2-Star Hotels in Taiwan, China

The cleanliness was acceptable and consistent with the hotel’s facility rating. The location was excellent and suited our needs perfectly, as it is located right next to Taipei Main Station and can be reached in less than a 10-minute walk via the underground passage. Breakfast is served on the 6th floor, but there is no lift access, which may be inconvenient for elderly guests or those with mobility issues. However, it should not be a problem for younger guests. Overall, the hotel met our expectations and offered good value for its convenient location.

The editor's online conversation was very enthusiastic and sincere, but the male employee who received us on site had a blank expression 🫥 and no emotional introduction. I thought I was still in Taipei, but we asked enthusiastically and excitedly. Other than that, the overall environment was generally good. If you are afraid of noise, please be careful. The train is right next to you and will still come in and stop very late, and the sound will be amplified.

I traveled alone, and the front desk staff were incredibly enthusiastic in guiding me through the check-in process. The room had an en-suite bathroom, and there were also communal bathrooms available. Sometimes, when water usage was high, the en-suite bathroom would run out of hot water, so it's a good idea to shower a bit earlier. During my stay, I accidentally locked my room card inside the locker, making it inaccessible. I quickly contacted the staff, who were very friendly and helped me open the locker so I could retrieve my room card. They didn't even charge me for the assistance. Overall, I think it's excellent value for money. For this price in Taipei, it's a really great hostel.

Room is comfortable even though building is old. There was one small window in the room but it looks out to inside the building. But that was ok since I was there for a concert was mostly out of the room. Did find some hair that was not mine one day after their supposedly cleaned the room. Staff was friendly and helpful though.

A delightful surprise! The decor was thoughtful, and although it's a three-story building, it has an elevator 👍🏻👍🏻 The interior had a subtle fragrance, like being in a high-end Thai massage parlor. Breakfast was provided, and the ambiance was beautiful! The rooms were fully equipped and very welcoming! The cleanliness was five-star 🤩 There was a small pond and an inflatable duck, and in the morning, the chirping of birds provided natural sounds. The owner was also incredibly kind and friendly; she even prepared a delicious and exquisite takeaway breakfast for us when we went out early in the morning. We were very grateful to her 😍 It's a truly wonderful guesthouse!

After coming back from Taiwan, I suddenly realized I hadn’t posted any photos or written a review about the adorable wooden cabin our family stayed in at Jiufen. Everyone in my family loved this place so much that I had to jot everything down now that I finally have some free time. Most people I know usually stay in Taipei longer and just make a day trip to Jiufen without spending the night. As for me—I’ve lived in Hong Kong for quite a while, so compared to Hong Kong, Taipei didn’t leave much of an impression on me in terms of sights or food. The only thing that truly made me want to visit Taiwan was Jiufen — a sparkling little gem between the mountains and the sea 🏮🌿🌊 Jiufen feels like a dreamy fairytale village with its winding narrow alleys, steep stone stairways, and the warm glow of red lanterns everywhere. Walking around felt like stepping into another world, almost like a scene from a manga — especially for anyone who’s watched Spirited Away. ⸻ ⭐🛖 Review of the wooden cabin called Twilight Forest in Jiufen Just a 5-minute walk from the Old town, this wooden cabin brings together the warm glow of wood and the peaceful feeling of retreating into nature. It has a unique A-frame design, and at night, when the lights turn on, the whole place becomes incredibly cozy — the golden light shining through the windows and the plants around it create a “hideaway from the world” kind of vibe. Inside, the space is open, airy, and tastefully decorated in a rustic style. There’s a small terrace with a swing chair hanging straight from the ceiling — sitting there at night, listening to insects and the wind rustling through the leaves, feels genuinely healing 🙃. 🛁🌿 Highlight: The glass-walled bathroom in the garden This is the standout feature of the cabin. The bathtub is large and comfortable, placed right next to a 180° glass wall looking directly into a lush green garden. Natural daylight pours in, making your daytime bath feel like an outdoor spa surrounded by plants. (There’s also a roller blind if you need privacy) Jiufen is a tiny village perched on a mountain, and it doesn’t have many hotels that offer spacious, comfortable accommodations. That’s why I was so happy to find this wooden cabin. Our family had the most wonderful two-night stay here. If I ever return to Taipei, I would definitely book this place again ❤️

Perhaps I had managed my expectations beforehand, knowing that mountain hotels shouldn't be held to super high standards. So, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it actually was upon checking in. The double room was quite spacious, and the location is near the post office, not too far from the train station. It's quite a distance to the transfer station, but the hotel offers a shuttle service, which is incredibly thoughtful! Overall, I highly recommend this place.

I arrived in Taiwan on my first night at around 11:00 PM and checked in to ColorMix Hotel & Hostel. I had booked a single room with a shared bathroom. One thing I really appreciated was the 24-hour reception. Since I arrived late at night, it gave me great peace of mind knowing I didn’t have to worry about how to check in. When I opened the room door, I was pleasantly surprised that the air conditioning was already on, making the room cool and comfortable after coming in from the hot weather outside. The room was simple and cozy, with a small staircase leading up to the bed. The shared bathrooms were clean, and the hotel provided towels and a hairdryer, which was very convenient. I only stayed for one night, and overall I was satisfied with my stay. The only downside was that the mattress was quite thin, so it wasn’t the most comfortable sleep. On the other hand, the blanket was thick and comfortable. Overall, it’s a good option for a short stay, especially if you’re arriving late at night and looking for a clean, convenient place with friendly amenities.

Budget-friendly and very accessible from Taipei Main Station! We had a great stay and loved the convenience of the location. One suggestion would be to replace the black walls with a lighter limewash color to make the room feel more spacious and bright. It would also be nice if the rooms had a bit more cabinet or storage space. 😊 Additionally, we hope the mattresses can be upgraded to something more comfortable for a better sleeping experience. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would gladly come back. Thank you! We loved it! ❤️

I stayed here recently and overall the room was really good—clean, comfortable bed, and I slept very well. The atmosphere at night was quiet, perfect for relaxing. However, I felt a bit frustrated with the staff communication. I asked for the Wi-Fi name, but the staff only told me to use the username and password provided without actually telling me the Wi-Fi name. I had to ask several times and still didn’t get a clear answer, which was quite confusing and a bit annoying. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay, but it would be much better if the communication with guests was clearer.
