宏洲旅社HZ Hotel

Good location, very close to Ximending night market. It’s not noisy during the night time and convenient to commute to MRT, bus and train stations. The room is small but clean. The receptionist — Kai is helpful and very friendly.
Please be aware that check in time is at 5pm. The hotel let you leave your luggage at theirs in case you arrive earlier.
*Missing some hooks in the restroom to hang clothes.

There was zero noise-proofing, meaning you would hear everything in the other rooms. Snoring, TV, sex noises, even the crinkle of wrappers being opened.
The room door was in poor condition, with a dubious lock (the sort you would find on your bathroom door). Light also leaked through from the hall (see pictures).
The room was ridiculously small.
Shower water fluctuated between boiling hot and cold.
The front desk staff was unfriendly.
The location is ok, but honestly Ximen Night Market was overly crowded and I typically walked to more distant ones instead.
On the plus side, there were no bugs.

The hotel staff, especially Ms. Kai, are very friendly, kind, and nice. She is also knowledgeable about tourist attractions.
Free coffee, ice, and high-speed internet are provided. The room is very clean, neat, and comfortable.
The location is very convenient and nearby the Ximen area, which is very easy to access.
Thank you, Ms. Kai and friend!

I had a great experience here all thanks to Kai. Very welcoming and caring since I reached the hotel. Provided very clear information on hotel facilities and even recommended places to visit. Truly appreciate the extra mile and warm welcoming.
Great location to night market and train station as well.

The room was really small and the only place to put your luggage is on the floor. The room was simply furnished with a tv, small table, stool and a mini fridge. Unfortunately there isn't a safe. Room is clean and the bed was reasonably comfortable. The service of the staffs was alright but not exceptionally helpful. They are very strict on their check in/check out time. I missed out the fact that the check in time was at 5pm. So when I arrived close to 4pm, they told me the room isn't ready and I have to come back after 5pm. Since the check out time is strictly at 11am, I don't think it would have taken 5 hours just to clean a room… anyway they allowed me to store the luggage for a few hours after I checked out which was helpful. Housekeeping is provided only on the 3rd day of the stay although they do change the towels daily. They also have a self service laundry which is reasonably priced. Overall it wasn't a bad stay due to the proximity of the hotel to XMD but I may try somewhere else in the future.

I was greeted politely in the front desk by Han. He was accommodating and he told me all about the house rules and amenities if the hotel.
Don't expect too much since the room is not big, it is just right but still comfortable. I just wish the room has double lock and a cabinet.
As for the location, it is very nice! It is very quiet but near the action, the busy Ximending area. If you arw on a budget this ia a great place for you! Plus they have elevator. The room also has window you just can't open it, I guess it's for safety as well.
Overall, it is relaxing and you'll feel safe. Add their nice staff! 🫶🏼👍

Very near to the lively ximending area but far enough from the noise and the busy around there. Convenient to get the taxi and walk to MRT and bus stop.
They provided water dispenser and ice maker at the kitchen area and also have washing machine and dryer for clothes!
Super recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at HZ Hotel Taipei, and I must say, my experience was exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was top-notch, thanks in large part to Marisa, a staff member who truly went above and beyond. She was incredibly friendly and attentive, readily providing all the information I needed about the hotel and the surrounding attractions.
The hotel is ideally located, with easy access to Ximending, making it perfect for exploring the vibrant area. My room was impeccably clean and comfortable, ensuring a relaxing stay after a day of sightseeing.
One of the standout features was the self-service laundry and the coffee machine available to guests, adding a delightful convenience to my stay.
Overall, I strongly recommend HZ Hotel Taipei for anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere, convenient location, and excellent service. Thank you, Marisa, and the entire team, for making my visit memorable!

HZ Hotel is one of the best value-for-money hotels in Taipei. It’s just a short walk from Ximending but tucked away on a quiet side street, offering a peaceful retreat from the crowds and noise. Although the website stated that check-in ends before 11 PM, the front desk kindly waited for me until 1 AM. The front desk staff here are some of the most passionate and dedicated people I’ve encountered—they genuinely love what they do.
The hotel room was the perfect size for a solo traveler, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The Wi-Fi was very fast and the room has a small work station. One thing to note is that there’s no divider between the shower and the toilet in my room, so the bathroom floor tends to get wet after a shower. However, this wasn’t an issue for me.
This was my second trip to Taipei, and I was looking for less touristy spots to explore. Since the front desk staff are locals, they recommended the Nanjichang Night Market and Wulai Old Street—both were fantastic, with minimal tourists. I really enjoyed chatting with the staff after a long day of exploring.
I ended up extending my stay multiple times because I loved the hotel, but even more so because I had made friends with the front desk team. It was an experience that made my trip even more memorable.

Highly recommended. Conveniently located at the quieter side of Ximending, the hotel had good price but do note that the room is on a smaller side. Coffee is served on 1st floor from 9am-10pm, microwave and laundry machine is provided on the first floor too.

Very Nice hotel for an affordable price! The rooms are compact but have everything you need and are very clean. It is in a very convenient area of Ximending but it’s on the quieter side of the main area so it wasn’t noisy. The only inconvenient part was that the check in is at 5pm which is a bit late but you can store luggage with them.

Very clean hotel. Petite size room for solo but good enough. Firm bed and firm down feather pillow. Friendly staffs. Come with washer and dryer, microwave, ice maker and water dispenser on the 1st floor. Clean towels and drinking water is provided.
