Great hotel! Will definitely return!”

Nothing beats the hotel's location. The hotel is smack at the heart of Ximending, the center of youth culture in Taiwan. Food establishments (from high end to cheap street food) are everywhere. Convenience stores and shopping places are abundant. You can hail a cab right in front of the hotel, or walk leisurely for 10 mins. to Ximen Station (no problem with this since there are a lot of thins to see along the way). Hotel comprises around four or five floors of a commercial building. The rest are office and shopping floors. Although the building itself is old, and the elevator looks ancient (and sometime stinky), the floors where the hotel operates looks newly-renovated. Security is good since you need your hotel room key to access your respective floor. The Triple room was HUGE and well-lit compared to other budget hotels worldwide. The room was sparkling clean and smells like clean and fresh laundry. All the basics are available, and the toiletries (soap and shampoo) smell so gooood! Even the hallways smell fresh. With free snacks (peanut brittle and potato chips) and water inside the mini refrigerator. With large screen TV with many channels. And plus points to high-pressure water shower and blow-dryer. Breakfast was good, although vegetarian. Lots of Taiwanese noodles, vegetables and rice. Lots of juices. Milk and coffee available. Staff was helpful. If on the way to the hotel from Taoyuan Airport, better to take metered cab. We were three and we paid TW$109 for a 35 min. (no traffic since we arrived in Taipei at 12 midnight). If on the way to the airport from the hotel, better to avail of the hotel's taxi service (flat rate of TW$1,000). Guests are mostly tourists. A good mix of Westerners (Americans and Europeans), Japanese and local Taiwanese. Lots of families with young children. Lots of couples and groups of friends too. Cheap, good location, clean. I personally think this hotel is super value for money.

Best budget hotel in Ximen”

This is a budget hotel located in Ximen area. The hotel lobby is situated at the first level. Breakfast is included, and is served at the lobby area. To get to the rooms level, you have to tap your room card on a censor in the lift to reach the floor. This give added feeling of security. The room is big, in fact it is the biggest out of the three hotel that I stayed. However, the room has no windows. The bathing area is a semi-walled up area, which you can feel up, sit by it, and bath using a small heart shaped container, reminiscent of a japanese sauna. Free wifi is available, and signal strength is strong. Staffs are very friendly and polite. If you are going out of town, and will not be back for a night or two, you can choose to check-out, and deposit your luggage with them. In fact, they seem a little over-zealous in helping me look after my luggage. Luggages are kept at the hotel lobby out in plain sight though. However, it is next to the staff counter, and is monitored by CCTV. Take a right turn outside the hotel, and a right into a back alley, and you will find some nice snacks. One of my favourite is the Kebab stall right at the entrance of the alley. For 55 TWD you get a bun stuffed with ample barbequed chicken, tomato, and cheese.

Great stay, but step up on visibility & security”

Go Sleep Hotel is certainly value for money, located in Ximen area with lots of shopping and eateries nearby. It is very new and very comfortable. Its sparkling clean, with a spacious bathroom tapped with a rain shower (yay!!!) so we certainly had a great rest. The staff are extremely polite and helpful. Breakfast was nice, choice of traditional chinese food / porridge / toast and the staff kept inviting us to help ourselves to coffee / tea whenever we felt like it. It is rather hard to find the entrance because it is inset and the signboard is yellow with cartoonish words on it, looking more like an arcade place instead of a hotel. It is not very visible or well sign-posted, which is confusing because that whole area has signboards all over the place. Another thing is that it still is quite a distance to the Ximen train station and that is not fun when you're dragging your luggage amidst the crowd. I read reviews on the security, the building is shared with some other tenants and the hotel is only occupying the upper levels. However the hotel floors are by access card only so you only have to bear entering the elevator with young punks / old men till they get out at the 4th floor or so. If you're worried, just wait for the next lift. Tip: make handy the hotel's phone number just in case you cannot find the entrance. In fact I walked into another similar hotel by mistake and they kindly told me where to find Gosleep.

convenient location!”

Go Sleep Hotel Hankou is a highly recommended place for those who will be traveling to Taipei. It is conveniently located near Ximending (a wonderful shopping place) in Taipei and also near the Ximen MRT station. The staff is very helpful and approachable. The bedroom was very comfortable because of the good airconditioning and their soft beds. Even if it's not yet check-in time and even if you have already checked out, you can still have your luggages conveniently stored inside the hotel. Free breakfast everyday was also good and saves you time of finding a place to eat breakfast outside. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Go Sleep! With love from the Philippines :)

The best and the service is awesome”

The best thing about Go Sleep Hotel Hankou is the location. It is at the heart of Ximending where shops, restos and convenience store are just around the corner. It is also a walking distance to Ximen MRT Station. Staffs are corteous, professional and very approable. The room is spacious enough. They provide us free water and change the linens and towels everyday. Given a chance to return to Taipei, I will still choose Go Sleep Hotel Hankou.

