🌟 A Beautiful Return to a Thoughtful Stay I first stayed at Jian Hotel in 2018 and was drawn to its artistic atmosphere and peaceful design — it truly felt like a hidden gem in Taipei. Coming back this year felt like revisiting a meaningful place. I arrived very late — around 3 AM — and initially had some difficulty checking in. It turned out the hotel had actually sent me the door code in advance, but I couldn’t access my email at the time. Despite the confusion, the staff were incredibly understanding the next day. They not only offered a partial refund but also gave me a kind little gift, which really touched me. Their thoughtful response reminded me why I chose to return. The hotel is just as beautiful and calming as I remember — full of artistic charm, clean lines, and a sense of serenity. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again. Jian Hotel is more than a place to sleep — it’s an experience.

Great hotel in Taipei

Jianshan is a great choice for a Taipei hotel. Fast check in, amazing friendly staff, nice facilities, cool look and also virtually sound proof to the busy streets around. They kindly stored our bike boxes so we could cycle tour around Taiwan. We are naturally staying there when we return to Taipei.

Nice, quaint little place, great location near local eateries, a convenience store, a laundromat. 6-8 minute walk from an MRT station. Love the theme and decor. No elevator, though the receptionist carried my luggage up for me. My only concern was that the power went out twice on the second day of my stay -- once in the morning and once in the afternoon. It was just for a few minutes and an emergency light came on, but it was still an inconvenience.

旅館很不錯,房間整潔,職員有禮,隣近大橋頭捷運站,小區亦清幽。只是房間冷氣機有點嘈,按了靜音模式也沒什麼改善,只好關掉冷氣睡覺😅 另有一個小建議,房間門若能加裝防盜鍊即更好,女住客會更覺安心。

服務員很盡職有禮。房間小但是舒適。因為空間有限,建議擺設可以更精簡。裝飾品如假花及舊書本可免則免。酒店整體空氣品質不佳,而且冷氣太吵。沒有電梯。酒店離開捷運站較遠。 晚間9點過後沒有服務人員。

The room was clean and tea and water were provided but the space was tiny. The staircase was steep and uneven to the top floor and no warning was given about the sleeping arrangements on platforms which would not have suited many.

Excellent people. Very helpful and they just want to make you feel welcome. They really go beyond to help you with options and suggestion. This place will give you a little oriental classic ambiance. I had the chance to experience the stay in different room. The small room is definitely small. There is no space for us to put our luggage in the room. The bigger room is definitely much comfortable. For improvement, the bedsheet was a little rough and I hope to have 4 pillows instead otherwise it will be a perfect stay. Overall, still value for money. Paul was really great and thoughtful. He even gave us some washing detergent for our laundry. We wanted to stay for more days but room was occupied.

My favorite hotel in the world

Jian Shan Hotel might not be a big brand-name hotel, but it has become my favorite hotel in the world (and I've traveled a lot). I've tested out other similarly-priced hotels in Taipei (and ended up in some weird places), and I have never found a better value for the prices they offer. I've stayed at Jian Shan 3 times since 2016 (13 nights total), and I plan to stay there again. Here are the reasons I love Jian Shan: - Super friendly, helpful staff. Last time the desk manager recognized me and was really nice to me. New staff are also friendly. The boss was even friendly when I saw him work night shifts a few times. - Super clean - Daily room service if needed, with free water bottles and tea - Super reasonable price - Cool retro decor, recently renovated - Amazing location walkable to 迪化街,大稻埕,寧夏夜市,and 延三夜市. Supermarket is a 1 min walk away. 大龍街 is also not far away. MRT is walkable. - Across the street is 24/7 世界美食總匯 -- crazy amount of food choices with good Taiwanese breakfast options and reasonable prices (not sure if English is supported) - Quiet, despite having a temple nearby. I never had trouble with noise, even when facing the street. - Lots of history and culture in this location if you research it There is no elevator, but they will carry your bags up and down for you. I truly love staying at Jian Shan, and I will be staying there again. I have never found a better value for the prices they offer. I highly recommend staying here!

Must try!

Well decorated place with antique look and feel. Love the unique experience sleeping on top of a double decker bed. Need strong legs to climb the stairs as there isn't any elevator.

Fantastic stay! During my 2 nights stay I've met 3 staff at the counter and they were all extremely friendly! The room was tiny but very comfortable with almost everything you need and a great shower! I stayed in a room with a unique setting, a upper deck bed and below it has a big space for your luggage but I do wish that that bottom area was a little brighter. And the tv tends to self reset quite often. Highly recommended for those who loves boutique hotels!

Great Design and Helpful Staff

Located in one of the first developed areas in Taipei city in the past, the hotel sets the tone with a retro vibe through the design details, especially the inviting lobby that provides a cool photo-opp for those who wants to be a bit nostalgic about the good old days. Travellers can also easily immerse themselves in leisure street walk around the corner. Kudos for the clean room and the friendly staff members too.
