusive, the kind of quiet competence that lets a family actually relax instead of staying on guard. The location did the rest. Close enough to walk to some of Taipei's best food, the kind of meals that turn into stories you tell later, and near enough to the city's main sites that our days felt full without ever feeling rushed. Every outing started and ended easily, which meant more time enjoying Taipei and less time managing logistics. Back at the hotel each evening, the rooms were spacious, immaculate, and quietly luxurious, the kind of space that makes you want to slow down. Staff treated our kids with the same warmth and respect they showed us, which matters more than most hotels realize. This wasn't just a comfortable stay. It was a beautiful one, the kind that makes you rethink what a family trip can feel like when everything, safety, comfort, location, care, comes together the way it should. We left grateful, and we'll be back.

We got a room upgrade upon check-in with a fantastic view—we could watch the planes landing right from the balcony. While waiting for our room to be ready, we took the guided tour of the West Secret Passage just in time. We tried three restaurants this trip, and the breakfast was the absolute standout with its amazing quality. You can even take away the red bean pastry directly. We had dinner at Dragon Court and also reserved a table at Rice & Wheat, where the rice was particularly flavorful. Although the hotel has been around for a while, the overall stay was wonderful and highly recommended. If you want to take photos in the lobby without the crowds, I'd suggest going in the evening or early in the morning.

A heritage ”old money” hotel in Taipei with an extremely high occupancy rate. It was my first time getting actual physical keys instead of a key card, which felt very textured and classy. There are quite a few Japanese and Korean guests. You do have to queue a bit for breakfast, but the seating is very well-organized. The breakfast spread is abundant, though not mind-blowing—just about standard five-star quality. Having high expectations made it slightly underwhelming. We stayed on the 11th floor in an even-numbered room with a view of Taipei 101, while the odd-numbered room next door had no view. The bedding was very comfortable, and the room was clean and tidy. The hotel service was good, allowing us to extend our check-out to 12 PM. The bath amenities, from their in-house spa brand, seemed to be replaced per guest, but the texture and scent were just average. When I asked, I was told they are for in-room use only and cannot be taken home. Since non-take-home amenities are usually wall-mounted, these came in disposable plastic bottles, which is why I asked. Honestly, making them smaller bottles that guests could take home would feel much more practical. The room's minibar is charged, and movie channels on the TV also incur a fee—my parents accidentally clicked on one and were charged 400 NTD, so do keep an eye on that. We specifically went up to check out the rooftop pool, but the surrounding walls are quite high, so you can't really see the night view. The gym and sauna are on the basement level, but the sauna was closed for maintenance.

Location is fabulous! Close to everything, the shops, the lift in the hotel goes straight down to Taipei Station MRT, Airport Express, train station. The room is a bit dated & old fashioned. There are no amenities at all, luckily there is an 24-7 convenient store right next to the hotel front entrance. The power sockets within the desk are absolutely atrocious, unable to plug anything into those sockets, they are really small and wont fit any travel plug adopters. But WiFi is very good! TV is smart TV but you need to log in with your own Netflix etc.

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.

I found Hotel Papa Whske whilst walking through ximending district. My intention to get a hotel near the area was met when I found it. The location is nearby the shopping center and MTR Taipei main station. The location is the highlight of this destination. Although, the experience of my stay was under my expectation. The interactions I had with staff were below par. They didn’t cater to welcome me into their hotel. After one night I was ready to leave the place. The room had amenities that could satisfy a stay. The design of the room is not practical for use. (For example:a hard metal chair at the desk with cut pieces from it is the most uncomfortable and loud article of furniture. ) Lastly, the breakfast offer has little to none vegetarian options (worth supplementing a healthy meal). One morning the taro buns label was on a stack of buns filled with meat.. so there isn’t enough care to identify their food. I don’t stay again, nor will I recommended this.

