Decent Place, Frustrating Area
Overall pretty good. Pool needs modernization and paint work. Looks kind of run down. However, it was never busy and they have access to steam room and sauna. The gym was also very nice. Neighborhood is not so good and not very convenient with every place in the area not having English menus. Very frustrating to dine locally. Everything is very crowded. They do have a very convenient 7/11 on the first floor. Room was pretty nice. The buffet restaurant you could not even get in for dinner or lunch because I found out they require reservations days in advance. The restaurant should be for hotel guests only and should maybe think about time limits for diners so that hotel guests can actually use it.

Enjoyed the stay in this hotel. It is right opposite a bus station which takes you to places like Ximending and Shilin night market, and the MRT station is only a 5-minute walk away. There are multiple convenience stores nearby and there's a 7-Eleven downstairs as well. They have 2 ATMs in the hotel, however, they wouldn't recognise my foreign debit card, but Standard Chartered Bank was less than a 5-minute walk away. Breeze shopping mall was next door with lots of food options. We stayed in the premier room which is very spacious, clean and new. The bed was a bit hard to my liking, however, their wall plugs take international plugs and hence I did not need to use my travel adapter at all. They have a coffee machine, fridge and an air purifier in the room as well. The gym is well-equipped and clean. Special shoutout to the duty manager who remembers my birthday and delivered a delicious cake to my room, to my surprise. Will definitely stay in this hotel again on my next visit.

Hotel was overall great. Room was spacious, clean. The only thing is it’s not in a location like xinmending where you can just walk out to lots of eating and shopping options. It is however extremely close to multiple MRT stations and bus stops.

Great hotel, super large rooms with nice big beds for 4 adults. We loved the lighting in the room and how cozy it was to stay in the room after a long tiring day. Having laundry facilities on site was also a big. Inus. Super big hotel and we'll staffed.

Overall a very nice hotel, room was great, comfortable, and clean. The breakfast was OK, probably not worth $18, just my personal opinion. Location is good, close to train and bus stations. lots of places to eat around the hotel. Best of all, the price was very good. Great value.

First, the positive, the hotel staff was AMAZING!!! They were so friendly and helpful. The overall condition and appearance of the hotel was also good. The location was also great. Within 45 minutes walking of every major attraction. The pillows are also very comfortable Now, the not so good. The bed was rock hard. Seriously felt like i was laying on concrete. Also, there is a slight musty smell in certain areas, like its been constantly damp for some time. But this smell is not constant or intrusive. Laslty, the buffet is awful!!! The dinner buffet is ~31.00 pp and the selection of food is definitely not worth that. Nothing was really very hot and the items that were hot were not flavored or seasoned. The pictures of buffet display food that is not even offered.

Enjoyed our stay here - friendly staff, room with thoughtful light design options, clean, updated deco. Housekeeping staff was great. Family style room suited us. Main complaint is the requirement for swim caps at the pool. Also- pool is shallow, so even on a hot day, it will not be good to cool off in. Water machines close by for hot or cold water, self-service laundry machines in house, and 7-11 attached to hotel. Very convenient.

It’s a popular hotel for functions such as business meetings, weddings, sport association events… etc. We witnessed probably two weddings, countless business meetings, and most notably the wrestling association with athletes from all over the world. Even with all the events, our rooms stayed very quiet. The large lobby on first floor was nicely air conditioned with cool air. However, once you get into the elevator and any above levels, it was not conditioned until you enter a room. The laundry room and gym areas were air conditioned as well. It was hot in the elevators and walking through the long corridors to our hotel room. The hotel is situated with many breakfast restaurants nearby in walking distance. We didn’t see the appeal to pay more than $600NTD per person for breakfast when I can easily find something to fill ourselves for less than $100NTD per person. Also the 7-11 in the hotel is super convenient for quick drinks and made to eat food on the go. The buffet restaurant in the hotel offers the same selection at lunch and dinner, same prices too. We tried the dinner buffet one night and found it to be very enjoyable. Lots of seafood and variety of international cuisine. Thank goodness the restaurant was air conditioned even though it was open ceiling to above levels. We still felt relatively cool. The hotel staff seems to speak pretty good English. I didn’t have a problem since I can communicate in Mandarin.
