Beauty Hotels - Star Beauty Resort - Taipei

Overall, this is a good hotel for travelers. Convenient location. 7-11 just one block away, about 7 min walk to Shilin night market and Jintan metro station. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Free WiFi. Only downside is that they don't have central heating system, only portable heaters, but no biggie for me.

I was very impressed with this hotel for the price. It's walking distance to Jiantan MRT station and the Shihlin Night Market. The room was clean, and very modern. Also, the free breakfast is very extravagant.

Great location. Five to ten minutes to Shi Lin Night Market and train station. Easy to get to other tourist spots by train. Great variety of food for breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. The only complaint is the hair dryer only works for 15 seconds before needing to get recharged.

The staff makes good recommendations and very prompt in responding to requests. They are also very helpful in a medical emergency. We had a little stairway accident that need stitches in the middle of the night. They provided transportation to the hospital and waited with us in the emergency room until we saw the doctor and got the necessary treatment. […] Very helpful staff. The location is very near a MRT station that enables us to get all over various places in Taipei. Read more

The hotel was a good value and a nice surprise; it appears to be a new building. Our room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom had a claw foot bathtub and separate shower. The staff was friendly and knowledgable, they also spoke English. Great location - walking distance to the Shilin night market and metro station. The only thing wich could be improved […] is the buffet breakfast. There was a wide variety of food, but the western dishes offered all fell short - rose flavored pancakes, underdone french toast and poor coffee from a nescafe machine. (Just a few steps from the hotel is a great coffee shop - Coffee Seed - unfortunately it only opens at 10am) Read more

Althougt they have no clock in the room, this hotel is close to the famous night market & the subway station also, so it is very convenience .The neighborhood is very quite. I like it.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The reason for me to select this hotel is it's location. It is near the metro Shilin station and right next to the night market with all the good local foods. We used metro to go every where and always stopped by the night market before back to hotel. The hotel is kind small and room is standard 3 stars but is clean and comfortable. They don't have […] in room safe but you can leave your valuables in the front desk. The breakfast was ok but not great. But you cannot beat the location. Read more

The hotel in no way resembles the photos presented on the advertising websites. It is not large, is fairly dark and confined at reception and has only one small lift. We had a large size 'luxury' room on the top floor. Good, airy bathroom, but main room although adequate, requires refurbishing and updating and had small windows. View from the high floor […] was good and we could see Taipei 10. Breakfast in the basement dining room was plentiful, but only Asian with choice of oily vegetable, rice or egg dishes. Sometimes hard to face. Only small plates of fresh fruit and no fresh juices. The staff at all times were helpful and informative. The surrounding area is drab and rather broken down. Only a short walk to the railway station is good, but stay clear of night markets for food. Otherwise the markets are fun. Read more

I would say that the hotel location is quite good as it is near Shilin night market as well as the train station. Surrounding areas also have some restaurants, mini market, etc It provided wired internet... it would be better if the hotel could also provide wireless internet in the room.

I stayed 2 nights in the Beauty hotel after my conference in Hsinchu. I enjoyed very much to be close to the night market and subway and bus stations. Staff was very proffessional and always doing their best to help you and assist you in your stay in Taiwan. It was really a wonderful experience. Very nice and kind people.

This hotel met and exceeded my expectations. The staff was very friendly and nearly all of them spoke English. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The hotel is small and has a family feel to it (only 8 floors with 6 rooms per floor), and the hotel was extremely well staffed. The breakfast buffet was impressive for such a small hotel with many local […] dishes as well as American type food (bacon, eggs, toast,, etc) and the coffee is outstanding. There's a penthouse room (107 or 108) on the top floor with a beautiful view but I didn't check with the hotel to see if it is available. My one complaint about the hotel room was the fact that our "king size" bed was actually two twins shoved together with a divider put between them. My husband and I were basically forced to sleep on one twin each or to endure the uncomfortable middle section. But given how exhausted we both were after walking around the city for 8 hours a day, we both essentially fell into a coma each night so it generally wasn't noticed. The power button on our tv was kind of broken so it made it difficult to turn on but since we were only in the room to sleep and shower, we didn't care enough to complain. The hotel is a short walk to the MRT (less than 2 blocks), a fantastic fruit market with the best fresh fruits (some are even cut up and individually packaged which made it extremely easy for us), close to the Shilin Night Market where I had the best shaved milk ice cream I've ever eaten. There are two well stocked convenience stores directly across the street from the hotel and several restaurants on the same road with the hotel. We literally wanted for nothing. There's a huge pool and water park across the street from the hotel. The hotel has a daily shuttle that runs all over the city but since they have a schedule, it's easy to miss. But even if you miss it, the MRT is so easy to understand and to use that we found no need to bother with the hotel shuttle. We did take the shuttle to the airport with Read more

