CHECK inn Express Hotels in Taipei

I thought a comfortable mattress is basic requirement. First thing, their mattresses are 2 single mattress to joint together become a “king size” bed. Second thing, the quality of mattress are terrible, no matter which single mattress to sleep on or even change to different room, still wonky mattress. I have to said how long they have not changed the mattress. I have told about the mattress quality to the reception, I got their response to say, their mattress brand is Simmons. I said to the lady, mate the problem is not the brand, the problem is the mattress is old need to be replaced. Changing the room was not resolved the issue.

Great location with walkable distance to the underground station (5min walk). The Taipei 101 and world trade centre is close by. The room is clean and tidy, no smell or mould. The room is generally good for sound proofing. Good water pressure and hot shower. The only complaint is that the pillows are very soft and flat. Only because of this we would not consider booking in again.

The check in is easy and the staff members were friendly and helpful. The room is in good size. The bed and sheets were clean and nicely firm for a good sleep. The a/c worked fine. The location is great and the Dongmen Station of the Red line subway is nearby, literally 3 minutes walk. The only thing needs to be careful is getting into and out the quite high washtub.

The location is within walking distance of Taipei Main Station, with many convenience stores and MRT stations nearby. It’s also quick and easy to reach Ximending by walking. The room was spacious and had plenty of space, although some rooms did not have a door for the toilet, which felt a bit uncomfortable. Overall, everything was great. Some receptionists were friendly, while a few were less welcoming.

The hotel facilities are decent, not particularly new. There's a FamilyMart convenience store across the street. The two ladies at the front desk were very friendly and recommended a lot of great food. The biggest issue with the hotel is its distance from the MRT station. It's a long walk to both Taipei Main Station and中山 Station. For Taipei Main Station, you even have to walk through an underground shopping street before reaching the station, which is very far. Guests on their last day should definitely avoid leaving their luggage at the hotel; last time I almost missed my train rushing back, it was exhausting!

This hotel is just a few minutes from Songjiang Nanjing Station, and you can walk under the building's eaves, which is super convenient if it rains. There are also many Japanese shops nearby, like Sukiya, CoCo Ichibanya, and Komeda Coffee, making it a great choice even for those who aren't seasoned travelers. While it's primarily smart check-in, the front desk staff speaks some Japanese and are very helpful. My room this time was a connecting room, and unfortunately, I could clearly hear coughing from the next room, which was unpleasant. It's a shame, because the TOTO Washlet in the toilet and the large bathtub were very comfortable. There's also a safe in the room.
