My room size was Okay. But one of the walls had molds all over. They had to cover it up with plastic sheeting. Also the bathroom curtain had molds. The front desk was unhelpful. Not so good experience with this hotel.

Difficult parking and not accurate information
The people from the reception don't speak too much English and we're not very happy when we told them that we need to park our rental car, even though we told them a couple of times before our arrival. On the website it says that there is a parking available and this is the main reason why we book this hotel, however, the parking isn't in the premises. You have to drive 2-3 blocks away, which is extremely stresfull if you're driving in Taipei. The elevator of the parking is extremely tight and it's extremely difficult to park the car if you don't have a copilot supporting you. The room wasn't very clear. The only thing we like about the hotel was the location and that they have a storage room for your bags.

We stayed for four days here. Perfect location for all amenities. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. We didn’t stay for breakfast so can’t comment on that but the area for dining was very small.

Great location, good housekeeping but breakfast was not great. Only 3 tables to sit at and I don’t enjoy standing up to eat. Not enough space and food very average - toast and buns, ham boiled egg and sausage. We decided to miss breakfast 2 mornings out of 5 even though we had paid for it.

A no-frills business hotel in Ximen in short. Location and price is the prime attraction of this property. Despite the appearance of the dilapidated building, the room interior is better than expected and the bathroom is modern and nicely renovated. Cleanliness is generally observed but for those who have low tolerance to unclean elements, this place might not meet your expectation. Breakfast is inadequate, with only toast, buns and some wieners and ham, but it should not be a big deal, since all kinds of breakfast items are available in the neighborhood. Internet is usable but not great for intensive usage. For frequent travelers who just need a bed and a private space, this place will do.

The hotel is located in the heart of Ximending with convenient access to shopping and restaurants. However, the room I stayed was old and in desperate need of renovation. The staff was helpful. The breakfast was less than desirable. For those who only need a place to sleep after shopping and sightseeing, this property is adequate. You get what you pay for.

Will think twice before staying next time
Good location, situated about 5 mins walk away from Ximen Exit 6. However, the cleanliness level needs improvement. The washed sheets had hairs of other people on them, and the housekeeping auntie was unhappy about our request to change another set (which eventually still had some fine hair on them). The room had cigarette smell when we entered. It is also very dusty. The toilet was the most pleasant, but it will be hard for tall people to stand and shower in the bath tub as the celling is quite short. My partner is 192cm and he almost hit the celling when standing on the bathtub. Breakfast wise was decent with steamed buns, ham and chicken frank, braised egg etc. Service from reception was ok.

Location is the best, in the middle of Xi men ting area. Lots of restaurants downstairs. The downside is the room we got, has minimum or near no sunlight. Also the room is quite small though. Overall, we liked the location. Much easier quicker access than the big hotels.

Poor & Bad service
I booked 3 nights, first night was a dissapointed day. We were arranged in a very messy floor. This floor are mostly occupied by permanant tenants. The whole floor was smoky wt cigarettes smell & was very dirty. The room they arranged for us the door knob at the grill was not working. The next day they changed us to a proper hotel floor. The room was better than the first night but unfortunately they use the room balcony as their storage area. They hv standing fan, table fan & tones of mineral water. The workers hv access to come in to do storage during day time. The front dest are not helpful.

I walked in and it immediately smelled bad. There was excrement from the little flies all over the shower curtain. There was hair in the tub. When I got there, I noticed before going up there was male sauna (seedy) located in the same building. The location is great, but not my cup of tea.

I really want to like this Hotel
Check in: Found the room in the picture was not the room I paid for, so they say. But I could pay an extra 1600 NT$ for the other room. I declined. The room I had was ok, but window view was uhh building 5ft away. Yes dark and dirty view, so the curtains remained closed! The shower was amazing with great pressure and lasting hot water. And oh, wait for it, I could flush my toilet paper! Those who've stayed in other places will know what I'm referring to. After 2 days of a 7 day stay they recognized our longstay and offer us a room with a view. Low and behold its the room in the picture. It had a view of 101 building and a balcony. But this room had a bathtub/shower combo. I preferred the shower, more room and my head wasn't 4" from ceiling. The bed in this room for some reason seemed smaller. Both rooms were quiet which was the great plus for this hotel. Overall it was clean but noticed on third day that they hadn't change the sheets in the 2nd room and it a day left it wasn't worth my time asking but did notice. So make sure if thats something that will bother you to ask. I just assumed they would change after a couple of days. Breakfast wasn't much and I wasn't expecting it to be so it was OK. Now my biggest disappointment was no iron, even upon request. Laundry was pay coin machines a block away.

A room and a wall
Great location, just a few minutes walk to train stations. The hotel is located at one floor of a building and it is accessible by elevators. The hotel has many rooms but my room was the only one with a window facing the wall of another building. I could not see day light and had no sense of dark or bright outside, it created a sense of phobia. The breakfast was plain and simple, can't expect much. Helpful and friendly staff. It was a decent place except for the wall.
