If you are referring to Taipei, it is one of the few places like Hong Kong and Bangkok that ppl will always re-visits for food and shopping.

My recommendations:

Turku/Finland - Sokos Hamburger Bors (nice rest & bar at the lobby, one of the best place to get a raindeer steak) right smack in city center.

Oslo/Norway - Grand Hotel Oslo (very nice place for morning coffee + great service) walking distance to the docks with lots of nice rest. & bars.

Shanghai - Salvo Hotel (cheap and in good location)

Melbourne, Australia-Paramount Service Apartment
