Taiwan MRT Map – Taiwan Metro &amp; City Rail Guide

🏙️ 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 ❄️).

🗺️ An Overview of the Taiwan MRT Lines

If you're like me (a Malaysian who loves to explore stress-free 😄), then the Taiwan MRT Map will be your new best friend. It’s the key to unlocking two of Taiwan’s most exciting cities: Taipei and Kaohsiung. Let me break it down so you know exactly what to expect and where to go.

The decor looks a little dated and old especially compared to other 5 star hotel we have stayed in (Grand Hyatt). But the room is spacious and clean. And the price is just right. We got the city view, a small extra but we think it’s worth it compared to the interior view. Location is great, a short walk from the MRT station.

I had a pleasant stay at Sheraton Grand Taipei. The staff were very professional and spoke English well, which made communication smooth. There is a convenient luggage storage service available, which was a big help. The room was clean and well-equipped with essentials such as a hairdryer, drinking glasses, dishes, and complimentary bottled water. However, one point to note is that the lower floor houses the main restaurant, and during lunchtime, the area gets quite busy with tour groups and other guests. As a result, food smells can linger in the elevators and even stick to your clothes when walking past. It would be great if the hotel provided air freshener spray in the room to help with this. The location is excellent, just one stop from Taipei Main Station and within walking distance to the NanXi shopping area, making it extremely convenient for both travel and leisure. Overall, I would definitely recommend Sheraton Grand Taipei for its great location, attentive service, and comfortable stay

There is a supermarket and a night market nearby, making it very convenient for meals, snacks, and daily essentials. The hotel itself is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Considering the price, it offers very good value for money, especially if you prefer staying somewhere more peaceful while still being well-connected to the city. Overall, a clean, comfortable, and convenient hotel that I would highly recommend.

The location of this hotel is great as is situated directly opposite Taiwan Station. Many undergone shops connected directly from hotel elevator. Within walking distance to shin kong mitukoshi mall and many eatery nearby the hotel. On a side note - hotel running on thin manpower. Front office quite clearly shortage of staff and no proper direction which counter for check-in and check-out. Some of the staff onsite in suits does not marshal guests around. they simply stood there even the traffic was really heavy over the weekend. From my observation, room service seems like manning with minimum manpower to serve and run a hotel with 400 rooms capacity. ? Over in laundry room - for a designated hotel with 400+ rooms ＞ only has 1 washing machine and 1 dryer. This need to be improved. Everyone were queing and we need to run backforth many times. Remember hospitality industry is to serve with a HEART. The room was spacious and clean but we noticed the paint on our room ceiling was half done - joke aside we were wondering they run out of paints.

This place is your jackpot. The location? Smack dab in the middle of everything. I stepped out and walk a bit and boom food, fun, and a pharmacy (because you never know). Staff were friendlier than my GPS, and the check-in was faster than my morning coffee brewing. Honestly, I came for a place to crash and ended up low-key considering extending my stay just to enjoy the peaceful vibes and people-watching from the lobby. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I bring snacks next time? Also yes, because midnight cravings are real.

Hotel location is easy accessible within nearby metro and is also 2 station away from Songshan if you need to take a TRA to 九份. Surrounding with breeze mall and ikea right beside it and the best of all 7-11 mart is right in level 1 within the hotel without having you to walk all the way out if you need last minute supper or drinks. As this is an eco friendly hotel, hence no mineral water is given but flasks are provided to fill water via their water dispenser near the lift lobby and not to forget their coffee are provided in capsule with coffee machine instead of packet. Overall, I’m very pleased with the service, cleanliness, big room and hotel location. 😁

overall, it was an average experience. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and quiet, with surprisingly good soundproofing that made it easy to rest. I also appreciated the in-room coffee machine, which was a convenient touch for a quick morning pick-me-up. However, being located in the basement made the room feel a bit dark, and the bathroom facilities could be more modern, as the toilet was not a washlet. The breakfast offered was quite limited, and the service left something to be desired. While the staff were present, they did not proactively check on guests or offer assistance, and there was little interaction or friendliness. Simple gestures like greetings, smiles, or help with luggage were missing, which made the overall experience feel less welcoming. Additionally, during breakfast, food was cleared promptly at the set time without asking if guests were still eating or wanted more, which could have been handled more thoughtfully. On the positive side, the hotel provides the essentials for a short stay, and the rooms are quiet and functional. For travelers prioritizing comfort and a clean environment, this hotel is acceptable, but I feel that improved hospitality and more attention to guest experience would make a significant difference. Service really matters in hospitality, and it’s the area where this property could improve the most.

This is a locally owned hotel and, although rated as a four-star property, it feels more like a three-star international chain hotel. The staff do not greet guests proactively and tend to respond only when spoken to. Even when thanked, they often remain unresponsive, which was rather disappointing. The hotel has a distinct 1990s vibe which is dated, but equipped with all the basic facilities one might need. Breakfast was quite unappealing, and the coffee was especially disappointing as it was served from a pot rather than freshly ground. That said, the location is excellent and just a few minutes’ walk from the rail system, with plenty of eateries and convenience stores nearby. From a pricing perspective, it’s reasonable value for money, and I wouldn’t mind staying here again, provided expectations are managed accordingly.

Had a very pleasant stay overall! The room was spacious and comfortable, and the front desk staff were genuinely helpful and friendly throughout our trip. However, the on-site laundry facilities were a bit of a letdown and felt misleading. The instructions suggested automatic detergent dispensing, but none was provided during our wash cycle — we ended up rinsing clothes in 70°C plain hot water, and they still came out smelling stale (needless to say, not ideal!). The dryer was another issue: it has a ‘cool off’ period of about 6 minutes every cycle, interrupting the drying process. If you insert NT$10 coins one at a time, you’d only get around 4 minutes of actual drying before it cools again. This wastes a lot of time and money, often leaving clothes damp. Tip for future guests: Insert 4-5 coins (NT$40-50) all at once for longer continuous drying and better results. These are small fixes that could make the laundry much more convenient — otherwise, a solid hotel!

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.
