good trip”
the first hotel of taipei is very good, the freego bus station is very near the hotel, I get off the bus and only 2minutes walking to the hotel. the hotel near the metro station of nanjing dong er duan.as it is some far from the business center, but the sogo shop mall is not so far. the breakfast is ok. and the price is also acceptable. I would recommend it to you all.
Easy access to MRT ”
I stayed in this hotel for the second time. quite an easy access to MRT Sonjian nanjin stn. but also possible to Zhongshan stn. by foot(we even walked to the hotel from Taipei main station). since taxi is not expensive in the city, a hotel location may not an issue but still nice to stay in the heart of the city for some strolling. recommended.
A nice old hotel”
Stayed here for a business meeting. Very conveniently located, everyone told me it was the first international hotel in Taipei. An old hotel, properly maintained. The staffs were very friendly, and the room had everything you couldnt even think of, such as a scale in the bathroom.
Lovely hotel and good location 不错的酒店位置也好”
It is good for the people come to Taipei, coz there is the shuttle bus directly comes from the airport. And the location of the hotel is good, it is very easy to access to any place, it just take 5 mins to the MRT. If next time I come to Taipei again I will choose to stay the first hotel again. It was a really good experience for me.
good value/convenient location”
convenient location - free go airport bus no. 5502 from taoyuan (cks) intl airport terminals 1 and 2 runs every 15/20 minutes (from 05:50 to 01:10) to right outside first hotel (4th stop after highway, approx 40 mins from apt). hotel good value - room good size with 2 queen beds, desk and small table with 2 chairs. fruit on arrival, free bottled water (plus dispenser in corridor). safe, toiletries, bathrobes etc. breakfast included - reasonable selection of western and chinese food. chef cooks fresh eggs for guests. small coffee shop off lobby. reception staff spoke english quite well and helped with directions etc.
convenient”
I had to pick up a friend from the aiport and made a one-day visit to Taipei. The hotel is well located. The room was clean and decent in size (below average). For the purpose just perfect. For a longer stay, I would choose another hotel - for a weekend trip, when one is staying primarily outside, it was just the right one.
Nice hotel with good facilities”
Although First Hotel doesn't look good from the outside, I was surprised by the nice ambience inside the room. The room is just nice, not too big nor small and you can find all the things that you need: wi-fi, hair dryer etc. The staff are very friendly especially the housekeepers, who greeted me everytime I saw them. There are some Japanese restaurants just outside the Hotel if you want to have a quick meal near the hotel. The drawback I would say is that the hotel is relatively far away from the nearly Metro Station. Zhongshan Station is about 15-20mins walk away. However, you can still take a bus to the nearest metro station if you know the way. Other than that, Im quite pleased with my stay.
Awesome and Good”
Awesome stay at the hotel. Very near the Songjiang Nanjing MRT station and located centrally in taipei.
nice room with huge beds, it's good for a family m”
although the hotel is not very easy to find, it's good enough to arrive there. convenient tho not exactly close to subway. But the service is great, with smiles and willing to help. The room is huge, the beds are nice for a family of 4 people. The bathroom is decent. Staying there at this low price at this decent quality hotel is definitely a plus and no doubt that we'll re-visit this hotel next time.
Good hotel with good location & service ”
- The hotel is good one, but rather old equipment. - Location is near eating & shopping area , also MRT so easy to access to everywhere in Taipei via MRT or bus. - Staffs are some professional in service . - Worthy for such kind of money .
Interesting hotel”
Traveling again through Taipei I stayed at this hotel and for the first time. The rooms are reasonable, the staff are very friendly and efficient, amenities are available and internet was free. I have stayed uncountable times in Taipei and was always happy. I would probably stay there anytime again because it's location is simply good and there are plenty of activities within walking distance.
Excellent value - 4 star service & room amenities”
This hotel is really good for business traveller. Everything is right - smooth and soft bed linens with hard & comfortable mattress, decent breakfast, friendly and efficient staff, good in room amenities of a 4 star hotel - fridge, safe, hair dryer, coffee maker, etc. Except that the room is a bit small as a business double, and need to walk about 10 min to the nearest subway station..
nice hotel located reative near to subway”
An old hotel but recently renovated. The room is a bit small compare to the other hotel we stay but the location is perfect for traveling around the whole Taipei city. There is a lot of resturants cater for different budget around the hotel.
Good Location”
the hotel is easy to find and most of the taxi drivers know where it is. if you are going the hotel from taoyuan airport you can simply take the 5502 bus which takes you to the hotel in 50 mins. the hotel staff are nice and helpful. covenience stores are just around the hotel. the size of the hotel room is good enough for 2-3 guests. i will consider staying here again next time.
Convenient location”
This hotel is accessible to trains and buses. The bus station is just opposite the hotel! The room is a bit on the small side but it is just for us to sleep on and nothing more so don't expect high end amenities. This is perfect for us because we are mostly outside during the day for our planned itineraries.
Nice hotel”
We booked 2 rooms in the hotel, one is double delux and one executive twin. Located in 9th and 10th floor. I recommend executive twin if you wish to have more space. The shower room is clean and well facilitated. Breakfast was fair. It's around 5-10 minutes walk from mrt station, changing trains are required if you want to go to the famous sights. Overall it's a nice hotel.
Great location ”
The location is good but it is not close to any of MRT station, so for foreign visitors, you might need to take bus. Staffs are friendly and helpful, but the room is not big with limited access to sunshine due to small window. Breakfast is good in terms if price I paid. Overall, I like this stay.
Beautiful Hotel”
love the hotel! It's very clean and have a beautiful beach view. Close to the beach, can play fireworks in the beach at night. very friendly staff. great for couples or family to stay in! absolutely love it.
Very good hotel”
This was the second time that I use the hotel, because I liked the location, it's very comfortable room, clean and warm.
Old hotel but clean and convenient”
although the hotel looks a bit old but it's not bad. nice room, and the place is very convenient. walking distance to train station, less than 5 minutes and can get a taxi easily in front of the hotel. you can also take a taxi to shilin night market, about 15 minutes. not much variety for the hotel breakfast but all the food taste good.
