Les Suites Ching Cheng Hotel, Taipei

It's a perfectly nice boutique hotel in the best location in Taipei. Especialy I enjoyed the nice breakfast in a cosy living room style surrounding with the possibility to eat in the garden too. Internet works well and even a Mac is provided in the lobby.

Overall was a good experience. The service was good, rooms were clean. Did not get the chance to try the Suite but their Deluxe Bedrooms were good. They had one big bed and one small bed (queen and full size). That's how all their Deluxe Bedrooms are set up.

Location is super convenient, steps to the subway system although that particular station is not the most convenient. You pretty much have to change trains to go anywhere, but its convenient enough. There are not alot of interesting restaurants around, but again there is enough to eat and there is a 7/11 downstairs. Frontdesk offered me an upgraded room when requested. Service is attentive but not intrusive. Everyone down to the maids are very polite and accomodating. The room amenities include small things like sewing kits and there is ready hot drinking water (for tea, and Oolong tea bags are in the room) as well as ice etc. Internet is fast and reliable. Bed is real comfy. A free mobile phone (that is not the easiest to dial though) is a plus. Local calls are free but not calls to mobile, but the hotel rate is reasonable. For three days of use, I was charged NT 240, less than USD 10. Much more convenient than having to buy a SIM card etc etc. Breakfast buffet is very good. The whole place exudes class, I can stay here for months if I am posted to Taipei.
