Very Good

Staff were unfriendly and unwelcoming at check-in. It seemed as if we were an inconvenience to her by seeking assistance with the do it yourself check in.
The room was clean however the bed was VERY firm and uncomfortable. The air conditioning didn’t work very well and the toilet was leaking the entire night and making noises which resulted in a terrible night sleep.
This place is cheap. That’s about it. The staff at reception weren’t friendly. I would go as far as to say they were ignorant and arrogant. Not a smile in sight. Not helpful at all. My room was also in the basement so no windows or natural light. They didn’t mention this.

This hotel is non-smoking, however there was someone smoking, which resulted in odor and smoke in the hall way. The staff members were exceptionally kind and accommodating, and I appreciate their helps a lot.
Grossly overpriced for hotel room without a window and bed on timber pallet crates, cheap and sparse furniture and mould in the shower. Nice staff generally although would not stay there again at over HK$2500 a night!! Whilst midweek at around HK$600 seems more reasonable, the hotel cannot justify X4 the cost for an overpriced storage type hotel. Very disappointing.
The hotel offers a great buffet breakfast. It is near different forms of public transportation and landmarks. Unfortunately, the basement units don't have windows, and the plumbing can be noisy at times where I stayed.
This property was unique because the rooms don't have actual windows... which is both weird and unique. The inside of the hotels/walkways also look very industrial, like a warehouse which is a cool vibe. The beds however, are very short so if you are over 6ft tall, your feet will hang off the bed. The beds are also held up on pallets which is a cool vibe as well. The shower head was also very short so if you are over 6ft tall, squatting will need to be done. When it's the busy time, the hot water will also run out... shockingly. However, it is quite walkable to the MRT station and its located almost in the heart of Ximending so it's great all around for tourists. The people at the front desk are more than accommodating though which is awesome.
Walking distance to XiMen MRT station as well as XiMenDing shopping & entertainment district is a plus point. Room is spacious clean, however the wifi is weak & intermittent once away from the main lobby. So I have to get my work done & email sent at lobby in order not to use up my roaming data.
