Rainbow Hotel

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.

Smack in the center of EVERYTHING. Room is a lot bigger than expected. 3rd floor has an eating area that has a coffee machine, a cold drink machine and free bottle water. About a 5 minute walk to the Ximen station. We took the bus from airport. The bus stop was a 5 minute walk to the hotel. On the way to airport, we took the MRT to Taipei station and then used the airport MRT. Very convenient either way. No laundry machines, but we used a coin laundromat about an 8 minute walk away.

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.

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

The hotel room is clean and the hotel is right in the centre of Ximending. You can bring your food back to eat at Level 3. It has good sound proofing so you can't hear the performances downstairs. However, there is no ramp (for elderly and luggage), there is only 1 lift and the hotel is a bit dated. To us the pros outweigh the cons so we enjoyed our stay there. Even though the hotel is dated, it's really clean and the location is very convenient.

2-3 star hotel with 1 elevator Low water pressure Physical door key, rather than a card Great location

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.

ห้องแคบมาก ลิฟต์ช้ามาก มีตัวเดียวอีก รอไปเหอะ

It is located in the middle of a very fun and involving night market with plenty of entertainment and places to eat, live music and entertainment. Hotel building is an older one, you will get an actual metal door key for your room! But with that, be prepared NOT TO FLUSH toilet paper: there is even a sign there tells you not to. There is no microwave in hotel or your room, so have local convenience store heat your take out, but there is a refrigerator in the room.

A very convenient, comfortable and caring hotel. The hotel staff, Ms Zhang was most helpful, friendly and courteous. It may be a small simple hotel, which does not offer many frills and any more breakfast due to the pandemic, but the 24 hours hot and cold drink machines, snacks, and dining area made accessible to all hotel guests are more than sufficient to make up for it. Thank you Rainbow Hotel for making our stay a pleasant one.

空間安靜寬敞，很乾淨舒服，價格非常的實惠，員工親切有禮。

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.

房間整潔 環境舒適

位置十分方便，房間比想像中乾淨，服務人員態度好好，雖然只有一部電梯，但等候時間沒有很久。

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.

Towel was torn. Property slightly old but ok

타월 넉넉함, 침구류 청결함

대체로 깨끗하고 룸청소를 잘 해주셔서 좋았습니다~

西門の繁華街ど真ん中にあるホテル。 西門駅からも徒歩圏内。周囲には飲食店、屋台、コンビニ、ドンキホーテなど不便な点はありません。 ホテル前で大道芸が毎日夜23時でも行われていました。自分の部屋は通りに面してなかったので問題ありませんでした。 建物自体は少し古い感じはしましたが部屋内は新しくされた感じでした。3人掛けソファー、高さのある椅子1つ、カウンターテーブル、ケトル、ドライヤー、タオル大小、バスマット、水人数分、四角い冷蔵庫、飲み物用コップ、うがい用コップ、洗面所に鏡(ライトが後ろにありマイクなどはしずらい)、ベッド横にコンセント3口、USBの差し込み口1つ、ハンガー4つ、スリッパ(使い捨てでペラペラ)、大きな全身鏡など必要なものは大体揃っていてキャリーケースもしっかり広げられるくらい広さも十分でした。 水回り等も綺麗な方だと思います。シャワーのみの部屋でしたがシャワー内に物を置いたりする棚などはなくシャンプーとボディーソープは備え付けられてました。水のでも悪くなくお湯もしっかりでました。たまにゴボゴボと止まったり出たりしましたがすぐに戻りシャワーを浴びるのには問題ありません。 部屋自体は一見綺麗ですが、床に髪の毛、埃の塊、ゴミ等床は汚かったです。２泊しましたが、掃除はシーツ、枕カバー、掛け布団カバー等は変えられておらず整えただけ。シーツ下のマットは整えておらずシーツ、枕カバー、掛け布団カバーも整えただけで同じところに同じシミ。髪の毛等もついたまま。掃除してもらうとバスマットがありませんでした。 床には朝また同じゴミがそのまま、前の人の忘れもののシュシュがソファーの下に残ったまま。埃もそのまま。水のペットボトルの補充とタオルだけ交換をして整えて終わりといった感じでしょうか?w いろいろ書いていますが、寝るだけのホテルなので水回りが綺麗でお湯が出てシャワーの出がよく、虫などいなければよしなので問題ありませんでした。 フロントの方はチェックインもチェックアウトも違う人でしたが愛想よく気になるところはありませんでした。

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 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.

