EPISODE Daan Taipei

This is my go to place in Taipei! I can hardly find any fault with the hotel other than wishing the location is just next to or above the train station. Even with that the location at Zhongxiao Fuxing is so central, you can go to anywhere with the train or by bus. It’s about 5 mins walk to the hotel from the train station. The lobby is at Level 5 which was lovely and turns into a mini bar lounge at night. There is a snack bar with drinks at the lobby that is open to guests. You can also leave a review for some of the hotel goodies. The room was huge with a toilet and shower. There are two sinks. Like how the toilet and shower are separated. For the shower there is a tub area which is so comfortable after a day of visiting and walking. I like the music player which is so vintage too. TV is huge with a lot of channels. The bed is huge and comfortable. This is really the place to go in Taipei. You can see the view of 101 when walking to the hotel from the metro. There is also many family marts around. The hotel is actually next to a police station.

This is the new brand of Hyatt Hotel group in Taipei. First imoression: similar to Moxy, Citizen M focuses on social and fun with a touch of old fashion-CD Player and old music (nice & used to be popular). Room: good size with a cute wooden box CD player. The room has 2 bottles of 'sustainable glass bottle water', 1 energy powder, capsule coffee, and 2 tea bags. Toiletries were normal standard, and the cute part is eye mask, pillow mist, wooden massage board, ear plugs & and mask. F&B: they have one bar, which was a well-known bar from Taichung. I had a cocktail with a blend of tea. Way too sweet... It's not my ideal.. 5:30-6:30 pm Cocktail time offered free red and white wine, beer, and other soft drinks. I think the brand of white wine and red wine are pretty bad. I only used them for cooking, not drinkable... I honestly think if you gonna offer at least not a common brand of cooking wine that downgrade their chic standard. Breakfast was offered by ground floor restaurant, American style. I didn't choose it due to lack of time. The location is great, about 5 minutes from METRO station. There are only 4 stops from Taipei station. For this price, I think it's higher than other hotels. I would think 2 main reasons: 1st, it's a new one, 2nd good location and brand. But may not be value for money type of Hotel. One funny thing: after comparing with hyatt member price, OTA is cheaper, which is very common. But, I consumed beverages I could not accumulate my spending in my membership points, which I don't see the point.

It was an exceptionally comfortable stay in a fantastic location, with the MRT station conveniently nearby. It’s very easy to reach the shopping district on Zhongxiao East Road, and there are plenty of great restaurants and bars in the area. Definitely worth visiting again.

Good!!!
