Accessories sold separately. Hookup partner not included.

Some of them have accessories included or available from a vending machine inside the room or outside the room.
Or so Iāve heard.

Honestly thatās a great concept. When I was in Taipei I used to live and work in diametrically opposite locations with respect to the city center. If I had to go out at night after a dayās work, I could use a room for 2h just to take a shower, change with clothes I had brought, rest a bit and hit the night without wasting time commuting.
Hereās a few places I checked in that were comfy:
- ēåęå°ę åŗ between Fuzhong and Banqiao. Rooms are a bit small but itās clean and comfy.
- V-one Vogue Hotel near Dadaocheng. Not too close from any MRT station, but Dadaocheng is one of my favourite parts in town, great for romantic strolls and exploring the staircases of Ivy Palace before going back to do the deed. Pretty roomy.
- City Suites Beimen. North of Beimen MRT.
- VIP hotel near Zhongshan elementary MRT.
Just found these places browsing booking.com (donāt wanna sound like Iām pushing on that website, any hotel booking website can do really), I donāt remember a single time when the room pics didnāt represent reality. When the place was good I saved it on google maps for times of emergency (got traumatized by that one time in Japan when the girl was horny and we couldnāt find a single hotel within walking distance hahaha).

Itās cheaper with LGBT in Ximen tooā¦ just find a bath houseā¦
But there are many hostels that charge 300nt a day over there.
Slightly off topic but do people bone in the Qtimes?
As a rule, people bone everywhere.

Go a bit farther out the city and get one with a pool and a large bath tub. A lot more fun to be had.

As I understand it the love motels here arenāt really associated with sex tourism. Theyāre mostly for the hookups you canāt or donāt want to bring home for whatever reason. A lot of the younger generation still lives with their parents, so they generally end up necking in the dark at Da-an Park and/or going to a love motel. Itās also a convenient place to bring your mistress, of course.

There really isnāt any brothels in Taiwan. Some saunas that have these services and massage parlors. But Iāve never heard of any actual brothels. So I believe most sex work is done at love motels or just hotels that have 2-3 hour ä¼ęÆęæć
Sex work and sex tourism arenāt quite the same, though. I donāt think thereās near as much of an actual sex tourism āindustryā here as there is in the poor parts of southeast Asia.
What do you mean? Sex tourism is about sex work no?
I mean, Taiwan is kind of famous for love motels so I would assume thatās where people who come for sex tourism (no idea why anyone would pick Taiwan) would go?
But itās not like Japan where some places have a literal catalogue waiting for you.
Taiwan has a higher number of prostitutes as a percentage of population than Thailand. Itās just not so visible.

I think Japan is the one thatās more famous for love motels. I assume we just imported the concept. But in any case, I donāt think Taiwan is a hotspot for sex tourism specifically.
Interestingly, a lot of the sex workers I have seen āmarketing themselvesā here are Vietnamese.
It must be hidden really well if thereās as many as you say. I only ever actually saw sex workers in the red light district of Keelung. I see the middle-aged hostesses walking around in Taipei all the time, though. I donāt know if that counts.
Itās all done via the internet these days. Thereās almost zero actual street walking.
Also massage parlors, barber shops, saunas, spas, teahouses, coffee shops, piano bars, KTVs. And down south the girls are in the actual business hotels. As soon as you get in the room the front desk calls and says āyou want girl?ā.

Whats a piano bar?
Omg that reminds me, I have been seeing some mysterious pages pop up on instagram lately that appear to be run by pimps. Just images of stacks of money, expensive things, faceless women in sexy outfits with suggestive captionsā¦super weird.
Piano bar is like Karaoke but some guy plays the piano while you sing. Linsen N. Rd has a lot of them.
