Great location and great staff. Hotel amenities are excellent. The rooms are the problem. Very small and the mattresses are uncomfortable to the point that you can’t get a good nights sleep.

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is accessible to MRT Ximen Station , short walk to the station and the hotel location is perfect for travelers, it's in Ximending Area, lot's of stores to explore if you want to shop around and they also have night markets in ximending. Rooms are clean and with strong internet access. Not a fancy hotel like Marriott but a good hotel to stay if you just need a place to rest, sleep and shower for daily activities in Taipei.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Lovely hotel, Rooms are a good size and great location. My only issue was the noise from other guests as there was constant slamming doors and talking loudly (walls are not sound proof). Take earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

6/10 Good

Location and room were good. Service somewhat lacked the usual Taiwanese warmth and hospitality which I was accustomed to. Nice to have steamboat for breakfast, especially in cold weather. Poor soundproofing was a major minus.
