Let's start with the fact that the photos they put up are deceiving. It wasn't exactly a true representation of the conditions of the room. I could tell the photos they had on the website were old from when they first opened but clearly the condition had since gone down.

The first night when we arrived, we had trouble entering the room because the lock had run out of battery. It took us 4 times back and forth from the room back down to their front desk to get things sorted out. They had to end up moving us to a different room since the lock wasn't opening.

The overall stay was uncomfortable and the moment we walked into the room it had a very musty smell. The room really wasn't meant to be for 3 people. Spaces were tight and there weren't much space to put luggages if you have 3 people. The beds were basically just on box springs and it'd move whenever you have bigger movements. The carpets were dirty and you'd have to wear the slippers provided.

For the bathroom, it's nice that they provided shampoo and body wash. However, the bottles had mold in them. There were no hooks in the bathroom to hang your towels.

The room lights were dim and the sound proof wasn't great whenever people walk past the room.

Overall, I would not recommend this hotel.

Pros:
Of all the places I stayed, this hotel stood out as my favorite. For a budget-friendly option, it felt surprisingly complete — carpeted flooring, good amenities, and a clean, comfortable room that was serviced daily. Housekeeping was consistently professional. I especially appreciated the thoughtful service: even when I only asked to have my bin emptied, the staff insisted on vacuuming the carpet and restocking the tea bags before leaving.

The location is also excellent — within walking distance of multiple MRT stations and surrounded by convenience stores. Very accessible and easy to get around.

Cons:
The hotel reception is located on Level 3 of a multi-storey building, and it wasn’t obvious at first. You’ll need to look up to spot the neon sign, then take an elevator to access the lobby. The property is surrounded by high-rises, so if you're hoping for a scenic view, you won't find it from the room — but the city views are all around you once you're out and about.
The towels provided can be a little overused — one even had a small hole — though I was personally fine with it. If you're particular about towel quality, you may consider bringing your own.

This is a budget-friendly hotel. It’s no ritz-Carlton but the staff are super friendly and accommodating. The amenities were plentiful, and the bed was nice and firm. The building itself is run-down and the hallways smell a bit musty but the rooms themselves are nice. I took one star away because the water pressure in the shower was abysmal. It drove me nuts every time I wanted to shower. Also, there are glass walls for the bathroom so if you’re not careful, everyone in the room can see you naked.

Decent and reliable basic hotel

I used to stay at this hotel frequently for my business trips and resumed again after the pandemic. This hotel is well-ran, it's very basic but the staff try to keep it very clean. The internet is reliable and there are plenty of eateries nearby. 2 things should be noted:
1) After pandemic, breakfast is no longer made onsite. They merely order breakfast from outside restaurants and pass on a fixed cost to you and the portion is small.
In my opinion, unless you are on business travel with tight schedule, it's not worth getting the breakfast option. There are Taiwanese breakfast restaurants just one block away, 7/11 with fresh coffee and pastry on the same block and a night market across the street. The ordered breakfast is only average quality and taste.
2) Probably because of inflation, the room rates have gone up a lot for this property compare to its competitors. I do not think it provides a good value on most days. It's a solid basic hotel but the 'CP value\" as Taiwanese would call it, is below average nowadays.

Very bad odour in fourth room, especially after shower, stink toilet smells from the drain spreading all over the room.

Stay somewhere else

This is easily the worst place we have ever stayed and to qualify that statement we have stayed in some pretty odd places worldwide and are avid campers. I hate to give a poor review but this place didn't have anything good about it except its location was convenient to public transportation. It's really just a few floors of a multi use building. The entire place was very dirty. The laundry room was a nice facility to have but the washer was moldy and the dryer hardly worked. The bathroom was the worst- it smelled horrible and the window in that room doesn't open. The hotel was advertised to have an arcade/game room but it didn't, the staff were very confused when we asked about it. When we showed them the amenities listing they just seemed annoyed and kept saying there was no arcade. I also read about free snacks and drinks- there was one ancient looking juice machine that had two types of sugary drinks with some dirty cups so I guess at least the drinks part is true. We had beg for 1 extra pillow and blanket which the staff made us feel like it was a big favor to provide. There was a constant buzzing noise on and off all night long which was very unsettling as it sounded like wiring in the walls making us worry about a potential electrical fire. We didn't cause a scene and fight to be refunded as we chose a nonrefundable deal but this hotel stay really soured out view of Taipei. I would expect this place to be much cheaper based on its lack of cleanliness and amenities.

If you’ve ever stayed in a holiday inn express in the U.S., this hotel is basically there in quality. It’s not bad by any means, but it’s not the hilton. If you’re looking for a place that has helpful/friendly staff, transportation ease of accessibility, and an affordable price, then this is it. Our room had some cosmetic wear and tear that was obvious, but again, we’re shooting for the affordable that isn’t a motel 6. I’d recommend for anyone who’s looking for the above things and don’t have their expressions set to hilton/marriott status.

I’ve stayed here a few times. I like the unlimited soft drinks and coffee. Rooms are generally clean and staff is super friendly. Reasonably located between two major MRT stops and less than 10 min on the MRT to Songshan airport.
However, every time I’ve stayed in this hotel, the shower water doesn’t drain. I’m sure there’s a bigger plumbing problem that’s not being addressed, but it’s really gross to stand in ankle deep water while you shower. Also, despite being a fully nonsmoking hotel, there is always the stench of cigarette smoke. A lack of smoke dectors makes it easy for any guest to ignore this rule and get away with it. I hate to say this is a really unfortunate and frustrating thing about a lot of Taiwanese hotels...the management really doesn’t care and not enough people pitch a fit about it for them to even think of doing something about it. ARK hotel, please fix your plumbing and actually fine guests, per the signs you have up everywhere, who smoke in your hotel

Staff were friendly but they don't go the extra mile to accommodate small requests which was disappointing. Our trip got extended, and they confirmed they still have a lot of vacancies for that night so we decided to stay in the same hotel to save us the hassle of having to m. But they said they couldn't assign us to the same room!