We have stayed at the Star Beauty Resort twice now and we absolutely love this hotel! The rooms are immaculately clean (as is the rest of the hotel) and the free daily breakfasts are fabulous serving an array of traditional Taiwanese style dishes. This hotel is close to the Shih Lin Market and there is an abundance of places to eat within walking distance. […] And the subway/train stop is within walking distance so you literally have access to everything you need right outside your door!

Overall stay and services are good except for check in supposed to be 1500hrs and in the end have to wait till 1630hrs in order to check in.And in the nite after our whole day out, was suprised to received a call from receptionist that our tv volume too loud and at that time our tv volume was around vloume 5 on their tv. which we already barely hear […] and yet was told to tune our volume down.therefore i believe its their door and wall having the problem so they should look into improving it or maybe cut off all tv from midnite onwards or even provide headset for patrons to use after midnite.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We stayed for three nights. It's a nice hotel with friendly staff. Conveniently located near the MRT and the night market. Hotel room is OK and clean. Only downside is that the walls of the hotel room are thin and thus a bit noisy. The hotel breakfast is good with a lot of choice between western and Asian dishes.

Small but clean & comfortable hotel. Location ideal-near to Shilin Nite market & Jiantan MRT station for easy access to other locations. Many eateries outside hotel which make having meals easily. Value for Money.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Though it's walking distance to shihlin night market, it's still a little long way back from the night market to the hotel after a long day with tired feet (about 10 minutes)...The hotel is clean and the staff always greet you upon entering/leaving the hotel. We asked for room service to send us a pair of chopsticks so the staff went to the nearby Family […] Mart to buy! It's also convenient if you need anything as it's just beside the 24 hour Family Mart. The area has nothing in the afternoon though....just along the road out there's a noodle house selling very cheap and nice fried gyonza (guo tie) with many different choice of ingredients... a must to try!!!

I thought that this hotel was easy to locate and very comfortable. When I had questions I asked the front desk and they were mostly willing to help. However I did find that despite the large room size they did not provide a luggage rack - so I struggled to find where to put my large luggage. This probably isn't the hotel for someone who wants to go […] clubbing all night in the city as Shilin is located quite north of Taipei. However taxis are not too expensive but if you are cabbing everyday, that may add to the cost. If you are coming from SonShang airport, taking a cab might be worth it as it's not too far. I took a train and it took me 1.5 hours to lump around my large luggage. When I was there the hotel did not have any pamphlets or maps of their location; I wanted one so that if I took a taxi, I could show the driver where to go. The lady in the reception informed me that they were printing them but I was able to use a small business card of the hotel to direct a taxi driver (it had the name of the hotel in Chinese Characters). Also, even though breakfast is up til 10am, I notice that the staff started cleaning up just after 9.30 so I don't recommend coming after 9.30 as the food is less and they sort of rush you and give you the impression that they want you to leave! Overall though, this hotel is clean, spacious, not too far from the MRT station and you can easily take a taxi to JianDang station (faster than a train!) or SongShang airport. Read more

Relatively decent stay, relatively easy to find, able to ask for directions from Jiantan MRT station cos there was a tourist info booth there. There is a 24hr fruits shop nearby and a convenience store just opposite and a few food places just outside the hotel... the best thing is that it is walking distance to Shilin night market hence we could walk/shop […] all we want til 12mn and not worry about not being able to get transport back to hotel. Breakfast was good too, good variety. There is also a shuttle bus from Jiantan MRT to Miramer Shopping Center where the ferris wheel is! :) Dont mind staying here again just for the proximity to Shilin market. :) Read more

