Very good services at Gloria Prince Hotel”

Dear Sirs/Ms, I have stayed at Gloria Prince Hotel Taipei (GPH) with my family of 4 pax for 3 Ns (24-27 Dec.2011) on our Year End Holiday, and have booked two executive double/twin bedrooms. I would like to express my impression as follows: 1. Location: at Songshan/Zhongshan District is very good. Only 10 minutes walking distance to MRT Yuanshan; Strategic location to cover lot of interesting sights at the western part of Taipei City from north to the southern part(Rate 9). 2. Rooms: Very clean, wide, well equipped, convenient and the rate is reasonable (Rate 9) 3. Restaurants: La Fontaine Bar & C.Hwa Chinese Resto hv a good menu & taste well (Rate 8). 5. Htl Personals: from front door/bell boys -> reception -> concierge -> to housekeeping maids and technician, are very polite, friendly, effective & efficient, cooperative, and very reliable. (Rate 10- superb). We have a special experience story that we will never forget, and would like to share: a. We open the safe deposit box (sdb) to put our valuable goods that is ‘not needed’ during touring the city. We make a mistake in handling the sdb, the sdb was blocked. We call the reception, only less than 5 minutes the technician is already there to settle. b. Dec. 27, when we check-out to move to another hotel at Xinyi District to go nearer to the interesting sights at the eastern part of Taipei City, our son made a 'great' blunder. After emptying the sdb, he put 2 envelopes contents of US$+S$ on the table, and unconsciously forgot to put it in the bag. Thurs. Dec 29, we got a call from the htl desk thru our chartered taxi driver, who fortunately give his mobilenumber to the concierge. Its really a great initiatives & efforts to contact us. They ask us to collect our belonging that was 'left behind'. We still unconscious what we've left behind. In short there is not any single dollar missing. If we want to give them rewards for their generosity and help, but politely they refused it. We can only say "Than

Surprisingly great hotel”

I think I got an upgraded room at Gloria Prince Residence which was next door to the hotel. The hotel itself had many japanese tourists smoking heavily outside…so the residence was a great choice for me as there was no smoke and very private. The staff was very friendly. The room seemed to be newly renovated. Great design!!! The price was very good for the quality of hotel we got. Would definitely revisit this place again.

Good hotel in a swell location”

Gloria Prince Hotel is a 7-10 minutes walk away from Shuanglian station. During the walk, you will realise there are many relatively cheap and good eating places along the way. There is also a Starbucks nearby for those of you who needs a cup of good coffee for the morning burst. There are a few convenience stores nearby for those who needs food in the middle of the night. The hotel service is courteous and efficient, the housekeeping readily delivered an iron and iron board promptly upon my request. There is also a pretty well-equipped gym on the 11th floor to ease the guilt of having too much night market food. The gym staff do take great care in checking the conditions of the machines and calling the maintenance team if the machines are in need of repair. The room is spacious and i love the fact that my room has lots of windows that look out to the streets. However, being situated near Mackay Hospital does have its downside. You will hear the ambulance sirens every now and then sometimes even in the night. In my opinion, that is just a small downside as compared to the many pros this hotel offers. I will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful hotel”

We had a most enjoyable stay at the Gloria Prince, in an Executive Queen. Everything worked just fine: - large bathrooms with hair dryers - free internet access with cable - large Panasonic Viesa TV with local channels and satellite channels - quiet air con - minifridge and kettle - bathrobes and slippers - very comfortable bed with duvet - quiet rooms, well insulated from street noise - many Japanese tour groups seem to stay here

Gloria Prince Suites - Beautiful”

We went at a very busy period of the year. When we checked in, we were very pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel has moved us to the Gloria Prince Suites, which is behind the hotel. We were given a one bedroom apartment, which is totally new, very modern and chic. Absolutely loved the apartment, with the space, kitchenette, king size bed, glass wall to the toilet and washing machine and dryer.

Good location, good size room, needs modernisation”

my first stay in this hotel, but not my first stay in taipei. the gloria prince is in a good location for most of the public access infrastructure, buses, mrt etc. nowhere is more than about 30 minutes away by taxi and in fact with a good street plan, walking is richly rewarding if you have the time. the hotel is one of the friendliest i have stayed in in taipei, certainly the guest relations desk near reception could not do enough to assist me, always a smile always very polite, 10 out of 10 to them. the room itself was larger than i expected, with all conveniences on tap. the problem though is that it desperately needs modernisation. everything needs a 21st century upgrade. the tv was flat screen but the satelite and regular channels were wery limited and reception of them poor. around the windows and curtains it needed a deep clean at the very least. breakfast was ok, but an odd quirk here if breakfast not included was that it was cheaper to buy the voucher from reception desk than the restaurant, i would have thought both would offer the same. to sum up, an adequate hotel in a good location with friendly staff. the price was also ok, just. so if that is all you need i would recomend, if you want up to the second mod cons, this is not the hotel for you.

