About a 7-minute walk from Banqiao Station, convenient transportation. The room is clean, but they don't provide a mobile phone charging cable, so remember to bring your own. They provide a water bottle so you can fill it at the water dispenser. There is a large hot bath on the 17th floor, and there are some nice restaurants nearby.

we’ll surely be back! hotel location: 30 to 40 mins away from the city. but if you want peace after a long day, this is the best option for you. 💜
breakfast: no served breakfast, but they have free toast bread in the morning + jam and butter! 🍞it doesn’t end there… they also provide free coffee, tea, soup, oatmeal, crackers, and ice cream! this helped us fuel our energy before doing a full day itinerary ☺️
service: 💯
transport access: 5 to 10 mins away from the bus stops. just a short walk with lots of stores in the area, including 7-11 and family mart 👌🏻
cleanliness: room is always clean and the linens smell good 🍃

This hotel is conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from the Banqiao Station West Exit. With self-service check-in and check-out, it's possible to complete everything without any interaction with hotel staff. There's a 7-Eleven vending machine on the first floor, so you can do your shopping within the building. Water dispensers are available on each floor. The soundproofing is a bit lacking, so if there's a noisy guest in a nearby room, it can be bothersome. I plan to use this hotel again the next time I visit Taipei.

It was a fantastic experience. Even though we stayed in a small room, we could still feel how clean and elegant it was. For a hotel by the sea, I think it's excellent. The actual condition of the hotel doesn't differ much from the photos, so I highly recommend staying there. The breakfast was also very rich and varied.

If you arrive early, you can check in first and leave your luggage at the front desk, then you can go explore the park. This time, we stayed in a triple room in the main building. The room was spacious, and there's an outdoor pool. To enjoy the hot springs (Beauty Soup), you'll need to go to the Xunfeng Hall, which has outdoor pools and private hot spring rooms. Breakfast, the children's play area, and the e-sports zone are all located in the Prince Hall.

I've always loved it here. The parking lot is spacious, the staff are polite, there's delicious food, a mall for shopping, and even a movie theater—it's amazing! This is Taiwan's first hotel brand to partner with France, so we really need to support it. 🥰

We had a wonderful stay at York Hotel during our trip to Taipei. The location was very convenient, with easy access to MRT stations, restaurants, convenience stores, and popular tourist spots. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring the city. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and always willing to help whenever we had questions. Check-in and check-out were also smooth and hassle-free. Overall, the hotel offered great value for money and made our Taipei experience even better. We would definitely recommend this hotel to other travelers visiting Taipei.

The room is large and comfortable, and the two-bathroom design is perfect for a family of four. The water dispenser is a bit far, making it inconvenient to get water. It felt great to enjoy breakfast with an ocean view in the morning. There are many facilities and massage chairs, so everyone in the family, from young to old, can find something suitable to enjoy. The nude hot spring felt just average. It's very close to bike rentals and Fulong bento, making it an ideal place for a two-day, one-night stay.
