citizenM Taipei North Gate Overview

First Impressions

Walking into citizenM Taipei North Gate, you immediately get that this isn’t your typical business hotel. The lobby feels more like a trendy co-working space meets art gallery — there’s this playful energy that somehow works perfectly in Taipei. I mean, the design is bold without being overwhelming, and you can tell they’ve put real thought into creating spaces where people actually want to hang out. The staff greets you with genuine warmth, not that rehearsed hotel politeness you get elsewhere.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s what I love about the location — you’re literally steps from Taipei Main Station, which honestly makes everything easier. The MRT connections are right there, so getting to Shilin Night Market or Elephant Mountain takes no time at all. But what really surprised me is how quiet the room stays despite being in such a central spot. The Zhongzheng District has this perfect mix of old Taipei charm and modern convenience — you’ll find traditional tea shops next to sleek cafes, and it all just works. Couples seem to particularly love this area (they rate it 9.3, which honestly makes sense when you see how walkable everything is).

The Room Experience

The rooms are compact but incredibly smart — every inch serves a purpose without feeling cramped. That bed though? It’s one of those experiences where you actually understand why people rave about hotel beds. The mattress has this perfect balance of support and softness that had me sleeping better than I do at home. The tech integration is seamless too — mood lighting you can actually control, and a tablet system that doesn’t make you want to throw it across the room. The bathroom design is sleek, with a rainfall shower that’s genuinely impressive for a four-star property.

Breakfast and Dining

The breakfast buffet surprised me — it’s not huge, but everything they do have is actually good quality. You get a nice mix of Western options and local Taiwanese favorites, so you’re not stuck with sad hotel scrambled eggs. The coffee is proper strong, which you need when you’re planning a full day of exploring. What I appreciated most is that they don’t try to do everything — they focus on doing fewer things really well, and it shows in the taste and presentation.

Why Guests Love It

There’s something about citizenM that keeps people coming back — they have more repeat guests than most hotels I’ve stayed at, and after spending time there, I get it. It’s that rare combination of style, comfort, and genuine functionality that doesn’t feel forced or trying too hard. The location score of 9.3 isn’t just a number — it reflects how easy this place makes exploring Taipei. Whether you’re here for business or wandering the night markets, you’ll find yourself in the right spot to do whatever you came to Taiwan for.

• Exceptional – Jorge from Puerto Rico (9/10)

  I loved how friendly the staff was, especially Emma she was very kind helpful. The rooms were more better than expected very high tech and comfortable.

• Wonderful – Phala from Canada (9/10)

  Coffee and tea should be available in the room. Additionally, the temperature of the refrigerator needs to be adjusted to a cooler setting.

  Definitely the staff—they were very hospitable and made me feel truly welcomed—thank you!
  I also liked the overall concept of the hotel, even though I wasn't a big fan of the design itself, I appreciated the self-check in and the relaxing lounge.
  Ah, and it was very quiet in the room, which was a big plus!

• It was fine – Tung-yu from Taiwan (8/10)

  The room is high tech, and staff was friendly

• Awesome. Wished we stayed longer and would definitely come back again – Jenny from United States of America (9/10)

  Loved this place. We got a view of the water on the 18th floor so it was extremely beautiful. Although the room itself was quite small for my taste, everything was linked electronically to the iPad. There’s LED colored lights for the bathroom that you can adjust to your color liking. You’ve got regular blinds for the windows and also blackout blinds if you want to sleep in without being disturbed by the sunlight. The second floor is where the dining area is at. Food is at additional cost but buffet style with so many different cuisines to choose from. I liked the fact that they had a microwave available as well so we would just bring leftovers from the previous day to warm up and eat for breakfast. I also liked that their water was infused as well but that’s a personal taste.
