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.

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.

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 hotel's environment and cleanliness were excellent, and there was no noise heard from the room. There are also free washing machines and dryers available on the top floor, and free snacks, a beverage dispenser, and tea bags on the first floor. The transportation is also very convenient. I will definitely stay here again if I have the chance.

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.

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.

The Banqiao Fu Du Hotel boasts an excellent location, close to Fuzhong MRT Station and Nanya Night Market. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well soundproofed, offering great value. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Although the decor has a more classic feel, the delicious and abundant breakfast, combined with convenient transportation, still makes it a top choice for both business and leisure travelers!
