We enjoyed our 3 days stay👍😀”
Pros 1.Staffs were very helpful to us since we arrived early (around 7am), they allowed us to checked in with additional little amount of money (shout out to the slender lady with short hair) 2.Location was pretty close to everything just step out of the hotel and voila u 😜have the Taipei's finest including the Ximending night market. just 5minutes walk from Ximen (exit 6). 3. Buffet food was ok. 4.Bathroom was a big & tidy with enough supplies of toiletries. They changed towels evrryday 5.Kitchen staffs were polite and friendly (t'was plus factor) cons 1. They put us in family de luxe room WITHOUT VIEW whereas my booking was FAMILY DELUXE ROOM WITH STREET VIEW, I informed them about the issue and they told us that they are going to wait for the proper room and then we can move in and trasfer but that will be a lot of hassles for our luggages and stuffs, ending we just stayed in our room WITHOUT VIEW (Note: they charge room with view a bit higher from without view ) Verdict: I would still recommend Rainbow Hotel from my friends and relatives. We had a good and enjoyable stay. And praying to come back someday..❤❤❤ Solid 10 points for your Hotel.

Conveniently located ”
Rainbow hotel is located right at the middle of Ximending District. The moment you exit the hotel, you can already enjoy the sights, the food, and the shops nearby. The MRT is also a block away making exploring Taipei very easy. The rooms are ok, comfy bed and nice well-lit bathroom. However, their cleanliness isn’t so spot on, found stains on the sheets but these were immediately replaced. We had coffee in the room but the mug was never replaced or cleaned. The room we stayed at was quite small. The aircon gets really cold and it’s hard trying to find the right temperature. Sheets and towels are changed everyday. Breakfast is so-so. It’s always the usual sausage, congee, chicken nuggets, fries and vegetable affair. Not much in terms of variety. You’re better off enjoying the street food breakfast outside or the nearby 7-11. All in all, the hotel is conveniently located and is a great place to start your Taipei adventure. Other than that, it’s just ok.

December in Taipei”
I love my stay in Ximending maybe because one of the reasons is the hotel. Rainbow Hotel is a hotel where my sister frequently stays in whenever she is in Taipei and so she also recommended it to me when she knew that I'll be having my vacation in Taipei. I'm so happy I listened to her. Everything is within my reach. Starbucks is just a few steps away from the hotel. Right outside the hotel are the shopping areas already, and various restaurants. Amazing!!!!

Good value, excellent location”
Staying at Rainbow Hotel is living right smack in the middle of the Ximending shopping district. It is ideal for those who love to shop around and try the various food Taipei has to offer. It is also convenient to the MRT and to the main streets where you can easily ride a taxi. All hotel staff are friendly and accommodating. Some rooms do need some repair but overall, it is clean and well-maintained.

LOCATION IS SO PERFECT!!!”
The hotel is located near MRT stations, and in the centre of action!!! Staff are nice and very helpful and accommodating. Clean hotel. All day and all night is pure bliss. Very near all shopping malls, convenient stores and street food overload!!! Also it is few steps away from Ximending Pedestrian Crossing, the Time Square of Taipe and Harajuku of Japan!!! Everything is so perfect with Rainbow Hotel. Will definitely recommend this hotel.

Great location”
We are happy with the stay at Rainbow Hotel in overall...the room is spacious and clean...the only thing is the breakfast as the dining area for breakfast is limited and not much varieties...probably it will be good to do some changes and have more varieties especially for occupants like us who stayed 4 nights there...however, the location is superb as is in the middle of ximending and we can just shop and get any food right outside of the hotel...

The best hotel on a budget in Ximending”
Rainbow Hotel is the best budget hotel you could stay in Ximending. No other hotel comes close in terms of location. Trust me. Apart from location, the next best thing about the hotel is their staff. All of them have been very accommodating. They give you a 5-star treatment despite the 3-star rating of the hotel. The hotel is being renovated. We were there last 12 to 16 January and by then, the elevator was being refurbished but remained functional. The hotel wasn't crowded so despite the small space in the elevator, it did the job of getting us to the 9th floor where our room was. The rooms were cleaned daily but i cant say that for the sheets. We both felt itchy with the sheets but manage to sleep anyway. Cigar smoke often smells in the room even if none of us are smoking. But you get used to it. You can save up on breakfast and noon coffee or tea. Its basic breaky food but served buffet style. Despite all this, we'd still come back and sty here. Promise.

Great Location and New Look”
Rainbow hotel is always the hotel we always booked whenever we are at Taipei. Been 2 years since our last trip and the rooms have been given new furnishing and look. We are pleased during our stay and they have also given us a free upgrade. The staff are always very polite and friendly, willing to go extra mile to help us.. if there is anything to improve, maybe the breakfast options. There is only 1 staff and seems like short-handed.

Worth for the money ”
Located at a very good location, the heart of the buzzing shopping district - Ximending. No need to worry if you get hungry because many food stores are just beside the hotel and bus stop and MRT stations are all within walking distance. The hotel itself is quite small and old, the rooms too. Perhaps it’s the worn out structure that made the room seemed abit dirty. Close proximity between rooms so noises around could be heard easily, flushing system is quite noisy. Very small room but have all basic necessities required. Breakfast is okay, not much variety but acceptable. If you are someone who do not mind small spaces and just seeking for an affordable accommodation in Taipei, you may want to consider Rainbow Hotel. Prime location and affordable price. To sum it up, you get what you pay for. But overall, I have enjoyed my stay in Taipei due to the convenience.

