Scene
Design-savvy leisure travelers seeking a stay that won't break the bank
Taipei Morning Hotel is housed on the fourth and fifth floors of an 11-story building. The reception area is appealing, with a cluster of vintage-inspired pendants, glossy, chrome tiling fronting the elevator bank, and a desktop computer tucked in a cozy corner nook. There are also magazines and tourist brochures for the taking. There isn't much seating, however, so it isn't typically a place where guests gather. The hotel draws couples and friends traveling in groups looking for accommodations that are affordable, but don't want to sacrifice style.
Location
Near restaurants, shopping, and public transit, but not within walking distance of top sights
Taipei Morning Hotel is in the Linsen area of the Zhongshan District, next to the southeast corner of Linsen Park and just east of Xinsheng Elevated Road. Several restaurants and decent shopping are close by, but most top sights are too far to walk.However, there are good public transportation options. There's a bus stop across the street, Songjiang Nanjing MRT station is a five-minute walk east, and Zhonghsan MRT station is a 10-minute walk in the other direction. Taipei Main Station is one stop on the MRT from Zhongshan Station. Both the Museum of Contemporary Art and Miniatures Museum of Taiwan are about a 15-minute walk away. A monument to Taiwan's first leader, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, is 20 minutes by MRT, and Ningxia Night Market is a 23-minute ride using public transit. The 101-story Taipei 101 tower, which offers sweeping skyline views of the city, is a 25-minute MRT ride. Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport is a 40-minute drive from the hotel. Many guests take the FreeGo bus from the airport to nearby Jilin Elementary School, and from there it's a three-minute walk to the hotel.
