Dandy Hotel, Taipei

Great stuff, very helpful and responsive

Most staffs are friendly and eager to help. Location is excellent, close to shopping, restaurants, and subways. We booked the largest room so we can have luggage open. Breakfast changes daily if you like Chinese cuisine.

1.bath towels though clean can be refreshed. 2.the street underground sewage right outside of front door smells. It’s government responsibility I suppose.

Very clean. Staff is super helpful and sweet.

Breakfast was okay. I wish there were more options.

Service was top notch, quality of breakfast food was good (small spread but taste yummy), water pressure in the shower was good.

Pillow was slightly uncomfortable but this is also subjective.

Such welcoming staff, making the guest feel immediately relaxed and at home! Although the hotel is in a lively area with restaurants and bars just a few steps away, our rooms were quiet and restful (although a second chair would have been a bonus). The hotel is quite small so we did not expect the expansive breakfast of an international chain hotel. But there was amazing variety and every day many of the dishes were changed. All were delicious (yes I tried a little of everything). An exceptional effort! This is truly an outstanding hotel with wonderful staff!

More plugs for charging devices would improve the amenity of rooms.

Location

No wardrobe for clothes. Room 203

We recently stayed at The Dandy Hotel in Taipei and we were really impressed! Despite being a 3-star hotel, the service was definitely at a 4-star level. The staff went above and beyond – they even gave us a courtesy call for checkout time without us asking, and were super flexible with storing our bags before and after our stay. The room itself was a pleasant surprise. It was much bigger than what you typically get in Taipei, and spotlessly clean. The bed was really comfortable and we slept great – it was nice and quiet too. The bathroom was a highlight with amazing shower pressure and lovely lemongrass-scented toiletries. Just a heads up though – the shower is over the bath, which was quite narrow. There's a handrail to help you get in and out, but it might be tricky for older travelers. One thing I loved was being able to open the window for fresh air, though don't expect any views. The location was really convenient, just a short walk to the station. Breakfast was pretty average overall, but they did have some nice cakes. Oh, and if you're looking for last-minute gifts, they have some cute items like soaps and keyrings at reception – really came in handy for me! The only real downside was the breakfast not being anything special, but honestly, everything else made up for it. The fantastic service, clean and comfortable room, and convenient location make this place a gem. I'll definitely be staying here again next time I'm in Taipei!

The room was a bit cold but a heater was delivered to the room immediately when we phoned reception.

Fun place to be in a busy city.

The small boutique hotel and the staff which is young and upbeat.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful during our stay. They were polite and responded to our queries. The location was just around the corner from the main shops. The bed was comfortable and the bathrooms were really clean. We got a free upgrade to a spacious room with a balcony, which we really appreciated.

Good location, walkable area: restaurants and stores. In the right area where tours will come and pick you up. Very clean and quiet 24 hour staff

Location

Small lift

Super friendly staff, trendy hotel room, great free breakfast and free laundry facilities. Great value for money!

Great location, close to Zhongshan MRT, plethora of food and drink choices and countless of shops. Walking distance to the famous night market. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. They go above and beyond to help us with our inquiries. The washing machine and dryer facility is a plus. They change the breakfast menu everyday so we didn’t feel sick of it even though we stayed there for nearly a week. The facilities and room at every clean.

Downside: The room is a bit too small for my expectation. When we opened our suitcases, there isn’t any place to walk. The view was pretty much the wall of next door building.

The staff was amazing! They were so excited to help me plan my day visiting the nearby national park! And the location is great! Very walkable to so much food and shopping!

I loved it all!

Amazing location in the heart of Zhongshan area. Great hospitality and attentive staff, large bright balcony rooms, good breakfast.

Not all rooms have views out the window, we had originally booked the business room but it was smaller and the windows open into the adjacent building wall. We had then asked to switch to the balcony room and the staff were very attentive and helpful in that transition.

Clean room Very friendly and helpful staff Nice hotel restaurant/common room that can be used whole day

There was a smell in the room that couldn’t be ventilated

Good location. Cleanliness. Comfortable bed and pillows. Good breakfast.

Location,cleanliness, breakfast and also has a free laundry / dryer you can use. Walking distance coming from the airport by train easily takes about 10 mins , lots of places to have dinner, also great for shopping too.

Nothing

Great location, close to the metro. Comfortable for a short stay. Friendly staff.

The breakfast selection was rather limited. I chose a room with balcony, but the balcony was very small and looked over an alleyway so there was not much to look at.

Nice hotel with very helpful staff, room well equipped, perfect location in the downtown.

Air condotioners on (side) street side loud.

Good

Simple clean great breakfast

Nothing

The breakfast is sooo good 🤤🤤🤤 best breakfast, believe me!! The staff is very friendly 😇 the location is good

Bed is a bit bumpy 🤔

The best part was the breakfast! So much variety between eastern/western options and each day was different and delicious. We were the first ones to breakfast every morning lol.

The room was a bit small and it was hard to move around. But we were hardly in the room anyways so it was fine.

Great location, great staff

Just 5-10 min walk from either Zhongshan metro or Taipei main station. Easy to locate. Very friendly and helpful staff. Their hospitality is exceptional. Room is big, clean and comfortable. The breakfast is superb. Hotel provides generous snacks and supper too. Very grateful to the hotel for providing free laundry especially during the hot summer. Felt relax, comfortable and just like being at home during the entire stay. Special thanks to Kim from the front desk for all the recommendations in Taipei.

Soundproofing is not so good. Air condition temperature not easy to control.

Many freebies included with the room from the buffet breakfast to the laundry and dryer to snacks all day long including cup noodles for late nights. Weighing scale at the lobby for luggages and super attention to detail as they surprised one of my guest with a birthday cake as they noted his birthday during check in. Extremely happy with everything.

