I stayed there one night last October. I liked it quite a bit. My room had a giant stuffed panda in a provocative pose which was very odd. I am pretty sure I booked a regular room. I had platinum status at the time. Not sure if that got me much. It was raining pretty steadily so unfortunately my airport view wasn't so great. The dinner buffet was quite good.

The free shuttle bus fills up pretty quickly in the morning.

It's on the Accor website. Seems to be the regular rate which is cheaper than their current promo rate and does include breakfast.

Tried to get some info from the hotel, but no response. Does anyone have an e-mail address contact other than the e-mail option on the website?
Also, do they still offer a free shuttle bus service to downtown Taipei?

If you are a plane buff you can walk through the hotel gardens to the air force museum which is really within walking distance) and is free to wander around. They have static old US military planes that are interesting. The museum will close when the next terminal is constructed, which will fill the space between the hotel and the existing terminal complex.
Staff are great and if you have any issues, contact the GM. He is a French guy who response rapidly to requests and comments. I had one and the customer team were onto me the next morning to discuss over complimentary breakfast - and it was nothing serious, just one of those first world issues that plague travellers nowadays.
Thanks for the tips^

I'm interested in staying here for a late in early out stay in early March. Nonrefundable rates are running $150. I'd prefer a rate I can cancel. That hits closer to $200. Are there any codes such as AAA or Hilton's MVP that bring the rate down? I've got a free night booked 20 minutes down the road at Holiday Inn Express Taoyuan, but would rather cut out the commute time.

Afraid not, Accor do not operate such codes. If you are planning to stay regularly in the Asia/Pacific region the Advantage Plus programme might be worth looking into. However you have to sign up in country. This thread explains http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/accor...t-country.html

Much nicer than the HIX, too.

Can you compare and contrast, please?

Of course this might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the decor is much more different - the Novotel is very modern with the whole headboard lighting up, lots of glass in the bathrooms (magic glass too), wardrobes etc are the "integrated" roof to ceiling type with dark woodgrain, all have a modern look. Almost like an Aloft (but a step nicer IMO).

HIX is still nice and clean, but much more "traditional". Of course, you can't beat free though, so might not be worth switching.

Thanks, belfordrocks. How is the food? What about at the airport? We want Asian, not western.

Would be interested in any updates on this property.
And any way to make cheaper.

I just stayed there. There is a free hotel shuttle bus, which runs every 30 minutes, except during the night, from Terminals 1 & 2 to the Novotel. I booked a month in advance and paid 3500 TWD + 350 TWD tax = 3850 TWD, for a standard room, incl. b/f. I had no complaints, as airport hotels go. There are limited options at TPE. There is a Evergreen hotel inside the airport, airside, but when I last checked it was no cheaper. (This would be similar to the SIN Transit Hotel.) Accor Hotels offers sales from time to time.

Thanks. Seeing the same price. Is it walkable?
