Howard Properties in Taipei

The Howard Plaza Hotel has an excellent location, very close to Daan Forest Park and Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT Station. The surrounding area has a full range of amenities and is very safe. The staff are attentive and friendly. As an older hotel, the facilities are a bit dated, and the room decor has a classic, slightly old-fashioned feel, but all of this is perfectly acceptable. The only downside was that the room number sign on my floor (I think it was the 6th floor, facing Ren'ai Road) seemed to be incorrect, directing me in the wrong direction from the elevator. I walked all the way to the end of the hall and couldn't find my room, so I had to turn back and eventually found it in the opposite direction. It was a bit frustrating. I hope they can fix that sign.

Booked a single room for my business trip to Taipei this time, and it was excellent value for money. The breakfast had a good variety and consistent quality. The room was clean and tidy, and there was a water dispenser right by room 618, which was super convenient for hot and cold water – the hot water even reached 100 degrees, perfect for instant noodles! The only downsides were the lack of a convenience store nearby and the less-than-ideal transportation; the nearest MRT station, Taipower Building, was a 10-15 minute walk, a bit far.