Room had a chlorine smell but that's only proof of the extensive cleaning of the room.

Nice breakfast with a lot of selections. Location of the hotel is very convenient, it is close to MRT red and green lines.

Very fresh local food and plentyfull. Every day something different. They also have free snacks tea and coffe available at all times

We have no complaint

Good location for us in a good local location. Comfortable beds and quiet. Very helpful staff, all of them were excellent. Good local simple food restaurant opposite and restaurants and shops nearby.

great location and breakfast

- The ladies at the front are very nice and sweet. They helped us with many things, ex. calling us when the pick-up shuttle driver could not find us at the airport, playing with our son, bringing us towel and baby stuffs when they realised we have little kid staying with us, booking a shuttle to the airport, offering us water and snacks during our stay, and carried our bags to the shuttle van after we checked out and etc. How sweet they are!! - The hotel also surprised my mother with a birthday cake on her birthday!!! - The hotel provides bottles of water, tea., cofffee, and snacks for the guests every afternoon. And if you are hungry at late night, they have instant noodle cups for you at the front. Wowww!!! - Breakfast was also very good for us as we are Asian, so we quite love the eastern style breakfast here, for example, boiled rice with 3-4 stir-fried dishes. the hotel also changed the menu of the stir fried-dishes every morning, so the breakfast was not boring for us (who had stayed here for 4 nights) at all. The desserts, ex, cakes and cream roll, are also in good quality as if we are eating at some cafe. By the way, dont expect American Breakfast, its all about Asian style food with a few western style food, i.e., some breads and salad, but we are happy anyway. The 2 ladies at the bf restaurants are very nice too. They took good care of the guests during bf and loved playing with our son :D - The location is great!! Few mins walk to Shinkong Mitsugoshi Nanxi, Eslite Spectrum Nanxi, Zhongshan MTR. Around the hotel are restaurants, 7-11, Bakery cafe. - Travellers can also use Taiwan Lucky Land-accommodation voucher of 5000NTD here too.

- No chage of glasses in the bathroom during our 4-night stay. - we used some coffee cups and left them on the table since our 1st night, but no change of the cup until the last night that the new cups were provided. - The air condition is quite difficult to be adjusted. You need to stand right in front of the air condition and carefully use a remote control to change the temp. You should not stand somewhere else, otherwise the temp will not be changed. Besides, you should be sure that there is a sound of the air con working (very quite) because the remote control may still show that the air con is working, everthough it is actually on turn off mode.

Location, facilities, breakfast

None

Great location. Lots of places to ear nearby. Really good breakfast.

Street was a little noisy during the evening.

Again the best place in Taipei for us!

It was just perfect.

Very good breakfast, very well positioned as a location.

A very nice and welcoming hotel. Super well placed. From the reception, the breakfast to housekeeping staff, everybody gives the best to help you and makes yourself comfortable. The breakfast is delicious and different every day. The best hotel I've stayed at Taipei.

Fantastic! great location, helpful staff.

The staff is exceptionally helpful and enthusiastic. For example, I needed to reserve bus tickets, which is ridiculously complicated, involving both online procedures and procedures at a kiosk in a Family Mart convenience store that far exceeded my limited Chinese reading ability. One of the men at the reception desk accompanied me to the local Family Mart and spent a lot of time figuring it out and purchasing the tickets. A pleasant surprise was the 24-hour self-serve laundry room in the building. The hotel is a 5-minute walk to Zhongshan MRT station, which is a good station if you want to use the MRT subway system. Taipei Main Station is within walking distance. The hotel provides unlimited bottled water, which is important in Taipei.

Such a good find of hotel we really enjoyed our stay The reception stuff was so helpful and super lovely The room is a good size and the bed is comfortable

There was no window in our room

Very nice people to welcome me. Easy luggage storage service while waiting for the room. Nice breakfast and clean room.

Too bad that the room wasn't available before 3.00pm (arrival by flight really early in the morning)

The staff especially kim Was most helpful and kind

Kim the receptionist was exceptional in making sure our needs were met. She went above and beyond.

Everything from the staff to the location to the hotel itself was perfect! Highly recommended if you're planning a trip to Taipei.

I loved the outstanding friendly service (especially by Kim) and the spacious rooms that we had. The breakfast that was provided was also delicious and there was a great selection too!

That we only had a short stay :p

I LOVE the staff. They were friendly And helpful, knowledgeable and has great self-initiative. We interacted with Kim, Amanda and Sean. They were wonderful. Ever polite, friendly and helpful. We also love the cleanliness, practical setup of this place. They are considerate of a traveler’s needs : namely the need for a friendly face, clean laundry, clean bed and sheets, a clean bathroom, hot shower and crisp towels! Cable TV was a bonus!

A tastier cup of coffee would be good. Warmer food in the buffet breakfast warm food section would be a bonus! Nonetheless, these are minor details.

Wonderful hotel,great location and highly recommended. The reception staff were very hospitable and friendly, special thanks to Caroline, Amanda and Kim for their insightful tips, advices and positive energy! I would definitely come back again !. Thank you so much for providing a great service and making our staying memorable!.

Location and friendliness of the day staff.

The night staff was not as friendly.

This was one of my best hotel stay experiences so far. A special shoutout to Kim at the reception and the whole staff crew, definitely the best staff experience I've seen during my trips around the world. The breakfast was decent enough considering the normal standards of Taipei hotels. The location is awesome near the Zhongsan MRT station and many night life + shopping options nearby. I can highly recommend the larger room with balcony, offers really nice views of the nearby streets.

Maybe only the price could be a bit lower for the given rooms, but this of course depends a lot on the date you traveling. The breakfast could have a bit wider range of options, but for me it was already decent enough compared to my previous stays in Taipei.
