    Have trouble opening the window. Not sure if it's safety proofed.

    Room is clean, location is great and staff is very helpful. My child had an online class that would finish at 1pm on the day we were checking out. When I asked if there is any area in lobby for my son to resume his class after checking out12pm, the front desk gentleman kindly offered us one hour extra time to check out.

    No power outlets in the waiting area so if you need to wait after checking out or even checking in, you have no access to charge your phones/tablets/labtop.

    Location is good, 2 blocks from Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT station and you can go pretty much anywhere from there. The kids love the buffet breakfast.

    Hotel is 10 mins walk from metro station. It’s 3 stops away from Taipei Main station; a bit complicated for first timers.

    The room is small and old. No outside window. The shower cabin is very small and leaking which make the bathroom floor wet. Humidity in the room, no towel will dry when hanging out. Dirty carpet on the floor.

    The swimming pool was good enough beds and shade. Fantastic breakfast with plenty of options for everyone.

    We had a large suite, so there was a lot of space. However, everything is very outdated. The hotel clearly needs a full renovation. I don’t think this can really qualify as a 5 star given the age of the rooms. I really did not like all the tiny plastic bottles of shampoos, shower gels etc. It is highly unsustainable, and again, very outdated compared to the other hotels we were staying at in Taipei which all had outfitted their toiletry offering to avoid throwaway containers.

    The gym was the best feature of the hotel: large and well equipped. However, it is not open until 6:30 am which is a little late if you have an early start to the day. The breakfast has a lot of variety to suit all tastes Eastern and Western. Definitely one of the best hotel breakfast buffets I’ve had recently.

    It is a bit dated in feel and decor but still felt comfortable and clean. The rooms looking inward are a bit weird. My kids liked the novelty but I’d recommend paying the extra money for an outside window.

    Very professional and helpful staff. Great facilities. The Buffett breakfast was an excellent international selection with a good range and excellent quality.

    When we came, there was an unpleasant smell in the room and some device plugged, maybe to counteract that. After about a day the smell had disappeared and one day later the device was removed. Still I think, the hotel should do such operations without guests in the room.

    The hotel has free parking, which I find very remarkable in the center of a metropolitan area. The room had a view onto the lobby and breakfast area. In retrospect, I find that even better than a view outside where there is not so much to see.

    At the beginning after an exhausting travel and the waiting time till the check-in, we came to the room and the crib and potty were not prepared despite I asked for it in advance. Then everything was nice and smooth.

    Perfectly located hotel, nice, clean with kind staff. Very various and copious breakfast with fresh meals. Nice swimming pool.

    The hotel was nice and clean, and had a nice outside.pool. Breakfast was also good with a lot of choices. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Location was also okay, 15-20 minutes drive from the central main station.

    Staff will enter your room when you have the do not disturb sign turned on. This was also after leaving a note saying they did not come in and calling to make sure we didn’t need anything. (Which we didn’t answer because we didn’t get to the phone in time.) Also, poor communication during checkout causing my family to spend extra money on top of our stay. Instead of asking what currency my card is, they should have asked if it was an international card so I could avoid an 8% surcharge.

    The room was comfortable. My children enjoyed the breakfast buffet and the pool.

    The location for old people if we did not have our own transport.

    Rooms are conmortable. Breakfast is good. Location is slightly out of central, but it is alright for us as we have a coach to take us around. We enjoyed eating dinners at the restaurant serving Taiwanese cuisine.

    It's a grand old dame, quite well maintained but lacks certain software for present days requirements. There were just not enough electrical points in the room. Provided kettle and hairdryer but just not enough power points at strategic locations.
