Find Hotels in Shilin District, Taiwan

The staff was amazing, and the decor of the hotel was well done. However, the hotel is a bit far from the MRT. There's a bus stop near the entrance, but it's a bit of a long ride to downtown Taipei. It near 2 7-11's and a Carrefour so late night food is not an issue. The hotel breakfast is nothing special, but filling. (Your standard breakfast congee, toppings, toast, etc). There's a cute cafe in the back of the hotel. The sitting area there is nice, and the food quaint.

I stayed for the duration of 10 nights. For a business traveller, that is a long period of time. I had to get an extra room due to rooming issues, and the hotel staff wrecked their heads to find a room for me, eventually housing me with an extra room at 11pm. They display the true spirit of Taiwan - friendly, warm, geniune. If you will like the treatment of international hotels worthy of five stars, coupled with sincerity of locals, Tianmu Dandy is certainly the place to stay. They were always there to open the doors for you, to meet your needs of any, and more importantly took great pride in all they did. Do ask them to recommend some local places, that's where you know you got a bang-for-you-buck. The location is in a high-end residential district and the estate is very peaceful and serene, but not remote. Going towards Shilin Night Market is a breeze, with all buses (Kong Che) heading that direction. Likewise, going towards any Metro stop is a whisker away. The return journey, for me at least, is a collection of memorable cab rides costing less than 4USD. From the city, it is about 8USD, which is very affordable. I will be returning to Taipei in mid-2014, and I've already decided on Tianmu Dandy Hotel as my choice of rest.

The hotel was great - I booked it within 5 minutes of reading the reviews here. It was pretty far from the airport (we paid 1,200 TWD by airport taxi), and difficult to spot especially in the Shilin district, where shops and buildings are aplenty. It doesn't help that they don't have a drop-off point either (I actually thought our cabbie conned us when he insisted that we had arrived at the hotel). Having said that, we've no regrets. Checking in was a 1 minute job, we dropped our bags and hopped over to the night market, eating and shopping within the next 5 minutes. Everything was so close by, the nearest station (Jiantan) was a 7-minute walk from our hotel. Daily breakfast was simple and pretty standard Chinese fare with the exception of cereals, sausages and eggs. I loved the shower area, tub and all. It's not like a SUPER FANTASTIC hotel but it was lovely and terribly conveniently located. I was honestly reluctant to leave :)

This apartment was conveniently located near Shilin Mrt, about 3 mins walk from the Exit to Fude road, look for the building “Joetsu” and the apartment was just behind after passing by a cosmic shop. Although the room was small for 2 persons, but the bed was clean & very comfortable to sleep on. Once reached, just use the telephone to contact the staff to open the door for you. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It was so convenient to walk to Shilin Night Market, Cixian Temple and Modern Toilet Restaurant (Wenlin Road) from this apartment. Also, it was easy to find 7-eleven, family mart, coffee shops and cafes too. Overall, it was value for money for a few days stay.

We booked the standard room and felt the room was quite spacious. Bottled water was provided daily. Breakfast was included however we opted to sleep in instead (Latest breakfast session was 9.30am) 5 minute walk to Shilin station and Shilin Night Market. Family Mart Convience Store and Chang Hwa bank (don't accept Australian Currency unfortunately, try Bank of Taiwan instead, a further 10mins away) just down the road towards the station. Awesome Japanese Izakaya restaurant nearby the hotel towards JiHe Road. Very happy with our stay!

Generally speaking, the hotel is clean and tidy, and its staffs are friendly and helpful. I do find that you might be able to block the noises from outside the building, but you can hear it when next-room makes some louder sounds. A/C is recommended to be turned up at all times since the room doesn't smell as fresh as the hallway, but it's a minor problem. We loved the breakfast come with our booking. Freshly prepared ingredients at buffet serving style. The buffet breakfast is not fancy but is delicious. We love it the most of a frying counter, where you may order customized pan-fried foods from eggs, omelets, bacon, and sausages at your choice. Good value for its price, and I will return.

