I stayed here for a little over a week when I visited Taipei. Very kind and attentive staff. A large assortment of food available for breakfast. The room I had overlooked Da’an Forest Park, which was a pleasant way to wake up every morning. Room came stocked with water bottles, juice boxes, and a few snacks, and these were restocked each day. I didn’t use the laundry facilities, but they’re available on site.
The location is about ideal. The hotel is right on the red MRT (metro) line, a few stops away from Taipei Main Station (and, in the opposite direction, Taipei 101). It’s only a stop or two away from transfers to other MRT lines. The neighborhood is very safe at all times of day (which is true of every part of Taipei I visited, actually).
Dandy gives the best of both worlds: it’s right in the middle of a happening metropolis, but also right across the street from a peaceful city park, one of the most beautiful I’ve ever been to in a large city. I walked through the park almost every day, either in the morning or after dark, and there were always people walking or jogging, kids playing, teenagers goofing off — a very family-friendly environment, in other words.
I enjoyed my time in Taiwan so much that I’m already considering a return visit. If I do make it back, I will definitely be staying at Dandy’s Da’an Park location again. Thank you!
