Hi Bro,

 

Confirm left hand drive cause I just came back last month. Visit old friend and he lend us his car to drive aroumd other than be very careful, I find it very odd and funny cause for Spore we keep to the left and imagine on the T-junction and you are turning right this kind of odd to me. Other than in Taipei city which is very congested once you are out is pretty ok cause we have a GPS.

ah thankq for the cfmn..

 

if indeed renting... sure wun b driving in taipei since it's easily accessible by bus/train/rail/taxis...

 

more like rent to go mountains/lakes/seasides since less accessible & traffic

Driving outside of taipei city, traffic shld be ok. But u have to be careful and always rem tht the rd is left hand drive, do end up turn into the wrong side of the rd!

I booked through AirBnB in June. Whole apartment and only 10mins cab ride (NT$150-180) from 101.

 

You can look in AirBnB as well. I paid S$95/pax (total 3 pax) for 3 nights. There's many more available, some of which are situated in central or touristy areas.

 

For connecting rooms in XMD or Main Stn, I'd expect the price to be close to $200/night/room.

i tried airbnb but it wasnt suitable as im looking at 3bedrooms to fit my whole family.

 

the available 3 bedroom houses are quite far away from my ideal location.

Then you have to try similar hotels to Caesar.

 

Another that comes to mind is Taipei Park

 

What I would do is to go hotels.com, trivago or even tripadvisor etc to search for similar hotels that suits your needs.

Then, contact the hotels individually.

 

By the way, have you booked your tickets?

dun expect much from those budget ones, many come with small room, poor sound insulation. Some dun have reception lobby so you wait for the personnel to bring you to an apartment inside the residential block. 

 

After all you just need a room to sleep. 

 

Westgate will be the 'proper' hotel format.
