An used-to-be good hotel ruined by new "policy change". I stayed here dozens of times for business travels to Taiwan since 2015. Used to get free perks like pens, bottle of red wine, birthday cake, and even free upgrade to suite. This time, booked through Expedia instead of corporate contract. Paid (pre-authroization) full amount for my stay (12 nights) when checked in. Days later, use laundry service for 2 shirts as I always did. Next day, I did not get shirts back but was asked for pay NT$500 cash. Asked front desk why can't they just put charge on the room as they always did. The answer is due to new "policy change". Even paid in full (NT$64K), I was not allowed to use any service without more advanced charge (NT$1000/day). This is insulting. Totally ridiculous. Guest already pre-authorized credit card for full amount of the stay. Hotel can always add more charge based on real expenses. Just like how restaurants add tips on authorized food charges. Why can’t guest put small charges like laundry services on room? Does the hotel really think guest would refuse to pay the small amount? Where’s the hospitality hotels should have? Unfortunately, Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei is no longer the same one I knew. Don't blame on laundry service room and front desk persons. They were just following and executing the "policy". The responsible person is the one in management team who came up this kind of stupid policy.

Walkable and quiet location; one drawback is that the cake patisserie do not operate until after 10:30am & need to go out for a nice cup of coffee. In the room, the free coffee is instant packs of Nestle.

The room was clean and the amenities were easy to use. A lot of options, including healthy options, were available at the breakfast buffet. Checking in and checking out were easy and didn’t take much time. The staff at the front desk and the concierge were polite and helpful. The station for the bus #1960 taking us to and from the airport is conveniently located at a short distance from the hotel. Overall, I would gladly recommend this hotel to travellers to Taipei.
