I think I am a fan of sister hotels Novotel and Ibis (both are members of the huge Accor Hotels). These hotels as much as possible has always been my go-to hotels each time I am out of the country. It is proved by the numerous posts I had about Novotel and Ibis. This has been the hotel I stayed at when I was in Casablanca, in Bangkok, Singapore, Melbourne and last year in Zona Rosa, Mexico.
The latest room I had with this sister hotels is the one in Taoyuan, Taipei, Taiwan. And after having been so impressed, and though considered mid-scale and budget types of accommodation, I can truly say that Novotel and Ibis has been my favorite.

While on transit and on my way to New York, I chose to stay for a day and an overnight in Taipei. I initially planned to revisit the city of Taipei while on a stopover but because of the amazing facilities and amenities of Novotel in in this part of Asia, I chose not to roam the streets of Taipei and instead stayed within the confines of the amazing hotel!
Novotel in Taipei is a huge airport hotel with free airport shuttle! It offers great buffet breakfast selection which is typical of a Novotel. And it was my first time to use the gym facilities of a Novotel, which actually is huge and is so complete based on my typical gym routine. At dinner time, I rested my gut from ketosis and ordered the classic Taiwanese Beef Soup Noodle.

Bitin is a Tagalog word for “wanting more”… and that was my general feeling when I left Novotel, Taipei. Not because they have less but because it has so much that I wanted to stay more. I will definitely book my future stays in a Novotel…
Ay hart Nobotel…
