Very good hotel. plus: very nice and spacious room (got free upgrade, executive floor), very friendly hotel-staff, supermarkets, bakeries and lot of different restaurants in short walking distance
minus: 15-20min walk to metro (or take bus to metro), shower wall was not 100% leakproof, no good view from room

we had room 1519 (photos), stayed 2006-10-19 till 2006-10-21
due to the location - I would try another hotel the next time, although itself was excellent

We had a wonderful 4 days stay
at Rebar in December along with
our extended family. We had to
add an extra bed for our young
son and the bed is a real nice
twin bed instead of some fold-away snap your-finger kind
of bed. The bathroom is very
spacious and the room is of good
size. The hotel is very clean and
well maintained. I would definitely
come back to Rebar when I
am in Taipei again.

We stayed at the rebar crown plaza taipei on our recent trip to attend the Food and Packaging Trade show. before going , i printed a map of the location of the hotel to make sure its near the Taipei World Trade Center. the map shows its about 5 blocks away but its actually very far that you cannot walk but have to take a 20 min taxi ride. Its a small n nice hotel, the breakfast buffet is ordinary, with no changes for the 2 days that we stayed at the hotel. The only thing i notice and hate is that everytime you walked through the door into the hotel, the security and doormen watches you in a very suspicious way, never smiling or saying anything. Part of hotel service is hospitalityand showing courtesy, maybe they should tell the doorman to smile and try to recognize and know their guests.

My six nights here were quite nice. The room was large and clean. The bed was really firm, but I didn't have any problems with it. My favorite part of the hotel was its (free) expansive breakfast buffet, serving both Western and Eastern cuisine. I also liked the gym -- it's larger than I had expected. It had cardio and weightlifting equipment, as well as free weights, and a TV with English-speaking stations.
