Hotel Riverview Taipei

The location is not exactly central Ximending if you're looking for that BUT it is a 10min walk to Ximending if you're a slow stroller like me and I think the location is great. It's not noisy or crowded and I like how when you are walking towards Ximending, you will pass by the famous Milk Donut shop. A good morning perk up or a night snack when you leave or head back to the hotel. They're also located opposite the river where you can do morning/evening runs which my brother did. Maybe just go during high tied instead of low tied, mainly due to the smell of the river during low tied. Room size? Amazing. I was pleasantly surprise at the size of the twin bedroom. It had more than ample space to open two luggages with alot more space to dance around or chill or just put your shopping bags. A really good space.Even the doorway is big with a huge mirror. I love that the room had a window that is big enough to see the world outside. My room had a view of the river. Really beautiful during sunsets. I get very claustrophobic and alot of the hotels in Ximen have no windows so this is extremely pleasant. Bed was comfortable. There is a TV but do not expect netflix or anything like that. It's really just showing local channels. Toilet looks little old and dated BUT it's clean. It's spacious. The toilet bowl comes with a bidet (MAJOR PLUS). There is a shower bathtub situation and the water is nice and warm when I want it to be while showering so I wasn't very bothered by how it looked. Oh! Towels are amazing! The whole place, honestly, is old vibes but it's one of the best stays I've had in Taipei since the first time I started coming 6 years ago. Also very conviniently located if you take Uber often, I feel. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel. It was a pleasant surprise. A pleasant stay. Will definitely come back!

Hotel lobby tip top condition, but rooms level may need to upgrade. Room air con cannot control. Window sound proof is good to cut down traffic noise. Near ximen shopping street.

The air conditioner is really good. They’re turning on during all the time regardless of the room key. Above all, the overall service and location is nice.

Excellent stay with Riverview Hotel. It is close to Ximen business area for food and shopping. Hotel staff were very helpful. We booked for three nights and got a free upgrade when we were not 100% happy with the 1st night room. The upgraded one has a smart toilet which is very nice. The hotel even offered free luggage storage and free shuttle drop off to Ximen Station.

The Hotel is very good y, all staff are friendly and helpful. We will come back in the future. Thank goodness.

The hotel is within a walkable distance to ximending. The room is okay but not enough space to open a luggage. The bathroom is also transparent with window binder to cover it.
