やや古いホテルなのでカーペットなどに汚れがあった。テレビのチャンネルは少ないが日本語放送がひとつあった。WiFiが夜から朝まで使えなかった。向かいにあるYOSHINOYAやこのホテルのご飯は不味くて食べられらかった。It was a bit old hotel, so carpet and so on were dirty. There are few TV channels, but there was one Japanese broadcast. WiFi could not be used from night to morning. Yoshinoya opposite the hotel and the rice of this hotel were unpleasant and could not be eaten.

price and location
I had to pick up a friend from the aiport and made a one-day visit to Taipei. The hotel is well located. The room was clean and decent in size (below average). For the purpose just perfect. For a longer stay, I would choose another hotel - for a weekend trip, when one is staying primarily outside, it was just the right one.

Excellent value - 4 star service & room amenities”
Excellent value for money. I paid.
This hotel is really good for business traveller. Everything is right - smooth and soft bed linens with hard & comfortable mattress, decent breakfast, friendly and efficient staff, good in room amenities of a 4 star hotel - fridge, safe, hair dryer, coffee maker, etc. Except that the room is a bit small as a business double, and need to walk about 10 min to the nearest subway station..

Above average”
Descriptions of room type at Agoda do not indicate whether or not a room has window/no window. One of the room type shows a window in picture. But, it was actually a room with a fake window. What is the intention to show a window when there is not?
To Mislead with false advising - a crime!
A good honest business will no try to mislead customers with false advisenent. Agoda needs to do a better job in ensuring hotels advertised at Agoda give accurate amenities info to avoid dispute/lawsuits!

Location, Clean and Good Restaurant
The stay is pleasant. I stay in the delux executive twin room which is clean and tiday. However, there is some problem in air conditioning which makes the room a little bit too hot (but still acceptable). The hotel locates very well and easy to take the public transport. A lot of good restaurants are nearby.

location, accessibility to public transportation and room
I stayed in this hotel for the second time.
quite an easy access to MRT Sonjian nanjin stn. but also possible to Zhongshan stn. by foot(we even walked to the hotel from Taipei main station).
since taxi is not expensive in the city, a hotel location may not an issue but still nice to stay in the heart of the city for some strolling. recommended.

Good location in downtown Taipei
The location is good but it is not close to any of MRT station, so for foreign visitors, you might need to take bus.
Staffs are friendly and helpful, but the room is not big with limited access to sunshine due to small window.
Breakfast is good in terms if price I paid.
Overall, I like this stay.

Overall walking distance to the station is around 5 - 10 minus and the location is near the town area with even taking taxi is not that expensive.

nice room, clean and big
although the hotel is not very easy to find, it's good enough to arrive there. convenient tho not exactly close to subway. But the service is great, with smiles and willing to help. The room is huge, the beds are nice for a family of 4 people. The bathroom is decent. Staying there at this low price at this decent quality hotel is definitely a plus and no doubt that we'll re-visit this hotel next time.

Convenient and within walking distance to a few good restaurants
Room condition is horrible. Small and old. I actually stayed here before but they gave me a terrible room this time. Breakfast is really BAD. Juice is actually water plus flavor. Staff are friendly and helpful but were too eager to help out to clean my room even though my 'Do not disturb' sign was there.

We booked 2 rooms in the hotel, one is double delux and one executive twin. Located in 9th and 10th floor. I recommend executive twin if you wish to have more space. The shower room is clean and well facilitated. Breakfast was fair.
It's around 5-10 minutes walk from mrt station, changing trains are required if you want to go to the famous sights.
Overall it's a nice hotel.
