[Taiwan] Caesar Park Hotel in Taipei

Caesar Park Hotel Taipei was our homebase in Taiwan. I chose this hotel because it is located right across the street from the Taipei Main Station, which meant that it would be quite easy for us to get around Taipei. Furthermore, the two tours I booked - to Jiufen, Shifen, and Yehliu Geopark and to Taichung - both had pick-up points at the East 3 Gate of Taipei Main Station in the early morning so staying at a hotel near restaurants our two tours had early morning pick-up points at the Taipei train station. As such, it made sense to stay nearby, making Caesar Park Hotel Taipei a perfect choice.

I stayed in a Superior Twin Room. It had two double beds and three chairs. It really is quite spacious and comfortable.

The bathroom has a decent size. They provide liquid hand soap and the shampoo and body wash are in refillable containers in the shower/bathtub area.

The hotel doesn't have a large footprint, which also means that the lobby is a bit small. One very big downside of the lobby is that there is no available seating. There were a few chairs in the area but guests aren't allowed to sit on them; they seem to be just decorative.

There is an incredible wooden sculpture created by award-winning wood carving master Hsien Kuo Chen at the elevator area which I absolutely love!

There's a small cafe on the ground floor. Checkers, the main restaurant where breakfast is served, is on the second floor. We never got to try these places because we normally had our meals in the cafes and restaurants at the basement walkway from the hotel to the Taipei Main Station. You can get here directly from the elevators. It is this direct access to the MRT station that makes this hotel very convenient and a perfect choice for a stay in Taipei.

While it doesn't have the best or most comfortable lobby, I still highly recommend Caesar Park Hotel Taipei primarily because of its location and the quality and comfort of the room. The Taipei Main Station is right next to it and you can head there through the basement passageway. There's a 7-Eleven along this basement passageway and a mall practically next door to the hotel. There are a lot of restaurants nearby. Right next to the lobby entrance is a souvenir shop that has some nice items (I ended up buying a few items here for me and my nephew). And if you're looking for ATMs that accept Philippine bank cards, there's a Cathay United bank just two blocks away. If I have a chance to revisit Taipei, I will stay at Caesar Park Hotel again.
