    Basic double room, just enough space for couple, stayed 3 nights, nil room attendance, nil towel replacement, awkward shower in bath tub with no screen/curtain, little natural light, great location near to MRT and night market, good WiFi, desk staff helpful and seemed like 24 hrs, thin walls but quietness respected.

    Room was a bit cramped, the tub was weirdly slanted and I had trouble getting the shower to work but it was perfectly fine for our last minute stay

    Was able to make a last minute booking and check in late after being scammed by another property. Very friendly front desk open 24/7. Comfortable bed

    Overpriced for what it was but all the hotels and dorms were overpriced due to holidays. Paid £75 for what was a £20 max room. I was shown an airless, practically windowless ( it had one but tiny no view ) room and asked for a change which they duly obliged. Place is in a ‘run down’ area very much a working place. I had to ask to find it it is tucked down an alley. Everything in the room seemed to work as I recall. Bed was very hard but not unduly uncomfortable.

    It is in a pretty good location a couple of minutes from the MRT and one of Teipei most beautiful temples. Also a lovely night market and it’s almost directly outside the front door.

    You have to drop the key off at the front desk when checking in/out. This is a bit annoying but not a huge deal.

    Solid location, right in Wnahua district nearby shops and snacks. The front desk workers were kind and the room was well-priced and well equipped.

    Great location near the night markets and Longshan temple. Hot shower. Nice staff and a few long term guests who are friendly.

    it could be on the shabby side due to the ill ventilation of my room. (not sure about other rooms).

    Quaint and stylish. The location on the night market of Huaxi Street of Wanhua is a wonder. Definitely a treat for 1960s pop lovers.

    The room was dirty, small, dark, moldy, with an unhealthy smell, and it felt claustrophobic. I wouldn't recommend to stay there, despite the competitive price.

    The location is not bad, near to several shops and relatively near to a metro station. The old style design of some parts of the hotel is charming. The wifi worked well, and so did the aircon.

    The shared bathroom can be a bit uncomfortable and result in waiting lines, but I never had to wait for too long to use it.

    The staff is really friendly and helpful, and the front desk is always open 24/7. I stayed in room 58 which is quiet small but I think it's just big enough for anyone who wants to travel alone and economically. The hotel is easy to spot and it's in the center of a lively neighborhood with lots of night markets, not far from the Longshan Temple, shopping areas and the city center in general.
