Palais de Chine Hotel

The hotel staff were amazing. |We were first greeted by the main floor concierge. After a 23 hour travel time from Canada we appreciated the short walk from the train station. The 6th floor reception staff were very friendly. ||During our stay, the concierge staff helped store our luggage while we toured the island on our bicycles. They were always lending a hand as we needed to move the bicycles in and out. In addition, they helped arranging transport to the airport with a vehicle large enough for our many suitcases. Thank you for taking the time to arrange things for us. |Floor 17 was a delightful surprise. The always friendly staff made us feel like royalty. They all remembered our name and made special efforts to make our visits enjoyable. Many thanks for the lovely experience up there with the view of nighttime Taipei in a luxurious atmosphere. I highly recommend the executive floor rooms allowing the floor 17 oasis visits. |Management needs to be commended on the friendly employees hired to give hotel guests such a great vacation. |Thank you.|Sincerely,|Karen and Norbert Broda

We had a wonderful stay at the Palais de Chine hotel over the new year period. The facilities were top notch, and our room was beautiful with some great amenities and comforts (the bath tub was much appreciated after a long visit to the night markets). My partner loved the Salon and its views, and I really cannot say enough good things about the breakfast buffet (what better way to beat the jetlag than to wake up excitedly for the braised pork rice). Webber helped us on a number of occasions during our stay, and his advice was a large part of why we were able to successfully coordinate a viewing of Taipei 101 during the New Year fireworks. Great service, great location and lovely staff. We look forward to visiting again in future.

Stay: January 27, 2025 - *book this hotel, it's a great value for the money* I booked via my credit card and needed to add my sister to the reservation since she was arriving and checking in before me. Palais de Chine was very quick to respond via the Line messaging app and was very helpful to get our stay all sorted out. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Chinese New Year. We appreciated the water filling stations on our floor. The room had beautiful lighting and all the luxury amenities we wanted - bidet, tub/shower, comfortable beds. We had a small patio off our room which didn't have a great view, but we love getting fresh air when we can. The staff were very attentive. The location was so convenient, since I got off the airport MRT later at night (it was a quick walk) and so close to many tourist attractions. Thank you for a great stay and we hope to stay again some time!

It's a beautiful place, accessible to the city and the mountains on foot. A few good restaurants to choose from. We had a corner suite, had a spectacular view. The suite is really big. The bedding was comfortable, but the floor and windows can be helped with some upgrades. It would be nice to have a teapot come with tea and tea cups in the room. The bathroom could also offer more quality amenities. But still, we loved our stay, and would love to come back

We arrived late at night due to our schedules, but the hotel staff was incredibly welcoming and provided excellent service. I loved the festive ornaments and decorations for the Christmas season, which added to the hotel's charming, castle-like atmosphere. Our room was fantastic, and the exceptional service made our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel's prime location near Taipei Train Station makes it a convenient choice for travellers. Highly recommend!

Stayed with family of 4 with 2 young kids, good amenities, AI controller in room to play music, control lights etc. Classy design of the rooms and generally warm lighting theme. A bit too dark for me though. My room for 4 comes with bath tub. Does not provide toothbrush or cotton swab or combs... there are 2 glass bottles of water everyday. There is a sparkling water dispenser every level. Nice restaurant with wine and charcoal grilled dishes. Service is fantastic, staff are very polite and helpful. Fast reaction time for housekeeping, reservation service for meals or coordination for bell service is very prompt. Overall v good experience.

A 5 star hotel deserves 5 stars on Google, and for good reasons. Excellent staff, very friendly and helpful. Excellent room, big and clean. And the breakfast? OMG, it's the most incredible breakfast buffet I have ever expected. It's almost overwhelming! The hotel is next to a mall, and Taipei main station. I have no complaints, just perfect!

The hotel has a very good location near the Taipei Train Main Station and beside the Q Square Mall. This hotel is a sure win if you decide to stay. Very clean and the service is excellent. Kudos to Mr. Webber and all the hotel staffs . Concierge and front desk are very helpful. |They even assisted us with all the packing requirements that we needed last minute from Scissors , Packing tapes and rope…. ||I will surely be back and recommend to Friends , Family and colleagues.

I stayed at this hotel during my time in Taiwan. The location was perfect because it was right next door to the main train station in Taipei (main station). many other tourist attractions are also close by. Overall, my stay was great. Pros - Room: My room was very comfortable, modern a nice sized balcony. Food: There is a restaurant onsite and breakfast was in included with my stay. The breakfast options were great and you could even order some dishes freshly made like eggs and cinnamon buns. Staff: staff were always friendly and helpful. Noise level: The hotel was pretty quiet. Location: The location was great because it was within walking distance to so many tourist attractions. FYI Main station has so many stores and restaurant option. I had dinner there every night. Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi was included and worked well throughout my stay. Cons - Room: The lighting system in the room is a little complicated and difficult to turn out the lights completely. Apparently they turn on with motion. Food: I tried to have dinner at their restaurant once but was told I needed a reservation. If I return to Taipei in the future I would stay here again. After observing the other hotel options in the area that were cheaper, I realized I definitely made the best choice.

