Boutique Hotels in Taipei

"I stayed at this hotel last year and had a great experience, so I decided to return this year. The day before arrival, the hotel asked for my estimated check-in time, and I told them around 3 PM. Since it was before the official check-in time, I only intended to drop off my luggage, but to my pleasant surprise, the room was already ready! This allowed me to rest a bit in the room, which I really appreciated. It's true that you can hear conversations in the hallway and loud talking from the adjacent rooms. However, on my floor, I only heard voices when people were walking from the elevator to their rooms, and there were no constant conversations in the hallway, so it didn't bother me much. I imagine, probably due to the price point, the clientele is generally quite decent. The toilet has a bidet function, and the seat is heated, which is a nice touch. In the bathroom, shampoo and body soap are provided. The water heats up quickly, and there were no issues with water leaking from the shower door. The hotel is about a 7-minute walk from Ximen Station, but the walk from the station to the hotel is through a lively area with many shops, so it wasn't a bother at all – it was actually quite enjoyable. Having a massage parlor next door is also very convenient. Even though it was the rainy season, there were plenty of amenities and attractions nearby, so I could still enjoy sightseeing despite the rain. I was very satisfied with my stay."

"The Z8 exit, which connects directly to the subway station, is right in front of the hotel entrance. However, there are no escalators, making it incredibly difficult to carry heavy, large suitcases up. It's actually more convenient to use the escalator at the K12 exit in the opposite K section and then cross the street. The room I stayed in this time had a great view and was a good size, not too small. However, the refrigerator wasn't cooling at all, so it wasn't suitable for keeping water, beer, or other drinks cold. It probably needs repair or replacement. The hotel is within walking distance of Ximending and conveniently located for using Taipei Main Station. The Airport MRT station is also close by. Overall, the facilities are clean. As for amenities, only basic toiletries are provided, so you'll need to bring your own personal hygiene items. Room cleaning needs to be requested by filling out a form and submitting it a day in advance. You can pick up complimentary bottled water from the 4th-floor lobby. Towel changes and trash removal can be requested on the same day. Usually, if you inform them before you head out, they'll take care of it while you're gone."