Simple, comfortable and ease.”

It was a 3D2N stay with Gloria Prince Hotel. The services was great but I would not pay the same price for the average standard of the hotel room. They had Ethernet for my laptop, but not wifi in the room for smart device users. Ended up my room was right at the end of the corridor and I had to make the effort to visit the Business center right at the front of the corridor which is troublesome.

Good room, need more customer service training”

I reserved a room at Gloria Prince Hotel, however got a room at Gloria Residence instead. When I came up to check-in at the hotel, the staff curtly told me they have no more room and sent me next door to Gloria Residence. I was not happy with her attitude nor the fact that I was sent next door. The staff need attitude training and adjustment.

Wonderful if not for location. ”

Because the actual hotel was full, we were placed in gloria residences. It's like a service apartment. It was excellent. The room was beautiful. Though it is a bit far away from the metro station, It is walkable. Sadly, they dont have an airport shuttle service so that is a bit disappointing. You can always opt to take a taxi which is the more expensive yet convenient alternative.

Great location”

I stayed Gloria Prince Taipei for 7-night. The staffs are very nice. I got someone to help me to open the safe immediately.

Hotel with good service”

This hotel does offer good service. Every staff says hello to you with smiling. Price is also competitive,considering its good location. I'll definitely book this hotel again when I have business trips to Taipei in future.

Comfortable hotel, but no free wifi in room”

Hotel is near the nightlife district. Not exactly very close to mrt (about 500m away), but still within walkable distance. However for travel purely within Taipei, the hotel is at a convenient location, where most major attractions are a short taxi ride away. Free wired internet provided in room, but wireless require charge (NT100/24hr). Free wireless nevertheless provided at their business center. Overall, the hotel is still fair value for the money paid.

Good location but decor feels a bit dated”

i was at gloria prince for 6 days for a holiday. the junior suite that i had was ok- although the decor was a bit outdated and the view was of the back of the neighboring building.room was a good size with a walk-in wardrobe- although the bed itself was too hard for my liking and there should have been more than 2 pillows for a bed that size.staff service was always cheerful and obliging from doorman to reception.breakfast selection was skewed towards japanese and chinese palates with very little choice for western tastes.

Hotel is not commensurate to the price paid.”

Although the hotel is situated at the busy Ximending business district, it's not a proper & purposely built structure meant for carrying out hotel business. it was converted from some shoplots into hotel. Therefore, the design of the rooms and their furniture layouts are poor. It's not comfortable to stay, and most of the rooms are very small. For more or less the same price, Gloria Prince Hotel at Lin Sen North Road, Taipei, is a much better and comfortable place to stay. The guests are being better looked after.

Hotel targetting mainly Japanese tourists”

pros - friendly staffs - large room with comfy bed - nice japanese-styled toilet seat - nice gym on top floor cons - unless you're travelling to locations by taxi, this hotel is a short walk to the subway station - extremely limited tv channels: less than 10 channels offered whereas your regular taipei hotel/motel has hundreds of channels - "central heating" system: went in winter, my room was really warm and stuffy and i was told they had a central heating system whereby you can't manually control the room temperature. they offered me an electric fan, which looked rather funny in the room in winter... alternatively, the room-windows can be opened widely but not recommended for taipeis constant rainy weather.

Great Location”

If you looking for fun/good time at night with all the KTV and Gentlemen's Club, this hotel is situated at one of the most convenient location in Taipei that will get you access to all these places.

Taipei 101 New Year Countdown”

When I arrived at Taipei Main Railway Station from Taichung and hopping into the subway to the ShuangLian station, I was worried that the hotel was far and not of walking distance according to the map I have seen earlier. However, I did not take the chance to walk there but hopped into a cab instead. I was so surprised that it was so near that I told my other half that we should have no problem walking there even with our 2 big luggage in toll. I will definitely stay there again on my next visit in the near future.

Convenient Location Good Service but small rooms”

safe choice and reasonable price especially for business trips staying in taipei city with prince hotel group management. convenient location in central area with walking distance access to restaurants. room a bit small and lack of facilities, but good service and helpful staff.

Great Location with lovely service and smile”

I booked for a standard room, but when I arrived, the hotel said they'd up grade my room, they placed on a apart room beside the main hotel, it's a nice room for me, i like it very much, very cozy and silent, and as i requested before, the room is ner the lift, thats the point for me, but after a day or two, i think i missed the hotel atmosphere, however i like to meet guest from other rooms which i never met at this room, lol however, this is a perfect hotel at Taipei, thanks for a pleasant journey there
