The hotel offers a great buffet breakfast. It is near different forms of public transportation and landmarks. Unfortunately, the basement units don't have windows, and the plumbing can be noisy at times where I stayed.

Daniel

Disliked: Amenities
The property is very well located, close to all the fun at ximending. Unfortunately it does feel quite overpriced. The breakfast option was not great and did not change during my long stay, the cleaning staff is very kind but the hotel towels were not the greatest, some had holes, there's no body lotion or hair conditioner so bring your own. The room was great to sleep because it's very dark (they are windowless) and the AC works properly and can go very cold, the washroom in general is good, the shower was great, the water pressure and size allow a nice time, I just wish the room was bigger and had better lighting overall. Theres room for improvement for the current price.

Look location and valuable

Hotel location is good, nearby Ximen street. 10 mins walk to Taipei MRT and Ximen MRT. Overall is great great but the air cond is keep on 18-19 degree Celsius, try to adjust to 20+, but no effect. Breakfast is boring. I stay 6 nights, the cuisine is same on 6 days. The last but not least, I leave tips on coffee table or on pillow. The crew not take it.....

Unfriendly staff, poor quality sleep

Staff were unfriendly and unwelcoming at check-in. It seemed as if we were an inconvenience to her by seeking assistance with the do it yourself check in. The room was clean however the bed was VERY firm and uncomfortable. The air conditioning didn’t work very well and the toilet was leaking the entire night and making noises which resulted in a terrible night sleep.
