Bottom Line

Hotel 73 is a clean and modern two-pearl hotel with limited, but free, features and a fun and trendy pop culture design throughout. The hotel is situated right next to a subway stop, making it easy to get to most attractions via the rail line in 30 minutes or so. The 49 rooms are hip, albeit small, and come with mini-fridges and free snacks. Rooms sometimes lack windows or are subjected to bothersome noise due to thin walls. The breakfast is free and includes local and international choices. A laundry room and Wi-Fi are other free perks. Via Hotel is a good alternative with similar amenities in the Ximending area, plus it has a free cafe for guests and an industrial chic design.

Oyster Hotel Review

Hotel 73

Scene

Artistic hotel with pop culture-themed wall murals and few public spaces

Hotel 73 is a modern hotel with a fun artistic style. The hotel showcases bold local artwork throughout the property. For instance, the breakfast room features a wall mural with popular gaming characters like Mr. Pac Man and Mario, as well as casino slots games. The same design scheme is found in the small lobby -- the only other public space in the property. It has a colorful wall mural with video game characters surrounding a fluorescent light display where the number “73” is superimposed over the word, “Hotel.” As the guest rooms are tight on space, the hotel draws couples and singles who appreciate the free perks and centralized location.

Location

Walkable to restaurants and a two-minute walk to metro stop

At just a two-minute walk from the nearest metro and bus top, Hotel 73 has a great location for travelers who want to explore Taipei. With plenty of restaurants and cafes on the surrounding streets, it doesn’t take but a few minutes to grab a bite to eat. The closest attraction is the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall at a nine-minute walk away. The Daan Forest Park takes 13 minutes to reach on foot, while the National Museum of History is a 27-minute walk away. Some attractions are best reached by car or subway like the Lungshan Temple of Manaka (10-minute drive), Yangmingshan National Park (23-minute drive), or the National Palace Museum (17-minute drive). It’s a 15-minute drive to Taipei Songshan International Airport.
