Location was spot on! Less than 5 mins Walking distance to Guangzhou street night market and huaxi street night market. Lots of dining options during the day as well. 200m away from Longshan station and 1 station away from Ximen station. Only downside was the size of the room but you’ll be fine if you’re traveling solo or as a couple.

Stepping into Monka Hotel Taipei was like diving into a world of tailored luxury! From the warm embrace of the check-in staff to the serene comfort of my room with its breathtaking view, every detail was meticulously crafted to elevate my experience. The attentive staff anticipated my every need, ensuring that my stay was not just comfortable, but truly memorable. Nestled in the heart of Taipei, Monka Hotel boasts a prime location that puts the city's vibrant history and culture right at your fingertips. A leisurely stroll takes you to historical treasures like Bopiliao Historical blocks and the awe-inspiring Longshan Temple, immersing you in centuries of Taiwanese heritage. And when night falls, the bustling Huaxi Night Market beckons, offering a tantalizing array of sights, sounds, and flavors to explore. But perhaps the crowning jewel of Monka's locale is its proximity to culinary greatness. Within mere steps lies Wang’s Broth, a culinary sanctuary adorned with Michelin stars. Here, each sip and savory bite transports you to gastronomic heaven, tantalizing your taste buds with flavors that linger long after you've left. As I bid farewell to Monka Hotel Taipei, I already find myself eagerly anticipating my return. For in this haven of hospitality, every moment is infused with Monka magic, promising an unforgettable experience time and time again.

Nice place, but didn't get the room we had booked
The hotel is right next to longshan temple which is pretty cool, the room was very nice and clean. Modern looking. My only complaint was there was no choice chair for the desk area (but in their defense i didn't ask if they had one for me to use). And, we didn't actually get the room we booked. We had booked the quadruple room with two double beds, but got the basic double room. It isnt the end of the world bc we didnt actually need the two beds but i have to assume the smaller room is a different rate so I'm wondering why we didn't get the room that we paid for?

Great value for single male traveller.
Great value...tiny but we'll equipped and clean. Not advisable for more than one person because of it's size unless you're really really intimate and comfortable with that person. Location is in old Taipei city and not for the faint of heart or solo female travellers.

Good location just one block from Long Shan Shi MRT (train station) and 2 stops from Taipei Main Station. Great food nearby with the night market 2 blocks down and Formosa Chang in the same area. Very clean, painless check in and check out. Affordable and flexible staff (they were very accommodating when I had to shift my dates) An absolute dream.

We ran into some issues during our stay. The bathroom still had other people's leftover trash when we first got the key. We returned once to our door being left open after someone had cleaned it. When they cleaned it, no toilet paper was replaced. Overall a very disappointing time and in the future will stay somewhere else.

Dear sir or madam, We was quite concerned when you told our receptionist about the awfulness you discovered that the door of your room was left open when you first came back that day, and it was no doubt because of the carelessness to our housekeeper as well as the discretion to our management. Further, there is still much to be improved regarding the cleaning in the room as you mentioned in the comment. We greatly appreciate that you pointed out every details you experienced as well as your feelings under that awful circumstances. This issue will no doubt serve as a lesson to us that we still have much to work hard and keep making progress in. Once again, we apologize to whatever bad mood you was experiencing.

Good location hotel
Good location hotel with all basic facilities. Room is small but ok for the price. Floor under bed had uncleaned coffee spill and used bedroom slippers all over, this was quite surprising. Cleaning team should improve. Room was not tidied on the 2nd day, we came back to the room in the same condition we left in the morning although I had put the "to clean" sign on and informed the front desk. Overall, still an ok hotel with good location.

A lovely small hotel
This hotel was really small but very comfortable. The elevator and washroom on G/F were the smallest elevator and washroom I have ever seen in my entire life. Pretty interesting experience though! The air conditioning worked well and the shower head was awesome. The bed was comfy. Lungshan Temple MRT station was 2-3 minutes away. The only bad thing was we got there early but wasn't allowed to check in early. We got checked in at about 15:40 (which was 10 minutes late).

modern hotel in an local old district
Hotel is conveniently located near the LongShanShi subway. It is also walkable to Ximen area. We had a nice window view of the heritage temple right outside. Overall the hotel is new and clean and would like to compliment the hotel staff Mr Chen(陈先生) for his helpfulness and hospitality and he speaks good English therefore communication was not a problem.
