Friendly and helpful staff, clean and cozy rooms with coin laundry services. Conveniently located near Taipei train station and ximen station for MRT and other longer distance trains. Reasonably priced. Will definitely book again! Also a cute bar downstairs with a good selection of beers.

Bed bugs or mites bit my wife all over her arms and body. After suffering for 2 nights, we decided to file a complaint. They gave us another room and it was a little better, but my wife still got bit. I can see their problems, that they are using wooden skids as a base of the beds. Bed bugs and mites are attracted to bare wood. The paint on the walls of the washroom was piling off. The elevator floor was very dirty. I took some photos of the rundown hotel for proof.

The rooms were bigger than what I was expecting based on the reviews. The interiors are awesome with all of the vintage stuff. Everything looks clean. There is a lot of space in the lobby too. The shower is perfect - water temp control to your liking, rain shower head with heavy water pressure. Complete toiletries including slippers that they change everytime the room is made up. Free breakfast is not bad. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.
