Booked Tomorrow Hotel in Taipei Because of the Great Reviews. Regretted It.
Just a heads-up for anyone planning to travel to Taiwan and considering booking Tomorrow Hotel. I'd strongly suggest looking elsewhere.
I booked this hotel because it had so many positive reviews online, and my fiancée and I thought it would be a safe choice.
We arrived at around 9 PM after a long day of traveling. At reception, the staff told us that the room we had booked was their smallest room. They took us upstairs, and it was incredibly small. There was barely enough room for the bed, with almost no space for our luggage.
I checked my booking and the room photos again because it didn't look like the room I had reserved. After I questioned it, the staff showed us a larger room that actually had enough space for luggage.
Back at the reception, they told us we could upgrade to that room for an additional 5,000 NTD.
I declined.
A few moments later, the price became 3,000 NTD.
I declined again.
Then it became 1,500 NTD.
Finally, they offered it for 1,000 NTD.
By that point, it was already late, we were exhausted, and neither of us wanted to deal with finding another hotel while carrying our luggage. I reluctantly paid the extra 1,000 NTD. What I couldn't understand was how the upgrade price could drop from 5,000 to 1,000 NTD within just a few minutes. The whole situation felt very misleading and, honestly, it felt like a scam.
Another thing worth mentioning is the reviews. They have a Google review QR code right at the reception desk, and they actively ask guests to leave a review in exchange for vouchers for free coffee, drinks, or snacks. They even take a photo after you've submitted your review. That made me question how many of the positive reviews were written because of the incentive rather than the actual experience.
The room itself was also disappointing. The bed was extremely hard, and you could actually feel the springs through the mattress. It honestly felt like sleeping on the floor with a thin layer of padding.
The walls are also very thin. You can clearly hear conversations in the hallway as well as noise from neighboring rooms, so don't expect a quiet night's sleep.
Overall, this was a very disappointing stay.
TL;DR: I regret booking Tomorrow Hotel in Taiwan. I would never stay there again, and I can't recommend it to anyone.
