Palais De Chine Hotel

Staff service from the front desk, dinning, cleaning and customer service all great, nice staff, thumbs up My room with a balcony, make it brighter and flesh air in the room. Filled up all the stationary, mini bar, bathroom supplies, coffee and tea bags, clean up my place twice a day, print out my boarding passes and small gift at the check out time. Good breakfast, nice lunch and dinner. The best part is the dessert sections, match the French standard. I am lucky travel to France for the past 15 years, dessert is the part me and wife enjoy a lot (beside shopping $$). So far, dessert is the best I ever had in Taipei. Location is also the reason why I picked this hotel again, next to the main train station and subway stations, you can go anywhere by using public transit systems by bus, subway and trains. The shopping mall service a lot of tourist request, even have an foreign exchange center there, rate is better than the airport plus it work till the end of the shopping mall hour. Across the street will be local Taiwanese food, all the thing famous in Taiwan like 95% food choices are there, price is good deal.

The interior decoration is a little bit dark, also the bathroom layout is hard for elderly person to step in the tall bath tub plus is kind of open concept (may be romantic for someone), not my personal comfort zone. As a whole, the whole hotel design is on the dark side. My personal preference is bright, too bad could not do much about it.

The location is superb. The hotel staffs are friendly, good space in the room and most importantly the room is sound proof which is excellent. The restaurants are superb.

Customer service were good. All staffs are polite and helpful.

Pillows were too soft for my personal likings. In general, the lightings in the room were too dark. TV screen resolution were quite bad, remote control not really working.
