I had a surprisingly quiet stay at the hotel, considering how close we were to the late-night action. The rooms were not soundproof but in good condition, clean, and allowed for a relaxing time at the bar. However, the dining experience was very simple, with the same offerings every day.

The hotel is situated right in the heart of Ximending, making it ideal for those who want to be in the middle of the action. The rooms, although smaller than expected, are functional and equipped with all the essentials. The service is exceptionally friendly and helpful, with staff always ready to offer advice on exploring Taipei. However, the dining options could be more varied, and for those seeking a larger bed or a window view, this might not be the best choice.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were surprisingly quiet, which was great, except for ones without windows. However, the noise from upstairs disrupted my husband's sleep throughout our 5-night stay. The location was wonderful, right in the heart of lively Ximending, perfect for those who enjoy being in the middle of the crowd. The dining experience was not very satisfactory, so I would recommend exploring other options nearby.

The hotel offers lovely rooms that are spacious enough for two people but lack storage space; the service is extremely friendly yet their guidance to the MRT station needs improvement. The location is comfortable but a bit far from the train station, though the lobby entertainment is inviting. The dining experience is basic and can be enhanced. Overall, a good value for money stay.
