Totally love the idea of the hotel, each room has different design and every floor has different design along the passageway. The room is well equipped with tv, mini fridge, bathroom facilities and cute room slippers. It is not very far off from the train station. The staff are really well trained and informative, they provide us a map and... More

For a very good value, the room and toilets are clean and creative elements can be found everywhere. You get to choose the room that you would like to stay in during check-in. The hotel is about a 7 minutes walk to the neartest train station, with the Shinjuku/Harajuku-alike shopping street about a cross-junction away from the hotel. I would... More

Fell in love with the artsy concept when I was searching from tripadvisor and decided to stay in it.... No regret whatsoever! Remember to reach early so that you can choose which room you want to stay in.

I've actually stayed in this boutique hotel twice. It is fairly cheap under $2,000 TWD. The staff are friendly and they have an excellent brochure with map showing all nearby MRT stations, major roads, and places of interest. The hotel has 3 affiliated parking lots. The closet one is right beside the hotel but has only around 20 parking spaces... More

I enjoyed my one night stay at The Icon Hotel. I booked the Original Room, which was spacious and clean. Each room had a different theme and you get to choose your room during check-in. Sadly, we arrived at 5+pm and many pretty rooms were taken up. Nevertheless, the room I stayed in was unique, clean and overlooked the main... More

We had a room without window. We have no issue on it. Rooms size is spacious. Chic and modern design. The aircon is centralised, unable to adjust temperature individually. And during the night, a drainage smell comes out from the aircon, awful... Not the whole night though, probably 15-20mins. We smell it for both nights. There isn't any full length... More

Stayed for one night due to last minute change of schedule. Like the creative design of the hotel. Location is great, Walking distance to shopping area. Staff is reasonable helpful and friendly but the hotel room is not well maintained. Moldy grouting in the bathroom, stains on coffee table. Breakfast is a tray of meat-stuffed croissant, a small salad and... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
With a natural and seemingly accidental presence The Icon Hotel is situated in a corner of the popular XinJueJiang Shopping District. Adjacent to the ever so elegant Central Park metro station, and across the tree-canopy-clad Minsheng Rd., is a simply classic structure full of creative twists.We chose white as our foundation and embellished it with vibrant brushstrokes. Through the creative efforts of numerous artists from around the globe, beyond language and cultural barriers, boundless imagination is materialized in 36 dimensions.Humorous originality frolics in every corner of the hotel as we hope that at every turn of the corner you might let out an occasional chuckle. The Icon is creativity, it is art, and it is a lifestyle. With a humble and low-key attitude we have shattered the traditional impressions of motels, inns, and hotels. Here at The Icon we have orchestrated a visually and aesthetically pleasing feast.The Icon creativityUniquely craftedWe are The Icon! ... more   less
