My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room was spacious with a cozy separate living room, but it felt a bit old, especially the bathroom and carpet. The service was excellent, with very courteous staff at the check-in counter. The location was great, right next to the subway station for convenient travel, but there were some issues with daily necessities like tissue not being refilled. The dining experience was enjoyable with good choices, but could be improved compared to how the hotel presents itself. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were super clean and spacious, but the atmosphere was really cold, smallish, dark, and had a strong smell of mold, making it quite stuffy. The service was extremely attentive, with friendly staff offering 24hr check-in and a thoughtful entry basket with snacks. The location was very convenient, centrally located with an MRT station nearby and surrounded by plenty of dining and shopping options. As for dining, the options were average, with some hits and misses. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were rather cold, smelled a bit moldy, and were old, small, and not too clean. On the upside, they provided fresh fruit and teas, which was a nice touch. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch. The staff provided excellent service and were absolutely amazing in every way, making it worth every penny. The location was very convenient, only a minute's walk to the subway and downtown area, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. When it comes to dining, it was decent but not too impressive considering the price. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is conveniently located next to a subway station, making it easy to get around. The staff is super nice and helpful, even going out of their way to assist with lost items. The rooms, however, were a bit small and faced the main street, letting in some noise. The smell of mold and stuffiness was noticeable.

The hotel's location is its best feature, great for exploring Taipei, but it badly needs upgrading. The rooms are very basic, slightly worn but otherwise clean and comfortable. The service from the friendly staff is a plus, especially Kevin at Conierge and Angelina at Front Desk, though they asked me to wait outside. The dining options were limited in quality, except for a delicious yam porridge nearby. The facilities are average.
