    Incredibly kind staff! 10/10 on the service
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Superior Double Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The floor right beneath mine (I stayed on the 5th floor) was a hair salon and quite late into the night was a consistent loud banging. Though I have a high tolerance to noises, the banging noise from the floor below was quite irritating especially since it was very loud and happened right into the night. After calling the lovely staff at reception, they were very apologetic to inform us that the hair salon stays open until 12-1am on Fridays. Other than that, there were random points in the morning where I would hear loud bangs on the walls and of course since the rooms have no windows I would advise setting an alarm for the days you need to be up early. Some spots in the room could've done with a bit more cleaning but other than that, amenities were changed daily for me and I enjoyed the comfiness of the bed.

    The staff both at the reception aswell as the cleaning staff were incredibly nice. The location of the hotel is also very convenient and whether it is a train station you need to get to, food spots you want to try or just to do lots of shopping, this place is probably somewhere you should consider. Daily cleaning of the room if needed and as a solo female traveller I felt very safe at all times of the day both leaving and coming back to the hotel - mainly because to use the elevator you needed a key card. My main standout though would have to be the people who work at this hotel. No matter what questions I had or my few requests, they were very accommodating and made my stay in Taipei one to remember.

    The building’s fire alarm went off twice on different nights. We feel bad for the hotel staff but they really should get that fixed.

    The location is excellent. It’s in the middle of Ximending. Lots of choices for food and places to go to.

    You will need to take a lift up in a building to the restaurant where the lobby is. Staff was flexible and helped me with changing my accommodations, as i had faced typhoon kong rey when i was there. It was situated in the heart of Ximending, and with Don Don Donki just nearby. So it is a heaven for shoppaholics. Rooms are okay for the price we paid. Not very big, but it was also a cheap price, so dont expect the world. Able to sleep in, anyways we would have been out the entire day had it not been the typhoon.

    - Not exactly a proper hotel with facilities/ amenities but good enough for a short stay and on a budget. - the rooms are not soundproof, can hear someone snoring at the adjacent room and someone’s morning alarm clock.. - a bit dark interior deco though may appear trendy to some.

    Convenience, excellent location, very accomodating and helpful staff.. The reception desk is always manned which is important to visitors not familiar in the area.

    My room did not have any windows and the lack of natural light might not suit some travellers. I do believe there are rooms with windows. Not all lifts from the ground floor go to the rooms (as the building also is used for other purposes/businesses like a chilli hot pot place). Take the ones on your right or middle to go to the rooms.

    This hotel is very central and only 5 minutes walk to Ximen metro station and 20 mins walk to the taipei main station (A1 stop). Hotel staff was efficient including cleaning staff. The room size was good for a solo traveller or even for a couple. There is a safe in the room and a small fridge. Basic tea and coffee with a kettle. A clothes rack. A sofa and small table. The bed was comfortable enough. Bathroom was adequate size with fast to come on hot shower. Basic toiletries provided like toothbrush and paste, shower gel etc.

    Thin walls, our room was at the end of the hall and the noise from the construction outside was really loud. se can also hear the other rooms sometimes.

    location is at the center and very convenient place to stay. everything you need is right below. Near the station a few minutes walk also which makes it easy to go around and see Taipei. Staff was friendly and accommodating as well. the room is good and clean but a little small.
