    They only have air-conditioning in their rooms, no heating. I had to get a space heater from the front desk for heating.

    Close to Ding Tai Feng. There are two of them nearby. One down to the street in about 100 m. The other one across the street.

    The rooms are pretty small - not a lot of room for our luggage. It was also not the cleanest. There was also a bunch of hair left on the floor in the bathroom. I felt like I needed to wear my shoes in the bathroom because of it.

    The location was perfect for where we wanted to be. The Dongmen area is bustling with tons of shops and restaurants and the hotel is a very short walk away (3-5 mins).

    Room is small. We were mislead by the photos in Booking.com. And the soundproofing of the room is not good. We can hear the occupant of the other room talking. Also, the mattress was too soft for us and did give us a little bit of backache. And unfortunately, the room that was given to us is a windowed room and it's along the highway so it's very noisy in the morning. Bathroom is not clean. Molds are everywhere. And dusty too, including the room itself, even if upon our check-in.

    Location! A few stone away, there is Dongmen MRT which is along Tamsui–Xinyi line (Red line) - same line as Taipei Main Station, Shilin, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and Taipei 101–World Trade Center - which is very convenient for us. The place is very near to the first ever Din Tai Fung (and there's another Din Tai Fung going to Dongmen MRT, opposite side) and 15 mins walk to Shida Night Market. The hotel is surrounded by good places to eat and convenient stores as well. Wifi connection is very good. Ideal when working remotely while traveling. Most importantly, drinking water is infinite. Usually, when my wife and I travel, we buy drinking water to the grocery store as hotel drinking water is normally expensive. But ARK Hotel placed a refillable warm-hot-cold water station in the reception area which is what we appreciated the most. We only just need to refill our water bottles and save some NTDs.

    The decoration of the room is rather over simplified. Small improvement would be more impressive.

    As my room had a window there was some noise in the early morning hours (even though the window's soudproofing is excellent). That might disturb a light sleeper, but most of the days I didn't have any issues. The mattress was too soft for me and that did disturb my back a bit, however it is due to personal preference and custom. If I liked a soft mattress it would be the perfect bed to sleep in. The A/C controls could use a supplementary multilingual instruction, but fortunately my girlfirend is Taiwanese and managed to adjust it for us.

    The staff is very friendly, there is always water available and the room cleaning was always impeccable! The location is unbeatable, as the metro station that services the hotel is extremely close and very central to the city. The surrounding area also has all the amenities any traveller can ask for (convenience stores, Daan Park, Din Tai Fung...).

    the quilt is not nice, seems very old. And the staff is not helpful, refused to call or find a taxi for me, just telling me I didn't arrange in advance and so nothing he could do. I think this is not the way.

    I like the location, and is very close to subway station.
