Great location and amazing staff”

Located in Ximen, Via hotel is right in the middle of the famous Ximending night market. Many famous and yummy food are available on foot, including Ah Zong Mian Xian. It was very convenient to travel by train to various parts of Taipei as the train station is only five minutes away on foot. There are complimentary snacks available 24/7 in the little pantry located on the second floor (I love the ginger tea) and a laundry room on the sixth floor where powder detergent is provided. We washed our clothes twice this trip! Staff are very sincere and friendly, especially Nicki, Jenny and Krison. Nicki helped us book a taxi to the airport and walked us all the way to the taxi and Jenny helped us secure a booking at the Taipei 101 Starbucks at short notice. The staff left a great impression! Little touches such complimentary cotton pads, contact lens solution, hair ties etc were very thoughtful. There was even a massage machine on the armchair in our room which we used every night!

Spacious hotel at a perfect location”

Via Hotel Ximen is a reasonably affordable hotel given it's size and location. First of all, the location is unbeatable, just 4 mins from the Ximen station and right in the middle of Ximending. Hotel is near all the action and yet it's quiet and cosy - you won't be able to hear noise from the streets. Hotel check in area is on the 2nd storey, there's a small lounging area with free snacks and drinks 24 hrs. The staff are friendly and nice. Room is spacious, and i appreciate the generous shower space and a rack to put the toiletries (most hotel bathroom don't even provide this anymore). Bed is also large, and my room came with a small sofa, good for lounging or putting things. I also love the huge and HD TV. The only thing i didn't like was the mattress. The mattress in my room might be abit old and it was sunken in, hence i couldn't sleep well and have a slight backache almost everyday. Other than the bed, i love everything about Via Hotel Ximen and would definitely visit again.

Good location , friendly staffs and 24 hours pantry ”

Great location with just 5mins from Ximending MRT station Right in the heart of the shopping district, close to the subway, street food everywhere. Room is slightly small but clean and well maintained, bed is comfortable (but too soft for my preference :) The staffs are very friendly and helpful. My family especially love the second level 24 hours pantry with snacks, pastry, coffee soft drink etc.. Also have self laundry. They provide herbal Eggs at 9am every morning and instant noodles at 9pm every night . Overall a very pleasant stay and would definitely stay at Via Hotel Ximen on our next trip to Taipei.

Excellent location, hotel room and staff.”

Would highly recommend Via Hotel Ximen for anyone travelling in Taipei. Its located right in the heart of Ximending with just a short 2 minute walk to Exit 6 Ximen MRT Station. Nice and friendly staff with bright smiles and great service which made us feel very welcomed. Room has a spacious bath tub to relax. Hotel has a 24 hour complimentary food bar for snacks and coffee. 3 Star Hotel with 5 Star service, room and location.

Great hotel. Great location. Large room. Friendly staff. Open lobby snack bar”

After going through several options for my first trip to Taiwan, I finally decided on Via Hotel Ximen. Its location is right close to the bustling Ximending Walking Area. It was fairly easy to find from Exit 6 of the Ximen Metro Station. The room had a HUGE bed, which was comfortable. No wardrobe (there is a hanging shelf but it's only enough to fit a few shirts) though there is a kettle and mugs plus a safe. Quite useful is the handy phone, which allows free local calls and unlimited data. I wish my room had windows, though. The staff are great, especially the lady who cleans the 6th floor. The lobby snack bar serves unlimited snacks all day/night, even tea eggs in the morning. Seating is somewhat limited though. A big plus is the laundry room, which supplies free washing powder.

Great location and services”

Via hotel ximen is right in Ximending and it's a 2mins walk to the mtr station. As its lobby is at level 2 of the building, you might missed it when the street vendors comes out for business at night. But still a great location. Hotel staffs are super friendly and helpful. They never fail to impress us with their superb services! Also there are a well stocked pantry and small bites with free flow drinks all of which are available 24/7. It certainly a good to go place for a quick bite before heading out in the morning or when feeling peckish in the middle of the night. Thanks Via Hotel Ximen for everything and we will certainly be back!

