We have stayed at Taipei's First Hotel for over 25 years. It is very centrally located and convenient. A subway stop is 2 blocks away. The Deluxe rooms are good value for the price. They are spacious, comfortable and clean. The staff is friendly and welcoming. We continue to choose this hotel for our stays in Taipei.

Great stay, room for improvement

Very reputable hotel, great location and amenities. Close to the MRT and transit system. Breakfast has great choices and I especially loved the hot Soy Milk at the breakfast buffet. Room for improvement were the cleanliness conditions as there were issues we encountered with insects. Cleanliness improved over the course of our week. No laundry facilities on site but there are coin laundromats within 7-9mins walking.

Before COVID we stayed at the First Hotel frequently on our trips from North America to visit my wife's family in Taipei. This is our first trip back since COVID and we have selected First Hotel again. It is very centrally located and away from all the tourist areas. There are many bus routes going east and west along Nanjing Dong Lu just steps outside the hotel's front door. There is a major subway junction just down the street. The rooms are spacious and the staff is terrific. There is a modest breakfast offered in the basement restaurant that comes with the room. The value for the money is outstanding.

It is horrible

It is the worst experience during my Taiwan trip. Here are the reasons: 1) The room is small and the furniture is dated 2) The varieties of breakfast buffet is very limited, and there are cockroaches on the dinning table!!!!!! 3) The gym is closed because the room is too hot to use (Located on the top floor) 4) The air-conditioning is broken down, so the inside is actually warmer than outside, and you are not allowed to open the window. 5) The computer in the business center is very slow.. 6) The currency exchange service is no longer available.

Your experience will depend greatly on the specific room that you are given. Better view rooms to customers who pay a little more. My brother and I checked into First Hotel on the same day. He prepaid his reservation on Expedia while I opted to pay at the site upon check in, which cost probably $8 more per day. He was given room 420, I was given room 411. My room appeared to be brighter, bigger and had a nicer view. 420 seemed smaller, darker and had a view of another building. My room had black square insect traps in each corner, but I figured that might be something they do in all rooms. I've lived in Taiwan before in the past and remember cockroaches being a concern. I thought the insect traps were preventative in each room. However, throughout the night, I would notice a cockroach around the bathroom area crawling around the trap. Then a few hours later, there were three cockroaches racing around, and a random ant also. I was pretty grossed out but too tired to switch rooms, especially if all the rooms would be the same. So I slept with the lights on that night, hoping that the insects would be less likely to come out. Next morning, I went downstairs and told the hotel employee. He quickly apologized and said they would switch rooms for me. A few hours later, I was given room 712. It had a nice view and I immediately noticed there were no insect traps in the room at all. Much better experience there than on the 4th floor. Breakfast was decent.

チェックアウトが12：00というのがありがたい。その上、飛行機の時間まで荷物を無料で預かってくれるのは大変助かる。私たちは深夜便で帰国する予定だったが、夜の8：00頃まで快く預かってくれた。 施設は古いが比較的丁寧にメンテナンスがされていた。新しく奇麗な施設を求める人には向かないが、LCCを使った弾丸旅行には十分すぎるくらい。
