Some noise are observed during crucial hours. There are some banging noises on the hallway. Some staff are not smiling and looks hard to approach. But we still had a good stay anyways.

A solid place to stay at budget cost. It’s around 10 min walk from bus and train stations. Quiet enough at night. Can borrow an umbrella for 500 NTD deposit each. No gym. Paid self service laundry. Free water refills at 2nd floor. Super close to Ximending, Red house and must try food gems!

10/10 stay!! we booked 2 rooms, one through agoda and one through klook. i got the king room through klook while i booked the twin room via agoda. the twin room was actually much more spacious than the king room! the only downside is there’s no bidet 😭 but honestly it didn’t bother us that much. still a 10/10 stay haha. they also let us store our luggage after check out since we had a red eye flight which was super helpful. my mom was too tired to keep exploring so she was able to relax in the lobby for a few hours after we checked out. we also freshened up before heading to the airport and used the lobby restroom which made the wait so much more comfortable. it’s around a 7-10 minute walk to ximending station and honestly we always enjoyed the walk from the hotel. the area feels safe, lively, and super convenient. would definitely stay here again 🤍
