東龍大飯店
East Dragon is a good place to be if you want to stay around Xi Men Ding area. The hotel is located across the ximen walker area, so you have easy access but don't have to deal with the buzz. The charm lies on the warmth of the receptionists, they are so helpful. Although they would prefer to communicate in Mandarin, they know Hokkien/MinNan and a little English.
Clean and spacious rooms too. Pillows and sheets were crisp.
For those traveling light - They provide Hygiene products in bathroom / slippers, hairdryer in room.
They offer free WIFI but we asked for LAN cable since it was a bit slow.
Unique Quality: NOTE: To those with limited chinese. pls make sure you have the chinese name and address of the hotel you will be staying. This will help you board the correct bus at the airport.
東龍大飯店 (East Dragon Hotel)
地址:台北市漢口街二段 23 號 (Address:No.23, Sec.2, Han Kou St., Taipei)
From Taoyuan International Airport, you can board a bus that drops you off straight at East Dragon entrance for about 140NTD. You DON'T NEED to go to Taipei Main and transfer to Ximen MRT.
Breakfast is nothing to rave about. They serve plated per person. (2 eggs, slice of ham, bread, orange juice, coffe/tea). If you prefer to eat breakfast here. Get up a bit earlier for it. A lot of the guest have to queue for a table. Also they may ask you to share a table with other guests due to small space.
Plus points for me, who drinks water like a camel, is the water dispenser they have available on each floor for the hotel guests. This is aside from the 2 water bottles they provide daily per room. It has cold/warm/hot as preference for drinking and late night ramen snacking....
