Whenever I travel to Taiwan, I stay within the Ximending area because of the accessibility to food, shopping and entertainment even during late hours. I was searching for a reasonably affordable option when this hotel popped up in my feed more than twice
Located at the edge of the Ximending belt, Solaria Nishitetsu is a newly built hotel in 2023 which is just a 3-minute walk away from the bustling Ximengding street. This location is perfect as it is quiet and peaceful but not too far away from the buzz
For security, the front door is closed from 10pm and will require your room keycard to access the building. The first-floor lobby has a separate entrance to the carpark and 2 lifts to bring you to the check-in counters on the 6th-floor
The lobby is spacious and brightly lit with many open areas for guests to hang out. On top of the usual sofa seating areas, there is a more private library area where guests can sit and read the papers or magazines provided. There is also a small bar area where coffee and chilled bottled water are provided. The check-in process is fuss-free and extremely fast with very polite and helpful staff
I was extremely pleased to find that the hotel was packed with Japanese hospitality providing every amenity you may need during the trip at the lobby. You can help yourself to any number of items needed but hoarding is not encouraged. They also have a locker room for guests who wish to leave their luggage in the hotel with paid locks. Other facilities within the hotel include a gym, laundry room, ice machine and smoking room
The hotel was newly built and you can tell from the almost new furnishings in the corridors with warm and welcoming lighting
The room size is great for a hotel in such a good location. With a queen-sized bed, there is still an area for lounging with a sofa and side table. There is also a small desk that people can use to work or set up as their make-up table. I used it for storing all my shopping. The entire space looks open and wide as there were no big cabinets but open-concept hangers above the luggage stand. They also provide a clothes freshener spray for guests to spray their clothes after a heavy meal. The toilet and bathroom are separated which is good for 2 guests in a room so the toilet is accessible even when the bathroom is occupied. The bed and pillows were great and I had such good rest from the bed's support. The view from the room was also gorgeous both at night and in the day
The room provided many amenities, which is uncommon in other hotels. Other than the electric kettle for hot water, they provided a cute teapot with cups, full bottles of shampoo, body soap and conditioner, a shoe brush, bedroom slippers, silk pyjamas and cups and glasses
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Solaria Nishitetsu in Xi Meng Ding as the location is great and the service provided by the staff is excellent. The room is wonderful since it is fairly new and the bed gave me fantastic rest during my trip. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for 4-star comfort in a star area
