CityInn Hotel Taipei Station Branch III

I am very motivated to write this review after my third stay at this exceptional hotel. I think most people would have gotten a good idea from all the reviews here about the size of the rooms and the facilities provided here, so there is no need to flog the horse about it. For its price, the size of the room and the prime location to many of the happening spots in Taipei is already worth it. I mean, having free laundry and dryer service is a god-send, especially at the end of the year when it is usually rainy season. You would have no worry at all of running out of clean and dry clothes during your stay here. One thing I must mention is the impeccable service the staff at Cityinn Branch III has provided consistently. They are always willing to go the extra mile for us. When I was going out when it was raining out, one of the staff quickly alerted me to take an umbrella beside the entrance. I must particularly mention Sam, whom I am particularly appreciative of, as he has been the one showing a lot of attention to us when we were here in 2018 and 2019. Knowing that we have returned after the end of the Covid pandemic, he took effort to take good care of us. He had volunteered to help me with my laundry, and even folded them after they were done in the dryer. He had written a personal note to welcome us. He has even remembered my wife's birthday and gave her a Birthday card! All these small gestures cannot be found in just any hotel. In 2018, I wanted a recommendation for a supper spot nearby the hotel and I asked Sam. Within hesitation, he rattled off his favourite restaurant, what dishes we must try, and called a cab for us so that we would not get lost looking for the place. He handed me the hotel card with his name written on it, so that I can pass it to the cab driver to return back to the hotel. I had kept this card since, and he was surprised that I still had it! I can't wait to return to the wonderful city of Taipei, and to stay here again!

Rooms are small but decent, service was excellent. The front desk guy who worked overnight shift was very kind and helpful, answer all my questions, provided me with recommendations also helped w my laundry as I d have to leave it over night, he folded my clothes and have it set aside so I can pick it up in the morning without having me staying awake and wait for it to dry at 2am in the morning. Thumbs up to that! Location is good, about 5-10mims to train station, night markets. Overall I enjoyed my stay👍
