Good location
Near to train station. Is abt 15mins walk to the main Zhong Xiao East road. Abt 20mins walk to Taipei101.
Lots of eateries near the hotel.
Room is spacious.
Service staff are friendly.
Breakfast is not fantastic. Maybe is due to the renovation. So is pre packed bfast and we only ate on the first morning and decided to eat out on the subsequent mornings.
Although location was great, the property itself was old and run down. The closet had a terrible smell, and everything felt a bit dirty and grimy. The lunch buffet no longer was in service (which they don’t let you know until after you book the hotel), and instead we got pre-boxed sandwich which was mediocre and bland. I would’ve rather stayed in a nicer and newer hotel further away that is cheaper
Location - good
Breakfast - lousy
Hotel - dated need to refurbish
Staff service - good except one bespectacled male staff on night shift
Value for $ - No . For the same amount of money, I rather stay at Brother Hotel, illumine Hotel or Ceasar Park Hotel.
It has as a luxurious and antique feel to it when you walk into the lobby. Very quiet and relaxing.
Deducted 1 rating because I felt like the AC was too strong. Some people say the AC is weak but I disagree. Even at the 25C and lowest fan speed I felt really chilly. Had to turn the AC completely off to let the temperature adjust to where I wanted it to be.
Overall a pleasant and affordable stay.
I only stayed there for one night, but I thought that the room was very nice and spacious, especially considering the price. The hotel is about a two minute walk from the MRT station and there are a few bars on the neighborhood and a McDonald's right down the street.
Great location about a 10-15 minute walk away from tower 101 Very kind and courteous staff that were very helpful. (All speak English) Plenty of restaurants in the area and very inexpensive. Highly recommend this place, I definitely would return

Dear guest
Thank you very much for visiting and share your pleasant experience with us.
We look forward to welcoming you back again in the near future soon.
Location was superb as we were there for countdown of 2019! We could see Taipei 101 just by walking slightly down the road without getting into the crowd. After that we just walk back to our hotel and sleep. Very convenient.
Hotel is a little old and rundown with a tinge of luxury left in it. Could tell that it used to be once glam and famous.
Cleanliness could do better as it was all dusty under the bed when we peeped down to fetch our kids' toy.
For the price the hotel was really good. The staff were really friendly, and let us check in early as soon as the rooms had been cleaned.
Well located only 15 minutes walk from Taipei 101, and close to several rail stations and decent restaurants.
A bargain, and would stay again

The location of the hotel is the best. It is close to Xinyi-Daishui Jieyun ( red line subway). The staff at hotel are very friendly. The room in the hotel is comfy and clean. We will stay there again if we go back to Taipei next time. We highly recommend this hotel!

The only thing I liked about this hotel was the close proximity to the MRT. The hotel is old and the shower didn’t drain. I told the staff about it and there was no improvement. Also, the AC is very weak — even set at 15 Celsius. For the price, it is ok but just know, the amenities and property is very old.

This is quite a nice hotel at a good price, offering a good, comfortable room in a good location within walking distance of Taipei 101 and the Xinyi-Anhe subway station (red line). I wasn’t as enamored with the room as on my last stay: this one had more modern decor whereas the last one had a really lovely old-style wood-panelled vibe, which I appreciated immensely. Perhaps that was a different room type. The food offered at breakfast, if you take it, is quite good, with the more local-flavored dishes being especially welcome.

Charming hotel was amazing! Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Breakfast buffet had a good variety. Our suitcases were brought up to our room even before we had returned to check in properly. Service was extremely prompt.

The musty smell is real. It is especially bad when you open the closet. Otherwise the hotel is fine, it’s close to Taipei 101 (<15 min walk), metro station (<5 min), and very easy to find a cab. The bed is comfy, sheets are clean, and the shower has good water pressure. My husband and I got a 2x twin bed room and that didn’t bother him (6’2”, 187 cm) . If you can overlook the smell, it’s worth it. Definitely can’t complain given the location and price.

Hotel staff were extremely helpful with giving assistance in our holiday planning, bridging the need for a mandarin speaker with some of our destinations, and helping us navigate Taiwan logistics.
Room was comfortable. Location convenient for the conference I was attending.

I stayed in Taipei for 4 days to attend a conference and I chose this hotel as its quite near the venue. The hotel looks quite small and antique but fortunately the rooms are quite big, comfortable and quiet. Unlike the other hotels, most visitors are for business thus very quite without kids or visitors yelling in the lobby or the cafeteria. The staff are really helpful.Furthermore, its only fews mins walking distance from the MTR station.This hotel would be one of my option in the future.

Old hotel, ok for just staying but nothing more
The hotel is very old compare to other boutique hotel in Taipei. Only advantage is that it is close to taipei 101 area. If you want low cost hotel around there it can be a choice. Only + is that there's a sauna in room, which is very rare

Good Value and Great Location
This hotel was exactly where we needed to be so the location couldn't have been better. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, and check in and check out were quick and easy. Nothing fancy, but we just needed a place to sleep and this place was perfect. Great shower, too!

Service is okay, overall experience not bad, but it's not up to my personal expectations and different from the pictures. But the whole place is clean rather than the environment and furnitures are old.

This hotel is a mid-priced hotel. The room is quite clean and comfortable. The bathroom has shower only, no bathtub. (I liked that way anyway.) The hotel entrance is small and not very noticeable from outside. However, the room is very decent with simple layout and soft tone décor.
Pros: good location, walking distance to subway station and Taipei 101, has lots of good eateries nearby and also a few convenient stores located within walking distance.
Cons: the hotel building and room all looks old and requires refurbishment. Housekeeping was terrible: they don't replenish the toiletries unless you request for it. Also never vacuum the floor and never wash any used cups/spoons/plates for you. Hotel staffs are also quite impatient and unfriendly.
Bad experience. The lift took me to level 11, door never open and after about 30s, the lift started to move down. Scared everyone screaming and worse the helped button wasn't working.
I had an amazing stay. The best part is that it is near the MRT station and the staff are very helpful. The room was kept clean and price is reasonable. I will certainly recommend this hotel.
