Hotels near Raohe Night Market, Taipei

The location is excellent, MRT and night market is just across the street. Room is small and if your neighbour room is noisy could be disturbing. Rooms facing the street can also be disturbed by the motorbikes zooming along the street during late night. No working desk, only TV shelve which can’t even put your laptop.

Great location, about a 5 min walk to the Metro station and around 8 min walk to the TRA station. About a 2 min walk to the raohe night market. Relatively clean but some stains in the bathroom or under the sink. Room is quite dust free due to the air purifier in the room. Basic hotel with not much facilities but they have washing facilities if clothes washing is needed. Service can be improved with a difference of day and night staff. Felt that the night staff were more helpful in general with the day staff being quite standoffish and not really willing to assist, they were not even willing to help call a taxi and asked us to download Uber instead.

It is cheap even if it is high in Taiwan dollar in a private room with a bath toilet, and it is no problem if you just sleep. Cleaning is done properly. The windows are a little dirty so it looks old-fashioned, but the other places were clean. The front desk is kinder and impressed. No problem except no toothbrush, no Wifi, no refrigerator. Hot water comes out in the shower. It is located on the 7th floor of the building, which takes less than 2 minutes from Matsuyama Station. You can go to the night market immediately, so if you really just sleep, there is no problem.

The location is right next to the Raohe Night Market giving easy access to tons of delicious food. It’s also close to the Songshan station. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the staff were very nice and accommodating. We would totally recommend this hotel for your trip!

My friend and me was allowed to check in before the official check-in time since a room was ready. Our room was spacious and clean. TV, Wifi and hot water works well. However, the AC was very cold and seems to be stuck at 17 degrees. I overheard another hotel guest asking the reception about this same issue. From the room window, part of the city skyline with Taipei 101 can be seen. The staff here are polite and helpful with a ready smile. At the small café area beside the lobby, hotel guests can enjoy free coffee and tea till 10pm. It’s location is easily accessible to the Raohe night market and Songshan MRT. Moreover, the hotel is near to a small park, quiet and charming like its namesake.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Amba Taipei Songshan hotel. We had a good time. Upon our arrival we entered with a lot of luggage because from Taipei we would be flying on to the Philippines for a long stay. Thankfully the very nice security guard on the ground floor offered to contact the upstairs front desk and moments later we were helped with our luggage by the very kind Michael Mao. He went beyond the call of duty in giving us personal help with our luggage and allowing us to check in earlier than usual. My wife was surprised by how large the room was and so was I. Very comfortable setup. We didn’t have a view of Taipei 101 but the other side of the building is nice as well. The only problem was that all three days of our stay, the weather was very gloomy with occasional rain. Thanks to Michael for helping with food suggestions, shopping info for my wife and great instructions on how to access the Hop On Hop Off, etc. Unfortunately, we ended up not using the Hop On/Off bus because the schedule is really not great for tourist. Availability of the bus isn’t good. Michael explained that this was mostly due to those Covid years. Perhaps in the future the Hop On/Off will be back to normal as I think most tourist around the world are used to taking advantage of it just to get a quick view of the entire city. I will say that the best form of travel around the city is definitely the subway, which is probably the easiest to use in the world. Its super clean and convenient. Also, as great as the Amba Taipei Songshan hotel is, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention something that others have made mention of and that is the breakfast. Unfortunately, its not a great selection and not very flavorful. I’m one of those people who never adds salt to my food once its cooked. With this breakfast, I was shaking the salt shaker constantly. Also, I think employees/chefs should be encouraged and allowed to be a little more improvisational, if you will. I witnessed several times where someone asked if their eggs could be cooked “sunny side up” but the chef only pointed to the sign with two choices, scrambled or omelette. Sunny side up is not hard to do and probably takes less time to make than an omelette. Also, there’s a sign that says pancakes but in front of this sign is a plate filled with waffles. I assumed that you had to ask for pancakes so when I did, the chef pointed at the waffles. That sign should be changed to waffles only or offer both, which in my opinion would be the better option. Pancakes and Waffles. The area where breakfast is served is very nice and spacious. They should really try harder to make the breakfast just as exceptional. Beyond that, I still very much recommend this hotel as a number one option. Its a great location, the city link is right across the street and the Raohe night market is not far away at all. Really nice relaxed vibe and a very safe area to walk around and explore. 😁. Thank you for a nice stay…

Hotel location is very good, very close to Raohe Street Night Market. The front desk customer service is very warm. If you need help, try your best to help, praise, and recommend staying.

