Spacious room and good housekeeping. I chose a room with window so have good day light, can see the Main Street and watch the Tai wan style traffic xD. Bed is comfy and shower was great. Air conditioning was good but a bit loud. Staff are helpful and friendly. There’s complementary snacks every day for guests at the lobby too. Very thoughtful.

Great stay here - was very quiet during CNY as it’s in the CBD. Room was unique and a good size. Would’ve been nice if a thoughtful layout on where to place luggage. Overall a great stay

I stayed for three nights. The first morning housekeeping knocked on my door at 9:45 wanting to clean the room. I've never been disturbed so early in the morning by housekeeping. Also, a phone call would have been better appreciated as I was still in bed.
Second day there I return to my room after a day of sightseeing and find a pair of men's underwear in my room.
Housekeeping also did nothing to clean or organize my room.
I'd have to think twice before I'd stay there again.

Room was big and spacious but had a certain odour which can get annoying. Toilet was also quite poorly maintained. However service was good and small snacks available for guests to take.

Papa Whale is a so so hotel. Wifi was very unstable. Keeps cutting off. Location is ok pretty near to farmosa boulevard and both Nanhua and Liuhe night market. For the price, not much complaints. However, travellers need to take note toilet paper cannot be flush down here. One good thing is that they have free drinks, snacks at the lobby beside the lift

Paraphrase: The front desk staff were exceptionally friendly and offered valuable assistance. The bar served top-quality cocktails and even provided me with two complimentary alcoholic drinks. The room was spotless and had a fresh, new appearance. I intend to book this hotel again when I return to the city next time. 前台接待人員非常友善。酒吧供應出色的雞尾酒,甚至給予我兩杯免費的酒精飲品。客房非常乾淨,看起來嶄新。下次再來這個城市時,我計畫再次預訂這家飯店。
