Palais de Chine Hotel, Taipei

Decor. Friendly and attentive staff. Rooms and beds very comfortable and spacious. Location right nxt to mall and station very convenient. Quiet.

Toilet cubicle seemed clean but smelled a bit maybe from drainage hole next to toilet. Need more places in bathroom area behind privacy curtain to hang or place things like toiletries or change of clothes.

This boutique hotel offers exceptional service with clean and quiet rooms, comfortable beds and bedding and the location really cant be beat. The Palais is located on the first floor of the Q Square as part of Taipei Main Transportation Station. So from here you can conveniently walk to various places that easily connect you to the MRT, HSR, or bus routes. You will have easy walking access to all the shops and restaurants and eateries in the huge station. Staying here allowed us to recover from jetlag and while being able to explore things on our own without the need for going 'out' 'out' into the hot and humid weather, we could stay within the building and maneuver thru the corridors underground that connect everything together. The breakfast buffet offers plenty of choices and was a relaxing place to reset. caffeine and begin the day. Will definitely stay here again.

The bathroom in the room, doesn't have a door that goes from floor to ceiling, so theres a gap top and bottom. Giving school bathroom stall vibes. So if you have shy bowel syndrome, and are staying with a companion, this might be a tiny ick. There are very nice restrooms in the lobby area by the restaurants, and on the gym level as well that are fully enlcosed.

The room was lovely and we particularly liked the XL King bed and being able to step out on the little balcony. When allocating us the room they took into account my special request of not being next to an elavator which was much appreciated. The room had enough space to comforatbly place our open luggage and belongings. There was a safe which is always handy. There were coffee and tea making facilities, but the little coffee bags provided were useless, a good thing we still had some coffee left over which we had bought at the supermarket. The hotel is in a great central location right next to Taipei Main Station. We did have a comfortable stay. Considering this is a five star hotel we had hoped there would be a simple bar where a nice glass of white wine and a beer could be enjoyed. Unfortunately not.

Great location with great restaurants and also great staff

One of the best hotels I have stayed in anywhere in the world, not least due to Cindy Huang’s astounding service.

Absolutely nothing.

Service was top notch, every single staff we met was friendly and courteous, they let us leave our bags for 2 nights after checking out even though we weren’t returning to stay at the hotel, which was highly appreciated. The bathroom was very good, our family quad room had both a bath tub and a separate shower and separate toilet. Great water pressure and temperature control. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for our family of 4 and our 3 suitcases. Location couldn’t be better, just cross the pedestrian bridge to get to the train station. There is a big shopping mall QSquare right next door too.

Nothing at all

Great rooms & location, couldn't have had a better experience.

Special thanks to Andy for his excellent hospitality and for the kind gifts.

Great location. Very central to the main station which is the nerve centre of Taipei easy to get to from the MRT through a shopping Centre. Very comfortable bed and nice room. They are focused on everything a good Hotel should. Very comfortable bed good quality linen easy to work Aircon good shower and bath. There is a very nice salon on the 17th floor which is remarkably relaxing.

The breakfast were a little disappointing. Beautifully laid out and considered, but the hot western options were often cold or tepid at best. The best option is to order the omelette which has to be made from a fresh and probably had the most flavour. The hotel also is proud of its gloomy atmosphere but a little more light in parts would’ve been beneficial.

Customer service was excellent, polite and friendly

Don't know how to control the lighting

Nice theme hotel, detailed oriented for occult geeks, feel almost like a hidden premium cave, position next to the main station and stylish interiors, great to have a saloon and dinner available for free if you book an executive room!

Breakfast is good but not great, 2 days are enough, especially if you’re there during the sunny season!

Spacious room

Lighting too romantic for family

Location was very convenient.

Rooms are spacious compared with other hotels. Closed to restaurants, trains, bus station.

Everything, convenient location next to Main station
Good Breakfast choices
Lovely staff
Spacious and luxurious rooms

More hot meal choices for breakfast

Location was excellent. Staff was very attentive.

Had a small issue with an electrical outlet that was fixed, and the vanity sink was partially blocked but resolved quickly.

3rd stay - great location and wonderful staff. Breakfast excellent.

Gym too small and gets crowded

Liked the big bathtub in the room. Spacious.

Despite i paid up still was not allowed into the exec floor lounge.

Second stay here over the Chinese new year this time. Clearly much busier & staff more frazzled! Remains an excellent buffet for breakfast although staff need to replace items when they run out!

More staff on duty needed over known busy periods

Amazing hotel and staff

Old but very clean

Little rustic for my taste

Next to the Train station and Bus station and also next to a Mall with a great food court

I wish the regular room have private bathrooms with doors instead of a curtain! So I had to upgrade and pay more to have a private bathroom

Great and well maintained property

Nothing

Great location by main station
Efficient staff
Clean room
Excellent breakfast
Would definitely return

Gym was too small with no area for yoga mat work making it very crowded in the mornings

Everything was just perfect. the whole staff Ato Z was superb under any possible criteria, we upgraded the room and it was a dream, the dining room and the variety of the food in the morning was outstanding. close to main station and easy to access fro qto anywhere

Old style luxury, very comfortable
Attentive staff
Huge breakfast buffet with local and international food selection

Room service and shower was amazing! Took the AirPort Express MRT from this hotel - 5 min walk!

Nothing

Amazing location: once it took me 8 minutes from the lobby to the platform of HSR Taipei Main Station.
Fantastic Breakfast options: one of the best if not THE BEST in Taipei City Area.
A Nice Bar after work.

Frontdesk has been very helpful and solved all the problems I had with flight cancellation of my guests.

Perfect solution for business travel in greater TPE area.

The room could have been lit-up a bit more or at least an option when more light is needed?

Staff are amazing. Relaxed and calming rooms.

Beds are very hard but we got the staff to get us another quilt/doona to use on top of the base sheet which made it more comfortable

Outstanding service with all the friendly and professional staffs, clean and with a good view of Taipei main station

Nothing

Place is clean at a very convenient location. Easy access to anywhere with any transportation.

Nothing. Rooms are clean and hotel service is perfect.Food are very very tasty and inexpensive at all. Will definitely come back to Taiwan again.

Good location and good foods. Hotel staffs are very nice and helpful.

Room is not big enough and can hear the noice during the quiet mid-night and early morning.

The location is excellent right across the road from Taipei Main Station.

The low mood lighting sets the scene but can be difficult to see things sometimes. The bed is hard but that is Asia.

The Palais de Chine is in a very convenient location in the heart of Taipei. The rooms and facilities are clean, comfortable, and beautifully styled—overall, an exceptional experience. I would also like to mention that the staff were professional and incredibly courteous. I’d like to specifically thank Andy for being so kind and thoughtful; he is a fantastic member of the concierge team. If you are visiting Taipei, I highly recommend staying here.

Location! And the nice room with a view.

The corridors and the breakfast room were pretty dark. Dark wood, dark floor. It’s not unappealing but during breakfast it felt a bit depressing.
