We had a fantastic stay in this hotel. The lobby is very well designed and staff is very professional and friendly. We love the fact that we could get coffee and food in Starbucks. And it is super close to a MRT station and Taipei centre. Also, they provide gym and self service laundry. The view from our room is great. We were very pleased with the hotel and glad to stay there for our Taipei trip. Highly recommend if it fits your budget.

Hotel room has great view of Taipei 101. Staff are really nice and services are brilliant.
Our trip was disrupted by the Heathrow closure, so was delayed for 1 day. The hotel team was brilliant and accommodating, allowing us to cancel one night despite very short notice.
The location is walkable, but a little far from MRT station (~10 minutes walk).

The Regent was in a great area, very close to the Zongahsan metro for the Red and Green lines which can take you to most of the major sites in Taipei. There are 2 7/11's next to the hotel and a laundry a 5 minute walk away (we did 2 full loads washed and tumble dried for the price of 1 pair of underwear at the hotel - just saying!)
There are loads of restaurants, fast food places, shops and bars. The hotel itself is very nice for Taipei, but not as good as a 5 Star you'd get in another...

For a fulfilling experience that covers key landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions such as temples, museums, monuments, cafes, and dining, plan to stay for at least 2 to 3 days. This itinerary provides great value for money while allowing you to explore Taipei's rich heritage and vibrant culture, ensuring a memorable and budget-friendly adventure.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: You may discover attractive hotel deals to Taipei by exploring the Dealsopens in new window section on Hotels.com.

Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so being flexible with your dates could help you save on your stay in a Taipei hotel. For those interested in unique experiences, boutique hotels may offer a more personalised service and potentially better value.
