L’Idiot was the name of a posh restaurant in Steve Martin’s “LA Story”, where you had to go ahead of time and have an interview and financial analysis before they allowed you to reserve for the night. The restaurants’ logo was a photo of Mussolini - considering no half-dishes, seems appropo.

As always, great video. I always try to follow your recommendations and never get disappointed. Going to Taipei again next April and booked this hotel since it’s quite interesting unlike Le Meridien, W Or Sheraton Taipei. This hotel is very centrally located to all the yummy restaurants ! Thanks!

I just want to point out the nice background music you used for this video. It has the oriental touch to it which makes it sound appropriate for this kind of video. I've been to Taipei many times on business trips so I may need to check out this place in the future. You should also visit Kaohsiung in the southern part of Taiwan. cheers.

Your Saigon - Taipei itinerary is so similar. Lived in Taipei for 8 years, now 8 in Saigon and your choices / preferences are pretty much identical:) Breakfasts in Taipei hotels are always mediocre, unless one goes for the big guns like Marriot etc.

I haven’t. I’m not a fan of their pricing policies (essentially a baseline of $900/night, regardless of location) which makes them a really poor value in some of the locations I’d actually like to try them out. In no world should a resort in Vietnam be the same price as ‘the best’ hotel in Tokyo- especially when I know they pay standard wages in Vietnam . When I see one that blows me away or seems worth the money- I’m happy to try one out.

This looks like a wonderful place, thank you for another great review! When you say the hotel was designed by, do you mean both building and interior or the interior only? BTW there’s a typo in the intro: 1:33 personalized booking *advice (or do Americans spell it with an S?)

@tfft

10 ай бұрын

If there is information available about a different interior vs. exterior designer, I’ll make that distinction. If I can’t find such information, than I presume it’s the same designer throughout. And thanks for the spell check. Will fix the graphic but you’ll be seeing it in the next 6 or so videos that are already uploaded haha.

Doesn't seem like a choice for me even though I enjoy the unique design because I'm not a fan of the walking into the bathroom thing. I really enjoyed the Hilton Taipei, seems like not the best area for tourists but the price was reasonable and was actually closer to the city attractions than I though. But oh wow, those restaurant prices seem quite expensive for Taipei, no? I was blown away with the Taiwanese food in the city, did you enjoy any during your shorter stay?

Yeah it’s odd, but when you consider that the alternative would be to take away space from another part of the room in order to make a proper entry I think it’s easier to digest haha.

Yes they always are and I usually write that. Forgot in this case but have corrected.

I stayed in this hotel last December, in the exact same room type, and the room smelled intensely of mildew. The breakfast also tasted quite bad. I’m a fan of your content in general, but in this case, I think you were far too generous.

@tfft

Fair enough- if my room smelled like mildew or my breakfast tasted bad my score would have likely been lower, but I didn’t experience those things. Thanks for watching 🩴

Thanks for this. I have to say this hotel is now firmly off the radar for me. Several aspects I did not like the look of, especially the room/bathroom layout, and, the copper walls that gave me the creeps. It made me question how well they actually clean the place if they are content to leave grubby fingermarks on plain view. That did not say "Feature" to me, it said sloppy standards. I also felt it was over-priced for what was offered, you don't even get a door on the bathroom!. In my part of the world we have a saying... "It's all Fur Coat and no Knickers". For those who don't understand, it translates as "All show and nothing underneath". I won't comment any further, it's simply not for me. My genuine thanks for a helpful review.
