Palais de Chine

I stayed at Palais de Chine Hotel in Taipei for almost five days, and overall it was a great experience. I was especially happy to enjoy some traditional Chinese breakfast again — it’s been a while since I had that, and it felt kind of emotional! The location is super convenient, right next to the train station, which made getting around really easy. The room was okay. Some of the equipment felt a bit old, and the air conditioning wasn’t very strong. Also, the price is on the higher side. But overall, it was still a comfortable stay. One thing that really stood out to me was when I randomly ran into Lucy (I think she’s the Guest Relations Manager) on the 6th floor — she immediately greeted me by name and even remembered my room number. I was honestly a bit shocked, but also really touched. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guests. She was super friendly and always willing to help with anything. Also, Polly at Le Salon on the 17th floor was very kind and helpful too. The food options there were pretty diverse, and the atmosphere was relaxing — it’s the kind of place where you could easily spend a whole day just chilling. Overall, I had a really enjoyable stay. There were a few small downsides, but nothing that ruined the experience. I’d definitely consider coming back the next time I visit Taipei.

I would like to commend Miss Sarah Chen for her excellent service. She was attentive, professional, and went the extra mile to ensure everything was handled smoothly. Her positive attitude and efficiency made the experience pleasant and stress-free. Truly an outstanding example of dedication and commitment to great service. Well done keep up your good work. Cheers

Glad to see a lot of improvements. On a previous occasion, the breakfast experience was terrible (we spotted a live cockroach taking a stroll at the fruit station) and we stayed away from breakfast for the rest of that stay. This time, we are glad to see that hygiene and lighting has improved. We booked the executive room and the afternoon menu downstairs at the restaurant was quite good, enough choice for vegetarian and desert was great. The lounge upstairs was a bit confusing, not much snacks but the view was nice. Front desk efficiency which was a previous pain point has improved. Always great to see hotel improving on subsequent visits.

The very friendly and responsive concierge team at PDC led by Mike Huang, his team members Ori Wu and Ting Nie has made our stay in Taipei most memorable. Mike helped us with reservations at the 3 star Michelin restaurant Le Palais. His recommendation on the choice of dish to pre-order at LP was spot on and the food very much suited our taste buds. Ori provides service with a smile behind her mask and helped my travel mate pack her many purchases in a box to grab and go. Housekeeping was prompt to vacuum broken glass shards at a late hour. Much appreciate the warm human touches in PDC which has dark decor and is dimly lit along corridors.

Excellent room, super clean. Massive bed. Excellent value for money. Fantastic location too, lots of bars and restaurants around. Great breakfast. Lots of choice.
