I chose Hilton Taipei Sinban despite reading mixed reviews, hoping for a positive experience during our two-week stay. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by a friendly female concierge and check-in staff, and the morning housekeeping team was very polite and helpful. Initially, we felt confident in our decision until we experienced repeated issues with the night concierge, Justin C.
One night, we requested three complimentary water bottles since we hadn’t asked for housekeeping. Justin brought only two, stating that each room is only allowed two bottles, even though we clearly had three guests. After some discussion, he eventually brought the third bottle.
Another time, we asked for coffee and creamer. He delivered the coffee but not the creamer, and then insisted we hadn’t asked for it. Rather than resolving the issue, he dismissed our request.
The most frustrating experience came on check-out day. We asked for bell boy service to help with our luggage, and Justin came to the room. We requested five more minutes to fix some things and he said he’d return, but never did. Pressed for time, we had to carry six luggages to the lobby ourselves. At check-out, Justin stood beside the front desk staff but didn’t acknowledge us or offer help.
We expected a high standard of service from a Hilton property, but this stay was a disappointment. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning to Hilton Taipei Sinban in the future.
