Art'otel Taipei Ximending

If you happen to travel in Taiwan and stay in Ximending I can recommend this 3stars hotel. This is for those who like "A bit on a pricy side meets artsy "kind of space vibe. Just learned that Taiwan has this culture of making their relationship to customers feel like really at home and not too luxurious. Imagine that even their staffs are just wearing everyday clothes on shorts and shirts with no branding at all. You would just be surprised that they are part of the hotel team when you ask for help. The style of the hotel is on the "Industrial meets Pop culture ". Details l've noticed are as follows 1. Exterior Signage: • The hotel's exterior features a modest, multi-story building with a weathered appearance. The illuminated hotel sign, "ARTOTEL," is prominently displayed above the entrance, surrounded by lights to draw attention. 2. Lobby Area: • The lobby has an industrial-chic design, with exposed pipes on the ceiling and large, retro-style hanging lights. There is a wooden counter with multiple desktop computers, likely serving as a check-in area or a business center for guests. • The signage directs guests to amenities such as laundry and restrooms, indicating a basic yet functional setup. 3. Reception Desk: • The reception area features a vintage-inspired counter with ornate detailing, adding a touch of character to the space. • Behind the counter, shelves are lined with various items, possibly for guest use or sale, contributing to a somewhat cluttered but cozy atmosphere. Overall, the hotel combines functional amenities with a unique, industrial aesthetic, characteristic of a two-star establishment aimed at ambience conscious travelers seeking a bit of style.

Was really surprised with what the hotel offers even though it’s a 3 star hotel. They have free access to Netflix which most hotels don’t (or can’t even sync) and a coffee machine. The room itself feels cozy and a double bed is quite wide. Although I book one with no window, it doesn’t feels you are locked up. Shower gel and shampoo both smells great. Location is okay - around ximen ding but have to walk a bit to the inside.

the hotel is so neat very clean interior have shower have laundry nice smart tv have a gym (?) also but didnt get to see it because i thought taipei was gonna rain all day no sport shoes pleasant

I stayed here for the first half of my Taipei trip, the hotel is perfect for solo travellers. The room is a great size with fantastic amenities (Nespresso machine and Dyson hairdryer! Tv with Netflix included). The room may be a little cosy for a couple but I think it would be fine! Hotel lobby had a lot of cute things you could buy like souvenirs; patches and pins. They also offered maps etc. and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, could speak mandarin and English. I arrived before check in, and leaving my luggage was not a problem, they also let me freshen up after my flight and change my clothes in the bathroom (which also had a shower!) Communal kitchen area with a fridge, washing machine and water tap (which could make soda water!). I loved staying here and would definitely stay again!

The boss is very friendly and very cozy

The entrance and location spots is kinda dark and confusing because the front desk in on the 4th floors. But overall the cleanliness and the room was good.

something that stood out about this hotel was the friendliness of the staff! we were greeted cheerily by Thomas when we first checked in and even so when we left. there were also amenities provided and the room is clean.

Special shout out to Thomas Ong for his swift and efficient assistance during my stay. It is commendable for his quick response and swift action when I left my passport, wallet, cash and all my identification cards in the safety box. He managed to arrange a driver to pick up everything from the hotel and send to me at the airport within an hour time. If not, I would have already missed my flight. I can’t be thankful enough for his patience and service. I truly appreciate all the efforts and being so thoughtful throughout the process. Furthermore, I like the portable garment steamer I borrowed from the counter. I highly recommend this hotel for their 5 stars services. I would definitely be back again. Thank you so so much!

I like how it’s so near the main area in Ximending, it’s a great location and the staffs are super friendly and accommodating to their guests. Not to mention the room we stayed in is so cozy, just need to make sure to use the blinds before you shower or use the toilet. Would highly recommend tourists to stay in this hotel!
