Dandy Hotel Daan Park

Decent stay, with a few highlights I recently stayed at Dandy Hotel Daan Park for a few nights, and overall, I’d call it a pretty average experience — not bad, but not particularly memorable either. The location is definitely a plus. Being right next to Daan Park was nice for morning walks, and the MRT station is just a short stroll away, making it easy to get around the city. The hotel itself is clean and quiet, but the rooms felt a bit dated and smaller than I expected. Everything was functional, just not particularly stylish or luxurious. One unexpected highlight was the little 7-Eleven nearby — super cheap and incredibly convenient. Honestly, it became one of my favorite stops during the trip. I even stumbled across the newest Pokémon card release there, which was a fun and totally unexpected bonus! Staff at the hotel were polite but a bit distant; they got the job done but it didn’t feel especially warm or welcoming. Breakfast was included, but the options were limited and a little repetitive after a couple of mornings. In short: if you’re looking for a clean, affordable base in a good location without expecting too much beyond that, Dandy Hotel Daan Park does the job. Just don’t expect to be wowed — unless you find a rare Pokémon card at the 7-Eleven like I did!

On first impression it is not very impressive. A simple automatic glass door, single elevator, small reception The standard room is small with a bed and a desk but no drawers to hold your clothes, shirts or socks. The bathroom though has a sauna, self warming toilet seat with bidet and rain shower plus body bath soap and shampoo dispensers. But what Dandy lacks in sophistication it more than makes up with excellent service. The staff is friendly and very responsive. They have a 24 hour snack bar with wonderful taiwanese snacks, cold and hot water, coffee maker in the lobby with comfotable sofas, great for a break after a long day of hiking and shopping.| The ref in the room provides bottled water and 2 small sodas and more snacks for free. And the buffet breakfast is simple but exquisite with different entrees daily in addition to the usual bread and salad bars They have two types of juices, fresh milk and soy milk too. The food is made from fresh and healthy ingredients, and if you have to miss this due to an early engagrment, the staff will happily prepare a take away pack of sandwiches and some fruit or tomato and a soy milk. The front desk can provide a lot of free items for use such as desk lamps, strollers, umbrellas, picnic mats, 110 volt adapters and chargers among other things. And they have free laundry machines abd driers 24 hours, including laundry soap.| The MRT daan park entrance is tight close to the hotel but it is a steep flight of stairs. This is exit 1 of daan park station. But you can use exit 2 which is across the street near daan park which has an elevator maybe a 3 minute walk. There is a 711 at the cirner, a Subway resto on the other side , a cat cafe on one end and a rabbit cafe on the other end There is a hotpot beyond 711 and some restaurants along xinsheng blvd a 5 minute walk from the hotel - a Japanese Daan Forest Shokudo, a Szechuan six chef restaurant, a MOS burger, Din Tai Fung Xinsheng branch. And it is a 20 minute walk or short ride to Yong Kang street with artsy souvenir stores and little delicious restaurants, or Dongmen station with many other restaurants. And of course visit Daan Park right across the street with a beautiful pond inhabitted by many species of birds and turtles. Oh yes and a well stocked pharmacy right across which also sells dermatological products.| I am so happy i found this little gem in busy Taipei. It felt like home but with service deluxe@

Great little hotel with lovely staff. There was some construction but we were advised of this when we booked and closer to our arrival - you can’t ask for more than that. Definitely recommend the rooms with views of the park. The rooms are sparkling clean. Staff were friendly and spoke English. Very generous add-ons with complimentary snacks and laundry. Breakfast was fresh and well managed. Thank you Dandy for a great stay.

The hotel offers excellent service; the staff are very friendly and attentive. It has a great location with the subway right around the corner and public YouBike bikes halfway down the street. The self-service laundry is very helpful, and the price is very reasonable. I will definitely return... thank you so much! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

I usually never leave a review (good or bad), but I had to do it for Dandy Hotel. Our stay there was wonderful. Everyone was extremely friendly, the room was very clean, bed was comfortable. They have all day snacks at the reception, washers and dryers are free for use ( 24-7). Etc. etc. we totally recommend Dandy Hotel.

They almost gave us a room with no window, fortunately I have my booking record, even though it was corrected, but the attitude was not apologetic, we requested a quiet room in my reservation, but we were given a room next to elevator and the floor above ours has renovation going on. The hotel has 11 floors not including basement, only one elevator, it is quite small, and is shared with hotel guests, construction workers and hotel employees, so it moves very slowly. The breakfast was just mediocre, not very good. Only location was good. The bathroom is decent size and very clean. Free laundry was nice.

Excellent service, friendly staff. Outstanding breakfast buffet every day with numerous delicious choices. We had a food allergy concern, and they told us every day which items to avoid. Location was super convenient. Amber and Stacey were so helpful and accomodating - truly appreciated their dedication and professionalism. We look forward to returning soon. Thank you!

Incredibly nice and attentive staff! Great service and atmosphere. Perfect location near metro station, peaceful park, and lively streets. High quality breakfast buffet and thorough room cleaning. Will definitely stay here again when we are back in Taipei!

