My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, but there was a slight sour smell in the air. The service was a mix of grumpy and helpful staff. The location was convenient, though not as close to the subway station as I had hoped. The dining options were varied, with a good selection of dishes, but the lounge and air conditioning could have been better.

The hotel is conveniently located in Central Taipei with easy access to major MRT stations and a variety of coffee shops and brunch places nearby. The rooms are spacious, with excellent bathrooms, but face a main street, including the Metro line. The dining options are varied, with both Asian and Western foods available, though the breakfast area can get crowded. The service is overall polite and helpful, although the staff may lack a proactive approach. An excellent choice for those seeking certainty and a central area stay.
