Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests generally appreciated the hotel's excellent location near Ximending and convenient access to public transport and shopping areas. Many reviews highlighted the cleanliness of the rooms and the comfort of the beds. However, there were consistent complaints about unfriendly staff, poor service, and issues with breakfast quality. Some guests found the basement rooms dark and the overall room size small but adequate. Despite some negative feedback on service and breakfast, the hotel's location and room comfort were strong positives for most guests.

It is good value for money, particularly during Pride weekend in Taipei. Personally, I’d probably give it a miss next time as I felt a little claustrophobic at times. Great breakfast.
