Taipei Beitou Aloft｜A 'friendly-style hotel' in the hot spring area

Perfect for those who want to leisurely explore Beitou. After staying here, I realized that 'attitude truly trumps everything'! While the hardware may not be top-notch, the enthusiasm of the staff instantly boosts your impression. Here's a quick rundown of the pros and cons to help you focus on the highlights👇 🌟 Warm and thoughtful service • The front desk staff warmly recommended: 'The red bean cakes at Beitou Market are super delicious! Go after 3 PM to avoid the lines.' They even thoughtfully provided a 'hot spring map,' marking the 'best photo times at Thermal Valley' and 'free guided tour hours at the museum.' • During room cleaning, they noticed I love ice cubes and proactively delivered two extra bags of ice (placed in an insulated bag to prevent melting). This kind of 'top-notch observation' service is more touching than luxurious hardware. 🛏️ Practical and comfortable hardware • The rooms follow a 'minimalist industrial style,' with walls painted in warm beige and paired with wooden floors. Though the space isn't large, the storage is sufficient. The mattress is firm (great for those who prefer support), and there's a foldable lazy chair by the window that's perfect for reading. • The bathroom features a dry-wet separation design, with strong water pressure in the shower. Amenities are from popular brands, and they are replenished promptly, so you won't face the awkward 'running out' situation. 🚶 Convenient location for walkers in the hot spring area • It's about a 12-minute walk from the MRT 'Xinbeitou Station' (passing through the hot spring old street, where you can grab a grilled corn sausage to snack on while walking). For convenience, you can rent a shared bike (there's a station right outside the hotel). • The advantage is its proximity to attractions! It's a 5-minute walk to 'Thermal Valley' (where the sulfurous mist feels like another world) and the 'Hot Spring Museum' (a Japanese-style heritage site perfect for vintage photos). Start your morning with sightseeing, then return to soak in the hotel's 'public hot spring pool' (separate for men and women, with clean water quality). 💡 Who is this hotel suitable for? • 'Slow travel enthusiasts': Perfect for those who want to deeply explore Beitou's hot spring area, enjoy private baths, and savor old street delicacies, and don't mind being 'a bit far from the MRT.' • Travelers with a moderate budget: Room rates are 30%+ cheaper than five-star hotels in the same area, leaving more money for extra hot spring sessions or delicious stir-fry meals. • Guests who value 'human warmth': Ideal for those tired of mechanical service and prefer the feeling of being treated like a friend.