Here is a 300-word review you can paste into the Trip.Best survey for ILLUME TAIPEI. It covers hotel highlights, tips, and suggestions naturally. I had a pleasant stay at ILLUME TAIPEI and overall it was a good experience. The hotel is in a very convenient location, close to Taipei Arena MRT station, restaurants, convenience stores, shopping malls, and supermarkets. It is easy to travel around Taipei by MRT or Uber, making it a great base for both business and leisure trips. The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The bed was comfortable, and the Wi-Fi connection was stable throughout my stay. I also liked the gym and swimming pool facilities, which were well maintained. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful whenever I had questions. A useful tip for future guests is that Taiwan has reduced the use of disposable amenities for environmental reasons. Bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, comb, and other personal toiletries, as they may not be provided in the room. There are plenty of convenience stores nearby if you need to buy anything. There are many good food options within walking distance, including local ********* restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and night market snacks. Taipei Arena and nearby shopping areas are also worth visiting, especially in the evening. One issue I noticed was that the bathroom or toilet had a slight unpleasant smell at times. It would be great if the hotel could improve ventilation or perform more frequent maintenance to eliminate the odor. Everything else in the room was satisfactory. For Trip.Best, I think hotel rankings would be even more helpful if they included verified guest comments about cleanliness, noise level, bathroom condition, nearby transportation, and whether disposable amenities are provided. More accurate information about hotel promotions, nearby attractions, and special packages would also improve the booking experience. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at ILLUME TAIPEI and would consider staying here again because of its excellent location, comfortable rooms, and friendly service.

Pros: Big room and great location right next to public transit and ximending. Hotel lobby and dining looks nice and clean. Cons: carpets in hallways have really old, huge stains. We found a cockroach in our room around midnight crawling by the vents on the ceiling. We couldn't reach it so we tried to call reception and the phone was busy for a good while. We finally went down in person to ask for some help and they said they would send someone in 10 minutes. Half an hour later we checked in again and just asked for a new room at this point since the roach had crawled into the vents and we didn't know when it would come out again. They finally sent someone to our room while we were packing and sprayed the room with a liquid that supposedly kills roaches. He targeted the vents where we last saw the roach, and a few minutes later the roach came crawling back out. Luckily our guy was still in the room and he caught it for us. We decided not to change rooms since we were leaving soon anyway. Who knows if the roach had a family up in the vents or not. Hotel did not check on us or ask about our experience during checkout.

The location of this hotel is perfect, situated right next to 101. A short walk across the footbridge and you have access to a number of restaurants and food court. The room itself is sufficient but a bit old and dated. The lobby is big and full of people, almost like a tourist attraction. With the doors constantly opening and closing, any cold air tends to escaping resulting in quite a warm and uncomfortable lobby.

I have visited Taiwan four times, and each time I have chosen to stay at City Suites Taipei Nandong. Everything about this hotel continues to exceed my expectations—from the wonderful staff and convenient location to the cleanliness and overall hospitality. During my stay back in May, I accidentally left behind a pair of reading glasses. When I returned several months later, I asked about them, knowing that after so much time they might no longer be there. I spoke with Tiffany at the front desk and gave her a detailed description of the glasses. To my surprise and delight, Tiffany went above and beyond to locate them, and my glasses were found and personally delivered to my room! Service like this is truly impeccable and is exactly what makes City Suites Taipei Nandong so special. Tiffany demonstrated genuine care, professionalism, and outstanding customer service. I sincerely appreciate everything she did for me. Thank you, Tiffany, for making my stay even more memorable. I look forward to returning to City Suites Taipei Nandong again in the future! Roly

Hotel location is excellent, you're a 4min walk from Daan MTR station. There are several problems with this hotel though: 1. The so-called manager, a gentleman by the name of Mr. Lin is one of the most disappointing characters I've ever had the displeasure of interacting with. During my stay, one of the cleaning staff knocked over my water bottle causing it to dent. Not a big deal frankly but when I asked Mr. Lin to look into the situation, he completely abdicated any responsbility and failed to even must the most basic of apologies! I even brought the damaged item to allow him to photograph it for their records and all I asked for was a written confirmation they would look into it. They did not even comply with such a basic and easy request! 2. The breakfast is terrible - no scramble eggs, a paltry fresh fruit offering, shoddy pasteries, and wilty vegetables. We had it included as part of our room - on the second day we skipped it entirely and went to a delightful little local eatery around the corner instead.

This was my first time back in Taipei in 10 years, and I arrived with almost no expectations, but Hotel Éclat made the trip incredibly memorable. The biggest highlight was the people. Raymond at the concierge was exceptional. He was warm, polite, genuinely caring, and always ready with helpful recommendations for two foreigners unfamiliar with Taiwan. He even went out of his way to arrange for my friend and me to stay on the same floor, subject to availability, which we really appreciated. Raymond, together with Henry and Simon, made every interaction feel personal and welcoming. Seeing them in the evening always put a smile on my face because they are truly what made the hotel feel like home. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, very clean, and full of tasteful art. The rooms feel warm and cozy, with lovely wood finishes, excellent bedding, a beautifully designed bathroom, and great amenities. I had some of my best sleep here while travelling overseas. Overall, it was a luxurious stay with a genuine sense of warmth and outstanding service. Special thanks again to Raymond. He is an amazing person and a real asset to the hotel.

