Experience of the stay
To be honest, after living in Taiwan for so many years, it’s definitely not my first time staying in Taipei.
But this time, I chose HOTEL COZZI Minsheng Taipei because I needed a hotel that didn’t feel like I was in a hotel.
Not noisy, not extravagant; I didn’t want to line up for lots of facilities or activities—I just wanted to sleep well and wake up well.
The hotel is located near the Minsheng community, where the streets are quieter than Xinyi and Eastern District, frequented by early morning joggers, older men slowly cycling, and hidden bakeries and cafes in the alleys.
Walking into COZZI, the space isn’t heavily decorated, and the rooms continue this minimalist design with wooden walls and light beige tones; there’s no strong visual focus, just enough to help you "quiet down."
The bed is incredibly comfortable, the kind that’s soft yet supportive, giving you a feeling of being enveloped, combined with the lighting and air conditioning, it’s a complete reset.
Experiences during the trip
I didn’t plan much of an itinerary; I simply opened the map and went to that brunch place I had always wanted to visit: The Antipodean Taipei.
Tucked away in a spacious alley of the Minsheng neighborhood, the entrance is filled with sunlight and greenery, and the entire place feels like a memory warmed by the sun.
Inside, the space is very white, clean, and bright. There is no loud music, just a few people talking quietly, the sound of a coffee machine operating, and staff in aprons moving about.
The toast is perfectly crispy, and they have my favorite hash browns.
I sat alone by the window, watching dogs, mailmen, and parents with children passing by, taking in the slow unfolding of the day.
Halfway through my meal, I suddenly realized: it was my first time in a brunch place in Taipei without thinking about taking pictures or scrolling through my phone.
I was just eating, drinking coffee, and sitting quietly.
