Royal Inn Taipei Linsen - Huashan 1914 Creative Park

The breakfast buffet mainly showcased steamed buns, boiled pork sausages, stir-fried noodles and vegetables, three types of breads that could be toasted, ham, cheese, fruits and pickled veggies. Another egg dish option would be great. Only hard-boiled eggs were available during our stay. There was a couple of cereal options, as well as milk, coffee and juice. We liked that they had sustainable practices in place. The water fountain located on the landing of each floor (it gives both hot and cold water) was a great way to avoid offering bottled water in the rooms. You also request for bath amenities from the Reception, as they do not provide disposable amenities in the room. There were shampoo and shower gel in refillable containers inside the shower. The best bit is the Japanese toilet which had a heated seat! The Front Office staff were amazing. We requested assistance in booking a taxi for a day tour and it took no time at all to confirm. They also spoke English, probably the only ones in the hotel. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. Location was great and Uber drivers didn't have problems finding it. It was also a few minutes ride from the places we wanted to visit. 5 mins from Miniatures Museum of Taiwan 6 mins from Lin Dong Fang (beef noodle shop) 7 mins from Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial and Ningxia Night Market 11 mins from Ximending and Dihua Street 12 mins from Raohe Street Night Market and Shilin Night Market

Friendly & helpful staff. Good breakfast. What I like is a lot of cooked veg. would be good if provide more fruits. Room is pretty big.

Clean and comfortable beds and bathroom. Friendly and helpful staff. We needed to shift from one room to another during our stay, and they arranged for the second room to be available without any gap, although they were two separate bookings. The "family room" has a great shower. The shower and the toilet are each in a separate "stall" with the sink in an open area opposite so they can be used at the same time, which turned out to matter more often than I might have expected. It's worth noting that the sink area doesn't have a door or curtain, so there isn't a lot of privacy for that space. Zhongshan is in the center of the city, so everything is reachable, and both the green and red lines come to that metro. The metro stop is a ten minute walk, which could feel long-ish in the heat; the Nanjing & Linsen intersection bus stop was notably closer, and there's a stop on Linsen road for other routes as well. Breakfast was convenient and included a mix of western and Taiwanese dishes. The laundry machines on site were a welcome amenity as well.

- Room size is adequate - Comfortable bed - Quiet when windows are closed - very clean - Wi-Fi is fast and reliable

Rooms were clean and spacious. The kind staff helped us with the laundry when we didn’t know how to operate it. Housekeeping services were also great, overall a good experience and pleasant staff :)