Front desk staff spoke great English which was imperative for us as we speak no Taiwanese, and we needed to find the Shilin NIght Market. We chose this hotel specifically to be close to the famous Shilin Night Market and the Metro. It was centrally located in the middle of normal city life and apartment homes. It is in a well kept vintage building. I felt like a local, and felt safe even at night. I enjoy feeling the true nature of a city, and this is the hotel for that. the room was quiet, comfortable, clean, but not large, however, the bathroom was large and had a great spa bathtub. It was perfect for a short one night stay in Taipei. Had we been staying longer, I may have considered another hotel with a slightly larger room. Breakfast was surprisingly good, which is always appreciated. It was well suited for an Asian diet or Western. Price was perfect, at only $93.00. Enjoy Taipei!

MTR jiantan 2 just one minute walking distance. Shilin night market 6 minutes walking distance. If you stay longer period it’s so convenient if you book the room with washing machine (got dryer function) in your balcony. Detergent and softener were provided. We loved it so much. Please take note that the room is quite small indeed. If you have two big luggage, then you totally cannot fully open the luggage. But the room was very clean with amenities provided. Hair dryer is mobile type. While three international sockets were built in on the wall. No breakfast provided, but there was a common sitting area and simple snacks such as bread, sandwiches, salads and fruits, coffee and tea were provided 24 hours, served until finish. You can bring your own food bought from shilin night market, and microwave if needed.

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

I would say this is one of the best hostel in Taipei. Close to the Jiantan MRT station, around 5 mins walk, very close to Shilin Night Market which is just cross a road, surrounded by lots of shop, restaurant, bubble tea and a 7/11 just at the entrance. Room was clean and tidy with personal locker and slipper, bathrooms and toilets are clean with shower gel and shampoo ready. Staffs are friendly and helpful.

Overall - I enjoy myself in the resort. However, if you're looking for a big resort with all the facility, this is not the place. However, if you're looking for something smaller in size, peaceful and nice, and come with friendly & attentive staffs - combined with a cozy hot spring place....It is one of the best that I came across so far. If you're looking for a relaxing 3 day 2 night or 4 day 3 night get away .... where you can chill, swim, dip in the hot spring...or simply just lean next to your windows and read a good book....this is the place to be. It is about 15-minutes drive away from the city fringe - right on the mid-level of the hill - but it is never too far away from all the urban offerings...hence, it is really the best of both worlds for a discerning customers.

in mid september 2011, i checked in at a wonderfully wonderful beauty hotel, one of taiwan's boutique hotels chain. the hotel is located in tian mu, shilin district, the area where many expats live in taiwan. the hotel's breakfast i had today was awesome! from cawan mushi to french toasts and fruits... i was pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality! breakfast aside, the hotel offers complimentary ride to the mrt station in a mercedes benz for its guests! btw, the air inside the hotel is lightly scented to enhance the boutique hotel experience. being a boutique hotel in a nice location, space is limited. my single queen bed room was smaller than other hotels i've stayed in. but what they lack in space, they make up in superb service and contemporary decor that utilizes space super efficiently without sacrificing aesthetics.

We loved the location because we were only a few steps away from the Shilin Night Market and from the Taipei MRT Jiantan station. However, if you plan to go to other tourist attractions, or other night markets, keep in mind that the MRT stops at midnight and resumes the next day at 05:30am. There are other means of transport of course but for the travellers who can't figure out the bus system or can't afford to hire a car with a driver.

my husband and i were so impressed on the room design and cleanliness. we never expect they turn out so clean and comfortable almost like a 4 star hotel. shops are available for shopping just down the stairs. 2 minutes walk from shilin mtr station. the setbacks are the followings but ignorable to certain extends: 1. no elevators. you need to carry your luggage up till 2nd or 3rd floor (depending on your room) 2. room is quite tight. you'll have to sort out where to put your luggage bag a little. 3. no face towel is provided. 4. check in at beauty star hotel near jiantan mtr station will definitely our choice of stay the next time we're in shilin.

The other members of my party arrived without their luggage. The staff at the hotel communicated with the airline and arranged the delivery of the luggage the following day. I was very happy to see, upon entering the room, that the hotel provided so many toiletries; razor, toothbrush, hair brush and all the usual shampoo and soap. That was a huge help to my friends who had none of these things that first night in Taiwan.

Brilliant Experience !!!! it only took me around 15-20mins from Shilin station to the Spa hotel , every room is unique and we was offered an unique room with the outdoor Spa. The restaurant is so unexpected modern and the food quality is 6 stars to be honest, I can say the breakfast we have is the highlight of my stay, simple Enough with good quality. the host is super nice. I will definitely will stay there again and highly recommend to the traveller who loves natural environment.
