"I recently stayed at The Grand Hotel Taipei and overall had a lovely experience. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning — the iconic architecture, beautiful interior design, and rich history truly make it a one-of-a-kind place. My room was clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated, and the view was just as grand as the hotel’s name promises.
However, I did encounter a bit of disappointment regarding a birthday request. I had reached out in advance asking if there might be a small complimentary gesture for my birthday. Unfortunately, since my check-out was one day before my actual birthday, the hotel declined. The response I received via email was quite cold and simply said “no,” with no alternative or warm message, which felt a bit impersonal — especially since staying at this hotel had been a dream of mine for a long time.
Despite that, I still enjoyed my stay and would recommend the hotel for its unique ambiance and elegant surroundings. I just wish the service had been a bit more accommodating or thoughtful, especially for special occasions."
