Property not as advertised. First this is not really a hotel but an inn. It occupies two floors in a Commercial building with two or three other “inns,” a medical clinic, and a Japan tourism company. Had I known this property was an inn, I would have never booked. I will say the highlight and saving grace for this accommodation is the location. It’s very convenient and less than half a block away from the Main Taipei Station. Plenty of restaurants and shopping steps away. McDonald’s is on the first floor of the adjacent building.
Now to discuss the room. There were obvious foundation issues as there were several long cracks on the ceilings. The bathroom had mold and in bad shape. Water would leak when showering even with the door closed. There is also a large step about 10 inches high to enter the bathroom. Definitely a trip hazard.
The room amenities were very minimal. No lotion, hair conditioner, and only a small above the fridge to hang your clothes. We ran out of toilet paper every other day and had to request more from the front desk. I also didn’t have enough towels and when I asked for two more body towels, the staff made a big deal about providing additional towels and wrote down the extra they gave me. Seems inventory is a very big deal to them. No iron in the room and had to borrow from front desk and was told there is only one steamer for the entire hotel so I needed to return in a few hours.
If you’re from the States, this place is equivalent to Motel 6.
