The Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei

I lived at the hotel again on Oct 3, 2021. I think that their service was fabulous! At the moment, my dad and I carried a lot of suitcases. Their employees came to help us instantly when he saw it. We appreciated his cooperation. However, I was a little bit disappointed about their breakfast. We got several breakfast boxes at the restaurant. However, there were full of pickles in the boxes. Most of them are suitable for gruel, or they might taste salty. If they could use stir-fried vegetables or other dishes instead of pickles, it would be better. However, I am still willing to visit the hotel again. Also, I hope to eat a buffet-style breakfast after the pandemic.

Food great, service great. Came here since I was two years old, the third generation of my family to come dine here.

my sister had her 18th birthday there and the place is very clean and amazing! allan helped us a lot during our stay there!

Happy New Year! My family, my wife and I have been staying at this wonderful hotel for sometime. My friends asks me, why don’t I stay at the Doubletree (I am a Hilton HHonors Gold Member), or the Regent, Sheraton (my old hotel) I worked there for 20 years. I said to them, I stay at the Howard Plaza for a number of reasons. 1) The staffs. 2) Its like a family (my home) every time I come back to Taipei. 3) The convenience for my business. 4) Everyone recognize my wife and I. 5) The owners of this hotel treats the staffs with respect and recognition. I have been in the hospitality industry for over 40 years. Starting with Starwood, Hilton, Marriott and 2 independent chain hotels. Worked in Taiwan, Shanghai, US, Thailand. Customer recognition and consistency is what I value when I stay at a hotel. Your staffs, from Concierge, Front Desk, Housekeeping, Executive Lounge (Ariel, Haley, Jo and Jennifer). These are the staffs and jewels of this hotel that makes the guests want to return. The lounge and housekeeping staffs knows the type of pillow I prefer, blood pressure monitor, and so much more, room service knows the condiments I like, they know I like my food hot, Of course, because of the pandemic, the travel industry is badly affected. Also affected are my family hotels back in Malaysia and Sydney. People asks why don’t I go back to be with my own hotels, I tell them, its because they run hotels differently from I do. Whoever reads this comment, I hope that your staffs needs recognition from Management. I have heard that there is a new GM at the hotel. I sincerely hope that the GM loves the staffs like I love them. Especially the lovely and hard working ladies at the lounge and front desk, housekeeping. I just ordered my room service and my dinner is here. I would love to meet the new GM on my next stay which is about 3 weeks from today. I will go and have my dinner now. Have a great New Year. Things will be back to 80% normal by the middle of this year. Thank you for reading this long comment. Regards, David

I had a buffet lunch in the weekday at the central plaza on the ground floor. There are sufficient choices to choose. Most of them are the Taiwanese/Chinese dishes and Japanese sushi. The overage experience on the foods are above average.

The food is outstanding and not to mention their services is even better! We have a very pleasant gathering and thanks for Howard’s colleagues delivering such wonderful dining experience. @Formosa Restaurant, 施凱祥領班Kevin

The room is clean and luxury. Staffs are very helpful although their English is not very good. Breakfast is disappointing for a 5 stars hotel.

I like the hotel located in central Taipei. Near to MRT station, helpful staff, clean and spacious public area and comfy guest room are attractive for me to stay here. Guest room features Ming style furniture, good quality mattress and soft pillows. warm lighting, quiet aircon make you relax in the hotel. even standard room equips bath tub. It’s not a new building but owns itself style. several good and famous restaurants inside it. Worthy to visit it and stay here if you want to find an elegant place in Taipei. Highly recommended their bakery in ground floor.