Great location but intermittent wifi service”

The hotel was located in Ximending, a place where a lot of youths gather and hang out. Therefore, it was very convenient for us to do some shopping. The hotel was also near the MTR Ximen station, so traveling to other parts of taipei was convenient and easy (Ximen station is just 1 station away from Taipei Main Station, which connects to a lot of bus routes and other MTR lines). The free breakfast provided by the hotel was satisfactory, as there were quite a lot of variety. The staff also altered the menu everyday, albeit slightly, to cater to a wider variety of food. However, the free wifi provided by the hotel was quite disappointing. I failed to connect to the wifi for at least half of my stay there. I had to go to the main lobby to use the wifi. Another point to note is that the hotel is hard to locate, as it shares the building with several other businesses, such as an arcade. You may have to ask around for directions.

Highly Recommended!”

We stayed in this hotel from 30 June to 7 July 2017 but had to go to Taichung in between. Room - The family room good for 4 was spacious with 2 double beds. We had a comfortable stay. They provided fresh towels and bottled water everyday. If you forget your bottled water in the room, front desk will gladly give you one. Buffet Breakfast – Taiwanese food, lots of variety (noodles, veggies, etc.) They also have fries and hashbrown. Unli Drinks 24 / 7 – Brewed Coffee / Tea (hot and cold) / Different fruit juices. Location – in the heart of Ximending Area! Walking distance to H and M, Uniqlo and other shops. Lots of local restaurants arounds. There are also McDonalds, KFC and Starbucks in the area. MRT is around 500 meters away from the hotel…. but don’t fret you will enjoy the leisurely walk around the shops in Ximending going to the MRT Station Staff – Very polite and accommodating Check-in and Check-out Process were fast Wifi in the Hotel – Very Fast Travel Tip: • You can rent a pocket WiFi at Ivideo. You can do this before your trip and pay the rental fee online. This can be picked it up at their Ximending Shop near the MRT Station. Very reliable - battery lasts for the whole day • Must Try Food / Drinks – Bitter Sweet Melon Shake / Bingsu / Egg tarts etc We definitely had a grand time in this hotel and will highly recommend to our friends!

Great Location for an Affordable Hotel!”

The hotel is strategically located at Ximen Area and is just one MRT station away to Taipei Main Station. Room is very spacious and clean including bathroom. They change the sheets and the towels every day. Water flowing through the shower and faucet is abundant with Hot and Cold options. Hair Dryer also is part of their standard amenities. Unlimited drinks (juice, coffee, milk tea, etc) at the GF Dining Area accessible 24/7 and complimentary bottled water daily placed at the room's mini refrigerator. They also offer Airport Service which we availed to and from the airport at a price. Suggestion though to expand breakfast options since it can be tiring especially to long staying guests. A bidet will also be useful at the restroom. Over-all rating of this hotel to me is GOOD! :)

Pleasant stay!”

Upon arrival, was pleased with their fast check-in service. The counter staffs were courteous and attentive, two thumbs up! Arrived at my room and to my pleasant surprise, room was bigger than I had expected! Sheets were clean and everything was tidy. Carpets were relatively clean too. Only down side is Aircon took some time to cool the room even though it was ten degrees celcius outside. Basic grooming amenities were provided. Room slippers were provided too! Hotel was 10-15 minutes walk from Ximen Metro station. Just one minute walk away from the hustle and bustle of the busy Ximending shopping and food area. I will stay here again!

Surprisingly Great Hotel!”

My parents were visiting me in TW and were only going to be here for 3 days. Booked a room for the two of them in a really affordable, but clean and comfy room. Arrived with hella luggage (they just spent 3 weeks in Indonesia+Singapore) and checked in really fast. Staff knew both Chinese and English! The elevators were a bit ghetto and the doors would close hella fast. And the hotel is on the 7th-10th floor of a building that is shared with a pool hall and KTV and other shady nightlight activities lol Anyways, our first room was small and could only fit two, but it was clean and the bathroom was of a decent size. But since the aircon wasn't properly working, we got moved into a bigger room that fit all 3 of us (2 double beds next to each other to be like a queen and 1 single bed across the room)! COOL! So I ended up staying with them hehe breakfast was great the next morning! SOOOO convenient to the XiMen MRT and just XiMen area in general. I loved that it was so close to a tourist destination that had late night eats and cute shopping. The last day, my parents' flight wasn't until later that night so after we checked out, we left our luggage in the lobby (all tied up and tagged with our paper slip) and didn't redeem it till 10pm that night. REALLY friendly and helpful staff. I recommend this hotel!

The place is clean and located near MRT Station, night market and convenience store.”

We stayed here for 4 nights and i will say that the place is clean. We arrived early and they kept our luggage until we came back on our first day. Check-in time is 3PM and Check-out time is 12PM. The room that we rented has 2 twin beds which i think what we book is a queen size bed but it doesn't matter since the bed are still big for us. There are many convenience store near the hotel, fast foods (McDonalds and KFC) and also there is a pharmacy across the ground floor which we needed since we bought some medicine during our stay. Water in the the refrigerator are replaced every day (4 bottles in our case) so we don't need to buy anymore. The place is 5-10 mins walk to the Ximen Station and Night Market which made it easier to transfer and buy some foods. What i noticed is that you can hear loud noises outside but it is quiet after 10pm so we still had good sleep. Overall i will recommend this place and we will book this hotel again if we will go back to taipei.

