Meworld Hotel — off the airport train and into your room in 3 minutes
Meworld Hotel - Taipei Main Station is a 3-star value hotel that sits directly opposite Taipei Main Station — step off the Airport MRT from Taoyuan Airport, cross the street, and you're in the lobby. No taxi transfer, no long suitcase haul. It's the ideal choice for trips where transport convenience and an affordable price come first.
Meworld Hotel opened in 2022 on the 7th floor of the Asia Plaza tower, across the street from Taipei Main Station. The selling point is obvious from the first step — this is one of the most transport-connected hotels in Taipei. Taipei Main Station bundles the TRA railway, the HSR high-speed rail, two MRT lines and the Airport MRT terminus into one hub, so whether you're arriving from the airport or heading on to another city, everything is just across the road.
"Land at Taoyuan, ride the Airport MRT to the terminus, walk out of Exit Z2, wheel the bags across the street to the lobby — the whole thing genuinely takes under ten minutes."
All 200 rooms have been freshly renovated — clean and modern, with a fridge, flat-screen TV, wardrobe and free Wi-Fi throughout. Many guests praise the rooms as "newer and cleaner than the price suggests" with comfortable beds. But there's one thing to know before booking: several of the cheaper room types have no window — a common feature of hotels inside central office towers. If you want natural light, choose a "With View" room type, which clearly states it has a window.
Location is everything here. Step out of the tower and you're surrounded by the underground Taipei City Mall and 24-hour convenience stores; Q Square mall is a few minutes' walk, Ximending is one MRT stop away, and TRA trains to Jiufen or Yehliu depart straight from Taipei Main Station. For anyone planning to visit several cities in one trip, basing yourself at this transport hub saves a real amount of time and travel cost.
The limitation guests mention most is the lift — because Meworld shares the building with offices and other hotels, you may wait a while for a crowded elevator at peak times. Rooms are also compact with limited luggage space, and some rooms have no hairdryer, so check the room's amenity list carefully. As for breakfast, the hotel doesn't serve any — but with this central location there are countless breakfast spots within a short walk.
In short, Meworld Hotel is best for travellers who put transport access and price first — those arriving late at night, catching an early train to another city, or planning to use the room only for sleep while exploring all day. If that's you, it offers a rare level of convenience at a genuinely good price. If you want a spacious room with a window and a full-service hotel atmosphere, consider other options in the same area.
