Hotel East Taipei
Very nice hotel. They provide soda, tea, and snacks in the room every day and the rooftop Sky Garden is a nice place to hang out (they have recently renovated it). Staff are friendly and there is always someone who can speak English which helps as a foreigner. I stay here every time I come to Taipei ...
