Fullon Hotel Taipei, East
A resort pool by the Freeway No. 3 interchange
About this hotel
Fullon Hotel Taipei, East offers free access to recreational facilities including an outdoor swimming pool, steam room, sauna and gym, a genuine resort package in a valley town better known for its food street than for hotels. Rooms are spacious and well lit, with LCD TVs, electronic card locks, broadband internet, a refrigerator and an electric kettle. Muslim-friendly dining at Happy Garden Restaurant and Arcadia Café serves Islamic dishes and drinks on-site. The Freeway No. 3 interchange sits close by, putting Taipei City Hall and the Xinyi District roughly a 10-minute drive away, with the Maokong Gondola and Taipei Zoo about 15 minutes further along the same road network, both easy half-day trips.
- Free outdoor swimming pool, steam room and sauna
- 10-minute drive to Taipei's Xinyi District
- Muslim-friendly on-site dining
- 15-minute drive to the Maokong Gondola
Our take
This suits travelers who want proper resort facilities, a real outdoor pool, steam room and sauna, while still keeping Shenkeng Old Street's stinky tofu stalls and quick Taipei access within reach. The Muslim-friendly dining broadens who the property genuinely serves beyond the Old Street's specific menu. Travelers who want to walk straight from their room to the food stalls should look at smaller Old Street lodging instead.
- ✓Use the Freeway No. 3 interchange to combine a pool afternoon with a morning in Taipei's Xinyi District
- ✓Try Happy Garden Restaurant on-site rather than assuming Shenkeng Old Street covers every dietary need
- ✓Pair a pool day with the Maokong Gondola, about 15 minutes away, for a tea-house afternoon
Why we love it
- Free access to outdoor pool, steam room, sauna and gym
- 10-minute drive to Taipei City Hall via Freeway No. 3
- Muslim-friendly dining at Happy Garden Restaurant and Arcadia Café
- 15-minute drive to the Maokong Gondola and Taipei Zoo
Why guests love itTravelers staying here who came mainly for Shenkeng Old Street's stinky tofu often end up just as glad about the pool: an afternoon swim and steam room session before walking down to the food stalls turns a single-purpose food trip into an actual short break. The rooms are straightforward but well equipped, and the Freeway No. 3 interchange nearby makes a morning in Taipei's Xinyi District an easy add-on rather than a detour. It reads more like a proper resort than the valley town's food-street reputation would suggest.
