Eslite Hotel

I’ve been wanting to stay at this hotel ever since I passed by in 2017, and I finally had the chance during my recent trip to Taiwan. The staff were helpful and attentive, making the stay very pleasant. The ambience is lovely, especially with the cultural park and pond right next to the hotel, it feels calm and relaxing, though there are occasionally events held nearby. There are also restaurants and a convenience store within walking distance, which is very convenient. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable, allowing for a good night’s rest. The only downside is that the hotel is a bit far from the metro station, and there is nearby construction, which can make it quite noisy in the morning. Overall, it was a great stay.

It was our first time in Taipei and we had an excellent stay at Eslite. The rooms are new, clean and very spacious. The free mini bar and complimentary fruits are very well appreciated too. The hotel has a nearby mall, park and plenty of restaurants to choose from. We’ll stay again at Eslite on our next visit to Taipei.

We had a wonderful 6-night stay at the Eslite Hotel Taipei and gladly give it 5 stars. The hotel combines style, comfort, and quiet elegance – a true oasis in the city. Our room was spacious, beautifully designed, and spotless. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered stunning views over Taipei, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Housekeeping kept everything fresh throughout our stay. Having our own car, we appreciated the secure underground parking – a real advantage in Taipei. The location is excellent, with quick access to main roads for day trips and plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The staff was friendly, professional, and always ready to help. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and we felt genuinely welcomed. Breakfast was a highlight with a wide selection of fresh Western and Asian dishes in a calm, elegant setting. Eslite Hotel was the perfect base for exploring Taipei and beyond. Everything felt well thought-out, and the service was consistently excellent. We left refreshed and eager to return. Highly recommended!

The rooms, location and staff are all very good. The major area of improvement centers around their breakfast and dining options. We stayed a week and the breakfast options did not change. As a vegetarian the options were very limited and the one vegetable option cooked cabbage was it for the week. Cooked cabbage for a week! In addition when we wanted to check out the other dining options we were told it was closed on a Monday and the other night it was closed for a private party but only one table was set up in an otherwise empty room. A hotel of this quality needs to provide other dining options as they advertise and a breakfast that people should look forward to what the changes in offerings might be.

This is our 2nd time staying at Eslite. ||We were impressed by the service level on our 1st trip and this trip didn’t disappoint as well. We were given a bigger room with city view (Taipei 101) and welcome drinks on arrival. Hotel is located just next to Taipei Dome, less than 10 minutes walk to MRT station. Plenty of food options around. For those who are ok to explore by walking, you can easily get to major shopping malls near City Hall and even to Taipei 101.||We opted to go without breakfast on our 2nd trip as we wanted to go cafe hopping on this trip. For those who doesn’t mind light breakfast, you can easily get sandwiches and beverages from the minimart in front of the hotel. There’s a cafe serving decent coffee less than 10 minutes walk (from the park) from the hotel.||This will definitely be our go-to hotel for our stay in Taipei.

It's taken me far too long to write this review. I stayed 15-19 Oct, 2025 for a wedding (also held at the hotel) and this hotel is absolutely amazing. The staff are incredibly nice and helpful. The hotel, room, gym, breakfast, bar, and lounge areas are absolutely beautiful. My room was upgraded, at no cost to me, which is still unbelievable to me. The room was a divod suite, all the technology was so nice. The light switches that controlled both rooms with just a flip. The complimentary water was also such a life saver. I could go on and in about how much I loved this hotel. It was an expierience I'm so very glad I saved up and splurged on this place. Was worth every penny.

This is not a paid review! Its my first time here in Taiwan for pride and I gotta say this hotel is THE BEST hotel Ive stayed in my entire 30 years of life! I got the Deluxe Twin Room and it was spacious, especially on the toilet side. So clean, comes with a shower and a bathtub (plus point for the dyson hairdryer!) Pillow was comfy to sleep on, not like your other usual hotels with some thin type pillows. Staffs were super nice and service was really 10/10. Highly recommended for anyone looking to stay in Taipei! Right outside is also a family mart and close to songshan cultural park which is worth checking out. Nearest MRT would be Sun Yat Sen station.

Stayed at Eslite for a week in Jan 2026. Great location, 5mins walk to a few really good restaurants. Room is spacious and tidy, maintained by a team of very supportive staff. This beats Metropolitan/ Madison. Highly recommended.

I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Eslite Hotel and it was a great choice to stay at while staying in Taipei. The Eslite Hotel is a boutique hotel in the Xinyi District. It has its unique style to it which gives the hotel its charm. I was not able to ask what the bunny (rabbit) motif the hotel embraced, but whatever the reason, it worked for me. By the time my friend and I ventured to Taipei, we had already stayed at three other hotels in two other countries and were feeling the financial pinch. I happened to learn of the Eslite Hotel trough a blogger and made my decision to book our stay in Taipei there based on their recommendation. Check-in at the hotel was easy and fast. The staff escorted us to our room and shared with us what came with the room. Low and behold upon entering the room, I almost giggled like a school girl with excitement. The room had a HUGE bathroom area with a separate shower and a HUGE tub. I am not sure if I missed reading about the tub whether if it came with the room when I booked it, but damn, I was surprised. This was definitely a good omen. The room comes with a balcony. The room we had was a city facing room. I like city views from my room, but the hotel is close to the street and a train track.. Therefore, noise from both can enter your room. However, the room comes with blackouts drops and curtains which are controlled by your bedside so you can turn your room into "forever night"and drown out the sounds from outside. The hotel has a fitness center. The fitness center is small and best used for cardio purposes. The fitness center has lockers to hold your items as well as a separate shower/toilet with towels for your convenience. The staff at the Eslite is impeccable. They were prompt in providing service to our room and were always friendly. The concierge and the front desk attendants were helpful in providing directions to locations and overall information about the city. A special thank you to Alex, one of the managers at the hotel whom we engaged in conversation during our stay. The hotel is not close to a MRT line, but, taxis and Ubers are very inexpensive that you should just use those instead. Thank you Eslite Hotel for making my stay in Taipei memorable.

