Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Whilst I understood the basement rooms would not have windows, I was expecting the lights in those rooms to be better than they turned out being; not that I wanted to stay in the room all holiday but it was very hard to see in the room or use the mirrors to get ready to go out. The breakfast buffet was great. The automated check in and out though made the experiance feel impersonal.

First time staying. Room and toilet are acceptable based on the price paid. Room was clean. Lift need cleaning. They have washing machine and dryer. Breakfast was different but service can be better.

An interestingly designed hotel in an excellent ar

The best thing about this place is its location. Ximen is a bustling shopping district, and my favorite part of Taipei. This hotel is located right in the middle of it, within walking distance of most of what you'll need in Taipei. The room itself had an interesting design but no windows. I think most rooms in this hotel have no windows. The internet is also weak for some reason, both the room wifi and my mobile data. For some reason there was bad reception throughout my stay. Other than that, it has the usual ammenties of any hotel and a bar fownstairs for guests.

Disliked: Amenities
The property is very well located, close to all the fun at ximending. Unfortunately it does feel quite overpriced. The breakfast option was not great and did not change during my long stay, the cleaning staff is very kind but the hotel towels were not the greatest, some had holes, there's no body lotion or hair conditioner so bring your own. The room was great to sleep because it's very dark (they are windowless) and the AC works properly and can go very cold, the washroom in general is good, the shower was great, the water pressure and size allow a nice time, I just wish the room was bigger and had better lighting overall. Theres room for improvement for the current price.