The best hotel ”
If you’re into night markets, busy streets, energetic ambiance, prefers a budget hotel, I would recommend Rainbow Hotel. The center of Ximending, with very good service and breakfast, with (merienda) or tea hour. You’ll be surrounded with lots of milk tea shops, souvenirs, attractions, perfect for teen or millennial travellers.

Friendly staff”
Excellent location - Hotel located at the heart of Ximending and near MRT station. Value for money - Free breakfast and vending machine for hot/cold water round the clock. We love the porridge for breakfast. Tasty and fresh condiments. Toast, scrambled eggs, ham and cakes. Coffee and soft drinks machines available. Warm service - All the staff are service oriented. They made us feel at home. They went extra mile to deliver service that wow us. I lost my makeup kit onboard and the staff helped me to call the airport police to check on the status of the lost and found item. Rooms are 3rd floor are much bigger than 5th floor but 5th floor has better view and less noisy. Overall we are all very satisfied with the hotel and will book this hotel again should we were to visit Taipei again.

Excellent”
I love Taipei and the Ximenting area! This was my first time at the Rainbow Hotel, and I liked it a lot. Everything is close. One does have to deal with the crowds, but that is fine if you are prepared. I liked the breakfast, and the staff was very very friendly! I am returning in December, and I think I will stay here again.

Excellent Service”
Rainbow hotel is well-maintained, cleaned, the location is at the market, accessible to mrt(ximen) ))))and bus station. They provided room with two separate beds and we requested to change it to one large bed, and they were immediately responsive to transfer us to another room. The manager and the staffs were very accomodating. We leave our baggage in the hotel lobby for two days after we checked-out because we went to Formosan and Taichung . Thank you Rainbow Hotel fo the great experience.

Superb Location”
We traveled as a family with 2 young adults children. Booked 2 different size room , the standard double bed room is kinda small . My kids' room was bigger and more spacious so you need to look at the size of the room when you booked if space is priority to you. But for us if was ok as we used the room to rest and sleep only. The rooms and bathroom are very clean but the towels are rather worn. I love the location as it is in the smack of the pedestrian shopping area of Ximending. I just have to come to the main door and shopping is just there. As my intention for my last 2 days in Taipei is only to shop. We are surrounded by shops, restaurants and cafes. Which is great. The staff are very helpful and polite and you can leave your luggage with them if your flight is later in the day. One thing though, as its along the pedestrian shopping area, your transport cannot drop off at the entrance of the hotel during the peak hours. Just its just a short walk to the main road.

Wonder Stay in Ximending”
First time staying at this hotel, location was good, fairly close to Ximending station. There are no shortage of food and with shops like 7-Eleven, Watsons. Whatever you need is close at hand. The outside of the hotel is noisy as it is in the intersection but the hotel rooms are quiet enough, my room was upgraded and that was a plus, the only downside is that they have a single lift, but since it is a small hotel, it is negligible Staff are courteous and I've no issue with them. If you are not super picky, it is a nice cozy place to explore the rest of Taipei. Also taxis may not be able to go to the hotel as the streets are closed to traffic at certain times of the day, especially night time.

Surprised!”
This trip to Taiwan, I stayed at 2 hotels & 1 minsu at different cities but only the staff at Rainbow Hotel saw my birth date on passport & wished me Happy B'day even when it was few days ago. This came as a surprise so it sort of won me over. We reached Rainbow Hotel 2.45pm & was told cannot check-in as my room on 5th floor only ready after 3.15pm. They offered a room at 3rd floor but hotel is in ximending area & I was travelling with a child so I decided not to take low floor in case noisy at night. I left luggage at hotel & went on for other activities before check-in evening time. Triple room seems big & clean but was quite shocked to find a used towel hanging in the cupboard & used soap in the bath area! I didn't complain as it was late & we were already tired. The next day, I requested for room cleaning & when I returned at night, room appeared neat & clean so I didn't bother to highlight about previous day's used towel & used soap incidents. Breakfast is basic not fantastic

Great location”
Location is great, service is good too. Staff took note of our request and had arranged it prior to us reaching the hotel. Check in was brisk and took only 2 mins despite us arriving earlier than check in time. Bed was a little too soft for our liking. Other than that, everything was perfect. Just a note to other travellers, unless really needed, do not choose "book now, pay later" option as the rate charged is really poor compared to price shown during booking. No fault of Rainbow hotel though.

Good location”
Third time staying at Rainbow Hotel. Absolutely love the location as it is right in the middle of Ximending walking district and just about 3 minutes walk to Exit 6 of Ximen mrt station. There are many shops and food places nearby which open until late so you can eat and shop then go back hotel to put down your bags and continue downstairs for more shopping :) The room is clean and complete with toiletries. Room is cleaned up everyday too. The only downside of the hotel is that the bed is very shaky and unstable so you can feel every little movement and might disrupt your sleep if you are a light sleeper. There is only 1 lift so need to wait a while for it to come. Other than that , the hotel is overall a good choice.
