It’s just one amazing place run by people who love what they do and it really feels that way. Could not have hoped for a better base form my Taipei adventure. Book it if you see any availability!

The OrigInn Space facilities were clean, comfortable, full of character, and very cozy. We loved playing jazz albums on the record player in our room to wake up in the morning and the additional touches (like the coffee packets with a lovely note on our door to welcome us, and earplugs to help us sleep as the building is quite old and lacks some soundproofing) made us feel very at home. The staff were kind and helpful especially when we needed to switch rooms (due to availability for our dates) outside of normal business hours. We hope to stay again in the near future!

The Originn is a beautiful place to stay. The building is full of character and the decoration is cool without being over the top. Love that they have records and books to borrow. It is very relaxing. The staff were super friendly and informative. Didn't know before hand that the bathroom is a short outside balcony walk from the room so not ideal if you need to get up during the night. Also I assume due to the age of the property the walls are super thin and you can clearly hear other guests' conversations. Overall excellent though and we will be staying here again. Thank you

Great spot, the area is filled with beautiful old buildings and cool bars. It close to the train station and a great night market. The place was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended staying here while in Taipei.

Thanks for your response. Because it's a historical building, the equipment like elevator is not provided. Also, the outdoor washroom is due to the pipelines of the old building. And we're sorry about the soundproof, perhaps next time you could choose the other room with no windows, it's much more quiet. Hope to see you next time when you visit Taipei! ^_^

Amazing little hotel in the heart of a historic district. The sense of style and aesthetic is amazing. Hands down my favorite hotel in Taipei now. The owner is amazingly gracious, offers up an amazing latte at the coffee shop on the first floor.

A slice of heaven for art and coffee lovers!
Located in a national register historic district, the Originn is an unique place to call home while in Taipei. We timed our stay to experience the full ambient of the Lunar New Year Pop-up Market at the Dihua Street which is only a few steps away. The market can be noisy until midnight during these weeks/month, but ear plugs are thoughtfully provided on bedside tables if needed. We choose to enjoy some great musics on the turntable equipped with high quality sound system. The building preservation and interior design are tastefully done with a cafe/design gift shop on the street level. Friendly baristas and hosts serving up top-notch hand-pour coffee and expresso drinks, complementary during your stay! Like many Taiwanese homes, there is a no-shoes rule for the guest living quarters on the 2nd & 3rd floors—A great way to keep the space spotlessly clean. We were very happy to have the 3rd floor penthouse with more than 1,200 sq.ft. to stretch out. The bathroom comes with a traditional micro-pebble deep soaking tub and amazing medicinal herb bath salt to melt the stress away. Although the bathroom is outside of the bedroom and about 30 feet away into the outdoor part of the corridor overlooking the charming courtyard, we thought it was a pleasant surprise. For quick washing and brushing, the in-room sink comes in handy. Our experience was truly delightful, we are already dreaming up the next visit in the near future!

Superb little gem!
Maybe one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. This unique hotel is every creative persons dream. They have great coffee and the shop looks stunning. As if you were living in the shop space. Have to say though, the room I stayed in was a little noisy from the outside traffic. But apart from that this is one of the best!

良い点としては、古き良き台北の建物、レコードを聴きながら過ごすゆっくりとした時間、センス抜群の部屋のインテリア、看板猫のOpan君でしょうか。 特に今回宿泊では夜に看板猫のOpan君が部屋を訪ねてきてくれて一緒に過ごせたので、それだけでほぼ満点です笑 (Opan君は寂しがりやなようなので、廊下で大声で鳴いた時に部屋のドアを開けてあげると結構な確率で訪ねてきてくれそうな感じでした) 悪い点というか要注意な点としては、窓の防音が脆弱、シャワーやトイレが共用、歯ブラシなどの一部アメ ニティがないこと。 ただ、一部に周知の事実も含まれていることから、そこら辺が気になる方は本ホテルは候補に入れてないはずなので、問題ないかと思います。 なお、今回利用した部屋は大通りに面した部屋でしたが、前述の通り窓の防音がかなり脆弱なため外の交通の音がかなり容赦無く入ってきました。(一応部屋には耳栓が置いてありました)

とてもよかったです! スタッフの女性は英語と少しの日本語を話してくれます。 天候がよければ桃園地下鉄台北駅から歩けます。 史跡なのでエレベーターやエスカレーターは勿論なく、階段は狭いし、バストイレはバルコニーの向こうで一度外に出なければいけませんが、そんなことはどうでもいいぐらい素晴らしいです。どうかこの場所に永遠にこのホテルがありますように。

暮らすように過ごせる素敵なゲストハウスです
2泊3日で滞在しました。オーナーさんが英語で丁寧に説明してくださるので、滞在中も安心して過ごせます。 台北駅から歩い10分程度、タクシーで5分程度なのでアクセスも良いです。チェックイン・チェックアウトの日は荷物を預かっていただけるので、身軽に迪化街や周辺を観光することができました。 宿泊した三樓後はトイレとお風呂がついているので、不便は特にありませんでした。とにかくお部屋のインテリアが素敵で、レコードも本もたくさんあるので、部屋でゆっくり過ごすのもおすすめです。 看板猫の歐胖(OPAN)くんが夜お部屋に来てくれることもあるようで、初日の夜は一緒に過ごすことができました。 台北の旅がより特別なものになる素敵なホテルです。

雖然3F前的房間較大又有黑膠唱片機 但房間外的浴室還是不方便一些 有機會二訪的話應該會選擇3F後的房間 建議房內小洗手台可鋪設吸水地墊 以及三樓公共空間放置飲水機 開車建議停塔城街停車場 夜間22~早7一小時$10
