The room and shower are pretty clean, but the hallways feel a little filthy. The fragrance they use is very strong in the hallways. I had to hold my breaths. Laundry was easy, but the dryer took 3 runs to dry my clothes. I checked in late and the physical towels on the track were dirty (or stained) and wet. When I asked about new clean ones, the lady at the front desk said that's all they had left. However, I saw a cart full of bundled towels parked right outside of laundry room. 🤔 They do offer disposable towels and other amenities like shower cap, soap, tooth brushes, etc.

Cons: curtains were full of black moldy spots. I told the front desk. See if mgmt takes care of it if you get this room. There was a no venting in shower so not a surprise this happens. Mold is a serious health hazard though so mgmt please be responsible. It is a very tiny room. Not for people with more than carryon luggage.

We selected this hotel for the location. The staff were very helpful and the room was clean. We were on the 8th level and wifi reception was pathetic. Internet was slow and kept dropping out. The bed is on a lower level than the entrance and bathroom. You have to be careful you don't trip when visiting the toilet in the middle of the night. There is a permanent light at the step to help you. Thus the room is not dark at bedtime.
I am surprised that no reviews mentioned the poor wifi.

Even though I checked in past hours, the hotel was able to work out a quick and easy check in. They held my bags when I got an early start to the day. Biggest negative is the wifi.

Comfy and cosy

To find a bathtub in the bathroom and a gym in an inn setting is fairly awesome. Do take note that the inn is located within a shared building and the lobby is on the 5th floor just gotta take a lift up outside the entrance of Macdonald's downstairs (yes there is a 24 hour Macdonald's at the ground floor if you ever feel peckish. They do provide an adequate toast breakfast served with beverages and fruit in the morning so no worries on that end. The only downside i can think of is that the room layout was a bit narrow such that when i opened 1 of my suitcases fully there wasnt space enough to walk. Overall would recommend it for its value and location given its proximity to the Taipei main Station which is the main transport hub within the city and rail links to the airport and other cities in Taiwan.

Unfortunately, the gym was often used for luggage storage so I did not feel comfortable using it. Make sure that the hotel knows if you are more than one adult in a room (they tried to charge us extra at check-in for our room even though the reservation stated that we were two adults).
