Ginza Hotel

“Great small hotel, excellent staff, well located”

Quite rare to be fully happy with a hotel on holidays but I am with Ginza because of the following reasons: 1. Possibly the best staff I have experienced in all the hotels I have stayed at.

Quite rare to be fully happy with a hotel on holidays but I am with Ginza because of the following reasons: 1. Possibly the best staff I have experienced in all the hotels I have stayed at. It's a small hotel but the service is better than a 5 star. They are genuinely thoughtful, kind, efficient and very helpful. They pass on messages to each other so no need to repeat the same question to different staff. It's amazing! They know English, Japanese, French and Mandarin between them. Just hope they get given a dishwasher as the girls have to wash all the breakfast dishes, glasses, cutleries themselves while maintaining the front desk. 2. The hotel is well located in Zhongshan and not far from Ambassador Hotel where the airport bus drops you off. Lots of cool shops, cafes and also cheap local restaurants in this area. 3. The hotel is in a scruffy old building but the room is very nice. It's fully renovated, clean and nicely serviced everyday. It's not small but actually large in comparison for Japan and HK in terms of room sizes. Downside would be there's a couple of karaoke or bars in the same building so if you are very very sensitive to noise then it's not for you. But we only heard this on Fri and Sat nights. The breakfast is basic and geared more towards the Asian palate. It would be better with the addition with cereals, fruit and yohurt. But you can have more than one cup of coffee so it's okay for me. Thanks Ginza staff and Taipei. Great city and people. Been terrific!

“I have seen better hotels in Taipei”

I have been to Taipei more than 10 times and each time I stay at different hotels, including their sister hotel, Tokyo International. In comparison to Tokyo International, the staff were as friendly and also very helpful, but the room was a lot smaller and the bathroom was easier to use at Tokyo International. Also, the quality of breakfast was a lot better at Tokyo International. The room rate was more expensive at the Ginza Hotel. I have stayed at better hotels in Taipei at similar room rate and the room was better there. I loved the hospitality and smiles of the people, however, if I pay the same amount of money, I would go for better rooms. The best I liked about this hotel was there was a smoking area near the reception. There may not be the second time for me, unfortunately.
