Reviews based on Kitchen
Overall, I would stay here again if I were in Taipei. Pro: - Excellent service. The front counter speaks English and can effectively communicate. - The hotel has at least 5 convenient stores in walking distance. - Spacious - Has a safe in the room - Quiet - Has a small balcony, with washer/dryer - Kitchen, comes with microwave and fridge - Has a mobile dehumidifier, this is very handy. We leave it at the shower area and dry our clothes. Con: - No gym - Shower door can't block water completely, leaks pretty bad. - Dryer sucks, but that's expected. Any combo washer/dryer just won't work when it comes to drying. You can hang your clothes at the balcony, just ask for the hangers. - There is no direct line to the front desk from the phone in room...we asked the front desk, and even the font desk doesn't know. We suspect you can communicate through the telecom panel, hidden in the wall right next to the door.
It’s been years since we were back to Taiwan post covid. We stayed at Gloria residence for 4 nights with our one year old. It’s probably one of our favorite hotels because of the staff and its thoughtful & heartfelt service. Among all the 4-5 star hotels in Taipei, it’s definitely a hidden gem and our family will plan to come back. The hotel is centrally located, with walking distance to restaurants, hospitals, and MRT stations. The room has kitchen, living room, and even washer/dryer which makes our travel a lot easier with a kid.
