My first trip to Taiwan, we are going to visit their night markets. Please provide hotel recommendations of night markets in Taipei, I know the most known is Shilin night market, if there’s any hotel nearby?
Actually Shilin is one of the night markets in Taipei, but it really is the most known one. I found this web site introducing information of Taiwan’s night markets http://tourguide.sinotour.com/nightmarket
The section “north Taiwan” shown 7 night markets, and also some recommended hotels on it.
The Grand Hotel http://grand-hotel.sinotour.com/ or Yo Chun Regency http://youspring.sinotour.com/ are good choices for their location, or you can stay at other hotels they recommend, depends on your travel plan, it is easy to reach Shilin night market by metro.

If this is your first trip to Taipei, Snake Alley is considered a must see. There is really good food in the hawker area one block farther along.
You don’t need a hotel close to there, because the Long Shan Temple subway stop is very close.
Long Shan Temple is a must-see, while you’re at it.

The better ones are :
Shihlin
Raohe St (My Fav)
Gongguan(small)
Shida(Food )
For Hotel: you did not mention budget. You can stay in any Hotel as the MRT system is good and can get you close to most NMs in Taipei city.