Very good hotel in a very good location however the room smelt like mould. I was certainly it was coming from the air-conditioning as the second room that we got on our second stay do not smell the same. It was a special occasion however we had not gotten any special amenities despite at least three confirmation emails sent in advance. we had also checked in at 5 pm which as well beyond the check-in time however the room was not ready and check into around 20 minutes. The nail and the coffin was the spa that was undergoing maintenance which made it was not able to be used by its hotel guests . Overall unsatisfactory stay given the price we paid however overall still a very good property in terms of its hardware.

We absolutely loved our stay at Miramar. The room and staff service was some of the best we had our entire Taiwan trip. It was our daughter's birthday and they put a card in our room for her with the nicest message (and a small towel hand-folded into a dog). Things like this are so special and she'll never forget fhat. We'll definitely stay again.

A Serious Failure in Management and Guest Service I have never experienced this level of poor service and lack of management oversight at a hotel. Throughout my stay, I had to repeatedly request housekeeping, yet my room was still not cleaned as expected. More seriously, there was even an occasion when I needed to use the bathroom and discovered that there was no toilet paper available. I immediately brought this issue to the attention of the front desk. However, despite making a formal complaint, the exact same problem occurred again the following day. At that point, this could no longer reasonably be considered a simple oversight or an isolated housekeeping mistake. The hotel had already been made aware of the problem, yet nothing appeared to have been done to prevent it from happening again. The most disappointing part is that these issues continued until the day I checked out. After repeatedly reporting the same problems without seeing any meaningful improvement, I eventually stopped complaining simply because I no longer believed that doing so would make any difference. A hotel may occasionally make a mistake — that is understandable. What is unacceptable is failing to correct a problem after a guest has already brought it to management's attention. This reflects a serious breakdown in communication between departments, inadequate supervision, and a lack of accountability at the management level. Basic housekeeping and essential bathroom supplies are not unreasonable requests. They are fundamental standards that guests should be able to expect without having to repeatedly chase the hotel for them. What concerns me most is that the hotel appeared to have multiple opportunities to correct the situation, yet failed to do so. This suggests that the issue is not simply with an individual staff member, but with the way the hotel’s service operations are being managed and supervised. This experience seriously damaged my trust in the hotel and left me with a very negative impression of its overall management and service standards. A hotel’s reputation is built on how it treats guests, especially when something goes wrong. Unfortunately, in this case, the hotel failed not only to deliver basic service, but also to respond effectively when those failures were brought to its attention. I sincerely hope management does not dismiss this as a minor housekeeping issue. The repeated nature of these problems, combined with the lack of effective follow-up, represents a significant management failure and can seriously damage guest trust, customer satisfaction, and ultimately the hotel’s reputation. For me, the most disappointing part was not that a mistake happened. It was that the hotel was given multiple opportunities to fix it — and chose not to.

✅ Final Thoughts – Why the Taiwan MRT Map is Your Travel Power Tool

After spending several days zipping around Taiwan with just an EasyCard and the MRT map in my hand, I can honestly say this: Taiwan’s MRT system is one of the best in Asia – especially if you're a fellow Malaysian who loves clean, efficient, and affordable transport (plus who wants to avoid traffic and language stress, right? 😅).

From the bustling city streets of Taipei to the laid-back charm of Kaohsiung, the MRT helped me:

  • ✅ Save money (fares are super affordable – cheaper than kopi premium!)
  • ✅ Reach top attractions without needing a taxi or Grab
  • ✅ Enjoy a comfortable ride in air-conditioned trains (perfect after walking under hot sun ☀️)
  • ✅ Travel safely at night (stations are well-lit and secure)
  • ✅ Eat my way through Taiwan, one MRT stop at a time 🍜🧋

Seriously, if you’re heading to Taiwan soon, download the Taiwan MRT map, get yourself an EasyCard, and you’re all set to explore like a pro! Whether it’s for food hunting, sightseeing, or just soaking in the vibes of this beautiful island – the MRT will take you there, easily.
