The hype
Travelers love the electric vibe and the massive breakfast buffet, but the 'too cool for school' service can sometimes feel dismissive.

사람들이 좋아하는 이유
- Prime Xinyi location directly above City Hall MRT and Uni-President Dept Store
- The outdoor WET pool deck is arguably the best see-and-be-seen spot in the city
- Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room, with many offering direct views of Taipei 101
한눈에 보기: It’s loud, it’s orange, and it’s unapologetically bougie—if you hate bass or influencers, stay at the Grand Hyatt next door.
@graceccheng님의 리뷰: I stayed here for two weeks with my sisters and it felt like home. The room was cozy, but the real highlight was the gym—it’s huge!—and the breakfast buffet. Honestly, having that mix of Asian and Western food every morning saved me from jet lag.

Reality check
The 'party hotel' reputation is real—expect noise in the hallways and a lobby that feels like a nightclub after 8pm.
- You thrive on energy and want a hotel that feels like a destination itself
- You need a 24/7 gym that actually has serious equipment (Technogym)
- You want to stumble home from Xinyi's clubs without needing a taxi
청결 & 유지관리
8.8
- Housekeeping: Generally sharp and twice-daily, but recent reviews mention missed dust on high shelves.
- Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate. The TOTO toilets are pristine, and grout lines are well-maintained.
- Maintenance: Recent renovations (2024) in suites have refreshed the 'tired' feel, but some standard rooms still show scuffs on the orange furniture.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, high-thread-count sheets; towels are fluffy but sometimes smell heavily of industrial detergent.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of the signature W perfume (fig/citrus); rooms are generally fresh, though some lower floors catch street exhaust.

“I am a light sleeper and would appreciate a room on a high floor (25+), as far from the elevator as possible. If available, a view of Taipei 101 would be amazing.”
자주 묻는 질문 및 숨은 팁
예약하기 전에 실제로 알고 싶은 모든 것.
Is W Taipei pet friendly?
No. Unlike many W hotels globally, W Taipei has a strict no-pets policy (service animals only).
Does the hotel have a view of Taipei 101?
Yes, but not all rooms. You must book a 'Spectacular 101 Room' or specific suite to guarantee the view.
Is there a resort fee?
No, there is no destination or resort fee, but a 10% service charge and 5% tax are added to rates.
How is the location for tourists?
Unbeatable. You are on top of a subway station, connected to a mall, and 5 minutes walk from Taipei 101.
Is the pool open in winter?
Yes, the outdoor pool is heated and open year-round, though it can be chilly on the deck in Jan/Feb.
Can I bring a guest to the room?
Yes, but security is tight at the elevators late at night; guests may need to register.
내부자 팁
- ✨
The 'Woo Bar' happy hour (5-7pm) often has free drinks for Platinum/Titanium members—ask at check-in.
- ✨
There is a white noise machine provided in every room—use it to drown out the hallway chatter.
- ✨
Skip the hotel taxi queue; walk out the side exit to the department store taxi stand for a faster ride.
가기 전에 알아야 할 5가지
💡The 'open concept' bathrooms have sliding doors that don't fully seal—sound (and smells) travel.
💡The elevators are dark, disco-lit, and confusingly labeled; you often have to transfer at the 10th floor.
💡Housekeeping can be aggressive with the 'do not disturb' checks if you sleep past 2pm.
💡The concierge can get you into local clubs like OMNI or AI without the cover charge if you ask nicely.
💡The 'Wonderful Room' category often faces directly into an office building—keep your blinds closed.
