Rainbow Hotel

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.

It is quite dated but the 5-person room I booked was great for our family. Just that there was only 1 bathroom. The bathtub was not in the greatest condition but everything was functioning. Great location as it is right in the middle of Ximending and walkable to Ximen station. We loved the location and enjoyed our stay. Was super grateful that we were able to check-in earlier than 5pm due to low season. Enjoyed the free snacks and drinks that were available. Pretty good stay for us.

The only good thing about this hotel is the location. It's very convenient and easy to go around for food and shopping. Other than that, everything else is terrible about this hotel: it is very old, not so clean, there's a very bad smell in the bathroom on the 3rd floor dining area, bad customer service, building structure is terrible (water leaks inside the room from the window when raining), very limited daylights in the room, and most important, there's ants inside the room! Horrible! Overall this hotel is old and not good. I will not recommend.

Good location but run down property Free snacks and water

Excellent hotel very convenient to shopping, restaurants, and street food. It was a very large comfortable room. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful.

The hotel is located in the middle of Ximending and it take only about 3 mins walk from Ximen Station Exit 6. Lots of dining options nearby and definitely a hotel that I will go back again.

We appreciated the prompt sevice request for extra pillows. Cleaning the room, making the beds, and giving us ckean fres towels everyday made our stay very comfortable. Thank you very much

The best thing about the property is accessibility. It is right in the middle of the Ximen night market with shopping and food choices. It is a few minute walk from the Ximen Station, which is 1 ride away from Taipei Station. The 2nd best thing is the free snacks and drinks. The 3rd is the good room and comfort room size that are comfortable. The room itself is basic but no complaints. Worth it for the price. Recommended and will stay again.

Perfect spot

Old hotel Conveniently located in the heart of Ximending

Staff are friendly. Good customer service for travellers including same day delivery laundry service, lounge area serving free drinks and cookies. Hotel is located inside the Ximenting business area, perfect for travellers.

Staffs were super friendly. Highly recommended.

Disappointing Stay – Not Recommended I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. The building is extremely old and poorly maintained, which immediately gives a bad impression upon arrival. The cleanliness was unacceptable — the bathroom had visible mold, which made it feel unsanitary and uncomfortable to use. The towels provided were greyish rather than white, clearly worn out and not properly cleaned. To make matters worse, the receptionist was unfriendly and unhelpful. It's unfortunate when staff show little regard for hospitality, especially when guests are already dealing with subpar conditions. The only positive aspect of this hotel is its location, which is convenient and central. However, that alone is not enough to justify staying here. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and strongly suggest looking elsewhere for better value and comfort.

Easy access around ximending

The hotel is situation in the heart of Ximending so it's really convenient and fun for visitors. Despite the activities outside, the building is quite well insulated from the street noise. The hotel is quite basic, but the staff is very friendly. My (standard) room was small but clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel has a dining area on level 3 with FREE snacks, coffee and soft drinks!! Highly recommended if you are looking for a no-frills, budget-friendly hotel.

Hotel location is excellent. Standard room is very small but clean. Bed is comfortable and you can get free coffee, soft dr
