Regent Taipei

Regent is highly popular and it's our regular pick for visits in Taipei. Room is clean and spacious, with excellent facilities like swimming pool, gym, spa and massage. The on site restaurants are good quality. They have 2 Michelin 1 star and 1 recommended restaurants inside the complex. Be sure not to miss the award winning buffet breakfast. Lots of variety with traditional Taiwanese food. Location is highly convenient with easy access to everywhere. Highly recommended to book the executive floor where they have drinks, tea and snacks all day with happy hour serving sparkling, red/white wine and cocktail from 6 to 10pm. It's always good to be back around Christmas to take photos under the signature Christmas tree.

Spacious, comfortable room, everything was clean and well-maintained. My only nitpick is that the washbasin had the spout installed in a way that made washing your hands without flooding the countertop tricky... Used the swimming pool once, in the morning, shared it with only one other person. Used the spa (sauna + steam room + hot and cold basins) once as well, in the evening. Slightly crowded, but no waits. Both facilities were top-notch. Service was excellent. Didn't try their restaurant.

Foremost, high praises to the concierge team in Regent. Kudos to Oliver, Euni and Nicole. They were always responsive and prompt to my questions and offered great restaurant recommendations. I’m highly appreciative of their assistance. Regent is an old hotel despite the renovations. The bed was firm and provided good support. However, the pillows are rather thin and soft. The hotel may want to consider changing the pillows. Otherwise, the room was adequate, and I must say it was rather spacious. Allocation of breakfast seats could be better. Each guest is assigned a seat and table. However, if you are in a group, I would suggest that you arrange beforehand by ring-fencing a space so all can sit together. I do want to caution that breakfast tends to be crowded especially between 7 and 9. It was quite disorientating. The hotel is not aged care friendly. There is a step that requires a staff to stand by to remind folks of the step. They could have just painted a reflective colour to alert guest. Security is not as tight because the hotel still uses key to unlock rooms. It is rather cumbersome to carry keys in our pockets. Lastly, the hotel may want to do without the music in the lifts. It was rather eerie to have cricket sounds and bird noises in the light compromised lifts.

This is such a wonderful hotel. The hotel has been there for a long time but Our room seems like a just completely renovated with a beautiful view. The front desk is very friendly and each day our room was cleaned nicely with evening turn down service. This hotel has a super fluffy pillow that most other hotel don't have. The breakfast is superb. Will definitely back again.

Odd one given under IHG. Hotel is very grand but old, feels like stepping into the 80/90s. I’m sure it was a great hotel back in the days, but having a (heavy) physical key card isn’t exactly common these days. Room itself is big but carpet looks quite dirty and worn out. Hallways are super dark. Gym is sizeable but is all the way in basement, via a separate staircase. Hotel staff is nice and helpful, which is IHG standards. Overall, I think there are better options to stay for business in taipei.
