Recent Review
I spent last night in Taipei Airport's Terminal 1 and really enjoyed it. I got in from Tokyo-Narita at about 8pm and checked in for my flight out the next morning right away, so I missed out on the showers and the tours...definitely wish I would have waited!
The airport was a great place to sleep, though. I know a lot of people have mentioned it's cold, but I wore shorts and a t-shirt and didn't have much trouble. There are huge couches everywhere; I'm 6' 8' and fit without a problem. I took a few hour's nap on one and then spent the rest of the night in the Christian (represent!) prayer room - you can turn off the lights, shut the door, and (I think) set the temperature to your liking. Everything shuts down around 11pm and opens at 6, so it's really quiet.
I hit up the massage chairs too and was very pleased. Get the tokens from the information kiosk before you go marching down the D row or you'll have to march all the way back if you want a massage. 20 minutes and it almost felt like a bit much.
Power can be hard to find, but I noticed a nice little spot on a pillar behind the museum on the 2nd floor that would probably be a great sleep/recharge spot. Also, the only working WiFi I found was on the 1st floor between the museum and the hotel. I think it was from one of the airline clubs.
All in all, this was a great night. Highly recommend it.