Super conveniently located hotel (right next to Taipei Main Station) with an awesome breakfast buffet. Some wear and tear to the rooms and the intricate lighting on/off situation by the bed was a bit much for my jet lag-addled brain but otherwise a good place to stay. Water pressure for the shower was incredible; bed not too firm; pillows kinda too soft for my neck but no biggie. Bathroom was extremely clean. Other pluses: a fancy water fountain on every floor with an option for sparkling water. For a fizzy water addict like me, this was a godsend. I will say the whole place is a little dark (all the wood paneled walls don't help), starting with the elevator bank on the first floor and the reception/lobby on the sixth floor. Gym on the 17th floor was limited, with only one working treadmill and a measly selection of dumbbells but I'm guessing the room doesn't see too much traffic. Breakfast buffets are a big upside to traveling for me. The one here was extensive and top notch, everything from fruit, pastries, yogurt, salad bar, cold cuts, cereal and cheese, to lots of noodle options, congee, soy milk, tea eggs. In fact, I'd come here just to partake in the breakfast buffet.

Seems like a lot of people are commenting on the hotel'S cleanliness. Just found the picture I took of this cockroach on the mirror

Fantastic location (right. Exit to Q mall and 5 min walk to all the shopping malls and shops at 台北車站. Beautifully decorated hotel though quite dim and gorgeous and super clean rooms. I have severe dust allergies and was quite comfortable and had no incidents staying here. The best part was the exceptional customer services given at this hotel. Everyone was extremely polite, courteous and went out of their way to make you feel cared for while u r staying there, this incl housekeeping, bellman, concierge service and especially front desk. Amber the font desk was so helpful in arranging my hair appointment and setting me up with a great hair stylist on my last day as there was time crunch and around the Chinese New Years all the appointments were very limited. I love her and would definitely stay here again just cause they really do go out of their way to help make sure your visit runs smoothly. My only two minor complaints of my stay is 1) elevators r quite slow despite so many and 2) portable wifis are $399 per night where other hotels may charge $100NT. Would highly recommend u walk to 台北車站 and go look up ivideo as mine LtE rental was total $404 for 3 days rental. It's just a slightly inconvenience to have to bring it back to the location instead of dropping it off at the hotel. In summary, rooms are beautiful and bed super comfy, the 24hr currency exchange at reasonable rate and complimentary all day parking validations for guests and visitors are awesome, the breakfast buffet is delicious and has a great variety, the location is perfect as u can get anywhere, but the most memorable compare to all the other hotels is impeccable customer service.

Centrally located (right across from the Taipei main station), friendly staff, clean room, and good night view of Taipei from our room. The room is spacious, has an old luxury feel, and decent amount of storage. I love the soft and cushiony slipper provided in the room. There is a handy phone for complimentary use (ex. can make phone call, reserve tickets, internet service) which was very convenient.

Great service from front end to the back and all around. Loved the location of this hotel near the Taipei main station which houses tons of shops underground and above ground. Be prepared to get lost! Room is showing age but w proper maintenance it's great during our stay. Housekeeping was on point. Our stay included breakfast buffet at one of its restaurant. The hotel's reception is on the 6/F.

Gorgeous luxury hotel located in the heart of Taipei next to the Q Square bus station terminal.. This French boutique hotel lobby is located on the 6th floor and has elegant exquisite design and romantic atmosphere. Enjoying a nice bottle of magna cabernet from Chile to escape all the crowds in the mall below on this busy Sunday afternoon. Great place to have a meal and drinks, but a bit pricey to stay at this hotel for me. Must come to check out the wow factor.

The Service: Wonderful!! Very attentive, took great care of us. Servers are always around. The Food: We come for Chinese New Year eve dinner. It is buffet style. Almost US$100 per person. 2 seatings. Both 2 hours to ear. YES.... TOO RUSH! People are like fighting for the food, cutting lines. It is a terrible dinning experience! Not organized! Everyone get a main course, lobster & steak. Appetizer & dessert buffet. Love love love the dessert choices! The Parking: Restaurant validate parking for few hours With the price they charge & only 2 hours to eat.... not worth it!

