Understanding the Taipei Main Station Map
Taipei Main Station is not just one building. It is a large transport complex made up of several stations, underground passages, malls and bus terminals.

Taipei Bus Station
Taipei Bus Station is located north of the main railway building, beside Q Square. It serves intercity buses travelling to destinations outside central Taipei.
Check your bus company, floor and boarding platform carefully because different operators may use different areas.
Underground Shopping Areas

Zhongxiao Dunhua Commercial Area Taipei|0.44km from city center
The Howard Plaza Hotel has an excellent location, very close to Daan Forest Park and Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT Station. The surrounding area has a full range of amenities and is very safe. The staff are attentive and friendly. As an older hotel, the facilities are a bit dated, and the room decor has a classic, slightly old-fashioned feel, but all of this is perfectly acceptable. The only downside was that the room number sign on my floor (I think it was the 6th floor, facing Ren'ai Road) seemed to be incorrect, directing me in the wrong direction from the elevator. I walked all the way to the end of the hall and couldn't find my room, so I had to turn back and eventually found it in the opposite direction. It was a bit frustrating. I hope they can fix that sign.FromIDR 2,344,932

The service needs improvement. We checked in around 7 or 8 PM and had to wait until 3 AM to get a room at the end of a hallway. When we called to ask if we could change rooms, the staff said no because the other rooms weren't cleaned yet. They also said if we wanted to change, we'd have to wait longer, and it would only be a low-floor connecting room. So, we went down to the front desk to discuss it, and suddenly, a high-floor room was available.
My family went down to dinner first and told the restaurant staff that not everyone was there yet. But when I went down, they said they didn't know where my family was sitting and told me to find them myself.
I don't know why the first staff member lied to us. Although their tone was polite, it felt like they weren't very dedicated to their work.FromIDR 4,446,548

This was a pleasant stay. We were traveling with a child, and I had specifically requested a high floor in my Ctrip booking notes. To my surprise, the hotel really paid attention to it! The hotel has 30 floors in total, and they put us on the 29th floor, which was absolutely perfect with fantastic views.
**Cleanliness:** The room had a separate wet and dry area, and the toilet was smart and very clean.
**Transportation:** The hotel is located right above Wanhua Railway Station. You just turn a corner from the ticketing hall of Wanhua Station and you're there. It's also only a 5-minute walk to Longshan Temple MRT Station.
**Local Food:** Around Longshan Temple MRT Station, there's an Oyster Vermicelli shop (diagonally opposite the 50 Lan milk tea shop) that you absolutely *must* try. The flavor is great and it's generously portioned. I dare say you won't find a better oyster vermicelli in all of Taiwan. Remember, next to the oyster vermicelli shop, there's a place selling grilled sausages – grab one of those too. Vermicelli + grilled sausage = a perfect combination! There's also a night market in Longshan Temple in the evenings.FromIDR 1,128,348

Room was big enough for 2 person and 2 small luggage, there’s even a sofa for me to lie down.
There was a small onsen like tub which was amazing although it was slightly stained with mold around the grouting (I used hot water to clean it then used the tub). Bed was comfortable!
Gym was alright, there’s a smith machine, weights, treadmills. Not very big and was actually slightly warm as it was summer when I went.
Service was fairly good. I sprained my ankle and they were very happy to provide ice, towel and pillow.
Plus points that we really like was they had free snack bar beside their hotel! Can try many different sweets, biscuits and jelly.
There’s a big carrefour nearby too!

Hotel staff got my booking wrong and assigned me a wrong room category. The initial room was noisy and I could hear construction noise from the site opposite the hotel despite being up on the 18th floor. Soundproofing is rather poor as I can occasionally hear people's conversations as they walk along the corridor.
The lounge was a nice touch though the food offerings especially during the afternoon tea and breakfast service could be better. Service in the club lounge was generally good but could be slower during busy times.

As per other reviews, the location is perfect. It is linked to the Taipei Main station. The hotel can be accessed through the basement via exit M6 (staircase but sheltered) and M8 (escalator, but need to cross the road). The downside of the room is the aircon faces and blows directly on the face when laying on the bed. It can be disturbing when sleeping.