Near Perfect Experience”

I never thought I would recommend a non-star-rated hotel to anyone. But Via Hotel Ximen changed my mind and I am here assuring you of the near-perfection of this hotel. Room: We stayed in a room where we got 1 single bed and 1 double bed. The beds were clean and they smelled like 5-star. (Not sure if you care about the smell and touching but we do.) The space also included a couch for 2, a desk for 2, and some space left which made the room perfectly comfortable. The bathroom was just the right size. The only thing you shouldn't expect is closet or wardrobe. It didn't bother us though. Staff & Service: The staff welcomed us with a big smile and he carefully talked us through the 'house rules' that was the very important part. They don't serve breakfast or any meal on a day but they do have a snack corner (it's a lovely pantry) with 24hrs-served soft drinks, tea, coffee, selected bread, instant noodles, and some other cookies. (How wonderful!) Also, there was a cupboard in the common area in which you could find guest expendables such as gargle, floss, tampon, toothbrush, and even phone charger. (I know these are common items but they made it all-you-can-take. That's attitude! ) Location: It's like 3 mins walk from MRT Ximen Station. The area is full of young vibe, easy to get daily supply, trendy shops, and restaurants. Also, it's like 10 mins walk to the Red Building - the famous gay bars. Conclusion: Near Perfect!

good location in ximending”

my fiancé and I went for holiday and enjoyed our stay at via hotel. it is right in the middle of ximending night market and a very short walk to ximen mrt. It is also very convenient to get to the airport with the Taoyuan airport mrt (at Taipei main station, one stop away from ximen station). There is a 24/7 snack counter bar with drinks and water. Room service (cleaning up the room) was not very consistent, one day the bed was not made, another day they topped up new bottles of water but other days there weren't (we top up at the snack/drink counter). Bathroom had a private hot spring tub as well which was good. Overstay was good.

Via Hotel has all the important points covered in travelling! ”

First, location You can not find a place better than Via Hotel. location is right smack in the middle of Ximen. When you go down, food choices are there, 711 is right there, Starbcuks is right there, a big building of Uni Qlo and H&M is right there. everything you need is there. more importantly the TRAIN STATION is just there. really, you can't ask for anything more in terms of location Second Hotel Room is very very clean and decent sized I was very surprised to find our hotel room have a decent size. pur group just got a normal room and fit us comfortably. beds were clean, sheets were clean, room didn't smell like smoke. again thumbs up Third Bathroom was awesome The bathroom was very clean and big. You could even turn the shower into a bathtub if you want. The shower pressure was also very good. It wasn't dripping water from the shower. The bathroom was actually the big A plus point for me. its big size, shower was very decent, clean and even had the option of bathtub if you had a long day There is free laundry, free bread and drinks 24/7 Price is also very decent. Our stay in Taiwan was made more enjoyable because we stayed in Via Hotel. Highly Highly Recommended!

Best hotel I’ve stayed in Taipei so far”

Location is 10/10. Right smack in the middle of Ximending. The moment you go down, you can start eating and shopping. Like most hotels in taipei, they do not serve breakfast, but what they do have is a 24/7 mini bar available for all guests. The mini bar is rather extensive and they also have tea leave eggs in the morning and cup noodles at night. Room is rather spacious and I love the bath tub! There’s also a back massager available in the room for use. I don’t understand why some people said the room is small? Their staff is the highlight in this review. I gotta commend them for being extra helpful. It was raining when we checked out and we had to walk to ximen exit 6. Seeing that we do not have umbrellas and were carrying a lot, they offered us umbrellas and walked with us and even offered to help me carry some of my stuff to lighten the burden. Thank you so much for the hospitality! I’ll definitely be back.

Location is excellent - right in the heart of Ximending! Comfortable stay.”

The hotel was located right in the heart of ximending and was only approximately 5 mins walk from Ximen station exit 6 (if i rmb correctly). The hotel's entrance was through a clothing shop tucked away in one of the food alleys however there was no odd smells to welcome you as you make your way to the lift to go to reception on 2nd floor. Check-in was quick, room was adequately stocked with water and a fridge and the usual hotel amenities. We were on the 5th floor and away from the lift which was mostly quiet. There was free flow of snacks and drinks on level 2 which was a nice treat. The hotel room itself was good-sized considering the rooms in taipei can be quite small in some hotels. Enough space to open up 2 large luggages. Bathroom was good-sized and clean too. It was comfortable stay overall. Will definitely stay again for the location and comfortable room/service!

