Hotel Eclat, Taipei
More photosExpert reviews
“It’s pricey, but the Hotel Eclat has an élan that no other hotel in Taipei can match. The lobby is adorned with museum-quality-yet-whimsical pieces of art (including a Salvador Dali sculpture). The two on-site restaurants (they provide room service) are genuinely gourmet.”

The staff only greet and show respect to Europeans, which is very different from my first stay 2-3 years ago. I don'

Nothing exceptional except for a good location
The location was great and the staff are generally friendly and helpful.
I stayed in the hotel for 3 nights, headed somewhere else, then returned for another 2 nights. I stayed in room 807 in the first leg and 607 in the second leg. 807 had instructions in Chinese but seemed like a newer room, e.g. the toilet seat was heated, the table lamp was functioning. Room 607 had instructions in English but was more run down. The toilet seat was not heated, it flushes on its own, the lights flickered and the table lamp was “limp” and I couldn’t adjust it to light my face properly. The Aircon’s temperature was impossible to be adjusted for both rooms and I would have liked to have a more heated room.

Special environment for art lovers , good for short stay
Beautiful art work , warm decorations
No black out curtain in the room
Breakfast food all cold and limited choice

I would not pick here again.
Location is good.
Everything is outdated and lack of staff and service. Definitely not a 5-star/luxury level but with a luxury price tag.

The staffs were super friendly and nice. Room was clean and spacious. Lots of art pieces made the stay pleasurable.
Not sure if it was because of low water pressure but I could not enjoy my shower. Did tell reception that it felt like that I was taking shower in Everest and the technician did come to try to solve it, but it remained unsolved. I should have asked them to switch another room so that’s on me.

Lovely hotel generally. Fitting a bit dated but still ok. Service just inexcusably bad this time.
My favorite hotel in Taipei. Stayed there probably at least 50 times over the last few years. Interesting design, good location, but something clearly was amiss this time.
The service was really disappointing this time. Checking in was chaos and took a long time, and they even forgot my car to the airport!

Old hotel requires some improvement of the bed.
Location was convenient to get around Taipei.
Bed was old and already lost the support. During checkin, staff was a little rude. However was much better during checkout. There are no facilities in the hotel as it is a small hotel.

Perfect in Every Way
We prefer non-generic boutique hotels with responsive personal service, large and comfortable rooms with topnotch amenities, charm and atmosphere.
Hotel Eclat exceeded our expectations on every one of these counts. We loved the quirky decor; the large high-ceilinged room with high-tech controls; the exceptionally comfortable bed, pillows and linens; the happy hour discount on drinks in the marvelous bar; and, at least as importantly, the service. We needed an English-speaking private driver to tour four of us from Taipei to Shifen, Pingxi and Joufen and then return us to our cruise ship in Keelung. Between our checkin and bedtime, the front desk had arranged it all. We could not have been happier.

just ok
clean and location was good
2 single beds offered for 2 adults and 1 kid. Unbelievable

clean room, but incompatible power outlets, and too expensive.
The room was very clean and I liked the bidet toilet
The power outlets were completely incompatible with traditional outlets. I ended up having to go to a nearby restaurant in order to charge my phone.
Also the hotel was way overpriced. $190 for one night, for no breakfast? It wasn't even worth $90 a night.

Great location
Great location!
Our room had a nice view and the hotel is very centrally located, walking distance to Taipei 101 (around 15min). Very close to a subway station that allows you to move easily across the city.
We would have like slightly more spacious room.

Ambience Hotel, Taipei
Frommers“Most of the furnishings, walls, and floors are done in a dazzling, shiny white. Guestrooms are divided into standard, deluxe, elite, and suite, but the only difference between the first two—besides price—is the addition of a bathtub along with the standard shower stall.”
Humble House, Taipei
Lonely Planet + 2 more“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.”
Villa 32, Taipei
