Mandarin Oriental Taipei

It was an excellent stay this time. They kindly accepted an early check-in even though I had no M.O. subscription so that I could taken shower at the swimming area to release my midnight flight. Much appreciated. Of course room was great, nothing issues to report here. They cleaned up the room after I came back from outside at the same day. Really thank you, especially to an experienced receptionist lady or manager?who took care of the early check-in and she still remembered my sir name that's reminded me here's great place. Also when I check-out, a concierge arranged my a bit difficult requested that'd also appreciated so much.

Plus: Very close to Songshan airport; 10 minute walk; excellent concierge service; great cocktails at MO Bar Minus: Cafe Un Deux Trois resembled Grand Central with crowds and seating that was too close together; Food had a wide selection but nothing like the award winning restaurants in the other Mandarin properties Cramped and small lobby; Rooms need updating; Sagging beds; Have to take a taxi everywhere Summary: Less Mandarin Oriental and more Buddha in Poverty. Give this one a miss until they update the property

It was one of the best hotels we have stayed in. We travel a lot and have stayed in excellent hotels.
