Location

Good. Friendly staff.

Quite old but ok big

We stayed here for 5 days on our visit inTaipei. This is an older but once Very Very fancy hotel and it showing it's age. Can use some up dating and upgrade. Comfortable king size bed. Location is awesome , only 2 blocks from the MRT and the Raohe night market. Room is spacious and we can see the Taipei 101 from our windows. Can't take a picture of the 101 because the windows hasn't been washed for many years. (Especially the outer layer.) Staffs were very friendly and helpful. It deserved a 3 stars rating but have to added one more stars for its convenience location.

I am a frequent business traveler to Taipei and here are my honest thoughts after staying at least 30+ different hotels in Taipei. 1) Staff is excellent - everyone of them! They are very polite, professional and helpful. I think they know the issues with the hotel and tries the best to offset that with kindness and I do appreciate that. The staff is the star here - no doubt about it. 2) This hotel's physical condition and hard products are not top notch. I was given a room initially that had a musky smell. I raised the concern and due to my long stay, they swapped me to a different room and it was much better. 3) There is a free Nescafe hot beverage station, frig full of chilled drinks and water, and baskets of snacks available for guests to enjoy. It's a great perk to have - I liked it more than I thought I would. 4) Public area, room and furnishing are dated but they do try to keep is as clean as possible. However, the limited wall power outlet is concerning for a business traveler like myself. The entire room has only 2 outlets for guest use and they are in the oddest location. I had to bring 2 extension cords from my office to keep my electronic devices running. 5) In room coffee/tea packs and water are replenished every day. The shampoo are body wash are really good - one of the best in Taipei. They have refreshing tea smell and moisturizing as well. Heck, event the soap is really good... Overall, good value for money if you can deal with some weaknesses

Excellent hotel for the price

Building a a little old but very clean and neat. Staffs were super friendly. Daily breakfast provided free are good and convenient for me before I headed out every morning. Coffee, hot water and water available are available at no charge too. I m a side sleeper. The only thing I wish was for a softer top beds. Very close to MRT, like one block away for me and bus stops are available. Taxi to the Bullet train station cost about $80 NTD. Front desk may order taxi for you if you request about 15 mins ahead.

Deco and furnishing seems old. Found a small cockroach in the bath room. Hotel location is good.. near night market, marts and Songshan train stations

Most of the sraffs were friendly except for one lady who brought room for missing shampoo and liquid soap. Carpet on the corridor looks old and producing unhealthy mold, or fungus smell bad which was not exciting. Bedding, water pressure were excellent that made me good n8ght sleep and location of the business is so good within foot distance to MRT subway station.

Most of the things are good. Very close to Raohe Street night market. The front desk guys are very nice and helpful. The room is spacious and clean. The only thing not satisfactory is the breakfast. Instead of buffet breakfast, the hotel provided boxed food which is hard to eat.
