A brand new hotel located in Taipei county (Shenkeng Township), Holiday Inn East Taipei is nestled away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Taipei yet close enough for those who are into the city's good food & shopping.
While there is no MRT within walking distance from the hotel, the hotel does provide a reasonably good shuttle service to and from Taipei City Hall MRT station as well as Taipei 101. The shuttle service is free and operates daily, unlike in some hotels where the shuttle service operates only on weekdays or during trade exhibitions/fairs. If you missed the hourly shuttle service, taxis are readily available and a ride to the nearest MRT station, Mucha, will take only about 10 minutes and cost you only around NTD120 (less than USD4). From Mucha MRT station, you can take the MRT into downtown Taipei in approximately 15 minutes and the fare is only NTD30 (less than USD1).
There are some eateries near the hotel and a convenience store (7-Eleven) is located right beside the hotel. Also within walking distance is the famous Shenkeng Tofu Street. The new attraction, Maokong Gondola, is also within reach by a 5 to 10-min cab ride.
Rooms are extremely spacious and well-furnished. I was upgraded to a double deluxe room and it was simply fantastic. The separate living room which comes with a separate plasma TV and workdesk is perfect for those inviting guests/business partners over for a chat. There was also ample supply of bathroom toiletries and minibar items. In-room safe was large enough for even the older types of laptop computers.
The coffee house serves reasonably priced food and drinks. The decor and atmosphere of the place are just right.
Staff are very professional and helpful. The conceirge has some of the most helpful and amiable staff I have ever seen in my numerous travelling around the world. The service is simply beyond 5-star!
All in all, a fantastic hotel which upholds the strong reputation of the Holiday Inn trademark. I would strongly recommend this to everyone!
