Colorful contemporary interiors -- including color-coded hallways -- greet guests at this otherwise simple mid-range hotel. The location is one of its main draws, situated right in the Ximending District, which is full of shopping, dining, and entertainment options, plus it's a three-minute walk from a subway station. Features include a free daily breakfast buffet (but there's no full restaurant), a tiny fitness room, laundry facilities, and a business center. The 160 guest rooms are small and don't offer much storage, but they're bright and inviting, with flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, and mini-fridges. Note that some rooms don't have windows. It's worth comparing rates with the Just Sleep hotel that's situated in the same building, which is not as stylish, but offers similar amenities and better showers.

The Sherwood Taipei is a sophisticated luxury hotel that caters to business travelers, in part due to its location in Taipei's business district. For tourists, it's not a prime spot, though the hotel is in walking distance to the MRT and restaurants. The property features four stylish on-site restaurants serving everything from Italian to Japanese food, a cozy club-style bar and lounge, a big fitness center, an indoor pool set under an atrium, meeting and event rooms, and an exclusive Executive Club Lounge. Its 343 guest rooms are spacious with neutral decor, plush armchairs, dressing areas, and luxe bathrooms with heated toilet seats, deep-soaking tubs, and separate shower stalls. The Mandarin Oriental Taipei, which opened in 2014, is the area's main luxury competitor -- its fresh, lavish decor is more characterful, but the Mandarin can cost nearly three times the price of The Sherwood.

The Caesar Park Taipei is a popular three-and-a-half-pearl mainstay in the Zhongzheng District, with direct access to Taipei Main station. Its location and small on-site shopping mall makes it a busy place that's especially popular with travelers who value convenience above all else. In addition to dining options in the mall, the hotel has two of its own restaurants, along with a spa and a business center. However, many of the 478 rooms are dated and not up to the quality of the competition, though some have great city views. Travelers looking for lodging with more style and modern amenities should consider the nearby Palais de Chine Hotel, which costs a bit more, but completely outclasses the Caesar Park.

Beitou Hot Spring Resort is a relaxed, three-and-a-half-pearl property located on the northern fringes of Taipei. As the hotel’s name implies, hot springs are the focus of the experience here with its 27 rooms featuring private tubs fed by spring water. There’s also a massive public hot spring area with a sauna, steam room, and whirlpool. The hotel is a trek from the action of downtown Taipei, but that’s part of the appeal for most guests who come here seeking a tranquil escape from the city's bustle. Travelers with the budget for a splurge might also want to consider Grand View Resort Beitou, a neighboring hot spring resort that offers additional amenities, including a fitness center and luxe in-room extras.

The two-pearl Via Hotel Loft offers stylish, affordable accommodations with a handful of nice perks.

All units contain flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, kettles, and free coffee, tea, and bottled water, although some rooms are small and lack windows, and noise can be an issue.

The Regent Taipei is probably the city's most famous luxury hotel, and not just because it was a favorite of Michael Jackson. Its service and facilities have been top-of-the-line for decades, and it houses its very own shopping mall filled with high-end retailers like Chanel. There's a rooftop pool, a fitness center with personal trainers and a full spa, and rooms on the top two floors get 24-hour butler service, along with a free breakfast buffet in a dedicated lounge. All 538 rooms here are large, stylish, and luxurious, with perks like Nespresso machines, down comforters, and marble tubs. Travelers may also want to compare rates and amenities at the luxurious Okura Prestige Taipei, arguably the Regent's biggest competitor.

The 430-room Hotel Midtown Richardson is a decent mid-range property whose top selling point is its location across the road from Ximending shopping area and around the corner from Ximen MRT station. Contemporary rooms are well-equipped -- with free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, and electric kettles -- but walls are thin and many rooms lack windows. The on-site Japanese restaurant serves tasty hot pot dishes at reasonable prices, and the breakfast buffet offers a wide array of Chinese and international options for a fee. There is little else in the way of amenities, aside from coin-operated laundry facilities, but those wanting to stay within easy access of most major attractions may find this to be a decent pick for the price. Still, it's worth considering the better-maintained Westgate Hotel, located right across the street.

The Ambience Hotel raises the bar on mid-range properties, with its sleek white interiors and designer furniture. The 60 stylish rooms have rainfall showers and come with free minibars. Breakfast and afternoon tea are also included in the small restaurant and bar. On the downside, the location is removed from popular attractions, and it's a long walk to public transportation. But there are a number of dining options nearby. By comparison, the Caesar Park Taipei provides a more well-connected location, next to major transportation hubs, but it lacks the Ambience's chic and modern look.

The Palais de Chine Hotel is a luxurious 286-room property next to Taipei's main transportation hub. The refined rooms are covered in wood paneling and all have large bathrooms with soaking tubs. In an odd quirk, the balconies are locked, depriving guests in those rooms of both views and square footage. The moody interiors may not be for everyone, but a glamorous sense of style makes everything from the restaurants to the meeting rooms more intriguing. Note that while there is a fitness room, there's no pool or spa. It's worth comparing rates and amenities with the esteemed Okura Prestige Taipei, which has an outdoor pool.