Xinyi District/Taipei 101 Taipei|2.4km from city center
The location is very convenient, with Xinyi District right downstairs. However; the service at the front desk was disappointing.
Due to a change in our plans, we booked one additional night and asked whether we could simply remain in the same room without checking out. As the new reservation was made by different person, we did not realise that our original to had a Taipei 101 view and was priced higher. The front desk insisted that we had to pay th difference to stay in the same room. While I understand that hotels have policies regarding different room catergories, (at the end we still paid, not we unwilling to pay) the staff’s attitude was very rigid and unfriendly, with little effort made to explain the situation or offer an alternative.
I stayed at this hotel last year and was given a complimentary upgrade to the same room type. This time, we had already booked two rooms for five nights before adding the extra night, so I expected a 5 star hotel to handle the situation with more warmth and flexibility. Unfortunately, the front-desk experience left us feeling very disappointedFromIDR 3,355,633

The hotel is located near to the Zhongxiao Dunhua station (exit 3) and walking distance from Ming Yao Department Store, Taipei Dome, Songshan Cultural and Creative Park and National Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. There are also many convenience stores within the vicinity and famous donut stores nearby. During our stay, we travelled by foot from the hotel to Pokemon Center Taipei, Taipei 101 and even to Linjiang Night Market.
The room is spacious. There are bathtub and shower in our room, but due to the law in Taiwan, please prepare your own toothbrush and toothpaste. There are also luggage weighing machine and coin-laundry machines in a small room on the floor where they serve breakfast. While not to expect a widespread of choices, I think their breakfast selection is a decent combination of local dishes and western options. Special mention that their pineapples are very sweet!
If you are interested, you may also check out over the counter on the selection of local products that can be ordered and delivered to the hotel. It may save you trouble to locate some of the famous brands in Taipei.

Decent hotel for budget travelers who prefer to be out all day rather than indulge in amenities.

Room details were average and new-ish. The heavy curtains concealed old steel windows. Beddings and towels were changed every other day or so but could be also changed upon request.

However, when we reached that entrance, we were shocked to find the door marked with the sign “来宾止步” (“Guests Stop Here”). When we raised this with your staff, we were told that this entrance has not been in use since the COVID-19 period. While we understand that certain operations may have changed during the pandemic, COVID-19 restrictions have ended for more than two years. If the primary entrance has been permanently closed, why has no corrective action been taken and the misleading signage still left there? Carrying heavy luggage up and down a sloped path unnecessarily was frustrating and avoidable.
2. No Staff Assistance or Clear Signage at the New Entrance
When we finally located the new entrance, there were no staff members on standby to assist us, nor was there any clear external signage indicating that this was the correct way to access the lobby. The explanation given later was that all staff were away assisting with parking which is not acceptable. At least one person should have been assigned to remain at the entrance, or the last person leaving should have arranged for another colleague to cover the position. In addition, the Operations Director mentioned that there is signage inside the new entrance directing guests to take the elevator to the lobby. However, this logic is flawed. If guests cannot locate the correct entrance in the first place, how could they possibly see a sign placed inside?
3. Poorly Trained and Unprofessional Front Desk Behavior
After struggling outside, we called the number listed on Google. Only then did someone finally come out and lead us in. By that time, we were exhausted and upset. When we confronted the front desk staff about why they ignored us, despite us clearly visible outside the “来宾止步” glass door, making eye contact and knocking for help, but they claimed they “did not see us.” This excuse was clearly untrue, as we observed them looking in our direction. Even more disappointing, none of the front desk staff offered an apology even until we requested to speak to the Operations Director and asked him to review the CCTV footage. After reviewing the footage, the Operations Director confirmed that the front desk had not been alert and apologized on their behalf. However, he did not acknowledge that the front desk’s attitude and lack of sincerity were also serious problems. Being “not alert enough” and showing no sense of apology or empathy are two entirely different issues.
As an international hotel, the front desk is the first impression of your service. Regardless of the quality of your facilities, this poor experience completely overshadowed the positive aspects of our stay. It also severely damages the reputation of Kagaya Group — a brand that has long been admired for its exemplary Japanese hospitality and politeness. Although we appreciate the Operations Director’s effort to make amends by offering us a meal and gifts (which we declined), it remains undeniable that this incident reflects a failure in staff training and management oversight.
We hope that management will seriously review this incident, especially the issues of:
- Inadequate and misleading signage at the entrance
- Lack of staff presence and assistance upon guest arrival
- Poor front desk awareness and unprofessional behavior
We trust that Kagaya Group will uphold its proud tradition of service by addressing these problems promptly and ensuring no other guests experience such treatment in the future.
Thank you for your attention.FromIDR 4,943,877

