Expert reviews
“This newish luxury residence is anything but humble; rather it’s hush and hip in beige and purple. Impeccable service, plush rooms, a tad smaller than you’d think for this price but still spacious enough. Gorgeous rooftop swimming pool, large gym and spa.”
“Not only is the hotel directly accessible to Breeze Center, it’s also within walking distance of Taipei City Hall Station, international department store Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, Taipei World Trade Center, the iconic super-tall skyscraper Taipei 101 and a plethora of nightclubs and boutiques, making it an ideal destination for both business and leisure travelers.”
“Humble House offers compact but well-equipped rooms and plum position in the heart of Taipei’s central business district. Unimpeded views of the Taipei 101 and a fabulous art collection help it stand out from the competition nearby.”
