Hotels near Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab (C-LAB), Taipei

This hotel is very well located in the heart of the city, very convenient

Enjoyed a warm welcome at Grand Hyatt Taipei on Friday 1st Nov after the super typhoon Kong Rey hit on 31st Oct. The room was ready for us when we arrived at 3pm. We did not get the Taipei 101 view - will get it next visit🤭. Hotel gave us late check out at 2pm….really wonderful! And please enjoy breakfast at the hotel…the variety is huge! Nearest mrt is at Taipei 101. Recommended… yes lots of rumours that it’s ******* etc but we did not feel or see anything weird.

We stayed at this hotel for our quarantine stay (3+4). This hotel was the highest priced quarantine hotel in Taipei. As Taiwan is moving away from quarantine, it is unclear whether this hotel will remain a quarantine hotel. Provided meals: Three meals were provided. I believe they rotated it somewhat. I would give them 4 stars overall. They were of mid-to-high end quality, but certainly not Michelin star or 5-star hotel restaurant's quality. That is, I had much better at The Regent or The Sheraton Taipei. That said, there was a microwave in the room for one to heat up the meals to a warmer setting as the meals were prepared in bulk at the lobby. They were lukewarm when the meals arrived in our room. It appeared some meals were prepared by the hotel restaurant and others were from outside sources. The meals were *********, Korean, and Japanese focused. If one wants Western foods, then Food Panda or Uber Eats will be what you want. There are expensive local restaurants at Xinyi Districts that you can pay for to get your own food. Check with the hotel on delivery times, I believe that they won't refund the costs of the meals if one chooses not to eat the prepaid meals. Prior to booking the quarantine hotel, they will send one a form to ask for some preferences and/or allergies. There was a toaster and hot water boiler in the room. The drip coffee and tea packets were super flavorful and refilled (via Line or other means of contact) during our stay. In fact, most contacts were done remotely during the quarantine period. Room: This is what one is paying for in this place if one is stuck here for 8 days (landing day is Day 0). The bed and beddings were super comfortable. The bed was a full king, My room was in the smaller side, but sufficient for two people and eight pieces of luggage. The room was super clean. We know, because we tried wiping some areas and found them to be stainless. We also noticed, via the peephole, that housekeeping took over two hours to deep clean our neighbor's room - including the use of what appeared to be an ultraviolet wand to clean some service areas. There was a clothes-wire in the bathroom if one needed to do handwash laundry during the quarantine stay. Unfortunately, the hotel didn't provide any detergent, but we used the provide soap, The bathroom was large with rain showerhead available. The toilet was a bit too high up off the floor for us as we are around 5 ft 8 inches but flushed well. If one's room faced south or east, one would get a good view of Taipei 101. The south side would get a full view, and east side (our room) got the view from the couch in the ”living room” area. The TV was pretty large and we could watch it from our bed comfortably. The only complaint, if any, was that it didn't have as many international channels for this high-end hotel. I wanted Bloomberg, but nothing was offered. Not even CNBC. The WiFi was very fast. The location was convenient. It was near the City Hall MRT (took about 5-7 min

Love this room. Not too small but just enough. The power points provided is already universal, really handy if you forgot to bring your own. The toilet and shower is separated, which is good if 2 person need to use. And the basin is outside, which I think is much more convenient. Location wise is near to XMD, about 15mins walk away, and nearby there’s lots of amnesties like FamilyMart & food shops. Would love to come back again!

We love that the hotel is clean n near Family Mart n 7-11 and is within walking distance to Taipei Main and the High Speed Rail. Raohe night market is just a few stops away. The staffs are friendly and courteuous. We had the family room with 2 double beds. Price was really affordable. We felt safe as only guests istaying in are required to scan their key card to get to their rooms at the lift. Hotel was quiet n peaceful. We were really satisfied with what we have decided on. It was a perfect place for us to stay in for 4 nights in Taipei. No regrets n no complains. It has certainly been a pleasure staying here.

If you are looking at Convenient & spacious room. This is it! Not service or luxury. Location is very close to XMD. Room is spacious. Have a self service coin laundry room, however closes at 10pm and only opens at 10am. The hotel should consider to change the operational timing. Super inconvenient as most tourist will be out for tour at those timing. Seem like they just have the service but not usual able. During check-out, front staff was super busy among themselves. Room is spacious, cleanliness is average. When I checked in my room, there was a patch of gluey,sticky liquid in the carpet near the sofa. Floor curtains and carpets are worn off and dirty especially at the corridor. Overall, stay was good as the location is good, near to train station. Another point, just to take note, if you are travelling by train to the hotel, exit via EXIT4, there’s lift and escalator which is easier if you have stroller or luggage. Is the same distance to the hotel via exit 5 which only have stairs to climb up.

The hotel was very close to Ximending Exit 3 thus making it convenient to use the metro throughout my travel. The room was clean with sufficient amenities such as toothbrush, bottle water, coffee and tea. The shower area was very wide which I totally like. Check in and check out was a breeze.

The hotel’s located in a really nice area where there is the main bus line in front of it and about 10 mins walk to Taipei Main Station. It is also really close to Ximending Walking Street and night market, only 4-5 minutes walk. The staff is nice and welcoming. The hotel doesn’t offer breakfast so in the common area in front of the front desk, there are only few instant noodle packages and some beverage for guests to purchase. They also helped me a lot when I asked if they have a microwave so I can warm up my food. They helped me right away and gave me the nicely warm food in about 10 minutes. So nice of them. The room is quite small imo and not really well furnished as I expected. There’s no closet in the room so they only have a rack hanging above the table which I find pretty weird but amusing to look at. The only thing I have a slight complaint about is the wifi signal. It’s pretty bad in my room (my room is the first room, in the corner). Also, my 5G doesn’t work well in my room even though it worked perfectly outside of the hotel. If you plan to stay a few nights in the center area and just need a room to sleep, I think this hotel is a good choice.

Amazing experience in this hotel, location wise is great. Very close to mrt station (Ximen), or about 15 mins walk to Taipei Main Station. It is also walking distance to ximending area. So many shopping and food. The hotel was rustic with industrial architecture, room was good, and the water pressure was awesome. As for breakfast, yes they serve the same menu everyday, but what do you expect? When traveling, try the local food.

The Grand Hotel is very grand and impressive, with service and amenities top notch. The place is so big, they have golf carts to drive you to the gym/pool area if needed. Clean, great staff and lots of history in this place, however the furniture and fittings are aging just like the hotel itself. Maybe a refresh is needed, or a serious deep carpet clean, and location wise, it's on top of a hill so not very central or that close to an MRT (10 minute walk apparently). If you like taking taxis, or want to impress relatives who live locally, then stay here. I've done it once, but prefer locality over spaciousness, so won't be staying here again.
