Hotels near Eastern Shopping District

"This hotel was better than expected . THE ROOM WAS EXTRAVAGANT HIGH CEILINGS .. electric blinds , electric bathroom frosted glass for privacy. The toilet had a bedet and had a warmed seat , in room safe..Switches on the wall for sleep where every light turns off at once and the blinds close . THE BREAKFAST BUFFET WAS DELICIOUS . Coffee and esspreso machine 24 hours . The staff at the front desk very helpful and friendly ,(Yawen Lee) english was great. The MRT train was just a few steps away and was very easy to use . I was able to travel taiwan ,Taipei in a snap , easy transfers . I was even able to travel to Taipei main station and catch the BULLET TRAIN ... The night market was also a few steps away as well . I will for sure be going back in the future. World gym was just down the street. BEST VACATION EVER !!!!!"

"Excellent location right next to a subway stop that will get you to just about anywhere in Taiwan. Restaurants and convenience stores 10 min walk away. "

"Enjoyed the pool "

"One of the old grand hotels in Taipei that at one time was the best of the best. Still has that old school charm and well maintained. I really like the old bar with the smoking room and the food options are pretty good. I hear that Marriot recently bought the property so I'm very curious to see what they do with the old girl! Staff is very friendly and always helpful. Very good location to get to the trains and a very nice and walkable area. There is a great park nearby for a good morning workout. The breakfast in the morning is adequate. Nothing to wow you, but good enough to start your morning. Great workspace and overall a great old gem! This was my 4th time staying and I would definitely stay again. I hope Marriot doesn't get rid of the cigar room and destroy the bar! That is a classic Taipei bar that should retain a lot of the uniqueness! Looking forward to see what the future holds! "

"Great stay and location."

"Be ready for booking number upon check-in, which threw us off since not one hotel ever asks for that anymore. Efficient check in but staff were indifferent, bordering abrupt and did not share a welcoming environment. By the way, the hallway/lobby had a urine stench 24/7--be ready for that too. Not staying there again. Efficient but very unfriendly so 2/5 at best"

"Nice hotel nested in an upmarket area with fanciful restaurants. Lobby is tastefully done with books for browsing. Spacious bathroom with options for standing shower and bathtub."

"My 3rd time staying in ILLUME. Friendly staff , good service and great location, renovated room and clean, well facilities for family (self serve laundry). Will continue to stay when coming to Taipei again."

"One of the best Hotels in Taipei. Right next to 101 and close to many things. Definitely good 5 Star Hotel in every aspect"