Oh man, this was definitely not expected. I really wanted to rest up before flying back home, having just came from missions. As much as AEF was a missions, it was also my personal time off to enjoy Taiwan. And that meant finding and exploring a place to stay for a day. So what about Palais de Chine Hotel that made it my choice for that day? First, it's a luxury boutique hotel located strategically in the heart of Taipei Train Station. Ravishingly beautiful and decorated to the finest, the furnishing and amenities are definitely geared towards more affluent couples and romantic getaways. Dim lighting and surrounding vibes give a sultry and seductive mood. Walk into the elevators and into the hotel and you'll find yourself immersed into another world. I was placed on the deluxe floor (which meant the 14th Floor) and it was definitely a step up from its rivals. Modern and well furnished, my room offered a nice city view through a huge window that conveyed Taipei in all its finest. It was stylish but overly done. For a trendy hotel like this one, this definitely counts as hipster for sure. The room was equipped to the max as well: bathrobes slippers mini-bar two bottled waters safe coffee and tea daily newspapers Fridge Toiletries (fancy ones) 40 inch TV all-in-one control for light and temperature One odd design about this room was the bathroom. The large tub with no door, combined with the most interesting of doors for a bathroom window made me question the intent of the designer's philosophy. I mean, it's great to build the bathroom with an open layout, but who wants to open windows to see someone take a dump? That's just weird. As much as this open concept bathroom is in effect, I still prefer the more traditional (you know, with doors) where one can enjoy a full privacy and relaxation without having to worry about people peeping in. The daily buffet breakfast for me was a bit of a letdown, given that I had paid around 700 NT for something I expected to be excellent. Maybe it was just an off-day for them. Regardless, the breakfast had a variety of cuisines from all over the world. The vast selection covered both Western and Asian Style that were prepared pretty well. There was even a made-to-order egg section where I had the most over-hard eggs of my life. There was even this honey tray which honestly surprised the living daylights out of me. A honeycomb taken directly from the beehive? YOU A GENIUS hotel. Palais de Chine Hotel is definitely one of my top choices whenever I need to stay someplace in Taipei. The location and surrounding areas make this an initial top choice, as it's right next door (literally) to Q-Square Station, which also connects to the MRT and High Speed Rail Station. It's also given a ton of shopping malls and underground shops that would make any girl blushing with excitement.

I usually stay at Regent taipei when I'm in Taiwan but this is about to change. Palais De Chine is much better! They are closer to the train station, their staff is friendlier, the room is nicer and the atmosphere just makes you feel like you're welcome in a very high class hotel. The only thing I would want them to change is maybe have 1 more setting for the lights to be brighter and maybe a little bit bigger room. Although the room isn't so small that it bothered me. Xavier, one of the guy working there was so friendly and helpful. I want to give him a shout out! Thanks for making my hotel stay such a nice experience!!! You're now my go to hotel in Taiwan!!!

We booked the hotel last minute and were very satisfied with the hotel. Staff is friendly and efficient and speak good English. Rooms are clean and spacious. There is a connected shopping mall. Great breakfast, hard to find a better buffet.

Eating at China Palace in Taiwan is a little ironic. BUt if you pass through the political irony, this hotel and its restaurant is really design. The setting is very "old precious" china. It's really beautiful if you're looking for a total cliché of China but done classy. MIAM MIAM Beijing duck prepared and cut by the chef in front of you is a must MONEY MONEY MONEY Hotel restaurant, so in the upper range of price

This hotel is located at such a convenient location, right next to a mall and an MRT station. I really enjoyed being able to walk over to the mall and shop around/ eat whenever I had downtime. The inside of the hotel is decorated really nicely and the service is extremely courteous. The rooms seemed like they were intended more for couples than for families, since there was no divider between the bathroom and the room, which seemed kind of odd to me. The dinner buffet was not as good as I expected, and quite pricey too. Overall, I think this is a great hotel and I would definitely recommend staying here.

Great boutique hotel at a great location (right next to the Taipei Station). If you like your hotel bright with lots of lights, you may not like it but I enjoyed my stay here a lot! One time, I got a room upgrade with executive floor access. That was the bomb! The lounge offers a breakfast alternative when you don't want to eat at the crowded restaurant in the morning. (The selection is a lot smaller but if you just want something quick and simple, it's perfect.) The happy hour is what I loved! The canele here was one of the best in my recent memory and that includes the canele from Dominique Ansel Bakery in NYC! Not to mention, it's a free-flow bar! There is some privacy issue with the bathrooms in the room - not compartmentalized - only a curtain if you will... Otherwise, the room is very comfortable - just a little dark. As mentioned, I love their breakfast - great selection and plenty of food. The complimentary tea bags in the room are also fabulous. I always bring the leftover ones home with me. LOL

Pretty nice hotel located right across the street from the subway station (there is an entrance to it from the underground mall). The rooms were nice, service was good, price was right, and the breakfast buffet was solid. The only problem about this place is that it is a bit far from all the nightlife bars/cafes. The good part is that taxis are extremely cheap, just make sure you have the exact address as the taxi drivers don't speak much english. While they don't have a shuttle to the airport, you can either take the airport bus or the taxi. The airport bus was too complicated for us to find at the subway station so we opted for the taxi. It'll run you around $30 USD. 4 stars.

