Rainbow Hotel

Rainbow Hotel

This is a tourist class hotel located in the heart of Ximending, a popular shopping area in Taipei. It seemed to be a favourite place to stay among South-east Asians, mainly Singaporeans and Malaysians, probably due to its proximity to shops and eateries. Except for the family suites, most rooms are small and cramp. Room charges are reasonable though in view of its location and comes with complimentary daily breakfast.

The down-side of its location, however, meant that we had to tolerate the noise and loud music emitting from nearby shops and cafes till the wee hours. Breakfast was nothing to shout about. It was usually toasted frozen bread with assorted jam. If you are early, there might be some slices of ham or bacon. The alternative was plain porridge with assorted preserved pickles. Housekeeping was barely efficient. When we arrived, one of the rooms we reserved was still not ready. Although the chambermaid apologised, she did not seemed to be in a hurry and even found time to watch television in the room while we waited.

Unless you intend to shop from morn till night, I would recommend seeking accommodations elsewhere.

Getting there:
From Taoyuan International airport (formerly CKS): take the Fei-go or Free-go express bus from the bus terminal at the airport. Charges are NT35 per person and takes about 40 minutes depending on traffic conditions.

From Taipei Main train station: take a taxi if you are travelling in a group, costs about NT100 and takes about 5 minutes. Or take the MRT (blue line) to Ximen station and exit at no 6. It is approximately 5 minutes walk from there.
