We stayed at the Grand Hotel for one week. What a wonderful way to experience Taiwan. Everything about this hotel was just perfect. The decor of the lobby with its majestic grand staircase and many lanterns and a gigantic floral arrangement in a Chinese vase on a table in the middle of the lobby sets the tone for the Taiwan experience. ...
I stayed in a prestige room in the 7th floor in June, 2008. The room was huge and with a large balcony and view across the city. I cannot fault the hotel except for its remoteness. There are no 7-11's within walking distance, no paper shops or stores to browse etc. The hotel itself is a reminder of how hotels were like Raffles in the early ...
Seeing this hotel from a distance is amazing, it's a beautiful building which I can describe as being very oriental looking. When approaching it looks even nicer, when you get their the doorman will open the door for you and you're met with an amazing lobby. The lobby is in typical oriental fashion, red carpets, and red pillars holding up a ...

One of a kind

Seeing all the negative reviews, I had to write something. We stayed at this hotel twice. We somehow managed to have a room on the main building , 4th floor, right above the main entrance both times. My brother and sister preferred to have hotel in the east part of the city. Those hotels are typically newer and more centrally located than ...

Not Grand at all
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/17/06

The lobby of the hotel was very impressive. Thinking that the outside and inside looking nice. I thought my room was going to be a treat. Boy was I wrong! ...

Disrespectful Hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/08/06
The staff was more concerned about towel theft pool side than providing first class service. Very people in markets and streets were much nicer than in the hotel.

Gaudy, but good gaudy
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/19/06
Very neat and clean. Giant RED pillars hold up the first floor. Large RED Chinese lanterns hang from the ceiling. The clerks at the front counter were extremely helpful. The food and gift items are way over priced, but all is done in very good taste. I paid $10 USA for a cup of coffee. The workout room is very clean and has a good variety of ...

We could not wait for morning to arrive so we could find some other place with AT LEAST A WINDOW and get out of here !!! Decor is creepy, all reed and very old... We ...
