I've stayed here 3-4 times for up to a week each time, 1/2 work and 1/2 play. Service occasionally spotty (e.g., one time had a prob with dvd player, which is very important for me and my work; doorman often absent or not paying attention). Rooms are small, but then so is the price. Furnishings all ok. Breakfast buffet ok, not great. But location is ideal: lots of late...

Well-designed hotel. The art installations found around the hotel were nice especially the one by Yu Fen-Wu. To be honest, every spot in the hotel is instagram worthy. As for the rooms, there were not big but thoughtfully designed. There is also a laundry room available but was not able to avail it. Maybe next time I visit. For the location, the hotel is located i...

I stayed in Room 810 for 5 nights. This corner room is especially big with plenty of windows and quite quiet. The setting of the room is similar to some 4.5 star hotels with seating area and big bathroom and bathtub. This room is definitely worth more stars than rated but of course, this is not a 5 star hotel especially the given price. The King size bed is defini...

We booked 3 nights double deluxe room with Taipei 101 view (spacious enough for 2). Very clean and modern room with friendly and helpful staff.
