Burgary Hotel — a Jacuzzi tub at an easy-on-the-wallet price
For travellers who want a "spacious room with a Jacuzzi tub" at a price that isn't steep — Burgary Hotel is a choice many people overlook. This modern-style hotel in Ximending is just 5 minutes' walk from MRT Ximen Exit 1, and what sets it apart is the onsen-style soaking tub in the Deluxe rooms — very hard to find at this price level.
Burgary Hotel sits on Zhonghua Road in Wanhua District. It has been open for several years and keeps refreshing its rooms. The building stands out with its gold-framed doorway, easy to spot, and has 46 rooms from Standard to Deluxe Jacuzzi. Every room has a soft down comforter, a 32-inch LED TV and fast free Wi-Fi. Standard rooms measure approximately 22–25 sqm — noticeably larger than most hotels at this price point in the area — with queen or twin beds and space to move around comfortably.
"The rooms are much bigger than other hotels at the same price — and the Jacuzzi tub was the highlight of the whole trip."
What travellers talk about most is the onsen-style bathroom with a large soaking tub in the Deluxe Jacuzzi room — very hard to find in a hotel at this price level. The tub is large enough for two, with adjustable hot water. After a full day walking Ximending, a hot soak before bed at NT$2,800 is genuinely great value. City views from the higher floors take in both Taipei 101 and the CKS Memorial Hall illuminated at night.
The hotel has a restaurant offering free breakfast included in the room rate, served 07:00–09:30, with bread, eggs, drinks and fruit. The choice isn't large but it saves money each morning. The 24-hour staff are friendly and helpful — there's luggage storage, tour-booking assistance, and on-site parking, which is very rare in Ximending and ideal for guests who drove.
For location, Burgary Hotel is about 5 minutes from MRT Ximen Station, 3 minutes from Ximending Night Market, 5 minutes from Red House Theater, 10 minutes on foot from Longshan Temple, and just 1 MRT stop from Taipei Main Station for the Airport MRT connection to Taoyuan.
One thing to know is that the hotel has been open for some years, so some areas may look older than in the photos. Lower-floor rooms facing Zhonghua Road can catch some street noise, and Wi-Fi is occasionally slow. Lower-rated reviews mainly mention traffic noise on floors 2–3 and some fixtures that look dated compared to promotional images.
Booking tip: the Deluxe Jacuzzi at around NT$3,500 is excellent value for couples. Request a room on the 6th floor or above for better views and quieter nights, and book at least 3 weeks ahead in high season — the Jacuzzi rooms always sell out first.
In short, Burgary Hotel is best for couples or two travellers who want a spacious room with a Jacuzzi tub and free breakfast at a reasonable price. If you value room size, privacy and having parking over a full-service hotel — this is an excellent choice in Ximending.
Deluxe Jacuzzi rooms on floor 5 and above offer the best views and the quietest nights in the building — ideal for couples wanting a romantic atmosphere. Booking a Standard room on a weekday typically saves around 15–20% compared to weekend rates, making the value even stronger.
