Energy Inn

Ideally located in a quiet alley a couple of blocks from the lively Ximending night market. The area is very walkable and safe. The hotel is trying really hard to appeal to travelers. Small things stand out, like the luggage scale in the lobby and various informational notices in the elevator. It was refreshingly different from the large chain hotels.

We felt completely relaxed and taken care of by the kind reception staff, attentive cleaning staff, and the lovely breakfast staff. The whole team works as a single, friendly unit to ensure things go smoothly for guests. Anything you need help or advice with, they go the extra mile to ensure you have it. All floors are accessible by elevator or stairs. The hotel / hotel / inn leads right into a side street that connects to the broader Ximen district and MRT station within minutes. There are many food options around, from vegetarian, street food, hot pot, healthy foods, etc. The breakfast is phenomenal and healthy with the option of either Chinese or western food each day. The rooms are spacious (we had a normal double room). The inn welcomes families, couples, and groups of friends it seems like. You will be glad to choose this delightful spot while in Taiwan.

Although it is located in Ximending which is known for being busy, the hotel is tucked back in a side street away from all the noise. It is a 10 minute walk to the Ximen metro station exit 6 and has everything you would want within a block (restaurants, convenient stores, coffee shops, shopping and street food). This was THE BEST experience we have ever had with the staff at a hotel. They are kind, caring, really care about your convenience. The hotel is clean, room was pretty spacious and comfortable. The bathroom is roomy with a Japanese toilet (will miss the heated seat), shower has plenty of hot water with good pressure. The bed is a bit firm but only if you have an issue with your back. The breakfast was AMAZING. we could not get over the options and the portions. There is laundry on site, a small kitchen in the common area and plenty of drink options in the morning. We will definitely come back and stay at this hotel. Normally we would not want to be in the middle of action but this hotel just has too many positives for us to go somewhere else. HIGHLY SUGGEST.

This was a great hotel! It's in a quiet alley close to the Ximen MRT stop, and convenient for walking around all the stalls and shops that open in the evenings in Ximending. Lots of useful amenities like a selection of delicious fresh cooked breakfast every morning (either Western style or Taiwanese dishes), A/C, WiFi, laundry, and a kitchen area for guests to use. Everyone at the front desk and cafe were helpful and friendly, and our room was comfortable and clean. The rooms have a conservation theme - ours was about a native species of cat in Taiwan. If we're ever back in Taipei we'd definitely stay here again.

We stayed 4nights there. Cozy bed and clean room. Staff was really polite and helpful. Breakfast was great (fresh and delicious).The public kitchen had a coffee maker machine and microwave. Only 400m from MRT Ximen exit6 (this exit had the elevator), beleive me it was only a short walk coz all the way to hotel have many shops and convenience stores. Family mart , starbucks coffee, cosmed store are around the corner. Our room was big enough for family with child. Bathroom had separate wet and dry spaces. Only down side was no bidet shower in the room, but our room had a japanese bathtub. We will stay there when we will visit TAIPEI again
