This sleek and modern mid-range hotel offers stylish, contemporary interiors near the airport in an area well serviced by public transportation. Guest rooms, though a bit small, feature tasteful minimalist decor, plush beds, and a variety of conveniences like flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, electric kettles, and free Wi-Fi. There's not much in terms of on-site features, as the hotel lacks a restaurant, bar, and fitness facilities, but there is a bright and spacious common room that's decked out with plenty of seating, a large flat-screen TV, computers, and a kitchenette with free hot beverage machines, a microwave, and a mini-oven. Free self-service laundry facilities are another perk. As an alternative, the Ambience Hotel offers a free daily breakfast buffet as well as afternoon tea, but it's far from public transportation.

Taipei M Hotel Main Station is a large, comfortable, if somewhat generic, upper-middle-range choice with practical amenities. The 283-room property features reasonably sized doubles, triples, and family rooms for up to four guests. Amenities are good -- mini-fridges, electric kettles, big flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi -- but some entry-level rooms lack windows. Extra property features are mostly bundled into one large room, where, oddly, a gym shares space with the breakfast area. Breakfast is free with a decent selection of Eastern standards, plus coffee, tea, and juice are free all day. The hotel also has a small business center, self-service laundry, and an outdoor terrace with sitting space. The bustling Zhongzheng area is well-connected to public transit, and abounds with similar properties. For a little more style, consider the Roaders Hotel.

The W Taipei is a five-pearl high-rise hotel in an upscale part of town, with a rooftop pool that stays open all night. Its 405 glossy-white rooms come with booze-filled minibars and white noise machines, making it a good choice for both the party set and the business crowd. There are a full spa, a fitness center, and a pair of restaurants, along with a cocktail lounge that turns into a nightclub. The nearby Grand Hyatt Taipei is closer to the exhibition centers around the Taipei 101 skyscraper, and the more conservative Okura Prestige Taipei across town has better dining at considerably cheaper rates.

The budget CityInn Hotel is one of a chain of six affordable properties in Taipei. It’s conveniently located for downtown sights and transportation, and there’s a fun, youthful vibe to match the modern, playful lobby decor. Sixty-six simple rooms come with bonus amenities like minibars and free Wi-Fi -- but the cheapest options are tiny and lack windows. Not everyone will like some bathrooms’ glass doors, and couples’ day rentals may put some off (though the place isn’t sleazy). No meals are served, but there’s a 24-hour pantry, Apple Macs to use, and free laundry room. For more features, the similarly priced boutique Dandy Hotel - Tianmu Branch has stylish rooms, free breakfast, and a cafe -- but the location isn't central.

Its business district location near Taipei Songshan Airport puts Mandarin Oriental, Taipei a bit outside of the city’s major shopping, sightseeing, and nightlife, but sumptuous interiors, an excellent array of facilities, huge and lavish rooms, and superb service make this five-pearl hotel one of the city's finest. A 20-meter, year-round outdoor pool, full-service luxury spa, and several well-reviewed dining and drinking venues (including innovative Italian and Chinese restaurants and a Champagne bar) are on-site. The 303 huge guest rooms all come with plush beds, 46-inch flat-screen TVs, stereos with iPod docks, and marble bathrooms with separate showers and soaking tubs, but a fee is assessed for Wi-Fi for most bookings. The Regent Taipei is a bit less luxurious than the Mandarin, but it's in a better location for sightseeing and shopping -- and rates are much lower.

The long-standing Landis Taipei is an upper-middle-range property that's close to the subway in the prestigious Zhongzheng District. It has a grand Art Deco appearance, but feels past its prime. The 209 rooms are tastefully bland, and there are housekeeping and maintenance issues, though suites have lovely bathrooms. The breakfast buffet (costs extra) is merely decent. Features fare far better. There are three excellent restaurants plus 24-hour room service. Highlights include the luxurious Jurlique Spa, large gym, 24-hour business center, free access to Proust Lounge, and free Wi-Fi. The Ximending shopping district’s Westgate Hotel has more stylish rooms and slightly cheaper rates.

The Just Sleep - Xi Men Ding is a two-and-a-half-pearl hotel that has just a touch more than most budget lodgings. There are a nice number of freebies here. A free breakfast buffet in a cafe that stays open during the day for free snacks and drinks, a guest laundry room with free detergent and machine use, and hands-on help shopping for souvenirs. The 150 rooms have pillow menus, mini-fridges, and flat-screen TVs, but are a little plain. Travelers looking for an affordable stay and funkier interiors may want to check out the Dongmen Hotel instead, but note that some of the rooms there lack windows.

The hip 50-room Swiio is a lower-middle-range hotel in the Wanhua District’s lively Ximending neighborhood. Being positioned midway between two MRT stations and within walking distance of shops, nightlife, and tourist attractions, it's a convenient choice for tourists -- particularly younger, budget-conscious ones who appreciate both contemporary style and modern conveniences. The latter include features (like a communal kitchen, self-serve laundry facilities and free hotel-wide Wi-Fi) as well as in-room amenities (most notably mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs and Bluetooth speakers). The rooms themselves have a soothing minimalist look that’s in sharp contrast to the lobby’s artful eccentricities; unfortunately, they are short on space, and not all of them have windows. Travelers looking for another design-oriented alternative in the area can check out the smaller (but similarly priced) two-pearl Via Hotel instead.
