Sheraton Grand Taipei Hotel is a traditional high-rise hotel featuring expansive rooms, a large atrium, and nine on-site dining options. Guests appreciate the Sweet Sleeper beds, marble bathrooms with Japanese-style bidet toilets, and convenient access right next to the Shandao MRT station. However, reviewers regularly criticize the dated 1980s-style aesthetic, low room ceilings, and slightly outdated lounge decor. 103514

- “The staff was very efficient at clearing up so it didn't feel that bad.” 21

- “Whilst the interior of The Lounge, positioned to the side of the check-in counters, remains slightly outdated compared to other Taipei hotel bars, the bar is a good meeting space for drinks and snacks.” 10

- “I wouldn't stay there if I was a frequent visitor to Taipei but for a once or once in a while stay, I think it's well worth it even if the rooms could use an update and the location is not central (but Shilin/Jiantanshan are also cool places).” 23
- “This Sheraton Taipei is very popular with elites due to its great location. There is definitely a need to set expectations when it comes to upgrades and benefits here” 4
