Kim the receptionist was exceptional in making sure our needs were met. She went above and beyond.

The staff at the hotel are very friendly and helpful, especially Kim, the lady staff member. She is very enthusiastic about booking the restaurant for our first meal in Taipei. We greatly appreciate it. Thanks again, Kim :)

The room is smaller than I expected. Fortunately, it has windows in both the bedroom and the bathroom, so it's not too bad for people like me who have claustrophobia.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, making us feel very welcome. The location was ideal for exploring the city and its surrounding areas, being close to Zhongshan MRT Station and central bus stations. The rooms were comfortable, and the breakfast catered well to Western tastes.

Nothing.

Such welcoming staff, making the guest feel immediately relaxed and at home! Although the hotel is in a lively area with restaurants and bars just a few steps away, our rooms were quiet and restful (although a second chair would have been a bonus). The hotel is quite small so we did not expect the expansive breakfast of an international chain hotel. But there was amazing variety and every day many of the dishes were changed. All were delicious (yes I tried a little of everything). An exceptional effort! This is truly an outstanding hotel with wonderful staff!

More plugs for charging devices would improve the amenity of rooms.

Great location, close to Zhongshan MRT, plethora of food and drink choices and countless of shops. Walking distance to the famous night market. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. They go above and beyond to help us with our inquiries. The washing machine and dryer facility is a plus. They change the breakfast menu everyday so we didn’t feel sick of it even though we stayed there for nearly a week. The facilities and room at every clean.

Downside: The room is a bit too small for my expectation. When we opened our suitcases, there isn’t any place to walk. The view was pretty much the wall of next door building.

I loved everything about staying at this hotel. The location is extremely convenient, centrally located and close to the ningxia night market and to many restaurants and shops. My room was spacious, soundproof, extremely clean with a large bathroom and a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was rich in variety with both Asian and western offer, their coffee machine makes a nice espresso (which is not to underestimate!) and I liked the nice touch of the little cups with yogurt and coffee jelly. They do offer some valuable complimentary services like cup noodles past 9 pm and few others which I did not have a chance to use. However what I found most outstanding was the cordiality, dedication, kindness and proactivity of their staff, especially Kim who was fabulous with me. I have always known Taiwanese people to be the kindest, hospitable and caring people you can possibly meet and Kim is the quintessential of such character. She not only gave me lots of tips, advice and suggestion for my overnight stay in Taipei, she also helped me with tips for my next stops in Taiwan and followed up to see that I made it to the train station. She really made my stay even more enjoyable and yes I recommend this hotel 100%

Our stay at the Dandy Hotel, Tianjin was fantastic. We had been traveling for a month and stayed at some grand hotels in Slovenia and Italy, but the award for 'Best Hotel of Our Trip' goes to Dandy, Tianjin. The hotel delivered way more than we expected right from the start. Mainly thanks to the wonderful staff, a big thanks to Caroline on the front desk. We ate at a different restaurant that Caroline recommended each night and they were all fantastic. Just local places, nothing fancy... but the food was awesome, we really enjoyed it. Also huge thanks to Kim who helped us endlessly, especially on our last day when it was raining. We filled the day nicely with her recommendations of places to visit on a wet day The Dandy kept showing these 'little kindnesses' to the guests... we had access to use the washing machine/laundry for free... there was 24hr tea and really nice coffee downstairs in the breakfast room, there were always little snacks to eat each afternoon and at night some quick noodles if you needed a snack. Oh... and the breakfasts... were fantastic! Each morning there was a different spread of hot and cold dishes to choose from... on the weekends they include dumplings. The breakfast was another highlight of our trip and the ladies who stand by keeping everything neat were also so very nice. All up, we had a wonderful four days in Taipei, overwhelmed at first, but with the help of the lovely staff we felt like we were getting to know the city by the end of our stay.

Nothing. Dandy, Tianjin are going above and beyond.

Just 5-10 min walk from either Zhongshan metro or Taipei main station. Easy to locate. Very friendly and helpful staff. Their hospitality is exceptional. Room is big, clean and comfortable. The breakfast is superb. Hotel provides generous snacks and supper too. Very grateful to the hotel for providing free laundry especially during the hot summer. Felt relax, comfortable and just like being at home during the entire stay. Special thanks to Kim from the front desk for all the recommendations in Taipei.

Soundproofing is not so good. Air condition temperature not easy to control.

I LOVE the staff. They were friendly And helpful, knowledgeable and has great self-initiative. We interacted with Kim, Amanda and Sean. They were wonderful. Ever polite, friendly and helpful. We also love the cleanliness, practical setup of this place. They are considerate of a traveler’s needs : namely the need for a friendly face, clean laundry, clean bed and sheets, a clean bathroom, hot shower and crisp towels! Cable TV was a bonus!

A tastier cup of coffee would be good. Warmer food in the buffet breakfast warm food section would be a bonus! Nonetheless, these are minor details.

We recently stayed at The Dandy Hotel in Taipei and we were really impressed! Despite being a 3-star hotel, the service was definitely at a 4-star level. The staff went above and beyond – they even gave us a courtesy call for checkout time without us asking, and were super flexible with storing our bags before and after our stay. The room itself was a pleasant surprise. It was much bigger than what you typically get in Taipei, and spotlessly clean. The bed was really comfortable and we slept great – it was nice and quiet too. The bathroom was a highlight with amazing shower pressure and lovely lemongrass-scented toiletries. Just a heads up though – the shower is over the bath, which was quite narrow. There's a handrail to help you get in and out, but it might be tricky for older travelers. One thing I loved was being able to open the window for fresh air, though don't expect any views. The location was really convenient, just a short walk to the station. Breakfast was pretty average overall, but they did have some nice cakes. Oh, and if you're looking for last-minute gifts, they have some cute items like soaps and keyrings at reception – really came in handy for me! The only real downside was the breakfast not being anything special, but honestly, everything else made up for it. The fantastic service, clean and comfortable room, and convenient location make this place a gem. I'll definitely be staying here again next time I'm in Taipei!

The room was a bit cold but a heater was delivered to the room immediately when we phoned reception.
