Top Couple Friendly Hotels in Taipei

Though it's a historic building, the hotel is beautifully maintained and exudes a majestic charm. I loved finding historical pieces and displays around every corner. We stayed for three nights in two different rooms. The first was an economy room, which offered great value with all essentials provided, even a small bathtub, although it lacked windows. The second room was incredibly spacious, featuring a large balcony with views of lush greenery. The location, perched on a hill, might not be the most convenient, but the hotel provides frequent shuttle buses to Jian Tan station (near Shilin Market) and Yuan Shan. The shuttle ride takes about 10 minutes. On our last day, I bought their delicious winter melon cubes, which are amazing when steeped in Oolong tea—simply heavenly! Overall, it was a delightful stay, and I’d gladly return.

Nice hotel lobby and friendly staff. Room is spacious with a relaxing forest view. Cleanliness is on point and beds are really comfy. Things that drag down the rating for this hotel. 1. Breakfast was a tad too average. 2. Its regrettable that they dont do cleaning service from evening onwards though they can replenish amenities and clear rubbish out of the room.

Excellent hotel for couple; due to toilet and shower room / bath tub is an open concept. There is only a curtain to divide between bedroom and shower area. Cleanliness is tip top level. Service level is excellent. Will definitely stay here again. 6 mins away from MRT station.

I stayed at this hotel because it had the amenities I was looking for compared to the price and the surrounding hotels. I also had a full day too or the next day with a meeting spot not too far away (Check out full-day tour Shilin, Jiufen, Geopark). The room is beautiful and clean and the area quite nice because there’s some local businesses nearby who are quite friendly to foreigners. Cool bar next door. My only disappointment was the fact that they have a bar listed and it’s not really quite a bar in the lobby which was chilly anyway. The room is very comfortable and the view is nice. I did not go swimming in the pool, but it was definitely a comfortable spot. The other thing I want to mention is the late check-in time. If you want to check in earlier, you have to pay a certain amount of money extra in TWD. I noticed that some hotels do the late check-in process, but I don’t feel this hotel should necessarily do that. They were able to check me in early with the extra fee after a delayed rain flight. Happy with it mostly.MRT across street is bonus. Uber easy to grab.

The room is supreme and comfortable when you need hot springs anytime. The location was far beyond the city or city. The view was excellent for photo taking for the background.

Fantastic stay. Superb location. Clean and modern hotel. Very nice pool to help you digest all the good food you would have consumed in Taipei!

My wife and I recently stayed at the Amba Taipei Songshan hotel. We had a good time. Upon our arrival we entered with a lot of luggage because from Taipei we would be flying on to the Philippines for a long stay. Thankfully the very nice security guard on the ground floor offered to contact the upstairs front desk and moments later we were helped with our luggage by the very kind Michael Mao. He went beyond the call of duty in giving us personal help with our luggage and allowing us to check in earlier than usual. My wife was surprised by how large the room was and so was I. Very comfortable setup. We didn’t have a view of Taipei 101 but the other side of the building is nice as well. The only problem was that all three days of our stay, the weather was very gloomy with occasional rain. Thanks to Michael for helping with food suggestions, shopping info for my wife and great instructions on how to access the Hop On Hop Off, etc. Unfortunately, we ended up not using the Hop On/Off bus because the schedule is really not great for tourist. Availability of the bus isn’t good. Michael explained that this was mostly due to those Covid years. Perhaps in the future the Hop On/Off will be back to normal as I think most tourist around the world are used to taking advantage of it just to get a quick view of the entire city. I will say that the best form of travel around the city is definitely the subway, which is probably the easiest to use in the world. Its super clean and convenient. Also, as great as the Amba Taipei Songshan hotel is, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention something that others have made mention of and that is the breakfast. Unfortunately, its not a great selection and not very flavorful. I’m one of those people who never adds salt to my food once its cooked. With this breakfast, I was shaking the salt shaker constantly. Also, I think employees/chefs should be encouraged and allowed to be a little more improvisational, if you will. I witnessed several times where someone asked if their eggs could be cooked “sunny side up” but the chef only pointed to the sign with two choices, scrambled or omelette. Sunny side up is not hard to do and probably takes less time to make than an omelette. Also, there’s a sign that says pancakes but in front of this sign is a plate filled with waffles. I assumed that you had to ask for pancakes so when I did, the chef pointed at the waffles. That sign should be changed to waffles only or offer both, which in my opinion would be the better option. Pancakes and Waffles. The area where breakfast is served is very nice and spacious. They should really try harder to make the breakfast just as exceptional. Beyond that, I still very much recommend this hotel as a number one option. Its a great location, the city link is right across the street and the Raohe night market is not far away at all. Really nice relaxed vibe and a very safe area to walk around and explore. 😁. Thank you for a nice stay…

The location of the hotel is great, directly across from the Jiantan MRT station and also a 5 minutes walk from Shilin Night Market. The amenities in the hotel room was nice and thoughtful. Refreshments are provided in the hotel lobby. Unfortunately, the wifi in the hotel was subpar. The room was modern and having a balcony was a plus. However the rooms are smaller than the The Tango Jiantan (which is right next door) and about half the size of The Tango Xinyi, which had little space for 2 people to share and made it a bit difficult to unpack large suitcases. It would be nice if there are a bit more drawers or space to put items. Overall would stay again for the location but would recommend the Jiantan branch instead for more spacious rooms.

This hotel is very new and modern, rooms were really big too! But it’s located abit away from central ximending where there’s not many people so walking alone at night was a little scary. Overall, the room was clean besides finding a used tissue underneath the bedside. Also the shower head wouldn’t stay straight so it was also quite difficult to shower against the wall.

Nice and compact room. Ximen MRT is just minutes away. They have daily snacks and late night instant noodles with free coffee and tea. Quite a nice hotel despite the price difference on Trip.com and their own website. Better to compare the price before booking.