Good location”

Go Sleep hotel have a very good location, in the heart of Ximending, it is around a 10min walk from the MRT Station, and it is only 1 stop away from the Taipei Main Station. The walk to the MRT station is fun, as the shops and eateries will keep you entertained.The room is very clean, nice & good size !! The staff is helpful & always service with smile, we have a good staying !!

Simplistic and clean”

The location is very near the shopping district but it is still a distance (10-15mins) away from the Ximen subway station. The hotel lobby door is very hidden; we missed the hotel entrance completely. The only real con is that the hotel rooms (I believe) is only on the 8th floor of the whole building, a few of the other floors are rather shady (eg. billiard shop, jackpots, arcades) so the other people who take the lifts look a little dubious. Whilst only hotel guests can access that specific 8th floor with the room cards (the hotel's security feature), I would still think it may not be completely safe if a female travels alone or even in pairs. Other than that, the hotel is nice and clean with a huge lobby lounge where breakfast is also served. The staff are very friendly too. Given the attractive price quoted by Agoda, i think it is definitely a very good deal and will come back to stay again

Exceptional”

We stayed in this hotel for 5 nights. I can say that it is worth our money. We arrived early and planned to leave our luggages so we can go around. We were given free breakfast by the staff (which was awesome) since they can’t accommodate an early check in. We appreciate that gesture since it was a very cold morning and a hot coffee/drink was very needed. The place is near Ximending-The shopping district. It is near to bus stop and also a walking distance to Ximen Station. I definitely recommend this hotel to those who are looking for an affordable stay, nice hotel staff and close to MRT station and bus stop.

Great location large nice rooms but weird smell”

Be prepared to share the old lifts with KTV and party goers that take it up to the 2nd 3rd and 4th floors. You need a hotel room key to access the floors where the rooms are located. There is an overpowering air freshner smell in the hallway. Cleaning service is good and nothing stolen even though newly bought items were left near bed, free internet, wifi, breakfast. Overall, the hotel was a pleasant stay for 7 nights. Hotel staff were helpful although some struggle with english. Room was a great size for 3 people, although a pillar blocked one of the beds from seeing the TV. Bathroom was in excellent condition with a large bathtub. location is 10 minute walk to ximen subway station, and a short walk to many top shopping brands, ktv and the happening ximending shopping/eating district.

We love our stay in the family room at 5th floor. ”

Facility: free flow of coffee, hot water and fruit juice all day long at the lobby area. We also had our breakfast there every morning during our stay. Got weighing scale to measure your luggage before heading to airport. Location:about 8 minutes walking distance from Exit 6 of Ximen station. It is not far and tiring walking journey as you are actually shopping in the centre of the famous Ximending. Room:Water pressure is high and hot shower temperature are alright throughout the stays. Will definitely stay this hotel when I visit Taiwan again.

Convenient and easy to walk to the Ximending”

This hotel is modern with surprisingly interior. The hotel looks cool and chic with its modern design and good usage of space. it fully utlised its small space and transform it into trendy and chic room for the youngs. The location is Convenient to catch the MRT and train from Ximen station to Taipei Main station. Shopping district is round the corner and the night is buzzing with fun as well.. With night market and store opening till late night.. A highly recommaded hotel to stay in taipei..

Excellent location and great customer service”

I honestly didn't expect much when I booked this hotel. But everything changed as soon as we stepped into the hotel. Check in was smooth considering we arrived around 1AM. The room was great - soft bed, clean bathroom, with complementary bottled water and toiletries. The only downside, I would say, was the thin walls where we could hear other guests outside. The location is about 5-minute walk to the Ximen station where you will pass by several restaurants, shops, and convenience stores. The staff were accommodating and helpful. Overall, it was a great stay at the Go Sleep Hotel Hankou. My sister and I enjoyed our 3-day stay in Taipei, nonetheless.

Good location, value for money”

The location of this premise is just too convenient. You can get whatever you need in this area. Nearby the hotel with walking distance of 2mins, there are a few convenient stores and local food stalls are just located in front of the hotel. The hotel is surrounded with the famous commercial area. Walking distance to ximending mrt station. Staffs are friendly and the check-in is smooth within 10mins although there are 15 of us in the group. The room is spacious with comfy bed, clean bathroom and proper facilities equipped. Highly recommended for those who need everything during their stay in taipei.

Cost effective and well located”

The hotel is well located near Ximending station and with just 1 stop away from the main Taipei station, it makes transporting around Taiwan a breeze. There are many eateries, shopping mall and small stores that we could shop around without having to travel far. Although the room is small, it could well accomodate our 4 big pieces of luggage bags. We were quite impreseed by the big bathtub located in the room as it allows us to have a good soak after each tiring day. I would recommend this hotel to budget traveller as it is really cost effective and provides the basic need for a traveler.
