“Good location”

Booked a city double room - 1 queen sized bed and 2 pillows on the bed. Bed is soft so if you are easily awaken by your partner flipping in bed, suggest to opt for twin beds.

Booked a city double room - 1 queen sized bed and 2 pillows on the bed. Bed is soft so if you are easily awaken by your partner flipping in bed, suggest to opt for twin beds. Had to find space to fit two 28” luggages. No USB ports available in the room, so pls bring along a travel adapter to charge your devices. Basic amenities provided - toothbrush, shampoo, shower gel, shower cap, hairdryer, razor, cotton buds, towels, 2 bottles of water, kettle. Laundry room has 2 washing machines and 1 dryer and is only opened from 9am to 9pm probably cos it’s located together w the rooms at level 10. Cost NT50 to use each equipment so pls prepare some coins. Water dispenser (hot, cold, room temp) available at levels 3, 7 and 10 of the hotel. If u come via kmrt, nearest station is houyi. Nearest exit is exit 3 (only up-riding escalator & stairs). Elevator only available at exit 2 which isn’t that far off. One of the train exit leads to pxmart which is a well stock supermarket. There’s also a Watsons just beside pxmart. There’s also 7eleven, family mart, small eateries and a morning market all located within the hotel’s vicinity. Didn’t interact much with the service staff but they generally leave u alone unless u have a question for them.

The room is well furnished with a very comfortable bed. It was nice and clean, great shower with plenty of hot water and great cold air conditioning. However there is literally no room to put one suitcase. I was travelling with my partner and we had a case so we had to move both of our suitcases every time we entered or left the room. We had to leave them in the middle of the floor at night - one in front of the entrance door which actually made it a serious hazard if we had to leave due to a fire etc. I would not recommend this hotel for this reason alone. The free breakfast was not great to be honest. If you are western like me it’s sweet cereal or toast. For locals there is pork mince rice and some chicken backbone in a stew which did not look good and a few other things like porridge with pork floss. I really like Asian food and nothing appealed to me here. There was a few pieces of fruit as well like and apple or banana along with reconstituted orange juice and coffee from an automatic machine on the bench. We ate there once and that was enough in our 5 night stay.

“Good location, clean room”

Location is as convenient as you can get: close to subway (which is one stop away only from the train station), close to coffee shops, breakfast shops and being on a big road also to other places of interests. The room: pretty clean overall, everything functional, bathroom alright. The staff was helpful and nice. I guess due the pandemic, the hotel has installed automated check-in counters. Sadly, the system only accepts national IDs and passports, it doesn’t recognize the ARC, so if you are a foreigner who resides in Taiwan it makes it not very useful (dang!). That being said, some cons. I was a bit disappointed as the room was listed as ‘no view’ which I foolishly assumed it didn’t mean ‘no window’ but ‘window with no view’. But it turned out to be no window (aka a thick glass thing which can probably qualify as window but that cannot be opened and, of course as listed, with no view). Another bummer was the air conditioning vent right above the door which desperately needed some cleaning. Every time I would enter and turn the power on, the vent would cough down a cloud of dust/foam pieces which made the surface of the desk unusable. Grand finale: the cover of the card slot next to the door came out and fell on the floor right as I was about to check-out. So yeah, bits of flaws here and there but overall acceptable.

“Good for the price ”

I stayed two nights, average hotel some what small but enough. Service seems okay but the breakfast was just average. Parking is also somewhat difficult. I recommend staying at this hotel just dont expect much.
