There are variety of rooms offered under the same "double room" title and pricing, mostly good, but one bad. Unfortunately, I was offered the bad one. I noticed that most of the bad reviews came from the customers who had similar situation as mine: got a bad room, I had to fight hard to get a decent room at the end. But the same story may continue for the next encounter when I check in to this property again soon, 8 more times.

My review of the Charming Castle Hotel: I had booked a non-refundable two-week stay through Expedia, but my experience was far from pleasant. During my stay, I encountered multiple issues. There were bugs coming out of the ceiling, and it was evident that the ceiling had structural damage, as evidenced by parts of it falling apart, which I captured in pictures. To add to my concerns, I discovered that the large mirror in the bathroom seemed to be a two-way mirror, revealing electrical wires when inspected with a flashlight. While I cannot confirm if it was a camera, this raised significant privacy concerns. Moreover, the overall condition of the hotel was subpar, with the entire floor reeking of cigarette smoke. Given the numerous problems and discomfort, I decided to check out after just five days out of the 16 I had initially paid for. Unfortunately, the hotel refused to refund any portion of my payment for the unused nights. Despite the financial loss, my well-being and peace of mind were more important, and I opted to leave. In light of the privacy concerns regarding the bathroom mirror, I believe it would be prudent for the local police department to investigate the possibility of hidden cameras in the hotel. My stay was far from satisfactory, and I would advise caution to anyone considering this hotel, even if it's priced as a three star hotel it is in actuality a one or two-star establishment.

It does what it says on the tin. It's obviously not the Hilton, but for a good price, it was comfy, bed was nice, bathroom and powerful shower were great. The gentlemen on the desk were all absolutely fantastic with me, helping me as I am learning Chinese, they were very patient, and answered everything that I wanted to know. I'd go back here when I come back to Taipei. 5 stars from me. The only isue I had was with Expedia... I accidentally booked the wrong date and they said nothing they can do, and said they spoke to the hotel and can't change the date without paying again... so I asked my Taiwanese friend to ring them directly, and they changed it there and then, so I think the Expedia customer services I spoke to lied to me that they had contacted them.

Classic yet superb room interiors. You're getting more than what you've paid for. Located in the heart of Taipei and getting onto MRT, buses or taxis in not a big deal. Will definitely book this hotel again.

Not an unpleasant decor, but an hotel that had seen better days... I felt like I was the only one in this hotel, located in a red light district that only gets activated at night. Fairly clean on a base account, the most unpleasant was the smell of the rooms which I identified as cigarette while it wasn't. The place was just old and needed a good renovation. If they fixed that smell problem, the hotel would be much more enjoyable.

Cozy and quiet corner

For the price i paid, i did not expected too much. However, i was pleasantly surprised with the comfort of the room. Situated opposite a convenience store with a row of F&B establishments, it is a good choice if you would like to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the XMD area. Comes with your own built-in sauna room in the toilet - fantastic!

Not bad. I guess you're getting what you paid for. Decently comfortable, but doesn't feel super clean. The front desk was nice! The location is probably the best part of staying at Charming Castle Hotel, close to a lot of hip and happening areas of Taipei.

Okay hotel.

Not too expensive, hotel was 10-15mins walk from Taipei Main Station, not many eateries in the surrounding area. Breakfast was porridge with basic Taiwanese vegs and buttered toast. Bed was a little hard but otherwise room was okay. In overall, just alright for a short stay.

Stay away from this place

There's not a lot to like about this place. The actual rooms do not look like anything in the pictures. Its old, its dirty, and very uncomfortable to stay at. Walls were very thin as well. You could hear the people next door flushing their toilet.
