Caesar Park Hotel Banqiao
$130-180/ natt
Boka detta om You want 5-star hardware at 4-star prices with direct train access to anywhere in Taiwan.
Varför människor älskar det
- Incredible connectivity: connected via skybridge to Banqiao Station (HSR, MRT, TRA)
- Rooftop infinity pool (32F) with sweeping city views
- Massive marble bathrooms with separate tubs in almost every room
Snabb Överblick: A stunning skyscraper hotel that feels like a luxury steal until you realize the pool is freezing and you forgot your toothbrush.
Recenserat av @naelynette: I was blown away by how much luxury you get here for the price. My suite was enormous with a stunning marble bathroom that felt like a spa. The rooftop pool is the perfect escape from the city heat. Ideally located and feels way more expensive than it is.

Reality check
You might get a stained towel or missed dust spot, and don't expect a free birthday cake — the service is efficient, not pampering.
- You need to catch an early High Speed Rail train
- You prioritize room size and bathroom luxury over personalized service
- You want a killer view of New Taipei City

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.
Is the pool heated?
No. It is ambient temperature, meaning it's freezing in winter and refreshing in summer.
Does the hotel provide toiletries?
Only bulk dispensers for shampoo/soap. No single-use items like toothbrushes, razors, or combs.
How do I get there from the station?
From Banqiao Station, take Exit 2 (MRT) or Exit S3 (HSR/TRA) and look for the 2nd-floor connecting skybridge or walk 3 mins at street level.
Is parking free?
Yes, but it's on a first-come, first-served basis and shares a garage with the Hilton. It fills up on weekends.
Can I see the Christmasland lights from my room?
Most rooms don't have a direct view of the main light show, but you are a 3-minute walk from the event.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate. If not, it's ~TWD 715, which is steep considering the excellent local food nearby.
Insider-tips
- ✨
Use the 2nd-floor walkway to access the station; it's covered, safer, and has an elevator.
- ✨
The 'Prestige' rooms have Dyson hairdryers in some setups (verify at check-in).
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast and hit the 'Yong He Soy Milk' spots nearby for an authentic $3 meal.
5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The lobby can feel like a train station itself during peak check-in hours (tour groups galore).
💡The 'City View' is sometimes just a view of the Hilton next door if you're on the wrong side.
💡There is no sauna or steam room, just the gym and pool.
💡Room service is limited and can be slow; Uber Eats delivery to the lobby is a popular hack.
💡The elevators are fast, but there can be a wait during morning rush hour.
