The hotel is very dated, the room I stayed is very clean with very limited furniture. The bathroom is small but they provide all the necessary items and will replace towels every day.

clean, spacious, safe
location wise, it walkable to both formosa boulevard station & central park station. room is spacious n clean overall, comfortable stay. I liked that it quiet plc. I noted the coffee table n desk showed sign of wear and tear, theres even burnt mark n stained on coffee table. I guess thats the drawback of using white furnitures. most hotels I stayed have got a safe, however, there isn’t one in this hotel.

以這個星級飯店而言,整體還不錯。 只是居住時有些個問題: 1. 冷氣空調的溫度完全無法變動,整晚在10度的寒冷溫度中度過,幸好被子夠溫暖。冷氣的噪音也很大。 2. 衛浴間的換氣機運作聲音非常吵。 3. 飯店沒附早餐,隔天早上9:30,我和另一間朋友出外用餐,10:30左右回到房間,我朋友的房間竟然已經被重新整理好房間,然後浴室內洗手臺的水竟然嘩啦嘩啦的流⋯(推測是房務人員發現客人回來,匆忙跑了忘了關)

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Pessima insonorizzazione. Si sente ogni rumore della stanza accanto, addirittura anche quando accendono e spengono l’interruttore della luce. Tutti i rumori che provengono dalla strada. Un’altra cosa veramente fastidiosa è l’odore persistente che si percepisce nelle camere e nei corridoi. Ho soggiornato in una double deluxe al secondo piano vista strada principale.Il vetro della finestra è molto sporco. La camera è molto ampia ma la valigia deve stare per terra perché manca una panca su cui riporla. Come armadio c’è un tubo con qualche gruccia. Con tutto lo spazio che c’è potrebbe essere organizzato meglio. Rifiniture dei muri e pavimenti scarsi. Andrebbe ‘ripulito e rinfrescato’. Lo staff però è molto carino e gentile. A parte questo non ci ritornerei.

방도 깨끗하고 위치도 좋아요
미려도역 6번 출구에서 도보로 10분으로 역에서도 가깝고 호텔도 깨끗했습니다. 같은 가격의 타이페이 호텔이 좋지않아서 걱정했는데 예상 보다 깔끔하고 역에서도 가까워서 좋았어요.10~20정도 거리에 24시간하는 코인세탁소도 있고, 야시장도 맛있고 좋았어요.