The rooms are very pleasant, with a great sea-view, but it is disappointing that there is no direct access to the beach from the terrace. There is no microwave oven and the minibar is almost empty. Services are minimal - no restaurant or buffet bar, so obtaining meals is an issue. The hotel is currently being renovated and it was disappointing that […] no-one bothered to point that out when we booked. Good for a short, quiet and relaxing break, but you'd go crazy if you stayed longer than three nights. Read more

We were placed at a corner room, unfortunately, on the very first day we checked in, they were fixing the window of the room next to our room, in the end we couldnt rest at all the whol afternoon, and the noise only stoppped after we feedback about it.

Upon arrival to the hotel. our room was not ready due to disinfection procedures, however, after returning to the hotel after 3 hours, we were given another room on the 2nd level with a faulty window. The hotel was very responsive in providing another room but we had to wait another hour, hence we head out to the nearby shihling ye shi first. Upon returning, […] we found that overall the room is clean, but due to the size of the room it was a bit crampy for me. The sound-proofing however is very poor, and we were woken up multiple times in the middle of the night. Read more

I would recommend Star Beauty Hotel. We paid extra to have a luxury room and it was worth the extra. The luxury room is a decent size room and all have spa baths. I did see the standard rooms although small still had everything you would need. The staff at the hotel are all really helpful,friendly and willing to help.Breakfast was ok everything you […] would want,although was not very hot.The hotel is about a 5min walk from the MRT which is really easy to use to get around. I would suggest buying a swipe card which saves 20 percent on fares and is easy to use. The hotel is also near the night markets. Around the hotel is a few different eateries all of which we tried and enjoyed. If travelling with the Aussie dollar it is a good idea to get some Taiwan dollars b4 you get there as the hotel does not change Aust dollars,alot of banks dont change either the Bank of Taiwan will change which is close to the hotel. Taipei is a clean city. Read more

Friendly staff; close proximity to Shilin Night Market, clean rooms. Breakfast spread was nice, however could have more fresh cut fruits as vegetables/salad in the mornings may not appeal to foreigners.

Good value for money accommodation. Rooms are not big but very clean and functional. Hotel staff are efficient and very accommodating. I asked for direction to ATM/Bank for international cash withdrawal- they looked up the nearest bank for me, showed me how to get there and wrote down the address in mandarin so that I can ask for direction again if […] I have problem. I asked for extra bottled water and it was delivered to the room 5 seconds after I put the phone down! It is about 8 minutes gentle walk to Jiantan MRT station, which is not a problem unless one is traveling with elderly or in bad weather condition. Very convenient for visiting Shilin night market ( very close) or national palace museum, but a bit of distance away from other attractions. However, taxis easily available and is not costly.

Hotel is within walking distance to ShiLin market and Jian Tan MRT station. There are some nice restaurants along the street leading to the MRT and ShiLin, take note of one nice restaurant call JMC Restaurant, the boss is very friendly and the food is very nice, cheap and fresh. For those who prefers ShiLin than XiMenDing then this hotel is ideal. Taxi […] to other locations is around $110NT only, places like Sogo along Zhong Xiao Tong Lu and 101 etc. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful but the thing is breakfast is almost identical everyday.

The hotel is located pretty near to one of the biggest tourist shopping attraction, Shilin Market. Basically you could actually shop till wee hours everyday and walk back to the hotel.

if compare to a boutique hotel, this hotel may seems a lil bit simple and average. however, if you are looking for one that is clean/convenient/not that awesome but platable breakfast and with friendly staffs attending to you, this hotel is highly recommended. if i have to mention one negative point, it is that there is only 1 lift, which doesnt seem […] quite enough. and on my first night there, i had to wait for 1+ hour before my room is ready. but the staffs are there helping to solve any problems of mine. and always with a smile on their face. the route to the night market may be a little dark. but is just a short distance from the main road. there are also 3-4 24-hrs mart around the hotel. basically theres 1 when u cross a street. and another when u cross another street. last, i think the scenery at the top floors are really good too.
