I stayed at the Sheraton Taipei for one night in November 2007. I used a SPG50 and got a room for 5,400 NT (which was about $170 at the time). After taxes it was about $188 a night. Since I am SPG Gold, I received a modest upgrade to a club level room (I think it was on the 14th floor).

The room was spacious and very clean. The room and furniture looked new and well kept. I received complimentary bottles of water and fruit. There was also an assortment of coffee and tea to choose from that was also complimentary.

This hotel is much larger than the Westin Taipei, so I faced some crowds in the lobby. It looked much busier than the Westin. Fortunately there were a number of people working at the front desk and I was taken care of promptly. Every person I spoke was very warm and helpful. Some of the elevators are farther away from the front desk which was a minor inconvenience. There is a bar and restaurant in the lobby, but I did not visit it during my stay.

The location of the hotel is very convenient since the hotel is just outside of the Shandao Temple station on the Blue line. It was nice to be close the MRT and being able to access the rest of Taipei by train. There were a number of shops and restaurants nearby the hotel, but I didn’t get a chance to visit any.

To access the hotel from TPE airport, you can take a taxi for around 1,200 NT (about $37 at the time). It takes about 30-45 minutes to the airport from the hotel.

I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.
