Finding Orange Hotel Kaifong
The hotel was easy to find. We rode the MRT from Taoyuan International Airport to the Taipei Main Station, and walked for 5 minutes to the hotel.
The location was very convenient, it was just beside several stores and close to the public transportation terminals. Just look at the convenient store below the building, if we need anything, we can just go in the store.
Checking In
The first floor of the hotel was just Family Mart, and a door which will be opened by tapping your key card. However, we used the door bell because we were just on our way to check in. Then, we saw the cool orange elevator…
The reception area was in the 2nd floor so we pressed 2. We were not lost because the instruction was there. We can’t also press any other floor because the key card of the rooms should be tapped on the elevator first before pressing the number. Without the key card, we can’t press the floor number.
In the reception area we were welcomed by Francis and Derek.
They assisted us immediately. We were given a form and we answered it, we also showed them our passports (One passport per room).
Our key card and breakfast vouchers were given. All of the details that we needed were in the card, like the Wifi password (wooo priorities haha), our room number and some rules and regulations in the hotel.
Before we head to our rooms, Francis and Derek gave us a few tips on how to tour Taipei, what to eat, and where to buy souvenirs in Taipei. Their tips were really helpful! We’ll share it in our Taiwan blog (for uploading 🙂 ).
If we also wished to buy some food products, they will be gladly to order it and deliver it to us without any hassle.
The reception area was open 24 hours everyday to serve the guests needs.
Public Space
Just beside the reception area, the public space can be found.
The space was cool! I first love about the space was this awesome chair!
My friends’ favorite was the office/ dining area ?
The area was complete with:
- Electric outlets and a USB charging socket
- Hot and Cold Water
- Tissue Paper
- A microwave
- Unlimited softdrinks, juices, tea, and coffee
- Unlimited fruits
We can get coffee anytime of the day! The public space was open 24 hours a day.
The fruits available during our visit were Bananas, Apples, and Local Citrus Fruit.
We didn’t become hungry during our stay 🙂
Some books and magazines were also available. You can also notice that there was a Mac computer in the right side of this picture. Guests can also use the computer.
The Rooms
All of our rooms were located in the 5th floor.

The Bed

We love white sheets because it will really show if the sheets were really clean.

A desk was available inside the room, and there were several items on it.
Aside from the study lamp, and tissue paper, fruits were served daily. If you ate your fruit, the staff will replace it everyday. Fruits available were Banana, Apple, and a citrus fruit.
An electric kettle, mugs, and complimentary water bottles were available. The water bottles were replenished everyday.

Other Rooms

My friends stayed in the other Deluxe Guestrooms. Here is what it looks like.