Didn't stay at this hotel but I visited the Eslite Hotel Lobby Cafe which is truly impressive. Enjoyed my short and very relaxing visit to the Lobby Cafe. The Lobby Cafe is really spacious and luxe. It resembles Eslite Bookstore (well, not surprisingly yah, since Eslite Hotel is owned by the famous Eslite Bookstore Chain). The book shelves are placed wall to wall, with tables where you can sit down to leaf through the enticing pages of the many art books, or to do your work on your laptop. There are also sofas where you can kick back and relax with a cuppa and their many exquisite desserts. With desserts such as "Little Snow", how can you resist right? I had a good time resting my feet here after shopping and eating at the Eslite Mall next door. Eslite Mall is also highly recommended as it features lots of home-grown hip Taiwanese brands selling a wide array of merchandise such as Taiwanese tea and clothing line. The hotel has a very cool and contemporary design. It is relatively near to Taipei 101 - if you walk a little further (5min) away from the hotel to the nearby streets, you can see 101 from a distance. I think if you do walk to 101 from Eslite Hotel, it would take you probably just 20-25 minutes. The hotel is fairly new (the very courteous concierges told me they have been around for about 4 years). I would definitely visit again when I visit Taipei next time. #nov2018 #taipei #eslitehotel

If you're traveling to Taipei, I highly recommend staying at Eslite Hotel. We've stayed at many of the high end hotels around Xinyi District, I think by far, this is my favorite. The rooms are large, clean and comfy. Huge 2 sink bath with separate tub and shower. Perfect shower pressure. The bed is extremely comfy, there's even a sofa so if you're traveling with a young child, he/she can easier sleep there. Great view of the park with pond from large balcony. My kids really appreciated the stationary box with eraser, pencils, mini staple, scissor and papers. It's all very Eslite bookstore style. Every time we return back to the hotel, we feel like we're coming home to our roomy/stylish apartment. Room is clean clean clean!!! Hotel even prepared different size slippers (for adults and kids) and children's toiletry. Breakfast is also great! Not sure why people are complaining there's not enough variety because there's plenty! From Asian to western choices and an awesome selection for kids. Service here is top notch! They even offer several free welcome drink coupons and 2x weekly complimentary wine /appetizer hour that included beer, wine and hard liquor. Best thing about my 3 nights here is the noise...there's none!!!!! Cannot hear anyone opening/closing doors, toilets flushing, people talking (very sound proofed) Hotel is walking distance to the metro 7-8 min walk or 10-15 min walk to Breeze mall and next door to eslite spectrum. Absolutely love this hotel!!! Already recommended to all my friends in the US and Asia. Good job to the staff and management at Eslite

This hotel is owned by the famous 24 hours bookstore and retail chain "elites" and therefore the hotel is designed based on the inspiration of book and traveling. Located at the heart of the Taipei city, it is really convenient to go everywhere from this hotel. Hotel is built right next to the department store so shopping and eating is within range. The building itself is designed by famous Japanese architect Toyo Ito, so you can see a lot of his architectural language and detail that has been applied on this work. Right next to the hotel is a former factory converted gallery and exhibition space. From time to time, show would be going on here. The room itself has a really nice view toward the skyline of downtown Taipei city. Once you step into the hotel lobby, plenty of books revealed itself on a huge shelve for costumer to enjoy. Hotel is designed nicely and really detail oriented, on the second floor there is also a bar with really nice view! It is a really good choice for stay.

This is my go-to hotel when I go to Taipei. I wish life can be one giant eslite hotel experience. The service here is impeccable. The decor tasteful, elegant, and Zen. The attention to details is amazing. I genuinely love this hotel. I'd marry it if I could! I would have given it five stars but there are two things that can be improved upon. First, the breakfast could be better. There's a lot of choices but I feel like the quality of food could be better especially given the high standards of the rest of the hotel. Second, this time round the bed we slept on felt different from our last trip. We were in a studio room, king size bed. The bed was comfortable but wobbled and shook like a mini earthquake every time either one of us moved on the bed. We didn't have this problem on our last trip so maybe it's just this specific bed. Not sure if they changed the bed but management should look into it. Choose a room facing Taipei 101 for a quiet room.

Here for a conference and I think they upgraded all speakers to suites, which has biased me to give them a high review. Great location next to abandoned cigarette factory turned warehouse art/conference district. Breakfast pretty good as well
