We attended to a special event and our group booked at this property which is located approx 40kms from Taoyuan International Airport. We arrived around lunch time and we waited check in time at 330pm. While waiting we ate at their restaurant located near the gate. The property has nothing fancy since it is like a student campus, there are teaching halls and students are roaming around. They have vendo machines with drinks and snacks located at the lobby and on the 4th floor. A convenience store located near the lobby open until 9pm. I booked 2 double beds room (Monarch Room) and we got rooms 1901 and 1902 located on the 9th floor. The rooms we got are clean, beds are comfy, with hot and cold shower, complimentary basic toiletries, and a kettle. Both rooms have an amazing view of the Grand Hotel Taipei especially at night! Please see my reviews with photos on Tripadvisor. The nearest MRT station is Jiantan which is a good 25 mins walk, so if you are travelling with elderly and planning to visit attractions by train you might want to consider a property closer to the MRT station. If you have an Easycard you can find a Youbike station near the hotel compound. Closest 24 hour convenience store is a good 7 mins walk. At around 6pm you can visit Shilin Night Market, an interesting place that offers a variety of street food, clothes, accessories and souvenirs. If you booked the double decker tour from klook the bus stop (blue route) is just near the MRT Jiantan station. The staff at the hotel communicates with basic english. Our friends staying at different rooms on other floors kinda complaint about their rooms being old and dusty but ours was fine, so I strongly recommend to request those on the higher floors. If you booked a room with complimentary breakfast, they will give you coupons and reakfast is from 7am to 9am, better be there early for more food choices as there are many guests. One thing I have to point out is that i informed the frontdesk that i will b

Chientan is a good youth hotel in taiwan, near she lin night market, near mrt, very comfortable ”

Chientan is my school and my friends from many country (Indonesia, Peru, Brasil, Canada, Quatemala, Chile, Jerman, Jepan, USA, etc ) I'm start study in sept-dec 1993. I'm very thankful to government Taiwan for made school like that's. Teachers teach as with passion and love, the school every 2 month take student to holiday like Alisan mountain, ect In Chientan not only teaching mandarin language but teachers also teach many thing like : sufa, painting, kungfu, all the good stuff traditional Taiwan. So we can understand mamdarin language and we know Taiwan culture as well. I miss you Taiwan, specialty CHIENTAN.

Very nice place. ”

The staffs are very accommodating. We had our very late check in around 2am. The rooms are very clean and spacious. We had a nice view outside! They also gave us free breakfast everyday! Very affordable! And they even let us deposit our baggage after check out and claimed it before we headed to airport at midnight. Hotel is walking distance to Shillin. The hotel sorroundings are very peaceful and quiet. Thank you Chientan! I will definitely recommend this to my friends!

Excellent”

Great location. Very near Shi Lin Night Market, and Chien Tan MRT Station. A new U Bike station has just been set up right outside Chien Tan Youth Hotel. You can now take a U bike from that new station to the existing U Bike station located outside Exit 2 of Chien Tan MRT Station.

Nice Hotel dorm style”

I book the hotel for my wife reunion at the same place. Book the family type with 4 single beds and 2 bunk beds. Really like the fact that I got 2 toilets and 2 shower cubicle ensuite. Towels is available for rent for this type of room but I got it for free, thanks. Only 8 mins walk to nearest MRT station and 12 mins walk to Shilin night market. They have common area with table and chair for each floor with dispenser and vending machine. There is also a coin laundry at the basement but you need to bring your own soap.

Good value ”

My mother and I stayed here for 5 nights while we visited Taipei. The staff were very friendly and the room and facilities were clean. The location is next to a couple of busy roads; our room was on the 9th floor so noise was not an issue for us. The room was bright but the windows didn't open; the aircon worked well so at no point was the room stuffy. The Jiantan MRT station was closeby and that made it very convenient to go anywhere in the city. All in all good value. We will come back.

NICE FAMILY ROOM DORM STYLE”

I book family room for my wife reunion at the same place. The room is quite spacious with 4 single beds and 2 bunk beds. I really love that I got 2 toilets and 2 bathrooms inside. Towels are not included in this dorm type of room but available for rent (I got it for free though, thanks). 8 min walk to MRT station and 12 min walk to shilin night market. They have common area in each floor with vending machine and water dispenser. Coin laundry is in basement.

Affordable, clean, great for big families”

We chose this hotel because it had rooms with six single beds, so my family of 7 could stay in the same room. The room had ensuite bathroom with 2 toilet cubicles, 1 shower cubicle, and 2 sinks. Hand soap, bath gel, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, slippers, bottled water, hair dryer, and hand towels were provided. If you need bigger towels, I heard you can rent but we brought our own instead. Concierge staff were very helpful, but if you do not speak Chinese, I suggest you bring translation app. Breakfast is simple but filling. This hotel is right inside JianTan park, so plenty of open area for kids to run in, few cars so it is very safe, just make sure they do not fall into the pond that is also inside the park. There is coin laundry in the basement, so it was very easy to wash clothes. I washed at midnight and left my phone there accidentally and found it at the concierge next morning. We left too early for our last day's breakfast, and they send us food boxes instead.

Clean and Near to Shilin Night Market”

It's located at a walkable distance from the famous Shilin Night Market

Very good”

Was on a conference in the YuanShan hotel just opposite. Walking distance to the riverside running paths (which took some self-explorationg around the neighbourhood as the staff didnt' know about it). Simple rooms. Generous but mediocre food quality bur buffet breakfast. A REAL good value for money.

Exceptional”

Room is spacious enough, price is affordable but location wise recommended to go by cab instead of walk 😅

Hotel near to Shilin Night Market”

Was travelling as family with 3 children. Booked a family room. Pretty basic but clean. Good this is this place is within walking distance to Shilin Night Market. Also within 15-20 min drive to National Palace Museum. If you drive your own car like me, there are ample parking spaces within the compound. However you need to pay for parking.

Excellent”

Amazing value for money. Location is extremely convenient as it is only a few minutes walk to the Shi Lin Night Market, as well as the Chien Tan MRT station. Breakfast can be a bit limited, and the food tend to be a little greasy, but is pretty alright for the price.
