During our stay in Taipei, Taiwan, we also wanted to stay in Ximending area. So we found Orange Hotel Ximen. The hotel with the best location in Taipei!
Orange Hotel Ximen was our second home in Taipei.

Finding the Hotel and Checking in
The hotel was VERY EASY to find! It was just right in front of the bus stop, and U Bike parking. It was also 30 seconds away from the Ximending MRT Station entrance!
Orange Hotel Ximen was also soooooo close to the shopping district! To be exact, it just took me 47 seconds to reach this area from the lobby of the hotel.
Checking In
When we got off the bus, I instantly saw the hotel and we checked in immediately.
The staff were friendly and assisted us, they also informed us about the rules and regulations in the hotel.
By the way, the hotel wants to be eco friendly even in a small way, so they do not place toiletries in the room. You have to ask the staff if you need any toiletries such as toothbrush, toothpaste, cotton buds, etc.
Our favorite Orange guy was also here!
Guests can use the Photocopier Machine, and get some water from the lobby.
After we got our key cards, we went straight into our rooms.
The elevator decor was cute!
Oh yes I’m glad!
The Rooms
We checked in late at night already so we were really eager to go to our rooms.
Oh yes he looks tired in this picture hihihi ?✌
Orange Guestroom
Busy and I got the Orange Guestroom. The room was cool! We were at the 10th floor so we have a good view of the Ximending area.
The room was compact and everything has its function.
Our bags can be kept under the bed. YES! The bed was a bit high that’s why my suitcase fit in. There was also a safe under the table.
The king size bed was cozy!
A table, chair, hangers, tea, coffee, electric kettle, tissue paper, memo pad, ball pen, mineral water and refrigerator were available.
The flat screen television was mounted on the wall in front of the bed.
Comfort Room
Two face towels,two bath towels, an umbrella, and extra tissue rolls were available,
A bottle of shower gel and shampoo were also available in the room.
Standard Guestroom
Our friends got the standard guestroom… Please correct me if I’m wrong… but my best friend was glad with the room ?
The standard guest rooms were just beside our room.
They also have the same features but there is a little bit change in the decor and arrangement of things.
Orange Dormitory
If you are travelling with a friend but you do not want to share your bed with him, you have an option to choose this room.
It has a double deck bed, and there were 2 televisions!!! 1 television per bed!
Other features of the room like the table, chair, television, and comfort room were the same as our room.
Orange Bathhouse
The bed and other features of the room for this room is just the same as ours, but what you’ll love with this room is that it has a bath tub!
There were just few rooms in the hotel with this tub, so you better book early if you want this one 🙂
Orange Balcony
From its name, yes it has a balcony. Before going to bed, you’ll have a chance to see the city first.
Other features of the room like the table, chair, television, and comfort room were the same as our room.
B1 Snack Bar
Orange Hotel Ximen has a snack bar in their basement… So we went straight to the snack bar after our hotel tour.
The snack bar was spacious! We were informed that our daily breakfast will be held here.
For starters, they have several machines, like the microwave, water machine and the coffee maker! The utensils were also very organized.
Ohhh there is a lot of tea!!! This cabinet was always full!
I like!!!! Yogurt!!! Unlimited yogurt!
I sat down and ate some yogurt.
Different fruits were also overflowing all day!
One of my favorites is the cereals all you can! Ohhh I also love cereals!
Different breads were also served in the snack bar. My favorite bread is the bread with cheese and raisins… the second to the left bread.
I’ll just toast the bread and I’m ready to eat!
Fruit jams and butter were also available.
My favorite!!! Cheese! haha I really love the 24/7 food selection of the hotel. During our stay they have Babyruth cheese, and Brie Cheese! I love!
Hard boiled eggs were also available.
Here is my usual breakfast…
Yes, ham is also served!
If I had a larger stomach I can eat more hahaha.

Cleanliness
The staff of the hotel did a great job keeping the hotel sparkling clean! Our rooms were cleaned everyday.
Facilities
We love the public space, with the space, we got to know other guests, and had unlimited cereal, yogurt, fruits and drinks 24/7! Busy and our friends used the area to work even though we were on vacation. We also like the luggage counter services.
Service
The service was on point! The staff accommodated us very well in our check in, and the other staff helped us if we needed anything. They even allowed us to see the other rooms when we requested to see the other kinds of rooms.
Value for money
The money paid for staying in the hotel was worth it considering the amenities and quality of our stay in the hotel.

The hotel has its own building and it was close to the public transportation (30-second walk to the MRT Ximen station entrance, 10-second walk to the bus stop, and 5-second walk to the U Bike parking), convenience stores, restaurants, and Ximending shopping district.
Ambiance
The theme “Orange” was felt in the whole hotel. We also love how the rooms were set up because it added to the feeling of relaxation while resting in the room. Plus we get to enjoy the view of the city through our window.
Food
The 24-hour yogurt, cereal, drinks, and fruits all-you-can was delightful great! For our breakfast we get to enjoy different cheese, ham, and eggs.
Overall, our stay was perfect! We had more than we need!
