Jungli Le Midi Hotel — comfortable pre-flight base by Taoyuan's Airport MRT
Jungli Le Midi Hotel is a 4-star hotel that's "the most practical pre-flight stay in the Zhongli area". It occupies the upper floors of a tower beside the Laojie River, roughly 1 minute by car from Airport MRT A22 Laojie River — so you can ride the Airport line straight into Taoyuan Airport (TPE). Its standout strengths are rooms that are noticeably larger than typical central-Taipei hotels, and a buffet breakfast guests rave about.
Jungli Le Midi Hotel occupies the upper floors of a tower beside the Laojie River in Zhongli — a location that sounds far from Taipei at first, but is in fact one of the smartest pre-flight bases around, sitting roughly 1 minute by car from Airport MRT A22 Laojie River. From there the Airport line runs straight into the TPE terminals, with no need to drag suitcases through Taipei's early-morning traffic.
The first thing guests mention is room size — Superior rooms start at around 23-29 sq m, clearly more generous than same-tier hotels in central Taipei. Beds are soft, there's a pillow menu, and each room has a work desk and a small seating corner — ideal for families with several large suitcases, or anyone who wants room to spread out before moving on.
"Perfect location — right at the end of the airport railway line, minimal walking from the MRT, very kind staff, good breakfast and a clean room."
The buffet breakfast at MILLERHALL on the 23rd floor is another consistent point of praise — there's a local Taiwanese section, Western dishes, a Japanese area, vegetarian options and a children's corner, all with a city view from up high. Some guests say it's more varied than expected for this price level, though a few reviews feel the choice still isn't as wide as big-city hotels.
The hotel has been open for a good while, and its decor still leans on the beige-and-brown palette of a classic business hotel — tidy and clean, but not boldly modern. Some reviews say plainly that the interiors "look a little dated." If you're after a design-led boutique hotel, this isn't it; but if you want a spacious, clean, quiet room that simply works for an overnight before a flight, it does that job well.
There's more around the hotel than you'd think — about a 5-minute walk reaches Zhongli Sinming Night Market, a popular street-food spot, with convenience stores and restaurants dotted around the tower. Zhongli train station is roughly a 10-minute walk away, so getting into Taipei is straightforward if you want to explore the capital on arrival day.
In short, Jungli Le Midi Hotel is best for travellers who need a comfortable stay before an early flight, or who land late and want a restful night before heading into the city. Spacious rooms, a strong breakfast and the Airport MRT right next door — it's a great-value, worry-free choice for the first or last night of a Taiwan trip.
Transit tip: Airport MRT A22 Laojie River station is about 1 minute from the lobby on foot. The Express Train reaches Terminal 2 in around 18 minutes, Terminal 1 a further 5 minutes. For guests with a 06:30–07:00 departure: check in the night before, set your alarm for 04:30, grab a coffee at the lobby, and walk to the MRT — no need for a taxi or ride-hailing at that hour.
