My flight from Manila to Taoyuan International Airport took almost two hours. I rode Airport Bus #1819 which took me straight to Taipei Main Station (last stop). The ride took another 1 hour without heavy traffic. I just knew from research that Next Taipei Hotel Ximending is very near Ximen Station and located in the heart of Taipei's shopping district.

Next Taipei Hotel Ximending in Wanhua District, Ximending, Taipei, Taiwan, is located literally about 300 meters from Exit 6 of Ximen Station. Ximending is one of the busiest places in Taipei and is among Taiwan's premier shopping destinations. This is where you can find lots of clothing lines, skin care, fashionable items. a lot of varieties of delicious street foods, and more.

The reception is at the ninth floor of the building and its design seems more like a boutique hotel. To check in, I handed out my passport for identity reference and booking voucher (printed from Agoda.com). The receptionist gave me the key card and guided me to my room.

AMBIANCE

Next Taipei Hotel Ximending's ambiance and interior design looked neat, stylish, and modern. I stayed in the mixed room. The sheets were clean and the pillow was okay.

In the bathroom, there is a separator between the toilet and the shower area. Toiletries consisted of hair shampoo, conditioner and liquid bath soap. Bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste. It was quite disappointing that the bath towels provided were smaller than the regular size. They appeared more like a cross between a face towel and a floor mat.

Anyway, I was happy that fast Wi-Fi internet connection could be accessed everywhere in the hotel and there were so many routers and hot spots available. Room slippers were placed nicely by the door. The cabinets for clothes and stuff were positioned outside the bed. Still secured as they provide security lock for the cabinet.

SERVICE

Security at the guesthouse was lenient. The main door would be locked after 11pm, so guests would have to tap the access card to enter the hotel. Reception is open 24 hours so you have nothing to worry even if you arrived late at night or too early in the morning. Hotel staff members know how to speak in English and Chinese. There's no problem in conversing with them. They were accommodating and friendly in answering questions.

FOOD

I booked the hotel room with free breakfast. Happily, the food is beyond expectation and I was very much satisfied on their complimentary breakfast menu. They serve rice meals, noodles, various dishes, bread with jams, unlimited drinks from coffee to milk tea and other juices. Guests are free to use utensils, plates, cups, bowls and other things in the kitchen/dining area. Microwave and refrigerator can also be used by all.

One of the best deal is their 24 hours food supply of bread with jams (peanut butter and chocolate) and drinks like coffee and water.




VALUE FOR MONEY

When searching for a convenient and accessible budget hotel that's near the subway station and within Taipei's shopping district, Next Taipei Hotel Ximending is the Best Choice. It's a small homey place in Taipei. Room Types offered are: Single Bed Dormitory Room, Double Bed Dormitory Room, and bunk bed for four pax. I got a promo in Agoda and paid about NTD364 per night, very cheap right? All in all, price for value is fair.

OVERALL

- 24 hours food supply
- located near subway station to easily access Tourist Destination
