The Tango Taipei ChangAn — Hotel in Taipei

Pros Close to the train station Walkable to a lot of restaurant, minimarts, and bar Easy area to hail a cab or book an Uber Room is large Restroom is spacious and shampoo/bodywash smell nice There is a USA outlet actually in the restroom (hard to find in Asian countries) The bidet is very nice. Automatic seat warmer, opener, and flush option. The TV has decent channels, including HBO Max. Hotel has a desk, safety deposit box, big screen TV, mini fridge, and microwave. Also, there is a pocket door that can separate the bedroom/restroom from the sitting area/desk. Restroom has a rainshower and whirlpool tub. Bedsheets are soft. Relatively quiet.

Cons No door greeter. Expect to bring in your own bags and open your own door each time. The single elevator can be slow. I recommend booking on the 2nd floor and expect to use the stairs. The internet is spotty. It will not work all the time. The room has a smell to it. After a complaint, they provided an air purifier, which did not seem to cure the smell. The room does not have a heater! After a complaint, they confirmed that it did not have a heater and provided a portable heater. Although the room was spacious, my butt was in front of the heater most of the time. (It gets really cold in Taiwan so why this place does not have a heater is beyond me). Like most hotels in Asia, the lighting in the restroom...

I picked Tango ChangAn Hotel as my quarantine hotel. And it was an overall pleasant experience!

Pros The staff are extremely helpful. I was on US west coast hours and working at night over the course of my stay. The staff delivered my UberEats orders around the clock. No matter day or night. They always delivered my order to my room swiftly after my order arrived The room is spacious, clean and has everything you need for the quarantine. Unlimited supply of bottled water, computer chair, coffee machine & capsules, fridge, media console & hub, and an amazing tub. Did I mention an AMAZING TUB?

Cons the fridge is the wackiest fridge I have ever used!! I don’t know how to properly describe it but the cooling mechanic is a weird metal plate in the fridge, and it is not efficient at its one job: keeping the fridge cold all the time. The design of the bathroom sink and faucet is gorgeous…BUT it is functionally flawed. I almost flooded my bath once because I didn’t close the faucet all the way, and the design of the sink can’t actually catch dripping water. the tub was amazing but unfortunately the massage function wasn’t working in my room.

Overall, I am very impressed by the good service aside from a couple of hiccups on...

If it’s necessary to be shut inside for 14 days for quarantine, this is a great hotel to do it at. What initially attracted me to this hotel is that they have a comfortable office chair to sit on whereas a lot of other hotels have an uncomfortable hard chair. The staff are friendly and attentive when communicating using Line. Once when I had milk delivered, the staff proactively put it in their refrigerator until the designated delivery time to my room. The design of the room feels modern and comfortable, a place that I would want to stay. It is nice to take a bath before bed to relax the body and fall asleep more easily. The free nespresso coffee along with the nespresso machine, free tian ren Ming cha tea, free powdered milk tea, and free high mountain oolong loose leaf tea make the stay a lot more bearable. A few times, the hotel unexpectedly provided free afternoon tea snacks. The large window let’s natural sunlight into the room, definitely necessary to get over jetlag. Being able to turn on and off all the lights in the room on a panel next to the bed is a great feature. There is also a bose...
