Time of stay: June 2007 & May 2015
Before we made the
reservation, we researched to make sure this hotel received good reviews.
People said it was not easy to find this hotel, because it’s hidden in a small
alley. Good thing that we had enough information, so we knew we should
first find the easier target – the Ambassador Hotel. Taipei Wish Hotel is
located in an alley adjacent to the Ambassador, with a 7-11 at
the corner. Although the address listed on their website is Jhong Shan N.
Rd., it’s actually Zhong Shan N. Rd. They use the latter in the directions.
Many boutique hotels have sprung up in Taipei in
recent years. Most of them are stylish but small,
yet providing reasonable services. In 2007, we stayed in Standard Room and
Deluxe Suite. The real size of the Standard Room was smaller than what the
photos showed on their website. Fortunately we did not have much luggage, so we
were fine. Everything in the bedroom and bathroom was clean and neat. But the
TV on the wall was really small, especially if you want to lay back and watch
it. Also, although we asked for a non-smoking room, there’s a tinge of
cigarette smoke coming through the ventilation. The Deluxe Room was pretty much
the same as the photos on the website. In 2015 when we stayed there again, the
two types of rooms were of the same rate. Since the Deluxe Room was bigger and
had either a Jacuzzi or a steam room, it’s a natural choice.

In order to increase the number of rooms, quite a few new boutique
hotels in Taipei have thin walls and therefore very poor soundproof effect. So many times I could hear clearly what’s
going on in the neighboring rooms or in the hallway. Sometimes the noise even
disturbed my sleep. So, the soundproof rooms at Taipei Wish Hotel were
especially appreciated.
The stay included a free
breakfast in either Western or Chinese style, which was served in the
restaurant in the basement. The stairs were a little steep, so be careful.
Other than the restaurant, lounge and conference room were also in the
basement, where magazines were provided. There were also free laundry
facilities. The staff of the Taipei Wish Hotel was friendly and pleasant. They
made our stays enjoyable.