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.

Pros: - Like everyone says, it’s an EXCELLENT location. Smack dab in the middle of Ximending, and a short walk to the MRT station. Perfect for first time travelers like me, who could get a lot of shopping done in Ximending while being able to travel all around Taipei - Hotel offers pickup and drop off service at airport for around $30 USD each way. You could take the TPE metro, but it wouldn’t be a direct stop. The shuttle was affordable and convenient, and the ride was only about 40 minutes. I couldn’t imagine lugging all my baggage down those steps at the station! - Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Thank you to the girl that was smaller than me but helped carry my biggest suitcase out to the shuttle van!! - 3rd floor is a guest “lounge” of sorts, with tables and free snacks and drink machines (including coffee and milk te!). Nice place to chill if you ordered delivery/takeout and want a full table to eat at. Cons: - The location is fantastic, but be warned you’re going to hear A LOT of street noise because of it. Street performers, billboards, and pedestrians. If you plan on only sleeping here, it shouldn’t be a big deal, but don’t expect to sleep in. - No hand soap in bathroom :(. Had to use shower gel. - Not exactly sound proof, could hear talking, coughing and sneezing next door at all hours of the day. Get ear plugs!

冷氣漏水，員工立即更換房間。算是不錯。

Location is definitely outdated compared to other hotels. No bidet and needs a key instead of a card to open the door. Furniture feels like it’s 2005 but decent amount of space.

Overall is good just that noise from neighbour room can be heard in my room.

Staffs were super friendly. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

We stayed 4n/5d and I can’t complain. We arrived around 930am and allowed us to go to our room early for a small fee. Staff in the reception are nice. This hotel has all the basic you will need. It has free coffee (different flavors), hot chocolate, teas, water and juices and chips 24 hrs a day. Housekeeping everyday. We were on the 9th floor (901) and it was quiet. Hot and cold water has no issues. The location is superb. Has street performers right in front of the hotel, it was our entertainment every night, reminds me of New York City (my home). Street foods and lots of restaurants and shops. It’s called Ximending Night Market. It’s also close to public transport - MRT, buses and taxis. I highly recommend this hotel if you’re not too picky. It’s safe and affordable.

The hotel staff was really nice, they always greeted me upon entry and exit as long as they weren’t assisting other guests. Laundry service was quick and everything was laundered well. Location was central to everything in Ximendeng. The room itself was a bit small, but that was expected for a solo traveler. I enjoyed the free refreshments that they offered on the third floor, I’d always stop by for a cup of coffee and a milk tea box on my way out in the morning. I’d recommend this hotel for those looking to stay in this neighborhood and would happily book again if I were ever to visit again

Great and friendly staff. Great location.

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 room was clean and cozy. The location was perfect as it was close to everything like the night markets, restaurants, shops and public transport. Would definitely stay here again!

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.

this is right in the middle of action in ximending-the hip place in taiwan. the rooms are dated, but the location is super. in the 3rd floor they have a dining area where coffee, tea, juices in cartons are free, unlimited bottled water also. the staff speaks good english and attends to your concern. 15 minutes walk from taipei main station, or 5 minutes by taxi-cost around 150 nwt.

Great location

Favourite Hotel whenever we visit Taipei. It is conveniently located with very friendly counter staff. They have big and small rooms with different configurations. Just walk out of the hotel and you have shops and eateries everywhere. The area is bustling will activities even if you are back late.

就在西門町中心位，非常方便，只是沒自助洗衣烘衣，不然就非常好了

部屋をきれいに掃除してもらって快適でした。西門駅も近く桃園空港からのアクセスも楽です。ホテルの近くに観光スポットやコンビニ、飲食店など多くとても便利です。

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.
