Jianshi Lavender Forest Hotels

"Its an old hotel but truly maintained. The staff were really helpful and courteous. We will definitely stay here again for oir long lay-over or short visit in Taiwan."

"Breakfast area too crowded. Long queue for just a toast bread.Room is not clean, I have bite from insert from the bed. Waiting times for lift is too long, 10 mins just able to get down. Location is great, just opposite Ximending."

"Bedroom area is large, but bathroom is small. All the furnishing are dated and worn. Windows are not sound proofed so lot of street noise enters the room. A honking truck or loud motorcycle would wake me up. Many other hotels at the same price, have newer facilities, better decor, nicer bathrooms. "

"Interesting though confusing place. Rooms are big and comfy and hotel locations’ good. But it’s very dark in there - lobby, breakfast room, amenities: no windows whatsoever. Rooms do have windows but there is like 15 different switches to turn on and off the lights and that’s still did not allow me to turn off an armoire (?) or a spot in the bathroom window. When you do turn them off, they turn on by themselves a bit later. I guess you want to have the staff explain that to you or just remove the main card to power the whole room off. So it’s an experience, in any case. Not bad but still different 😆"

"We travelled with our 7 month old baby and the staff were amazingly accommodating. The room was nicely prepared for us with a baby bed and bath, along with a sterilizer. The concierge was able to keep our ice packs in a freezer for us and had them ready for pickup the next morning. The rooms are spacious and the amenities were great. They had one of the best hotel gyms we’ve experienced. The hotel shuttle was also timely and efficient. Ultimately, the staff were friendly and accommodating. Everything was very clean. We highly recommend this hotel!"

"God size and clean, comfortable"

"Overall ok, not too clean"

"The hotel is newer building, but compared to others nearby, this hotel is pretty expensive, but it's convenient to the subway. Since I booked mine through Expedia (third party), they gave me a room pretty closed to the laundry room and the view of a construction site (we can't see city view). I heard the receptist commented on that we booked ours through Expedia. I think that was why they gave us such room. The hotel is not bad, but I would book thru them directly, instead of going through Expedia. And most guests included breakfast. We paid quite a bit for our room but no breakfast included."

"Very good"
