Taipei Forward Hotel Nangang Branch — Attraction in Taipei

At first we are quite hesitant to book this hotel because of the photos online and some negative reviews. However, we still decided to book the hotel to experience Nangang District. We arrived at the hotel almost midnight and we greeted by nice and friendly lady. We are very surprised with the following:

Size of the room - bigger than what we expect and the cleanliness is beyond 100%... no foul odor, King size bed are provided Complete of everything that you need in a room The bathroom is super clean with bath tub, Toilet seat is japanese inspired with automatic washlet. With 7 Eleven at the Hotel lobby.

Free breakfast are also provided. Mostly chinese food (of course you are in Taipei) and other dishes like sausage, ham, bread and some korean dishes.

All staff are friendly and helpful. They will provide everything you need. There answer is always positive in all our request. Bottled water are unlimited 😀😀😀.

Thank you to the big guy in the reception area, sorry I forgot to ask for your name. He teach us how to use the automatic washlet. He is fluent in English and super kind and helpful.

This hotel is highly recomended for travellers with limited budget but looking for a good...

as a Quarantine stay hotel:

pros: the staff was very responsive to my messages and requests for things. they were available to me almost 18 hours a day. overall, I enjoyed my stay here, it was clean enough. there was nice enough entertainment on the TV.

cons: the bathroom would leak a little bit of cigarette smoke smell, from neighbors who chain smoke. the walls were a bit thin, so I could hear people coughing pretty loudly, in the rooms next to me. (I hope they didn’t have covid..) it’s ok though, I never caught covid. not in my travels, and not inside this hotel. the internet was a bit slow. I had to use my own 4g cell hotspot…

I stayed in a room without a window. I HIGHLY DON’T RECOMMEND THAT! MISTAKE! you start to hate yourself a bit, after the 5th day, of the 15-day stay. so do yourself a favor, pay the extra money, get a room with window.

would I stay here again? nah. but for a one-time 15-day quarantine? it was decent. clean bathroom, etc....

We stayed at this property during the new year. We realised that's the high season where Taipei's hotel rates sky rocket. We booked this property, as that was a bit away from central Taipei & it was cheaper compared to similar hotels in the city center. After staying here, we only have positive things to say about this property. ||The rooms were good, beds comfortable, neat & clean. The property itself is on a main road (no noise in our rooms though), with convenient access to bus routes to the city center. There's also 2 metro stations nearby (around 10 - 15 mins walk). There's also a 7-11 in the same building. The buffet breakfast was excellent. They had a good variety of vegan options, including fresh fruit & juice. The had a laundry (free for guests) & a few massage chairs (again free to use).||Overall, a memorable stay & we would love...
