Hotels near MRT Dapinglin Station in New Taipei City

After coming back from Taiwan, I suddenly realized I hadn’t posted any photos or written a review about the adorable wooden cabin our family stayed in at Jiufen. Everyone in my family loved this place so much that I had to jot everything down now that I finally have some free time. Most people I know usually stay in Taipei longer and just make a day trip to Jiufen without spending the night. As for me—I’ve lived in Hong Kong for quite a while, so compared to Hong Kong, Taipei didn’t leave much of an impression on me in terms of sights or food. The only thing that truly made me want to visit Taiwan was Jiufen — a sparkling little gem between the mountains and the sea 🏮🌿🌊 Jiufen feels like a dreamy fairytale village with its winding narrow alleys, steep stone stairways, and the warm glow of red lanterns everywhere. Walking around felt like stepping into another world, almost like a scene from a manga — especially for anyone who’s watched Spirited Away. ⸻ ⭐🛖 Review of the wooden cabin called Twilight Forest in Jiufen Just a 5-minute walk from the Old town, this wooden cabin brings together the warm glow of wood and the peaceful feeling of retreating into nature. It has a unique A-frame design, and at night, when the lights turn on, the whole place becomes incredibly cozy — the golden light shining through the windows and the plants around it create a “hideaway from the world” kind of vibe. Inside, the space is open, airy, and tastefully decorated in a rustic style. There’s a small terrace with a swing chair hanging straight from the ceiling — sitting there at night, listening to insects and the wind rustling through the leaves, feels genuinely healing 🙃. 🛁🌿 Highlight: The glass-walled bathroom in the garden This is the standout feature of the cabin. The bathtub is large and comfortable, placed right next to a 180° glass wall looking directly into a lush green garden. Natural daylight pours in, making your daytime bath feel like an outdoor spa surrounded by plants. (There’s also a roller blind if you need privacy) Jiufen is a tiny village perched on a mountain, and it doesn’t have many hotels that offer spacious, comfortable accommodations. That’s why I was so happy to find this wooden cabin. Our family had the most wonderful two-night stay here. If I ever return to Taipei, I would definitely book this place again ❤️

The hotel location is good. The room we lived in is located is a few stairs away from the Main Street, so it is quiet, but close to walk there. Mr Xu is nice and he picked us up at the Chenghuang Temple and prepared us the umbrella for the rain. The room is full of antique, which reminds us of the old times. A nice trip.

We had 3nites stay. Great hotel, spacious, clean. Friendly staffs Bath tub is a great way to end your day after a long day out. Location:10 mins walk to Banqiao station for train/HSR Amenities:Hotel does not provide free basic amenities, NT100 per pack. Remember bring your own. Gym is chargeable, a pity There is an Osen, free for the guests 7-11 and Family near hotel There is a shop just opp the hotel that serve lamb hotpot during winter, very delicious. Highly recommended except the location if u are dragging your luggages.

I was really satisfied with my stay at this hotel when I came for the nearby concert. The geographical advantage stood out most—it is not far from the performance venue, making commuting extremely easy on busy show days. The room was thoroughly cleaned every day, with tidy bedding, complete toiletries and stable hot water supply. The bed was comfortable enough for me to get a good rest after staying out late for the event. The front desk team was friendly and responsive, dealing with check-in and check-out procedures quickly without unnecessary waiting. There are supermarkets and casual eateries nearby for snacks and simple meals. Even with tight hotel supply during the tour period, its pricing was relatively fair. Overall, it was a practical and comfortable choice for concert travelers, and I would definitely book this hotel again if I visit for future shows.

This was my first time staying at an apartment-style hot spring hotel, and it felt just like a complete home. It had a living room, dining room, kitchen, a small Japanese-style room, and a bedroom. Plus, I could enjoy the hot spring bath [the Amber Golden Spring, which combines the benefits of three famous hot springs: the skin-nourishing bath, the beauty bath, and the slimming bath], making it feel like a luxurious wellness retreat. You can even see the Tamsui River in the distance. A truly wonderful hotel.

We had 3 nights at Harmony in a room with no window, but it did not feel claustrophobic at all. We did have trouble finding it due google maps playing up and we ended up at the sister hotel further up the hill. Thankfully, one of the owners ran up the hill and met us to take us to the correct one Entry to the hotel is a pain when it pouring down with rain while trying to input your details for the QR code. But this was clearly detail in the listing descritption and previous reviews had mentioned this. A huge help would be to to put a larger sign identifying the hotels location. See photo with circle around the name…. Very easy to miss. During the stay, it was very quiet and extremely clean in possible the best location to old street. Literally 30 seconds away. Walk a little bit further and theres a 7-11 and family mart across the street. The wifi is w10/10 so very good for digital nomads. I highly recommend harmony and would definitely stay again.

I stayed at this hotel because of a concert at the New Taipei City Exhibition Hall. You can drop off your luggage before checking in, and there are self-service kiosks for both check-in and check-out. The room is very spacious! It comes with a hairdryer, 5 hangers, bath towels, hand towels, disposable slippers, shampoo and body wash, and a bidet. However, the water pressure in the shower is really low. I stayed for 3 nights this time and you can request housekeeping (but I just took out my own trash for the staff, as I didn't feel the need for a full cleaning).

Highly recommended! The location is super strategic. It’s just a short walk from Sanchong MRT Station, which is directly connected to the Taoyuan Airport MRT—making airport transfers completely hassle-free. Plus, it’s located right in front of the New Taipei Metropolitan Park, which is great for a relaxing stroll. The room design is really nice, modern, and comfy. I got a room with a balcony, and the New Taipei City view was absolutely stunning, especially at night! The only downside is that the amenities are quite limited. Make sure to bring some of your own toiletries. Other than that, everything was perfect!

The room smelled of heavy smoke. The same with the corridors. Had to use the room air cleaner all the time. Could not really open the windows and they were also very dirty. The bed was very big. The bathroom was big but very old and it looked a bit grimy. Carpet stained and the room old overall. The room dark generally. They were great when we requested cleaning the room. The location was also very good. Many many buses to the center of Taipei. Many restaurants and coffee shops around. Convenience shop 2 min away. Internet only alright. The area seemed very safe. Not sure why other people said it wasn’t. Overall it was ok, cheaper than most places at least

The reception staff was very friendly. I didn't have dinner there. The equipment was a bit old. Breakfast was available the next day, but it was simple. There was nothing special to order. I had thick slices, boiled eggs, and tomatoes that day. The air was pretty good.
