Hotel Leisure Beitou — Hotel in Taipei

Stayed here for several days while having meetings nearby. I stayed in a Standard Double Room.||||The hotel is just across the road from the MRT station, which is very convenient.||||However, the neighborhood does not have lots of good eating places, which can be an inconvenient for guests (the hotel's restaurant does not serve any food after breakfast). If you want choices, you will have to take the MRT to the next station (Beitou station), or even to New Beitou station. There is a 7-Eleven just around the corner, and some other convenient stores nearby, so you can get some snacks easily.||||The neighborhood felt a little like a small town, and was quiet at night, so there's no worry of noise at night. ||||The room was quite small, but modern, well-maintained, and well laid out. The bed and pillow was comfortable. The room was well-lid, and the large window allows natural light to come in. There is a big window between the bathroom and the bedroom, which makes the room appear bigger than it was (you can lower a blind to create some privacy if needed).||||While the facilities were generally good, there were deficiencies in the details. For example, there were only 3 hangers in the wardrobe, and I had to ask the front desk to send more. There were no other storage space in the room, no drawers and other storage space for you to organize your stuff (so you'll literally have to lay out your stuff in the wardrobe, within the limited rack space). The desk does not have a drawer either.||||The bathroom was very well lit, which was good. However, there wasn't any hook on the walls for you to hang your cloths. You could put your cloths with the towels on the rack, or you could place them on the shelf under the sink, but both were really not good options.||||Breakfast was basically Chinese-style: Chinese buns, porridge, vegetables, etc. If you don't like those, your only other options are bread, butter/jam, fruits, and eggs. Breakfast is served from 6:30am, which is great if you want an early start to the day.||||During my stay there were not a lot of other guests, so the place was relatively quiet. During two of the days there were other guests who were apparently from mainland China, and they talked loud, made a mess, smoked in their room and filled the hallway with cigarette smoke (smoking is not allowed in the hotel, actually).||||Wifi was generally good. For unknown reason, though, the wifi on the floor where I stayed kept dropping out, and I had to ask the front desk to rectify the problem (this was a daily occurrence).||||Hotel staff were generally friendly and helpful.||||Overall, I had a pleasant stay. Could have given the hotel a better rating, if not for the details (which created inconveniences) that I...

Hotel is right across from Fuxinggang train station. If you notice one of my pics, outside the window of hotel you can see the train station. Very quiet and peaceful street. Double twin room has mini fridge, tea kettle, decent sized TV, hair dryer, corner shower, outlets on sides each bed. There is free parking next to hotel, although spaces are limited. See pictures. Linens are clean and feels like high thread count. The mattress is quite hard though. I think a memory foam topper would make it more supportive and comfortable. Frontdesk staff speaks decent English and personable and helpful. Breakfast is free 6:30am-10am. There is a small computer station in lobby. Room has balcony although it is locked. It looks like it’s only used for storage of AC units. No self-service laundry machines. Overall I am very happy with the booking. It was reasonably priced for what I needed: 10 mins drive to Beitou hot springs and Yangmingshan national park. Around the corner Zhongyang north road has 7-11 convenience store, coffee shops, Pique Nique sandwich and steak shop, many authentic Taiwanese...

Dec 2023 update. Worse than before. Not sure we’ll come again. Wi-Fi in room is very poor. no outlets by bed for charging the phone sewer smell when we got off the elevator and, room has a slight unpleasant odor no nightlight still no breakfast option

Nice, new, clean, quite, convenient location. Wife loves our room layout. They called it a suite since it had a partition between bed and desk/ closet area. Has small refrigerator. Bathroom has enclosed shower. Room was given as upgrade to accommodate a handicap. Comfortable bed. Good AC unit. The negatives: two years ago they gave free breakfast. Now they say none due to Covid. But they said we can buy breakfast from the coffee shop that is in their breakfast area! It would be better to just say they don’t give breakfast. not enough staff. Quite often (and same happened two years ago when we stayed) the front desk was empty so we had to wait. Last night we waited...