Stayed in a Double Deluxe Room - 8th to 10th June 2017”

The location of the hotel is just in the middle of Ximending and less than 5 minutes walk from Ximen Station exit 6. For some may have difficulties to locate it actual location. It is situated along a small shopping lane. Do look out for the address - Lane 114, Zhonghua Rd, Sec 1. The hotel provides unlimited refreshment (coffee/tea/cold drink) and food (bread/biscuit/egg,cup noodle) at no extra cost. I like the free usage of the washing and drying facilities located at 6th level. The room is just nice for a couple but if you are having BIG traveling bags, you may find have trouble to place them. There is also a weighing machine at the lobby for usage. Overall, we like it very much and will definitely come back to VIA Hotel again. Cheers !

Great service and location for non-luxury hotel”

Via hotel Ximen First of all, the location of this hotel is so perfect as it is in Ximen shopping district. There are inexpensive clothing stores, eateries, and several claw game arcades for kids to enjoy basically “downstairs” (10nt per game). Although there isn’t breakfast, the hotel provides coffee, tea, toasts, and a giant array of snacks (cookies, crackers…) to choose from and drinks that are free 24/7. They also provide ramen cups after 9 pm and a self service free laundry room from 9am-10pm. The hotel room is well-lighted and the bathroom is clean with strong water pressure shower. The hotel staff is very helpful as they gave us direction to different shopping areas and night markets. Overall, I would stay here again!!

Great hotel with friendly staff & good location”

Our 2nd time staying in Via Hotel ; This time together with our parents. Location is right in the middle of Ximending, around 5 mins walk from mrt station. Although it is located in an alley, it wasn't difficult to find. Just in the alley where Starbucks is. Street food are just right outside of the hotel. Room was clean & comfortable size as we chose a bigger room. Do note that the economy room is quite small. If you don't mind, it's good enough for 2 pax to stay in. Room amenities replenish everyday. There is a 24 hours bar counter at the lobby level. Coffee, tea, soft drinks, snacks all available with no restrictions. Staff were all very friendly too! Very good service. Price is of course on the higher side since the hotel is just right in the middle of Ximending. Highly recommended. Will surely stay in this hotel again in future! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Staycation”

My family (2adult + 1kid) stayed at Via Hotel Ximen in mid-October. Front desk staff (especially Jenny) was really courteous and approachable. Although they don't provide breakfast, the hotel management was kind to provide a 24/7 corner with simple food/ration and coffee machine. Really thoughtful of Via Hotel. Route to Ximending Exit.6 is an estimated 5-6mins walk. One wont have to worry about going hungry staying here, the surrounding amenities is well covered. I will stay again in my next return trip.

Great Hotel of Ximending ”

If you like street food,Game center and shopping , I strongly recommend you to stay at Ximending and the Perfect Hotel to stay is Via Hotel Ximen.Location is superb just few minutes walk from ximen station exit 6 (blue and green line),Has 7-11 store at the corner of street (50 meters form hotel). This hotel don't have breakfast but you can enjoy snack bar and drinks(soft drink coffee tea) 24 hours at lobby (2F) of hotel.The room was cozy and clean.TV have many English channels,we even can watch F1 while we have trip in Taiwan.We will come back to this hotel AGAIN!! :D

Perfect Location & free coffee is nice touch”

Location is perfect right in ximending & few mins from mtr exit 6. Next to 7-11 & Starbucks. Perfect for a solo lady traveller like me. It's also nice that there is a refreshment area which serve 24 hour free machine coffee & snacks. Room is small but presumably when in ximending u would not be spending much time in room. I will definitely stay here again & highly recommend this hotel. It seems bus coaches no longer drop or pick up from ximending to airport. When departing, It's a little hassle to drag all the shopping bags & commute via train (to Taipei train station) to transfer to a coach, cab is an option. Suggest u do left turn & flag a cab from the main road. I managed to get a cab for 800 NTD (I believed mkt rate is 1000 NTD). I am hesitant to get those cab who wait in XMD area, have a feeling they are relatively expensive

Fantastic Location & Great Service!”

Via Hotel is located right smack in the heart of Ximending and just below the hotel are where the shopping & food area is. Its a mere 2 mins walk from the Ximen MRT station. Room is not too big, typical Taiwanese hotel size, but definitely clean. Service from front desk & housekeeping is fantastic. Not to forget, there is free flow snacks & drinks at the front desk anytime ready for u + a laundry room that lets u wash & dry yr clothes. Nothing much more to complain about really.
