It is horrible
It is the worst experience during my Taiwan trip. Here are the reasons: 1) The room is small and the furniture is dated 2) The varieties of breakfast buffet is very limited, and there are cockroaches on the dinning table!!!!!! 3) The gym is closed because the room is too hot to use (Located on the top floor) 4) The air-conditioning is broken down, so the inside is actually warmer than outside, and you are not allowed to open the window. 5) The computer in the business center is very slow.. 6) The currency exchange service is no longer available.

Good budget hotel, but you get what you pay for.
Looks like a very old hotel, looking at the conditions of the room. Smelled quite musty when I first arrived, but I was looking for budget, so it wasn't too bad. The air conditioner worked great, the bed was comfy and clean. There's a decent shower. The staff is very friendly. The buffet is decent, good for a budget (skip it otherwise). I didn't like the neighborhood. Not many restaurants it seemed, so had to walk to neighboring stations. Construction was right next door which starts early in the morning. One concern was the sign on the desk that asked for valuables to be kept in a safety box at the front desk. Does that mean your cleaning staff has sticky fingers? I kept the do not disturb sign on the door in case.

Good location on major street. Good price. The hotel room is a little dated, but overall good value for money. My hotel room rate came with breakfast included, which is served in the dining room in the basement of the hotel

Old, noisy and not comforting
I never give a bad rating, but this hotel is pretty awful. The staff is pretty nice and speaks decent English, but it doesn't make up for how bad this hotel is. The rooms are outdated with everything in it being probably 30 years old or so. The bed is hars as a rock. The rooms are pretty dirty with left over hair from who knows who. The walls are super thin so you hear noise throughout the night. The neighborhood is safe and centrally located, but nobody speaks English at pretty much any of the surrounding restaurants and shops. I was only here because of work, but would not want to stay here again. The fitness center is a joke with no AC and litteraly one treadmill and 1 bike that really don't work and are probably from the 90s. The breakfast included is pretty decent, but for the over priced room it doesn't make up for it. For how cheap food and everything is in Taipei this hotel should be about $29 a night. It is a joke this is listed as as 3-3.5 star hotel. I gave it 2 overal only because of the staff being pretty friendly for the most part and the location being well located and safe.

The hotel was located where we wanted to be and it was a pick up location for tours we booked. Since we were there during Chinese New Years celebrations some of the restaurants in the hotel were closed except for private parties.

Convinient location, staffs are very friendly.
The reason we stayed this hotel for 15 nights, due to my daughter had to stay this hotel for training class as an English teaching program with HESS, then this hotel's staffs were very helpful and friendly, therefore we stayed more nights after the training program. This is a 3 star hotel, at the very last time I had the free breakfast, I saw the hotel manager was at the breakfast area, she was checking the food service, I was going to approaching her to let her know about the breakfast menu, then I realized most of the customers they probably would like their food, but to western people or people like us(living USA more than 30 years, this kind of breakfast was not international enough.

Large hotel catering to tour groups
A larger hotel in central Taipei so be prepared to share it with many tour groups. There wasn't really a standout feature of this hotel other than the low price. Comfort-wise, it is an older hotel. I paid a little extra for an executive deluxe room but I'm pretty sure I got whatever their standard room is, which is to say it was very small; also the floor had a strange uneven divot under the carpet. The best thing that I can say about my stay is the bathroom was clean and practical, albeit small. The staff was helpful although not very friendly. The breakfast was okay but could have been better. If I had to do over again, I would pay a little more and stay at one or two of the other boutique hotels within a few blocks.
