Very friendly hotel located in a great position next to Nanjing road sky train station. We stayed in a double bedroom on the 10th floor. The room was great, very clean and comfortable and had a view over the nanjing road below. Room included free 30min access to a hotel laptop in room each day, bottle of water per person and breakfast. The bathroom was a little small but very clean and included all the usual shower gels, razors, toothpaste etc expected. The breakfast each day was very good with a big selection and was available untill 10am in the main upstairs restaurant or 11am downstairs for an american breakfast. We stayed for 11 nights visiting family in Taiwan. I enjoyed every minute in Taiwan, will be going again asap and will stay again in the Brother hotel. All staff were very polite and efficient, I had absoulotley no complaints at all.

Recently stayed at this hotel, when I booked I thought I am going to stay at a very old and mold hotel, but when I arrived I was surprised by the renovated room and it's outstanding location (right next to the subway station). Just be noted there is no exercise room and swimming pools, but other than that this is a good hotel with great price and location.

This is the first time I am writing a review. I had gone to Taipei as a trip down memory lane. I had not been there since 1982 and I was very excited. I was also concerned because when I lived in Taipei in late 70s - early 80s, there were not too many western style amenities (shops, fast-food, etc) available and I was so wrongly concerned staying in a hotel sight unseen but I went by what I read on this site.. Well, Taipei has a come long way. The Brother hotel is very centrally located in Downtown Taipei - very central. It's on a busy corner and so the lobby is buzzing continiously which I like. I got a great discount from the hotel's website but when they showed me the room, I didn't like it. You can imagine the shape of the hotel as a triangle with a hollow center. The first room they showed me was on the inside of the triangle, a smoking room, and very small. Ok that's fine -- that's why the discount was big. If it wasn't for the smell of smoke, I prob. could have been ok in this room ( btw, I smoke). But I went back downstairs and paid a little bit more for a larget street-side non-smoking room. Def. worth it. The rate also included two options for breakfast. There was the buffet on an upper floor (chinese, continental) until 10am or the coffee shop downstairs untill 11. Both were fine. The staff were very nice. I completely recommend this hotel.

I usually don’t write reviews, but I really had to this time. This motto of treating their customers like “brothers” is really true!

I was thinking about staying at the Caesar Park hotel since it was close to the subway main station. However, I’m glad I didn’t. When I went by to do some snooping, the area in that hotel was really busy. In fact, people from the main station literally walked through the hotel to get of where they were going. A definite turn off…. Back to Brother …

First off, they offer a hotel transfer at a great price – someone stands at the airport with your name on a card and you are escorted to a black Mercedes right to the hotel doorstep. Do try tipping the bellhops and driver, they might accept. If not, they at least know you’ve appreciated their help!

Back to hotel. The room I asked for (high floor, non-smoking) was spectacular. It had a great view of the city and the subway station. Did I mention how ridiculously convenient this hotel is? The subway station is literally across the street of the entrance. On top of that, there are two bakeries (one which the hotel owns), and a convenience store right next to the hotel. I’m an early bird; so every morning I would get breakfast at the hotel’s sushi/rice ball shop next to the reception area and their bakery. Although they do tote 8 restaurants, which have great service, I found it a little pricey and not as tasty as other less expensive fare.

The rooms are absolutely immaculate. You have this funny little console in the center of the room that controls the lights. The bathroom is also very clean. They try with a marble façade. It’s not huge, but very nice. Use all the freebies (bottles of water, toothbrushes, etc) If you don’t they keep stacking more on top everyday!

The service really can’t be beat. You are greeted warmly from the moment you step into the hotel. Your room is really cleaned twice a day. I think they stalk you when you leave, since they never encumbered me. The reception staff speaks English, Chinese, and Japanese. I had brought some fruit, but no knife. So the next day, the cleaning staff noticed I hadn’t eaten my fruit and they left plates, knives, and forks so I could chow down on my snack! You can exchange money right in the hotel at the reception desk and they give really good rates. You get to borrow a laptop for 30 minutes for free and Internet is free. When you leave, the bellhops will stand there in their cute uniforms and wave like the president is leaving!

Brother, I miss this place!
