Grand Hotel Taipei

I stayed for just a day but loved my experience. The mountain is conveniently located behind the hotel so that you can hike/burn the calories after enjoying a big hotel buffet brunch. They give you a discount if you are staying at the hotel (this was back in October, 2024). They had many vegetarian options, including fresh fruits. Every hotel employee I encountered was nice and accommodating- though I don't think I'm a particularly picky traveler. The rooms were clean and spacious enough(I stayed at the twin bed room wo window). There's a free shuttle to the nearest subway station, so the "inconvenient location" wasn't an issue for me at all.

Unbelievable service and facilities. Bellhops in uniform greet you and whisk away your luggage. The lobby is breathtaking with deep reds and gold. Spacious rooms with huge balconies, furniture with intricate wood carvings. Attentive staff in every way. Want ice? They will bring it. If you tip $100 NT ($3) they will be very pleased. Shuttle to the MRT - subway. One of the most memorable stays ever!

Overall experience is very unique. The whole staff from arriving to reception, to the driver taking us to back building, are all very passionate, knowledgeable, and kind. Simply walking in the hotel and talk to gift shops people, you can learn a great deal about the history, and feel like being part of it. I’ll definitely visit, stay again, and find chances to try one of the restaurants. Didn’t get the chance to join the tunnel tour. But overall, I think this is a must -visit place for all tourists.

This legendary hotel is the very first five star hotel in Taiwan about 60 years ago. Today it still looked good outwardly but inside of the hotel were very much outdated. But the Chinese style restaurant are still very good, that server all types of cuisine, from Taiwanese to Cantonese to Shanghainese. They all very good. If you book a room here or just here for a meal, you will enjoy this old but still beautiful hotel.

It is a wonderful hotel in the Taipei city,I love the surroundings,a lots of tress and also a few trails to the Main Street. I had a wonderful time in the hotel, I hate to leave it and I wish I could stay longer.this hotel treats tons of guests everyday,so make sure to be prepared for the weekend crowd.the breakfast is great,however the dinner is over priced with unpleasant food in my own opinion. I highly recommend you to go to Shilin night market hunt the local food.the hotel employees are very helpful and polite.the hotel offers free shuttle buses to connect between the hotel and Yuanshan MRT.overall this hotel worth to stay.

For my first trip to Taiwan, I knew I wanted to experience something classic and totally unique. Sure, I could have stayed in any number of newer, international brand hotels in the center of Taipei, but the minute I saw the Grand Hotel, I knew that had to be where I stayed. ||I booked a Prestige Deluxe Room, but on checkin, they had upgraded me to a Horizon suite. This was absolutely lovely! The room had a separate living room and bedroom, plus an enormous double balcony with an INCREDIBLE view of Taipei. The balcony itself was stunning and ornate, just a totally magical place to sit and watch the stunning backdrop.||The room itself was extremely comfortable. The hotel even has a pillow menu that you can order from at no additional cost! The bathroom had a Toto toilet, a soaking tub, and a stand up shower. ||Every staff member I interacted with was kind, welcoming, and professional. Even just wandering around the property to look at all of the gorgeous art was awesome.||Yes, the hotel is a little out of the way, but Ubers are so cheap in Taipei compared to in the US that it is really no big deal. And trust me: the view from the hillside is 1000% worth it!

It's the most unique hotel we have stayed in in Taiwan. It's not super old, but it has so much history and such unique looking and design. I booked a corner suite, it's over a thousand sq foot, a huge balcony with thick red pillars, and one spectacular breathtaking views of Taipei,v it's incredible! We came across this hotel by accident, because it's not on every hotel booking site. It caught my eye on our way in Uber checking into another hotel. I thought it was a museum or some special entity. When I found out it was a hotel, I booked it, even though we couldn't cancel the other hotel we've booked already. I knew it would have a great view, it didn't disappoint. We had a swiping view of Taiwan's City and mountains, I can see the 101 tower from my bed. The corner suite helps for sure. The hotel has many beautiful artworks throughout, also covering each floor as well. The room has lumps and furniture resembling some of the designs from the nearby palace museum. The hotel also has many restaurants and a nice cafe, food was better than other 5 Star hotels we've had in Taiwan. Loved it! I would stay here again next time I'm in Taiwan.

Chaotic check in but service is exceptional. Very grand decor in public areas. Superior Chi Lin room is very spacious with a commanding view. Very clean, very comfortable. Breakfast buffet is almost overwhelming, very extensive and delicious. Overall an excellent value.
