Shangri-La Far Eastern, Taipei

Very nice lounge , room and location

Location

Furniture needs changing. Just to old.

Good Location. Clean . Neat . Quiet

The breakfast was great. The hotel has a large selection of food, drinks and desserts. The staff is very attentive and professional

The hotel is in need of some TLC. The exterior surfaces of the entrance need to be properly refurbished. The paint is patchy some old some new. This is something I would not expect at a Shangri La property.

In addition to the excellent breakfast, spacious rooms, and elegant setting, it was the staff that was most memorable. Their friendliness was so welcoming and it illustrated that hospitality was their true calling.

Wonderful views, excellent breakfast buffet, fantastic pool

Nothing, I would definitely stay here again.

The clean and tidyness of the hotel, the staff, locations, the view!

Oh well if I have to pick on something, may be there is no you tube on the telly? It's not smart TV - it's not hook up to the internet. And also may be the coffee capsules may not be enough? It's 2 per room. And it's not original nepresso so I have to keep pressing the 'brew' button if you see what I mean.

This hotel delivers on 5 stars status. Room was excellent with super comfy beds and they accommodated our young family well with cots and extra beds. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice (albeit it’s pricy in Taiwan terms). Views from our room of Taipei 101 made it worth us splashing out!

Nice, bordering on Old-school luxury hotel. Terrific service. Great views from rooms, rooftop pool and restaurant

The kitchen staff + Concierge + gym staff were very friendly.

I paid for a view of 101 only to see that you didn't have a direct view from the room but had to come close to the window to see it somewhere on the left!The room was right next to the lift so - all day+night - you hear the wooshing sound from the elevator going up and down the shaft!!!When I dialed the front desk to ask for something...it never came. Then I called again for laundry pickup...another unfulfilled task. Eventually I was told to leave my laundry bag outside. Then they didn't return my clothes!!! Luckily I remembered on time!!The best part is that they don't give you amenities...cause they care about the environment. They care so much that there's no recycling bin!!

Location and staff

Booked afternoon tea with front desk- showed up- no booking. Didnt have enough "sets" for 3 of us. Booked on Wed for Sat afternoon. Got told we should have booked Tues at the latest? Weird....Also required to put a $2700 aud deposit when checking in- despite rooms being paid in full. I have always left credit card details at check in but never had that much taken out of my account. The money was returned 24 hours after check out- but still....

The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful.

The building and furnishings looked dated.

Exceptional hotel. The room was the size of a house! The Club room and value was excellent. The service and staff were wonderful. The breakfast was an incredible offering of many dishes from different cultures. An all around superb hotel.

Everything was perfect.

We booked two suites and they were both spacious; the layout of the suites were well-suited for families with bathrooms en suite and in the living room area. The swimming pool (which we didn’t get a chance to try despite staying 7 nights) looked very nice and as it is situated on the rooftop, had excellent views. There were also two terrace areas on the rooftop of which one offered great views of the 101. The gym is serviceable and generally on par equipment wise with other hotel gyms - meaning it’s not great if you’re a serious gym goer. The breakfast buffet selection was good and suitable for kids.

The rooms are very dim. There’s no way around it. Hotels tend to be dim but our rooms were to the point where it just felt dark all the time. While the lights should be sufficient, we suspect the primary reason for this is the very heavily tinted windows on the property. I can’t stress how heavily tinted they are. Related to the tinted windows is how it affects the marvellous views they have. If you’re thinking of booking a Taipei 101 view, think twice. On very bright and sunny days, it should still be decent - albeit with some photo editing. But if you’re hoping to see it at night? Good luck. There’s no amount of camera trickery that will make those photos turn out well. You’re better off just going up to the rooftop to enjoy the night view. The rooms, while clean, do show signs of age and the interiors are very 90s looking.

Staff at this hotel from checkin, room service, bell boy, cleaning ladies, lounge staff, all gave excellent service & courtesy as expected of a 5 star hotel! We enjoyed our stay there at the Shanghai-La Far Eastern Taipei.

Couldn’t get a booking for reunion dinner at the Shang Palace on 28/01/25 cos full booked. Should have done an earlier booking!

The room is spacious, well furnished with armchairs, a bay window seat with a beautiful view to the city, and Taipei 101! Two big windows overlooking the city with morning sunlight streaming in, how fantastic is that!The beds are big and comfortable - good night sleep!Hotel staff in general are good, some are better than others!A big shout out is reserved tor Sarah, who was on lifeguard duty on our last night at the rooftop pool. She went above and beyond to make my family feel special ! Thanks!

Minor observations- Our room is a Grand Deluxe Family Room for 4 adults. It was baffling to find fruits catered for 3 and coffee pods for 2. Two of our four luggages have nowhere to place but on the floor.

The room is very spacious. The whole hotel has a very good smell.

The restaurant is a bit dirty.

The bed was comfortable and the breakfast had a huge variety. The room was big and had a closet.

All areas with a view of Taipei 101 were closed off for a private party. I spent 600 usd a night, but was unable to use the facilities. It was disappointing. I went to the dream bar thirty minutes before close and all the tables were dirty and the bartender told me I couldn’t get a drink even though it was still open for 30 more minutes. For the price you pay, you would expect to be able to use facilities.

Very accommodating staff at the lobby, drop off area

We forgot to ask ahead — assistance for airport transfer

Rooms were very nice! Breakfast was great as was the ambiance.

The bar at the higher floors was very nice except for the music they were playing. Hope they can curate the music being played better.
