Top notch location and services. This hotel was beyond my expectations. Faced no issue at all. Staff was polite and friendly, checking and checkout were smooth and it is so conveniently located right outside the entrance to the MRT (Shongshan-Xindian line). Breakfast had variety of vegetarian options and every single dish served was tasty, hot and authentic. Room size was a bit small, but hey it’s Taipei… it was well maintained, quiet and pleasant staying here.
We stayed here for 7 days. We had free vegan breakfast. Our room was clean and there was on site laundry. Beautiful experience all around. Coming back one day.
Excellent stay at Capital Hotel Songshan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A really enjoyable and comfortable stay from start to finish. The hotel is clean, modern, and well maintained, with rooms that feel fresh and thoughtfully designed. Everything you need is provided, making it easy to settle in and relax. The location is a big highlight—super convenient for getting around Taipei, with great access to public transport, shops, and local food spots. It made exploring the city effortless. The staff were friendly and professional, always welcoming and happy to help with anything needed. Great value for money and a reliable choice for anyone visiting Taipei. Would happily stay here again!
Old run down neighbourhood. Small lobby. Deluxe rooms 01-06 face main street can be noisy. Standard rooms 07-12 quieter but face next building across a narrow laneway with windows looking in. Vegetarian breakfast. Budget hotel.
DUST, DARK ALLEY, UNCLEAN SHEETS, BEWARE The hotel lobby is a check in area. There is no lounge or seating area. If you are driving, there is no car park assigned. You need to park right in front of the hotel, quickly unload your luggages and leave the parking space. There are 13 levels in the building, with 2 lifts. The lifts are often slow to wait. What made me uncomfortable is the layout of the hotel. When you exit the lift, there’s 2 sections for the rooms - left or right. The right side is ok, it looks like normal hotel. However, there are more rooms located towards the left. You will need to go past a very dark alley (especially at night) with lots of fire/exit staircase, walk further down to reach your room. I never expected more rooms over there as it seriously looks like a dead end. As you walk, you can see all the wall paint peeling, it’s really creepy. The room is small. We could not open 2 luggages concurrently, and needed to close one and open the other one. The toilet is ok, especially the basin and toilet bowl area. It is an automatic toilet bowl. Shower is in the bathtub itself, so unfriendly for elderly given that the height of the bathtub is relatively high. It was challenging to get out of the bathtub (I’m 162cm) No toothpaste provided. I did not use the hair dryer as it looks dusty. Carpet is beyond horrendous. It has so much dust I wonder how long they did not clean it? It looks like it has been accumulated over years. Those with dust or dust mite allergies, pls take note. They do not provide hotel slippers, pls bring your own. Next is the cabinet. The outer layer of paint has come off. Fridge and safe are provided. Bed looks ok UNTIL I flipped the blanket and saw: 1. Footstep on bedsheet 2. One strand of lady hair underneath the bedsheet 3. Blood on inner part of the blanket 4. Moustache or nostril hairs on the edge of the blanket Very evidently, they did not wash their bedsheets and blankets at all and reused them…….. Lastly, overall the hotel is soooo bad I decided to max out all my time outside until super late night hanging out at shops nearby or sitting at family mart instead of returning to my room… Also, doesn’t need to tap key card to get to the rooms, which makes me question the level of security. Photos attached. Raohe market is nearby, but I don’t think you should compromise comfort, piece of mind, and cleanliness over location. If you are someone who values cleanliness, I don’t think this place is for you. I hope my review will save a few travellers and allow them to have better sleep and comfort in Taipei.
