Taipei Fullerton Hotel Fuxing South

Our stay here was overall okay. It’s a bit pricier compared to other hotels, but the rooms were clean and housekeeping came every day. For those wondering, there’s NO BIDET if that’s something you’re looking for. Location-wise, it’s super convenient since it’s just about a 5-minute walk to the train station, and thankfully, you don’t really hear the train noise. Breakfast was included and had a decent variety, like bread, fried rice, fruits, veggies, and more. The staff were really nice and polite. I also loved that they offered free coffee and snacks like cookies in the lounge.

This hotel is not located in the heart of a famous tourist area but at an intersection of two MRT lines, which is a very favourable choice for the tourists. The room looks modern & offers everything except the disposable tooth brushes & paste. The room height is a tad lower than others. The atrium is a good feature but very stuffy. There are a small gym & sauna located on the 13th level that one needs to walk up via the fire stairs. There are some nice touches of decoration around for mood enhancement. However, it appears there is a short of storage spaces, as things were left in the public corridor after the 3pm check-in time for whole night. In fact, the landing areas in the fire stairs are used for the storage of the cleaning carts. This affects the safety of the exit in case of emergency. There is also no need to use the room card to access to each level.

Hotel is situated approximately 200m away from metro exit 5. Room is small and aircon was told not able to change temperature. Water in the shower is so irregular. Cold water can turn hot suddenly and vice versa. Room cleaning service was 50/50. Maybe depends on who’s at the concierge serving. Cleaning auntie cleared the trash and forgot to put the plastic bag so I called the front counter…the auntie came up, passed the bag and tell us she’s rushing to end work so we put the plastic bag ourselves. Aircon was leaking opposite my room and the hotel decided to do maintenance at the corridor ceiling just outside my room. At freaking 8am with all the vacuum noise going on for 1 hour. Every night the aircon makes intermittent noise that disrupts my sleep. Adding onto that, the aircon makes the room so dry that our throat always hurts in the morning. With the price range, the same breakfast served for my 6 days of stay is disappointing.