We stayed for 3 nights with 2 adults and 1 toddler, including breakfast.
Pros:
Excellent location: Direct access from Exit Z8 of Taipei Main Station's underground shopping mall.
All hotel facilities are on the 4th floor, except for the breakfast area: a play area for toddlers, a dedicated play zone for children, and complimentary snacks from 2 PM to 4 PM (redeemable with room key). Bottled water is available for self-service all day.
Reasonable room size: Plenty of space to move around even after unpacking.
Responsive staff: Provided reasonable assistance promptly.
Breakfast on the 37th floor: Tables are well-spaced, offering great views. Some dishes vary daily, including tea eggs and ********* sausages with chicken drumsticks.
Areas for improvement:
Exit Z8 is convenient but has no elevator. You'd need to go out one block earlier for elevator access.
To get from the room to breakfast on the 37th floor, you need to change elevators.
The hotel doesn't proactively clean the room, but you can request trash disposal and towel changes.FromIDR 1,165,782

This was our first onsen-in-room experience, and the room itself was spectacular. We were upgraded to a premium room with outdoor onsen and hinoki bathtubs. Happy hour, dinner, and breakfast were all wonderful. However, all hospitality ended the moment we checked out.
We left our luggage at 11 AM and returned at 6:30 PM to collect it before our 7 PM ride. Upon entering, a staff member stopped me and defensively asked what my business was. After explaining we just needed to wait in the lounge, we were met with total coldness. We knew we weren't entitled to the ongoing happy hour, but to not even be offered a glass of water at a premium hotel charging RM1,500+++ a night is unacceptable. We felt completely unwelcome and awkward.
The jarring contrast between how we were treated as paying guests versus checked-out guests felt like a punch in the stomach. This hypocrisy speaks volumes about the hotel's values. We went from planning our next stay to ensuring we will never step foot here again.FromIDR 4,582,912

Shuttle bus from mrt station was on time, reception service was great. Room was dimly lit for the intended ambience.

Outdoor onsen was much better than private room onsen because of the view and rainy-cooling weather. Felt like heaven soaking in their 39-43 degree celcius hot pools & their cool pools. Kinda far from the restaurant/ eateries outside so prepare to take the shuttle bus out or uber, if not you can just pay more for the japanese restaurant.

If you're looking for an awesome hot springs hotel, this could be a one. One it's a bit older and not super foreigner friendly. But if you speak some simple Chinese or you're willing to use a translator app, this place is pretty dang cool. You'll find locals who have memberships at the Hot springs there. The outdoor Hot spring is really cool and the water is 100% real Hot spring water so it's got that sulfur smell. I recommend getting a room with your own hot spring. This way, no matter what day you arrive, if there's anything about the hours not working at the public hot spring, you still have the opportunity to enjoy it. It's no five star brand new Hilton inn. But it's comfortable, sanitary and has a nice homey vibe. If you're staying for more then one day, I recommend that you tried the the local markets for a breakfast one day. The hotel breakfast is satisfactory. You'll see some buns, some rice, soy milk, a few vegetable options, some sausages, and a little bit of Western food. Very simple and gets the job one if you're not in the mood to explore. I came alone and I felt safe in a really enjoyed my time. I recommend you hike some of the local trails.

