Cheap Hotels in Zhongshan

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 country. Staff were very helpful and courteous. The room was nice and we had a view of Taipei 101. We also got little stockings on christmas morning on the door filled with sweets, which was super cute. We did find it very very busy as the hotel was in its own sort of shopping mall. I have never seen a hotel with so many people in the lobby day and night. We were never sure of what part of the foyer/restaurant was the bar to just have a drink as the area was massive and not easy to work out what what what. We never used the gym or pool and usually I would always use the gym, but you had to go down in the normal elevator to the lobby and then change elevators and walk down several flights of stairs to get to the fitness centre. Because the elevators were always busy and had people in them, it felt really awkward to get into one in gym kit and then walk through the lobby to the next elevator/stairs. Coming back up all sweaty would have felt even more awkward. Would I stay again? Maybe!

The hotel has it unique characteristic history, decorations etc that no other hotels around have. Very pleasant stay.

Bed and pillows are wonderful, spacious room and helpful staff.

Cool

Hospitality of the staff.

Great room. Wonderful breakfast. Afternoon tea and Japanese restaurant were very nice too.
