What guests think

Across recent reviews, ILLUME Taipei stands out for its convenient location near MRT lines, Taipei Arena, and a mall, spacious clean rooms, friendly staff, and strong facilities like a full gym, pool, sauna and handy on-site laundry.

Many guests also like the on-site 7-Eleven and water dispensers on each floor, though in-room amenities are minimal due to the hotel's eco policy. Critiques repeat across reviews: unstable shower temperature or water pressure, limited heating or AC control leading to cold rooms in winter, occasional odors, and some dated fittings. Breakfast feedback is mixed—dinner buffets often praised while breakfast can feel average or pricey—and the pool is small with swim caps required. Expect a convenient, comfortable stay with standout facilities and some older-hotel quirks.

Facilities

The extensive facilities draw praise: a full commercial-style gym, pool with sauna/steam, on-site coin laundry, and an attached 7-Eleven and mall for easy supplies. A few note the pool is small or shallow, swim caps are required, and some areas feel a bit dated.

We liked the multiple filtered water dispensers available on every floor along with the awesome gym.The location was conveniently close to a MRT transfer station and having a convenient store in the lobby was great.The breakfast buffet was delicious for a reasonable fee in a very relaxing atmosphere.

Enjoyed our stay here - friendly staff, room with thoughtful light design options, clean, updated deco. Housekeeping staff was great. Family style room suited us. Main complaint is the requirement for swim caps at the pool. Also- pool is shallow, so even on a hot day, it will not be good to cool off in. Water machines close by for hot or cold water, self-service laundry machines in house, and 7-11 attached to hotel. Very convenient.

３泊4日で利用しました。・朝早い便で到着後、１１時くらいにホテルに行きました。チェックインは１４時くらいに可能、荷物はフロントに預けてよい、と言ってくださりとてもとても助かりました！・お部屋も綺麗。他の方の写真なあるような不良はなく気持ちよく過ごすことができました・アメニティは，シャンプー、リンス、ボディーシャンプーのみ。あとドライヤーとコップ。十分です。歯ブラシ、歯磨き粉は持参。・お部屋のクリーニングも毎日してくれました。・コーヒーメーカーと、数種類のコーヒー、インスタント紅茶？が備え付けてありました。・五階にコインランドリーとプールあり。コインランドリーは、洗濯が3台、乾燥が3台。夜中と早朝使用しましたが待つことなしで利用できました。・一階にセブンイレブンがあります。・近隣を一度散策すれば、テイクアウト可能な食べ物やさんが結構あります。裏側から出て徒歩2、3分のところにある点心系のお店は美味しかったー！・朝食ブュッフェもありましたが、朝も外でご飯が食べたかったので利用しませんでした。十分なお店が周辺にはあります。・プールは、帽子必須です。ないと入れません。ホテルで買うと高いです。いいホテルに泊まれて満足しています。スタッフの方々、ありがとうございました😊

The hotel is outdated and tired. It’s in a very good location and the staff are very attentive. However, the facilities definitely need upgrading. For example, many sockets are loose and broken. The hairdryer is still of old fashioned on the wall type. It’s very tricky to style and dry the hair at the same time. The room is full of bad drain blocked smell so I have to buy air fresher to disguise the bad smell. All staff are very helpful and polite. For the price, I don’t expect it to be a 5 star facility. There are plenty of newer and sleeker choices in the market in Taipei.

Newly renovated (few years ago), improved from when it was Sunworld. Older building so larger rooms. Very conveniently located, swimming pool, full sized gym, washing machines, tons of food and other conveniences in the neighborhood and a full shopping mall next door. Only negative is some sound from the hallways, so recommend earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Otherwise will stay here again if I get the same price.

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights, overall the staffs and the front desk were super helpful and friendly. The room was spacious and clean. There were two downside for the room that we stayed: 1) Sound proof was not very good, we could hear someone slammed the door through out the night, not sure were the bathroom door or what. We needed to change to another room for a good night sleep. 2) The bath tub was very tall, you need to climbed into the tub to shower, making it very dangerous.

We would like to suggest they should need some more training and etc.

松山空港からのアクセスが最高に良い。地下鉄は南京復興よりも台北アリーナの方が近いけれど、バス停も近く、交通の便はいうことなし。またホテル自体も大きく、それなりに年数は経っているものの、部屋も清潔だし、清掃スタッフの方も含め、みなさん感じが良くてとても良かった。ランドリーもあり、真夏に洗濯できたのも助かった。プールは思っていたよりも小さくて結局利用はしなかったけれど、ヨガスタジオや更衣室などの設備も十分。何よりもとっても静かで本当に快適なステイができました。日本人観光客も多かった印象です。地元の方々の会議や結婚式などでよく利用されるようで、騒がしい大陸の方々はいなかったような感じ。総じて満足で、また台北を訪れた際には利用したい！

I had a great stay at Illume Taipei. From check-in to check-out the staff was very nice and helpful. The interior is a bit old, but they have maintained it well and keep it clean so it still looks nice. There is a convenience store in the 1st floor that is open 24/7. There is also a commercial gym on the 1st floor that is free for guests to use. There is a pool and some saunas on the 5th floor. The state of these did not look the best, but they are good enough. I did not try the restaurant so I can not comment on this. However, I did notice a lot of people came here during the lunch buffet, so I guess the food is nice. The hotel is close to both the metro station and several bus stops, so it is easy to get around.

It’s a popular hotel for functions such as business meetings, weddings, sport association events… etc. We witnessed probably two weddings, countless business meetings, and most notably the wrestling association with athletes from all over the world. Even with all the events, our rooms stayed very quiet. The large lobby on first floor was nicely air conditioned with cool air. However, once you get into the elevator and any above levels, it was not conditioned until you enter a room. The laundry room and gym areas were air conditioned as well. It was hot in the elevators and walking through the long corridors to our hotel room. The hotel is situated with many breakfast restaurants nearby in walking distance. We didn’t see the appeal to pay more than $600NTD per person for breakfast when I can easily find something to fill ourselves for less than $100NTD per person. Also the 7-11 in the hotel is super convenient for quick drinks and made to eat food on the go. The buffet restaurant in the hotel offers the same selection at lunch and dinner, same prices too. We tried the dinner buffet one night and found it to be very enjoyable. Lots of seafood and variety of international cuisine. Thank goodness the restaurant was air conditioned even though it was open ceiling to above levels. We still felt relatively cool. The hotel staff seems to speak pretty good English. I didn’t have a problem since I can communicate in Mandarin.
