Second time stayed at this place. We had a different type of guest room for 4 travelers. Room was spacious enough to accommodate 4 adults and luggages. The room is clean and I think they have added more hooks and shelves for putting small things around the room.

The hotel is conveniently located right next to Taipei Main Station. I stayed in an 8-person shared room for a few hours due to a flight delay. However, if you are a light sleeper or have never stayed in a dormitory before, I would advise against the shared rooms. Guests come and go at different times, which can make it difficult to get any sleep.

In addition to being very clean, spacious, centrally located, vouchers are provided in lieu of breakfast to redeem from their partner eateries in the area. We thought of the vouchers as a brilliant idea. It eliminates the onset of boredom of same breakfast on your second morning. It added excitement to your day because of the variety served by the different partners from breakfast to lunch and Taiwanese dessert. Definitely a repeater when in Taipei again!

Staff were friendly and helpful, and the interior was new and comfortable. The common area is quite nice for hanging out/relaxing, and seems like it would serve for getting work done, too. Shower room is shared among all genders, although I noted that there was a women-only shower on the floor below, which would be good for those who want that. The storage space was on the smaller side, which was my main complaint.

Stayed here previously a few years ago and liked enough to stay again this trip. Spacious without feeling cramped but definitely need to take turns opening luggages when staying with friends (at least in the double and triple room). Staff were very friendly and helpful. Was allowed to leave our luggage overnight since my friend & I were going to return after a one night stay in Jiufen. Love the additional bathrooms & showers on almost every guest floor; the shared spaces are pretty clean. On property washer & dryer are a big plus as well. Great location as it is right by Taipei Station (HSR, MRT, local trains, and long-distance buses) and near multiple other subway lines within walking distance.

Excellent place

The place is very close to the Taipei station and to the MRT for the AirPort Express train. It means there are many shops and restaurants around of superb quality. The entire place is very new, chic, clean and tidy, with interesting historic backgrounds. The common room is well equipped and a great spot to hang out. I really love the day light from the ceiling. I stayed one night in a room without windows but it’s all fine. The room isn’t big but good enough for solo travel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Dining vouchers are offered since breakfast isn’t provided in-house. You can spend the vouchers not only in breakfast time, but anytime during the opening hours of the 8 places (Taiwanese food, café, dessert shop and more). I’d choose this place again next time.

Good: Location is good. Very close to the Taipei Main Station. Easy to find. A 7-11 convenient store just downstairs. The room is decent size and clean. A little bit of the Muji vibe. An small basin in the room. Staffs are friendly. Can be improved: The communication can be better. I requested a late check-in. Originally the information I got was the hotel will provide me an instruction and passcode for getting the key after regular checkin hours. But I didn't receive any follow up. I left message on both Expidia platform and LINE messager but I didn't receive any response after all. I only can hope there would still staffs waiting for me to check-in. And luckily it was. There were still staffs at reception at 11pm. I booked the room a week ahead, so I believe the hotel has a plenty of time to communicate this. But they just left me hanging to worry without properly informing about the situation. This definitely can do better.
