Mandarin Oriental Hotel Taipei experience, considerate but not much

A year has passed, and this time I came back to Taiwan and chose the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Taipei. Room type: Deluxe room Recommended: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Catering: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Excellent) Transportation: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (remote from the MRT station) Value for money:💰💰 The hotel is located in Songshan District, about 10-15 minutes away from the MRT station. On the way, we will pass many open-air places without tiles to cover our heads, as well as abandoned community buildings. The first impression is that it is a bit remote. When checking in, I felt Mandarin Oriental's usual warmth and thoughtfulness, and the counter staff spoke Cantonese. Another staff member immediately handed over a cold towel and a welcome drink called "Signature" - Roselle, Longan and Wintermelon water made with local ingredients. Whether it is the lobby, the passage leading to the room, or the guest room, you can feel the careful design and layout of the building's interior. The room size is okay, with a walk-in closet, separate toilet, and bathroom with shower stall and bathtub. Like the previous Mandarin, there are two wash basins for family members to use together. The room was supposed to have a crystal lamp, but it was removed for unknown reasons. Therefore, the ceiling space at the bottom of the building looks relatively high. The bottom of the bed is an elevated design, and every time I lie down on it, there is a little rattling sound, which makes it feel strangely unstable. In terms of landscape, it is mainly in the European resort style surrounding the hotel. It is surrounded by residential buildings. There is really no beautiful scenery to speak of. While the curtains are electronically controlled, the window screens are held in place with Velcro. Every time I stay at Mandarin, I am "surprised" by its window screens. Last time, they could only be reduced by half. I had breakfast at the Mandarin Cafe. Although there were a lot of people and I had to wait almost every time, the quality of the food and the wide variety were highly recommended. Back to the room, neither the welcome fruit nor the turn-down dessert was provided. The standard of room service is also a bit strange. The person in charge of turndown service did not help tie the wires when we checked in on the first night. Only the room attendant did it on the second night; bathroom supplies were not placed on towels until the last night; I placed the TV remote control on the bedside near the window, and the staff would put it back on the bedside near the bathroom every night. If this operation is said to be SOP, it is understandable and reasonable, but on the last night Then he suddenly placed it on the bedside near the window. So overall, this Mandarin is considerate but not too much. If it is qualified according to the standards of a five-star hotel, but from the perspective of Mandarin guests, "This Mandarin is indeed not Mandarin enough." #TaipeiHotel #TaipeiMandarinOrientalHotel #TaipeiMandarinOrientalHotel
