Conveniently found near station but..

Built in 1964, it isn’t the newest building in town and has no classic or retro feel to it. It’s clean and rather roomy so if I’m to stay it’ll be for business (not vacation)

Close walk to subway stations and restaurants

Stayed 5 days/4 nights in this hotel. Checked in around midnight and checked out in the morning. Smooth process and friendly staff. Only one small elevator in this hotel. Room has no window. Not the newest hotel but overall in clean acceptable condition. For this price it is acceptable. Shampoo/conditioner/soap is a bit low on supply. Need to request for more. Close to multiple subway stations and a lot of restaurants nearby. Many 7-11 convenience store nearby. Will recommend to others. About 15 mins walk to Taipei Main Station.

highly recommended for budget travelers

The place is very strategic, near a lot of convenience shop, massage and especially food shops/restaurants. The hotel is a walk away (2 blocks) from the nearest MRT station. The hotel is clean and is good especially for those who are looking to comfortable rest after a full day of walking and doing touristy activities.

Not so expensive. Good location, but it takes around 8 minutes to the nearest MRT station by foot. The reception staff is very kind, helpful and can speak Japanese quite well. Many Japanese guests in this hotel.

Hotel needs a major clean up and makeover.

The use of keys to access the rooms is rather outdated. Same goes to the furniture and decor in room. Horrible air quality in Room 610. Nights in that room meant endless sneezing and nose blowing and these symptoms only subsided when I left my room the following mornings. My room was enveloped suddenly with smoky smell on Christmas midnight. My belongings smelt of smoke for the rest of my trip in Taiwan. The ventilator in the bathroom was redundant. The mirror remained fogged up unless it was wiped. There was a night I had to hand wash a piece of stained clothing and it was still damp when I returned to my room the following night. The only positive points were the availability of a bathtub to soak the soreness away from intense sightseeing and the good memory of a lady staff (I didn't ask her name) who could give me the correct room key without myself mentioning my room number.

Just okay.

It was okay or a little less than okay. The staff when checking in was not particularly friendly, but at least they knew what they were doing and could get the room for us in a short amount of time -- unlike some places I've stayed. The room was drab and needed to be upgraded. Since we couldn't get another hotel on that date during New Year at the price, it worked out for one night. We stayed in another hotel two other nights and would happily have stayed there longer.

Good basic hotel with all you need

Overall, this hotel was absolutely fine but they're behind with modernization. Had a great time with no problems whatsoever. Bed is fine, room size adequate, and two free bottles of drinking water everyday. My reference point is having stayed in plenty of similarly classed hotels in china & HK. I would recommend it to a traveler like myself, who is not obsessed with decorations/luxury, but rather see it as a clean simple place to sleep at night. Area - 10min walk to Taipei Main or ZhongShan subway station. Plenty of restaurants in nearby alleyways. Here's the strange part- district is popular with Japanese visitors due to abundance of hostess bars. These bars house sexy girls who are paid to flirt and drink with customers who pay inflated drink prices. The many bars are in nearby alleyways and are nicely decorated with closed doors and unassuming signs. If you were not familiar with the culture, you wouldn't guess what they were. They do not cause any disturbances. The Bathroom was outdated for asian hotels. Still had the tub/shower combo with shower curtain. Toilet was old and plugged easily. The hotel also strangely recommends to "not throw tissue into the toilet" (I actually assume they meant toilet paper tissue... ) Door lock - first time I've encountered the traditional lock and key door. Most hotels at this budget level have electronic locks with keycards. Steel door and with a safe built-in the room, so I wasn't concerned about security..

We arrived the hotel before noon. The staff is very friendly, told us where is the nearest mrt station to our desired place.

Nice hotel with good price in Zhongshan area

Pros: Hotel staffs are really friendly. They even can speak some Vietnamese, which is my native language. The room is good enough with almost important facilities such as TV, network (wire and wireless), secure box, etc. Cons: There is no fridge in my room. My room was always left unlocked after room service (!).

In need of refurbishment

The hotel is clearly ouddated and although that shows in the price being relatively cheap vs other hotels in the area, I felt it was overpriced. The wifi was good and so was the hairdryer. The location was good, being not too far from the train station.

Nice location, decent condition, reasonable price

- Hotel was about 10 minutes walk to the closest MRT, but the Zhongshan station is quite central, hence convenient for exploring the rest of Taipei - Massage parlours, bars, eateries and street stalls nearby, though some research is necessary to differentiate the clean massage parlours and bars from the ones that provide "full service". - Room was clean, bed was new but the condition of the room was a little old, especially the bathroom ceiling and the wallpaper. - Staff was friendly and the cleaner who handled my floor was extremely polite. - Plenty of banks nearby, which are the main means of currency exchange.