It was really nice having a private hot spring in the room, and the quality of the spring water was excellent. The surrounding environment was also lovely. Today's temperature was around 20 degrees Celsius, so soaking in the hot spring warmed me up perfectly, making for a very comfortable stay. I was surprised by how many rooms there were in the three-story building. I thought it might get crowded with only one elevator, but there was no significant congestion during breakfast or check-out times.
Downstairs, there's a Carrefour, a French supermarket chain, where you can find pretty much anything you need. They even sold fresh ********* beer with a surprisingly short 18-day shelf life.

It's evident this is a very old Japanese-owned hotel. The location is excellent, and the service attitude is incredibly good, but unfortunately, it all feels superficial. The check-in process was a bit cumbersome; they even wrote down the wrong room number. It wasn't until after going up and down twice that I realized the mistake. Luckily, I didn't open an occupied room, or it would have been a much bigger problem.
The lobby manager was polite and immediately came to apologize, offering a fruit platter as compensation. But when we returned later, where was the fruit platter? I guess they forgot. Or maybe it was just a perfunctory offer from the start.
To my surprise, I had to pay a deposit upon check-in. What year is this rule from? Do other Japanese hotels still maintain this practice?
It was clear that most of the guests were Japanese. Did we receive this treatment because we aren't Japanese?

Overall, the stay was satisfying. The room quality, cleanliness, service attitude, and the delicate Japanese hospitality all demonstrated the standard expected of a five-star hotel.
The only minor letdown was the somewhat underwhelming food selection in the executive lounge. During my stay, it was largely the same few dishes, lacking variety. The quality and sophistication didn't quite reflect the value expected of an executive floor, and it felt a bit perfunctory, missing any standout highlights.
As an executive lounge in a five-star hotel, I believe that an improvement in dish rotation, ingredient quality, and plating details would enhance the guest experience and better meet guests' expectations for an executive lounge.

While they are a bit more spacious, if you have the option, definitely go for a standard room. You also have to walk quite a bit just to turn off the lights, making the whole room feel pretty old-fashioned. The location, however, is unbeatable.

Another advice would be more of a treat if they provided a face mask and sleep wear.

Facilities: As it's a relatively new hotel, all the facilities are very new and clean. The only downside is that the shower door's waterproof strip was faulty, so every time I showered, water leaked out and wet the bathroom floor. I had to use many towels to soak up the water, which is unacceptable for a hotel claiming to be high-end; such a small detail should not be an issue.
Hygiene: As mentioned, the hygiene was excellent, which is expected from a new hotel. The housekeeping staff did an acceptable job.
Ambiance: I particularly loved the decor; it's simple yet luxurious, modern yet refined, showing a great sense of style.
Service: As an experienced traveler, I believe the service doesn't match a hotel that claims to be the top luxury hotel in Taipei. While the local Taiwanese staff are professional with their smiles and greetings, there's no warmth. You feel a coldness behind their smiles and enthusiasm.
Dining: Overall, the dining was quite disappointing. They have a lounge, which functions like an executive lounge, but all the food was very ordinary. The drinks were excellent, but breakfast was also very average; the bread and food didn't live up to the hotel's luxurious decor. This was a major letdown. The breakfast and lounge food were far inferior to what you'd find at the Mandarin Oriental, which was quite disappointing.
Summary: I've stayed in many hotels in Taiwan, including the Mandarin Oriental, Hyatt, and W. From a luxury, value-for-money, and service perspective, Cappella should not be ranked as Taipei's number one luxury hotel, for the following reasons: While the hardware is excellent, some details are lacking. As I mentioned, the bathroom's waterproof strip, and there was also a strange smell in the room, possibly due to the new renovation. These details need improvement to truly be considered Taipei's top luxury hotel. More importantly, the service needs work. Overall, the hotel should further strengthen its staff training on service to ensure guests genuinely feel their service is warm and thoughtful, rather than just professional. Only then will it live up to its luxury status and price. If you ask me to recommend this hotel, I have reservations. Given its reputation and price, it's not worth recommending. Perhaps if the value for money were better, it might be worth a try.FromIDR 10,981,342