Let’s get to the point first Pros: The location is quite convenient, a few minutes to Songshan Taiwan Railway/MRT, Raohe Street Night Market. There is a family downstairs a little further away there is a 7-Eleven, in the morning there is a breakfast shop and at night there is stewed salt and pepper chicken. The room has a good industrial design. The staff is polite and helpful. Disadvantage: A window does not necessarily mean a view. Poor pressure in toilet flushing toilets (Taiwan B&Bs seem to be a common problem, but Hong Kong and Macau people are really not used to throwing 💩 toilet paper out) I originally booked a small greenery nest, because it has a larger space. There is indeed a lot of space and a small indoor balcony, a lot of space for the toilet... But although the room has a window, it is only a few meters away from the unit opposite, the neighbor is waving to me🙋🏻 ♀️ ... like to interact with neighbors first choice ... otherwise destined to close the curtains will not see the light of day. Although the toilet is big, the sink is small and there is not much space to put anything. Perhaps due to lack of ventilation or pipeline problems, there has been a strange smell. The bathtub is a jacuzzi but there are visible stains on the walls on the side of the bathtub...it's hard to take a bath with peace of mind... The room facilities are generally normal, but the bed is a bit unstable, the slightest movement will squeak ~ And the room has a floor a little higher than the door and toilet, but it is easy to lose foot, several times almost fell🥴 The main want to have a window is want to open the view to see the daylight, so to the counter to inquire. The counter guy🤓 was very helpful in finding, but that night the room was full at night, but helped me record that the next day there was a room available to change rooms. Then the next day my little sister during the day helped us change our little sunshine nest🌞. (Actually, some people may like to look at their neighbors and not like the street ~ everyone takes what they need 🤷🏿♂️ But the photos on the website are really important, no photos for me to refer to book the wrong room type.) Speaking of sunshine, the space is a little smaller than the greenery, a little less stool, a little less socket, ordinary bathtub ordinary shower, a little smaller washbasin. The rooms and toilets have windows that open a bit for ventilation but no screens. Across the street but not very noisy. You can also see the top of 101😂. The toilet is relatively smellless, the flushing pressure is just as bad. The bathtub has a small damage but is more confident to soak in the soup. The bed did not squeak and slept quite well ~

The hotel room is small for 4 person. Luggage space is non existent. Small window that can’t see much. The service from staff is good and helpful.. the location is at songshan which is good to travel with both MRT and train to hualien or yilan. Bus 1062 to jiufen….

设施：excellent new hotel room equipment 卫生：very clean hotel room and public areas 环境：excellent location. You can easily go to anywhere with transportation within minutes such train, taxi and bus. Excellent running or walking facilities 服务：excellent services from front desk to house keeper

The hostel is actually nearby the Raohe Night Market so it’s quite convenient in terms of meals. Once you arrived the hostel, they’ll drop you a card to enter your room and there’s a gate on that certain level so it’s quite secure. However, the personal locker is not quite working in our dorm.

The counter staff are very professional and friendly, and their communication and coordination make people feel like they are solving problems from the customer's perspective. They are completely altruistic, and they have never forgotten the things they promised customers, no matter how small they are, whether they are boys or girls. They are all, actually very good, it is Chinese style, I don’t think there is anything missing, it is very nice. One more thing, the balcony really has a city view, not the house facing the house. If I really have to give a specific score, I think it would be ”a few tyrants”!
