Rainbow Hotel vs. TS Hotel

Hi all

Am planning to visit Taipei in April. But can%26#39;t decide on whether to stay in Rainbow or TS.

Can someone tell me which hotel is better?

My main concerns are that:-

(a) room must be clean and spacious;

(b) hotel must be near to MRT; and

(c) surrounding area must be safe.

Rainbow Hotel vs. TS Hotel

Both hotels are fav among forumers so you don%26#39;t have to worry.

Rainbow is right in the middle of XMD, surrounding is more lively or noisy. TS is near Red House Theatre and 2 mins from Xi Men MRT station, more quiet but still safe.

you can stay Royal Castle also its no bad also :)

Hi there! I%26#39;m planning to visit Taipei early April too. Check with most hotels recommended by TA i.e. TS, Wonstar, Rainbow, Orange - all fully booked. Even Alishan the B%26amp;B also raise price from normal NT$2500 to NT$14,000 for 2pax (due to cherry blossom) - unbelievable.

OMG! Taiwan tourism must be doing gd man!

Is there any other hotel around XMD area, please!

Hi,

I have stayed at both hotels before.

Rainbow : Normal room for 3 pax

Nice and big. Quite clean. Toilet decent size. Love the location! You can walk ard XMD and just walk right up to your hotel. When you hungry, just go downstairs and the street hawkers are there. Watson just opposite so anything you forgot to bring, can just pop in. Only got internet on level 2 with their 2 PCs. Forget abt the breakfast. Go find somewhere else to eat.

TS : The so called suite on level 7

Carpet full of ciggies stain. sorry but I%26#39;m a freak for cleaniness. but I heard a lot of good reviews abt this hotel so maybe only the suite is bad. Room size smaller than Rainbow. Would think their normal room would be much smaller than Rainbow. Toilet got powerful super jet-style. Quite nice. Location still near XMD but along some lane. Still safe but compared to Rainbow, a 1st time traveller would prefer Rainbow. but TS is still safe IMO. Like the bubble tea near TS. Sure will pass by when you walk back to hotel. Actually all Taipei bubble teas are nice! hahahahaha..... Got wireless internet in room (I think). Even if don%26#39;t have, got 2 PCs in lobby.

For me, I will and am :P going back to Rainbow.

Love the fact that I can find food just outside the hotel.

Hi All,

Thanks for your input. How about Wonstar as highly rated by TA? Our aim is for easy move about and happening.