Breakfast spread limited, hopefully would be improved on to offer items like cup yogurt, granola etc. Location wise 1 stop from City Hall MRT, actually walkable if not in rush. There are buses to 101 so easier than changing train lines to go to the red lines. A large Poya next door, Starbucks just few steps away. Couple of convenience stores and more eateries opp.
Hotel staff generally was polite. The lady who assisted with my check in and out was extremely helpful. Overall impression of hotel was good. Very good value esp in comparison to the super high px near City Hall.FromIDR 1,430,489

Taipei Railway Station Area Taipei|2.89km from city center
The services were excellent. It is centrally located within very short walking distance to MRT, bus station and direct rail to Taoyuan Airport. Shopping and food are abundance and within a 2-minute walk. The breakfast in the hotel is very good. The only negative thing about this hotel is its design with a dark setting with low lighting. Otherwise, everything else is quite nice. Will stay here again.FromIDR 2,553,490

Taipei Railway Station Area Taipei|3.4km from city center
Great location as it is close to the famous Dihua Old street and NingXia night market. Also walkable to mrt stations - blue line, red and green line. Room is clean and reasonably large with great water pressure. Staff all speaks English and helpful. The breakfast and gym were basic. Would be good to have some weights equipment in the gym. Overall it is a good hotel and I would be happy to stay here again.FromIDR 1,037,439

Ximending Commercial Area Taipei|4.04km from city center
Great location—about a 10-minute walk to Ximen MRT Station. I stayed for a week for just $150 USD, making it an amazing bargain. The room was clean, and the housekeepers were wonderful. The building’s exterior looks a bit worn down and appears to be undergoing maintenance, but overall it was very worth it with this price.FromIDR 754,015

Ximending Commercial Area Taipei|3.63km from city center
The hotel is very close to Ximending and Taipei Main Station. The front desk, luggage storage, and other services were excellent. It's an older building that's been recently renovated, and overall it's pretty good. The only downside is the incredibly slow internet.FromIDR 890,379

Songshan Cultural & Creative Park Taipei|1.34km from city center
The location is fantastic! The MRT station, [specific attraction/landmark - if the 5 stars refer to something concrete, e.g., 'Taipei 101 Mall'], and the Taipei Dome are all within walking distance, and it's less than 2 km from Taipei 101, making transport incredibly convenient. The room facilities are a bit dated, and the hotel's coffee shop was understocked.FromIDR 2,026,749

This is such a wonderful hotel, we came with a baby, the hotel staff are all super friendly, helpful and making us feel warmth and being welcomed. Helping us in daily details like booking taxi, carrying stroller up the stairs, bringing luggages to the room. Good price for such spacious room, delicious breakfast and good location, just 5min walk to MRT and nearby eateries and convenient stores, will definitely come back againFromIDR 1,711,239

Songjiang Nanjing District Taipei|1.61km from city center
Overall, we were happy with our stay here. The rooms were generally clean, and the staff was okay for the most part. However, there were a couple of odd moments. At one point, a staff member asked if the car I was driving actually belonged to me, which felt like a really strange and uncomfortable question to ask a guest. Additionally, we found some used pimple patches left on the bathroom wall by the previous tenants. To be fair, they were actually quite hard to recognize and notice, so I can understand how housekeeping missed them, but it was still a bit unpleasant to find. It’s a solid place to stay, but staff training and final room checks could be improved.FromIDR 1,032,091

Zhongxiao Dunhua Commercial Area Taipei|0.42km from city center
Forgot how many times I stay here but is always good to return to this hotel, sad that the small gym is gone now. But services and food is still good especially the Happy hour every day. Would be nice if the staff were more flexible no need to only start sharp at 5pm. I remember in the past staff were more flexible. The construction work outside the hotel really decreased the willingness of me staying again. Hope it will be done soonFromIDR 1,735,303