The last hotel in our January 2016 Taiwan family trip, we saved the best for last. We stayed in the Executive Suite and boy oh boy what a room it was. From the entry foyer, the 4-person dining table, separate seating area (with flat screen) and the bedroom (with another flat screen) + bose surround sound speakers... we definitely felt like we "made it" here. Granted, we got this room because of a familial connection, but man, totally worth it! The service, like most luxury hotels we've stayed at during our trip, has been top-notch. From the bell hop service, front desk, to the cleaning staff, whatever we needed (e.g., baby supplies) we got.

I staid here for 3 nights based on its location to the main train station. I arrived late at night so I was a little disoriented on arrival but the friendly staff directed me to the check in desk on the third floor. It is a little different but a lot of downtown hotels these days are not stand alone buildings so the main lobby is anywhere but the first floor. Rooms are spacious but it was strange at first to walk through the bath room to get into the room. It is also not separated off by a wall. There is a curtain to separate it from the rest of the room. The open floor made the room seem larger than it was. Since I was rooming by myself, it was ok for me. I guess if your sharing a room, it may make it a little awkward. The toilet was a Japanese modern one with a bunch of function keys. To future for me. The shower was spacious and the tub was huge. The place is a little dark though. I left the curtain open even at night to get some light into the room. The hall also seemed under lit also. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of television options. I was really impressed when they dropped off a little birthday surprise for me. I happen to be staying here during my birthday and they sent over a little dessert. It was very good. Definite plus.

This is a 5 star hotel with budget hotel service. This hotel is very expensive and is decorated with Asian art. Also, the toilets in the rooms are high tech Japanese electronic bidets. The hotel rooms are quite clean and free of bed bugs. The hotel is very conveniently located next to the central rail station in the middle of Taipei on top of a luxury shopping center but next to an underground budget food court and shopping center. However, this is where the 5 star experience ends. Nobody in the dining room spoke English. The wifi was not working in my room and it took 30 minutes to fix. The bellhop never offered to take my luggage up to my room. I saw the dining room chef use the exact same unwashed knife to cut salad right after he used the knife to cut raw fish.The omelette chef kept on making the omelettes wrong even though it requires zero English speaking abilities since we pointed out exactly which ingredients we wanted him to make our omelettes out of. Finally, the design of the hotel is confusing. The first floor is the concierge desk, NOT the front desk where you check in or out. You have to go up several floors in order to get to the front desk. When I checked in, the personnel never explained to me how to use the hotel room card to gain access to the elevators. Lucky for me, I had previously stayed at the Fleur de Chine hotel where they had the exact same security system so I knew how to use it. Also, they had an ultra luxury shower of post-modern design that was difficult the use. It took a couple minutes of fumbling around before I could figure it out. If you're going to install unusual features, then a placard should be installed next to the shower head explaining how to use the shower. For example, the fancy electronic Japanese bidet had an instruction placard installed next to the bidet. No such placard was available for the difficult to use shower. The people I checked in with never explained to me how to use the shower, either. I've stayed at the same corporation's sister facility, the Fleur de Chine and it was the BEST hotel i've ever stayed in. However, this is probably the worst 5 star hotel I've ever stayed in. No, it is not horrible. This hotel is tons better than any budget hotel such as Holiday Inn or Days Inn. However, when you're paying 5 star hotel prices, I expect 5 star hotel service, not budget hotel service. I would only recommend this hotel if convenience to nearby shopping and restaurants is of the utmost importance to you. Otherwise, there are better values for your money than the Palais de Chine Hotel.

We stayed here for one night after arriving in TW from the US. The hotel greatly exceeded our expectations in terms of quality and service. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate our early check-in, storing our luggage, and providing transportation to the train station. I highly recommend this hotel.

I came here with friends for their all-one-can eat Lobster and Steak Buffet. 3000NTD (ca. $100), drinks are extra. The steak and lobster is good, but small in portion; though you can order as many times as you like. But the star of the evening is the buffet: I was impressed by the quality and assortment of fish, meats, salads and desserts. The sashimi, especially, was outstanding.

Excellent location! Right next to Taipei station. Beautiful room and comfortable bed. Was a bit skeptical about the high ratings online when we booked it but it was actually very good. We'd definitely come back.
