There is no universal winner
Taipei Main Station and Ximending should be compared by the actual trip, not by a generic label. Start with the airport connection and the three visits that matter most to you.
Run the same checks for both
For each candidate address, check the current Taoyuan Metro route, the route to the confirmed visits and the final walk. Use Taiwan's official tourism guide for orientation and the railway operator for live service information.
Verify the property separately
An area comparison cannot confirm a hotel's price, room, accessibility, cancellation policy, luggage storage or late check-in. Confirm those details with the exact property or authorised seller.
