Hotel dekat Zhongshan Linear Park, Taipei

Very good location close to the red subway line, night markets, temples, restaurant and many local attractions. Good service and good value for money. Bottled water, tea, mugs, cups, biscuits and a kettle in each room. Very complex (and nice) lighting system :-) Nice small lamps and a chaise longue near the bed ! Shower & bathtub & Japanese toilets in the lavatory!

The location is great and within walking distance to the Shuanglian Metro station. Also, the staff is friendly and very approachable. However, there are some problems with the facilities of the hotel. Firstly, the hot water tap at the washing basin is faulty. The receptionist told us they had it fixed but the issue is not completely fixed, sometimes, the water is still cold even when we tried to set the temperature to a warmer one. This is bad because we went during the period when the weather is cold. Next, the facilities might not be in the best condition. One of the shower facility was not secured properly (see photo) and dropped when we tried to use it. Luckily, it did not hurt anyone and they had promptly fixed the issue. Also, the air-con has a remote control but we were told we cannot control the temperature at all since it is using a centralised cooling system, which defeats the point of having a remote control. This is bad because the weather is cold and the room is even colder, making it very uncomfortable. We had to switch on and off to manually tune the temperature. Lastly, the curtains are not able to block out the lights completely. Many times, we woke up due to the light from outside... As seen, the staff were friendly but the facilities are extremely poor. We are not really satisifed with the facilities from the hotel.

Location was the better one with cheaper pricing. About 5 or 10mins walk from hotel to shuanglian. Reach the hotel, there was no one attending at the counter and was a self checkin machine. Easy checkin and you get the room card. Room was clean and tidy. Room size acceptable, can place 3 of my luggages. Big bath room, just that the water temp was either too hot or too cold. Have to toggle between the 2 shower heads. Initially i planned to deposit my luggage on the last day as i had a late flight that day. But there was no one attending to the counter. Theres a number to add in line app, so i chatted with the person. Was asked to place the luggage behind the counter at my own risk. Which i dont really like this idea. Should have stated in the website in the first place. I still left my luggage there for about 3 hrs, nothing was missing but initially i planned to pickup much later. But since no one was attending to my luggages i went back to collect early. Side note, this hotel is also open for short term stay for people to wish to 'stay' for a few hours. Overall, still clean and acceptable price. Other than, the luggage deposit portion.

It's great. You feel very warm as soon as you enter the door. It's a completely smoke-free environment, which makes people feel more comfortable. There is a dehumidifier in the room, so there is no damp smell. The owner will turn on the dehumidifier before check-in, which is really considerate.

Wonderful stay with very neat environment I went during xmas and the hotel was well decorated with a big xmas tree and Santa Clause to take photos with Restaurants in hotel are also fantastic except they are quite fully booked In general, we would love to return to the hotel next time

Love the personal sauna in my room, especially since it was winter. Enjoyed the deep Japanese style bath and the heated toilet bowl cover with bidet spray.  At the basement, one can find free-flow drinks, massage chair, board games, computer game and exercise equipment.  Many good food eateries can be found around the hotel, especially near the metro station.  Only area of improvement is the housekeeping, wish they are more thorough in this area.

The hotel's living functions are very good. There is a family downstairs on the left, and there are a lot of food on the opposite side. The room is very clean and tidy, and the service attitude at the front desk is very good.

Very nice and friendly hostel. Well furnished dormitory and very nice common area with small kitchen. Bike friendly. Had a good stay there!

it is a very outdated hotel to be considered 5 star. felt more like an average 4 star hotel. I guess its close proximity to Taipei main station gave it its legacy 5 star rating. also credits to housekeeping for regular daily cleaning of room. downsides: double bed was queen size. was really expecting a king size for a 5 star hotel. headboard above bed was extremely dusty to the touch, and led lights tend to flicker randomly. bathtub + shower is an outdated concept, small shower area to stand in the bathtub is so uncomfortable. furnishing generally looks outdated. worst of all, when all lights are switched off, only a creepy red light (probably from the smoke detector) remains lit right in front of the mirror facing the bed. makes you feel like something gonna jump out from the mirror. horrible experience. you're better off paying a similar price by finding a 4 star hotel which is 2-3 stops away from Taipei main station, potentially bigger rooms, a more comfortable bed and newer fittings.

This hotel is unique. It has history, a stunning composure,overwhelming entrance and could not be missed. The balcony is huge. The hotel corridors are wide, yet the room size is not overwhelmingly big. Despite the hisotry, the hotel has been well kept . Go visit the souvenir shop on the ground level next to the reception, you will find something unusual to bring home. .