This place had great staff. They were all friendly and welcoming every time we passed by the lobby. Most of them spoke Chinese and English, so I didn't have to worry too much about my broken Chinese. We had to break our trip up into 2 parts because we were spending a day in Taichung, and they held our groceries for us until we got back. The rooms were very nice and clean. The location is excellent. There's a great park across the street that we took our 2 year old daughter to every day. It's right next to the MRT station. If I ever need to find a hotel in this area, I'll definitely return to the Dandy Hotel!

I like this hotel, it's not a fancy Marriott but it clean, comfortable, functional, and extremely convenient. I stayed here for a few months when my dad was sick, and came back to this hotel when I visited. It has many room configuration, some are spacious some are quite tight. It's always clean and comfortable. The staff is 24-hours and always helpful and friendly. I love the free self service laundry for longer stays, since I stayed for a long time, I just request lower floor rooms and just walk downstairs for the laundry. Complimentary breakfast is not fancy but it's pretty good, there is a Chinese breakfast place right across the street and many walkable places if you desire some variety. They serve complimentary UUC coffee in the breakfast buffet and at the lobby, they are pretty good. The location is amazing, right across from the red line MRT exit, and across from one of the nicer parks in town, close and walkable to many amazingly and popular restaurants like the main DTF dumpling place. In general, it's very good price for all the things you get. The prices varies significantly by season, and could be booked up during summer months.

We stayed at Hotel Dandy for four nights and really liked it. The best parts of the hotel are its centralized Da'an Park location and all inclusive facilities such as free breakfast, free on-site laundry/dryer machines, and other various in-room amenities (toothbrushes, combs, slippers, shoe cleaning towels, water etc.) The room we booked was small but was comfortable and had everything we needed. They also have free parking if you need it. The staff is very friendly and helpful, shut out to Alice for making extensive recommendations for our Hualien trip! They also have an airport shuttle service and they'll pack your breakfast to go if your flight is early in the morning, which was very convenient.

This is definitely a family friendly hotel. It's incredibly convenient to the Da-an Forest Park MRT station as well as the family friendly Da-an first park to take a stroll with your baby. With a family of three you can book their family room and yes there are no big windows but for a small business hotel in Taipei you can't do worse. I requested a baby bed to be put in my room and to my surprise they also added a baby bath tub in their for us (totally pleasant surprise). The daily breakfast was not the most glamorous spread but it was delicious and fulfilling . You can always eat breakfast before going out doing tourist things for the day. The staff is also most helpful and I couldn't ask for more.

The Dandy Hotel is conveniently located directly next to MRT; the fresh aroma through the hallways and inside our room owes well to the cleanliness of this tidy hotel. If booking the $4200 NTD option with a window view of the park, be wary as the 6th and below floor room window views are well obstructed by a vertical sign, and the staff are unlikely to be able to find a replacement room due to limited availability. This isn't displayed in the presentation of the rooms when booking.

This was the last place we stayed and it was a wonderful location nestled right across from Daan Park and the MRT station. We booked last minute and got a pretty good price, shockingly good actually given its location, it came out to $99 USD for a full and a twin bed (last room left so we took what we could get). The design is very modern and minimal and that is where my beef with Dandy is. The room is functional but I feel like they went really cheap on the design. The shower is a huge step up and down when you get in and out and I thought I was going to sprain my ankle each time I got out of the shower (I like to consider myself somewhat of a young buck so that was disheartening). It was very IKEA-esque and not in a good way. The American in me yearned for more counter space in the bathroom because I would try to balance my makeup on it and it would crash down onto the floor leaving me concealer-less (i.e. Scary!) for the day. They stock the fridge with drinks like Coke, Sprite and Water so that's a plus and they have a coffee machine downstairs with complimentary coffee drinks. Breakfast is included but it doesn't start until 7am so if you're heading out early you're out of luck. Staff was friendly and it's surprisingly quiet for being right near a busy intersection. All in all, a good value but not favorite place I stayed at in Taipei.

Phone: 2 2707-6899 Check In Time: after 3 pm Check Out Time: before noon (12:00) This ultra modern hotel is conveniently located near Da-an park. When you are inside you will notice how sheen everything looks. The people who have set this hotel up spared no expense to make this place look fancy. In my opinion, their efforts have paid off. The extra mile really does add up. You can get a standard room here for as low as NT$1,900, which is not too bad for a hotel so close to an MRT line. Keep in mind however very few of these rooms have any windows. If you are paying for the standard room, more likely than not that room will be without a window. If that makes a difference to you there are other hotels on Xin-yi road, which have rooms at similar rates with a view.

Excellent location - right by a 7-Eleven and the subway station. Clean and very modern room. Small but functional. The service is exceptional - as is in most of Taipei. Very pleasant stay - will book here again.

Great service, delightful continental breakfast with live entertainers and fresh, exotic produce. Staff were prompt to entertain my toddler son who had difficulty adjusting to the new time zone - we would have left with a multitude of toy vehicles had we not returned them due to limited luggage space. Would recommend this location to anyone looking to stay near the MRT and a local park in Taiwan.
