How easy is it to get from CKS airport to downtown Taipei?

Q. I have to make a stopover in Taiwan, and I am trying to decide whether to stay at a hotel near the airport for convinience, or a cheaper place in the city. Also, if it is easy to get to the city, are there any cheap ($20 and less range) places that you can recommend?
How long does it take from the airport to the city? My morning flight is at 9, and I tend to move pretty slow in the morning

A. Quite easy!

The cheapest and easiest way is to just get the bus which costs around 100NT - 120NT. (3-4$)

The buses usually run every 30 - 45 mins.

It takes about 45 - 70 mins to get to the city center (well Taipei Main Station) depending on traffic.

The train is a little more expensive and in my opinion - less convenient.

Have a safe trip and a wonderful stay in Taipei!

Has anyone just showed up in taipei without hotel reservations?
Q. Did you use the airport's hotel reservation desk?

A. I've done it once a long time ago.

There are plenty of hotels around Taipei Station and Ximenting where you could get a room but you generally pay full rate for the room as a walk in client.

You have to be careful not to arrive during a major holiday period as there is a lot of domestic travel now a days and the Budget hotels get filled up.

The Hotel reservation desk here is not that hot.

Any recommendations for cheap and good hostels in Taipei?
Q. This will be my first trip to Taiwan. I am a college student in the United States, and am fluent in Mandarin Chinese so language is not a problem. I plan to visit for a week sometime after Christmas and over the New Year, and hope to catch the festive season celebrations. I would like some information about cheap and good hostels in Taipei, and how much I should budget for a week's holiday. Thanks!
