Rainbow Hotel

The hotel is situated in the heart of Ximending, which is very convenient for travellers who would like to visit this busy district and enjoy night life without having to worry about making their way back to the hotel. The place is very clean and offers free snacks and drinks.

Great location!! The 24-hour lounge service is amazing, very convenient, unlimited coffee and soda! The staff are approachable and friendly. Highly recommended!!

Perfect location. It’s near everything and the met is 2 mins away.

Friendly helpful staff goes above and beyond beyond to help customers. This hotel is in a great location. Walkable, a lot of shopping and food choices.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Great location.

Best location but everything else was ok !

Location is good. Staff friendly. Property is old. Otherwise will be perfect

Great location but unclean, random room cleaning schedule, clogged toilet for 36 hours and random air conditioning outages.

Great stay

Great location. WiFi was a bit weak in the room.

Best location, nice staff, property is a bit run downed but the location beats it all.

Is good

The room is clean, and the hotel is just right there in the middle of the tourist spot.

the hotel is basic. location is excellent. very much at the heart of night market. but surprisingly, I did not hear the street noise. The walls are thin so the noice from hallway is audible. There is no food option within the facility but as it is in the heart of the ximending area, then it really does not need it.

If you are shopaholic and foodaholic, this is the hotel you should book! Location is perfect and Ximending is the suburb that never sleep! The hotel service is quick (when we have issue with our door key) and efficient (book for airport transfer and having someone to guide and take us to taxi). Even though the hotel is just only 3 star rating, the room is being kept clean and tidy everyday upon our request. There is an eating place at one of the floor (outside food allowed) with soft drinks, tea and coffee machine plus snacks provided to us who stayed in the hotel. A generous compliment gift bag (pineapple cake and fragrance soap) was given to us who celebrated NEW YEAR in this hotel. Highly recommended hotel and you will enjoy the vibrant night life here!

Friendly staff

Very very convenient location. Is inside 西门丁, 5min walk from Mrt to hotel...room abit small for standard room. But i like it. Foc drinks 24hrs at level 3 Service very good and friendly Highly recommended

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. It surprised me. Based on the reviews I’d read, I braced myself and set my expectations low, but it was a good stay. The double room I got was medium sized and clean with daily housekeeping. The Taiwanese government has banned hotels from providing guests single-use amenities for environmental reasons. so you won’t get any, but they provide body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Each room has its own private WiFi setup which I’ve never seen before, but sometimes, it was spotty. There is no breakfast, but on the 3rd floor are small fridges of free mini canned soft drinks, a hot drinks machine that also does hot chocolate (!) and a box of packets of chips (or crisps, depending on where you’re from). All they ask is that you don’t waste them. There are also tables on that floor, for people to share meals with their traveling group if needed. The hotel is right in the middle of the Ximending shopping area, which can get, crowded. My window faced the street, but I always wear noise masking earbuds to sleep, so I don’t know how noisy it could get. The bathroom was a bit small, but had a bath tub, shower and toilet. The hotel location makes it easy to access transport links, food, shopping and is 20 mins from Taipei Main Station where the Express train from Taoyuan Airport stops. There is even a Sports Center nearby, at NT$ 50 per hour to use the gym/pool facilities, if you are someone who needs to. And there are a number of laundromats close too

Rainbow hotel is NOT a pretty hotel. However it is very good enough to explore ximending and the surrounding area. From the reception area to the rooms , totally outdated and looked so tired of a hotel. The room was clean enough to stay in . No restaurant, however, their former restaurant is now a pantry where stayers can enjoy free snacks and drinks. Wi fi is not that bad but the room where i stayed is so slow that i have to go the pantry/ 3rd floor to have a better signal. If you are not fussy with aesthetics and comfort, this will be good enough.

The in-room air conditioning was a major problem—it felt no different from the 98-degree heat outside in Taipei. Since I work U.S. hours, restful sleep is crucial, but instead I had a miserable experience. Maintenance was called in, inspected the unit, and appeared to be addressing the issue, but there was no improvement whatsoever. I ultimately left a day early and moved to another hotel. While the location is convenient, the service is lacking. To add to the disappointment, the hotel permitted homeless individuals to sleep on the stairs at the entrance, which hardly felt like a welcoming arrival.
