Rich Garden Hotel

Hotel is nearer Ximen MRT Exit 2 (stairs only) but use Ximen MRT Exit 6 (Lift available) if you are coming with heavy luggage. It takes 8-13 mins to walk to the hotel from the Ximen MRT. The room we stayed in was a business twin room with windows (see Pictures 19 to 22 out of 50). Carrefour supermart is just 3-5 mins away (Turn right after exiting hotel and walk straight to the end. You will see the building where Carrefour is located. Cross the road and you will reach Carrefour. There are also other known brands - MacDonald's, Starbucks, Yoshinoya, Decathlon in that building). However it is to note that Decathlon does not accept cash but payment can be made using easycard which can be topped up at MacDonald's or any MRT stations. Exact payment for hotel can be paid using cash ($NTW) during check in to avoid credit card charges. But as I did not bring excess $NTW, I paid using credit card. We reached the hotel at 10.30 am but could not check in early as the room was still occupied. But you can leave the luggage with the lobby staff). We checked in around 2.30 pm and the luggage was already in the hotel room. Check out-bring your luggage down to the lobby and the staff will pass you the receipt. The hotel staff was friendly and polite. Everyday, housekeeping would always replenish the tea/coffee packets, biscuits and mineral water. There is a mini bar in the cupboard (underneath the TV). Switch it on, purchase and put in some packet drinks/soda drinks from Carrefour so you will have chilled drinks at the end of the day when you return to the hotel. The TV has many channels to choose from if you want to stay in to relax. Breakfast is served from 7 to 9.30 am.
