    It is not very near any metro so, not so suitable for seniors with walking difficulties.

    Location was excellent. Not right in the middle of Ximengding so its not so crowded. Yet, it is near many good food and just a few minutes walk from XiMengDing main shopping district.

    Clothes hanging is very poor, a double beds room with only one single small rod for clothes hanging! Ideally, the room need one more rod if that’s the way to hang clothes

    No smoking area. You are staying at the roadside. A bit more comfort would be nice. I am thinking about a possibility to sit down on a table and drinking a coffee. The coffee for the breakfast is really bad.

    Well located. Quiet but still close to Ximen quarter.

    The fact that EVERYONE had to check in at 3pm. Quite rigid rules. No leeway even to be able to check in half hour earlier

    Shower was spacious. Great bathroom design. Mirror above the bed was an added bonus! Lovely daily cleaning staff

    Nothing particularly, I just only got confused with payment and the self Check in part. 😅

    For me as a single female solo traveler this is a good location, I felt safe and the room interior layout was very nice, industrial style. Great internet to work. 💻 Just took a bus from airport, then train then use goggle map to walk there while sightseeing. 💕 Cost less than $260NTD= less than ₱500 pesos hehehe travel smart 🫶

    They were strict about check-in, despite the room being ready, and we had to wait until 3 pm. We opted to pay an extra fee for an early check-in as we were quite tired from arriving early. We noticed some noise from adjacent rooms, like someone taking a shower, and the room lacked soundproofing. Nevertheless, it was a minor inconvenience. Overall, we had a great stay.

    The hotel was conveniently located near Ximending market, offering a clean and pleasant ambiance. There were also shops and restaurants nearby, and we discovered a delightful breakfast place in close proximity. The room was both clean and spacious, with daily housekeeping provided. Overall, excellent value for money

    We 5 adult women stayed in one big room, It's good that they separate toilet and shower room but the shower room is too small and there is no clothes rack in the shower room. it's not convenient for us at all and we also needed more mirror in room for doing make-up and getting dress.

    Room is so spacious and beds are very very comfy. super clean and full of amenities. Awesome decoration and staffs were nice. Location is also good it's between 2 MRT stations (Ximen and Beimen) it's in walking distant with a lot of shops and food places so we don't mind walking around the area. Also the neighborhood is not too crowded but still lively and easy to go to other places.

    Location was great short walk to MRT stations, shopping, and food.. also a short bicycle ride to the riverfront. Room was good, but has no window, so keep that in mind. Also take note, that Included breakfast has Asian dishes, so don’t expect a western style offerings (and forks and knives).

    We were really disappointed at the fact that there was no window in our room. To make things worse, there wasn't even an air purifier!!!

    A very nice place close to Taipei Main Station and offering easy access to a lot of Taipei sites. Very friendly and helpful staff! Good breakfast!

    We picked a room which had no windows - but i think a lot of rooms in Taipei had no windows. Personally it felt a little claustrophobic to me, but it was managable.

    we enjoyed the location, which was close to restaurants and convenience stores. It was also clsoe tot he Ximening night markets and halal restaurants. The hotel was clean and had funky decorations in the room, lobby and other areas.

    Bathroom door was only a sliding glass door and a curtain - you could hear everything, so not ideal when traveling with a friend in my opinion. The wifi in the basement room was horrible, never really worked! Bathroom was really not all that clean…. Was okay for four days, would not stay again.

    Very good location, in the heart of Ximen and 15 minute walk to the Airport line. Staff provided us with second blanket on request and daily housekeeping.

    The size of the room is a bit small. Other than that, everything is fine.

    The location is convenient. Very close to night market. We checked in and immediately went to night market. Breakfast food variety is good. Everyone enjoys it. The decoration of the hotel is fantastic =)
