Art'otel Taipei Ximending

If you happen to travel in Taiwan and stay in Ximending I can recommend this 3stars hotel. This is for those who like "A bit on a pricy side meets artsy "kind of space vibe. Just learned that Taiwan has this culture of making their relationship to customers feel like really at home and not too luxurious. Imagine that even their staffs are just wearing everyday clothes on shorts and shirts with no branding at all. You would just be surprised that they are part of the hotel team when you ask for help. The style of the hotel is on the "Industrial meets Pop culture ". Details l've noticed are as follows 1. Exterior Signage: • The hotel's exterior features a modest, multi-story building with a weathered appearance. The illuminated hotel sign, "ARTOTEL," is prominently displayed above the entrance, surrounded by lights to draw attention. 2. Lobby Area: • The lobby has an industrial-chic design, with exposed pipes on the ceiling and large, retro-style hanging lights. There is a wooden counter with multiple desktop computers, likely serving as a check-in area or a business center for guests. • The signage directs guests to amenities such as laundry and restrooms, indicating a basic yet functional setup. 3. Reception Desk: • The reception area features a vintage-inspired counter with ornate detailing, adding a touch of character to the space. • Behind the counter, shelves are lined with various items, possibly for guest use or sale, contributing to a somewhat cluttered but cozy atmosphere. Overall, the hotel combines functional amenities with a unique, industrial aesthetic, characteristic of a two-star establishment aimed at ambience conscious travelers seeking a bit of style.

The hotel is located near Ximending. Taking the MTR and Taxi is convenient. The services offered is good. The room is simple and clean. The hotel is located on level 4 of a building which seems to be undergoing renovation or maintenance. So the other floor and the entrance seems to be in an under construction look. The room size is small compared against the other hotels. There are also no cabinet or other furnitures. Only 2 beds and 1 chair. The tv is mounted on the wall but it do comes with Netflix which keeps the kids occupied.

the hotel is so neat very clean interior have shower have laundry nice smart tv have a gym (?) also but didnt get to see it because i thought taipei was gonna rain all day no sport shoes pleasant

I stayed here for the first half of my Taipei trip, the hotel is perfect for solo travellers. The room is a great size with fantastic amenities (Nespresso machine and Dyson hairdryer! Tv with Netflix included). The room may be a little cosy for a couple but I think it would be fine! Hotel lobby had a lot of cute things you could buy like souvenirs; patches and pins. They also offered maps etc. and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, could speak mandarin and English. I arrived before check in, and leaving my luggage was not a problem, they also let me freshen up after my flight and change my clothes in the bathroom (which also had a shower!) Communal kitchen area with a fridge, washing machine and water tap (which could make soda water!). I loved staying here and would definitely stay again!

The entrance and location spots is kinda dark and confusing because the front desk in on the 4th floors. But overall the cleanliness and the room was good.

something that stood out about this hotel was the friendliness of the staff! we were greeted cheerily by Thomas when we first checked in and even so when we left. there were also amenities provided and the room is clean.
