As soon as we arrived we were advised that two whole floors of the hotel had been rendered inoperable due to a major pipe bursting in the early hours of the morning, causing serious flood damage. The manager however advised us in very good English that he would put us up in one of their sister hotels nearby with free breakfast and transit by taxi. This new hotel, Kilin Hotel, was okay, but fairly basic and old. Therefore I cannot accurately rate the Paradise Hotel other than to say it looked very old and in need of repair urgently. Next time I go to Taipei I'll be looking to pay top $ to stay in a nice, Western hotel. Taipei really is a fantastic city by the way - I was pleasantly surprised by the vibrancy, friendliness and excellent food - especially the Shilin Night Market for food and clothing at Jiantan train station. Enjoy!

| "A pretty good hotel. Really good location but the first look will let u down. Don worry, the hotel inside is much better. The rooms are ok pretty clean and not that small either. " |

| "The sign for the hotel's name is in Chinese so the first time trying to look for the hotel may be a challenge. The hotel desk staff seemed friendly and helpful. You have to take your own luggage up to your room in the single small elevator. The room is rather small with very little room to spare. We had the standard room with 2 single beds. The room was really cold so we turned off the air conditioner but it was still cold in the room. The TV didn't have many stations to watch. The bathroom counter had ample room for my toiletries. The tub is raised off the floor and the ceiling is low so a tall person's head may touch the ceiling. There's a small refrigerator with a pitcher of water in the room. There's also a pot of hot water for tea or coffee. There's 2 pairs of disposable slippers in the room. The walls are a little thin as you can hear people talking in the hallway and also from the adjacent rooms. The maid service is very good. The front desk personnel speaks English fluently and was happy to give me directions to the Xi Men MRT station and write instructions in Chinese to show the taxi driver. Be sure to bring along the hotel's business card to help you get back to the hotel. They have a safety deposit box in the lobby for your valuables. The location is good and right in the heart of Xi Men Ding. " |

| "The standard room was really very small and there was not much space to place the luggage. Not sure if the hotel is secure enough coz there is no additional lock or latch from inside the room (it is an autolock door). Would only recommend for budget travellers (not really suitable for children or senior citizens). " |

| "We stayed for 3 days in the renovated room of Paradise. The room is a bit small if you have a big luggage like mine. The aircon is very cold. But the staff managed to get a technician to adjust for us. Other than that, it is very clean. There is no bath tub in the toilet, only standing shower which is a bit too close to the toilet seat. Special thanks must be given to the bell man who is so helpful in giving us directions and in arranging our transport to the airport. Location - perfect to the heart of Taipei city - Ximenting." |

| "The staff there were quite polite, attending to our requests almost instaneously. One bad point is that whenever we put our keys with the reception when we are out and try to retrieve our keys, with the exception of one staff, the rest of the staff will just give the key to you without verifying your identity. Meaning to say, as long as you know someone's room number, you will be able to retrieve the keys!" |
