Hotel Midtown Richardson

Location: Hotel Midtown Richardson is excellently situated next to Ximen MRT, just a 2-3 minute walk from exits 4 and 5. This prime location makes it incredibly convenient for exploring Ximending and accessing public transportation. Check-In Experience: Be prepared for a strict check-in policy; the hotel does not allow early check-ins and adheres strictly to a 3 PM start time. Check-in is self-service, which may not suit everyone but is straightforward enough to navigate. Facilities and Ambience: The exterior and lobby of the hotel are quite impressive and give off a modern, upscale vibe. However, manage your expectations as the rooms themselves do not quite match this initial impression. They are compact and functional but lack the same level of polish seen in the common areas. Room Comfort: The rooms are on the smaller side, and soundproofing is minimal, which is typical for many hotels in Taiwan. The bed is soft, which some might find too yielding, but we still managed to sleep well. The bathroom offers strong water pressure, which is a plus. However, the air conditioning was a bit of a challenge, as it remained at a steady 22-23 degrees despite attempts to adjust it to a warmer setting. Breakfast: One of the highlights was the breakfast spread, which exceeded expectations compared to many local hotels. The variety was commendable. However, due to the high number of guests, finding a seat during peak times can be difficult. Overall: Hotel Midtown Richardson is a good option if you prioritize being close to Ximen and need a convenient base for exploring Taipei. While there are some drawbacks, such as the room size and soundproofing, the location and breakfast offerings make it a reasonable choice for short stays.

I booked a family room with two double beds. I sent an email right away to them after receiving a confirmation of booking to clarify, that it can accommodate up to 4 adults. They said “Yes” but when we arrived at hotel last May 14, 2023 around 4 midnight, they were telling me that it can only accommodate up to 2 adults and I have to pay extra for other 2 pax. It was very disappointing, since we assumed and state clearly on the email that we are all fit on the room. We paid additional 12k pesos or 6K NTD. Few points: 1) trip.com should have had the disclaimer to protect consumers with this type of booking consumers 2)The hotel could have not confirmed that 4 person is included on the booking. This is against the consumer rights and we will report to DTI about this type of scam so proper action will be taken accordingly. This is an unfair charging to tourists. I hope to receive a feedback upon this asap. Thank you!

Location is excellent, but no cleaning the area between window and sofa, even has tissues n rubbish there. The room a bit dark and air conditioning cannot be adjusted, too cold should turn off the air conditioning and turn on after awhile need air flow in the room, cause window can’t be opened. Bathroom don’t know when no air exhausted and no control by guest?

Good location, directly access to Taipei Main Station via exit 4 or 5. Hotel is very new and clean. Comfortable stay. Highly recommended

The hotel room is clean and makes full use of their layout. Although we booked a smaller room, it still felt incredibly cosy and I am surprised at how they manage to pack so much in the room, including a bath tub! I am also impressed by the diversity of food in their buffet. It's also located strategically in the middle of Xi Men Ding. Overall, good value for money.

Overall really really good experience on this hotel. First of all the location super duper good just 2mins walk from XiMenDing exit 4. (don’t worry cause exit 4 do have escalators) Everyone are encouraged to perform self check-in and don’t worry cause definitely some front office staff will be there to guide you through the whole check-in process. ii requested high floor during my trip booking and the highest floor ii get for this trip on level 15. Room size not bad. The hotel already install international power socket, so no need to worry about it. Definitely will come back again and recommend to everyone who wanted to visit Taiwan and stay in XiMenDing.

WiFi not working . Not acceptable nowadays Poor on this otherwise still good with breakfasts

It was a great experience! The location is good, near Ximen Station Exit 4,5,6 (Exit 5 is nearest). The Breakfast is okay, finishing time is 09.30 i think it is too soon.

Room is clean and location convenient too. But the twin room is too small. After place the luggage, not place to walk through.
