Excellent hotel - rooms are clean and modern, breakfast was delicious and staff was helpful. Since there was no iron in my room, they lent me a steamer. Location in Central West District is good for walkability to Shennong Street and Wusheng Night Market - 15 min walk and bus ride to the train station though

Loved this immaculate hotel which is in a remodeled commercial building. Nice staff, several breakfast options, great location for walking to Shennong Street, Hayashu Department Store, Garden St. Night Market, and more. I would only have wished for better coffee; a Nespresso machine would have made our stay perfection.

Service and room was excellent! We had originally booked 3 nights in a room with tatami mats, but after our arrival, we realized it was not for us and we had made a mistake. We asked the hotel staff if we could switch to a room with a bed for the remainder of the stay and they were so generous to accommodate the request. Breakfast each morning was excellent and this is the perfect location to explore the West Central District by foot. Great food and drink options all in walking distance. Highly recommended!

The hotel itself is very cute. Room is simply decorated but has all you need. Breakfast is delicious - we had 3 out of the 4 options and all were good. You do need to select specific time for breakfast as the space is limited. Hotel location is convenient and easy access to most places. Only downside is the water pressure for shower was a bit weak.

值得推薦的飯店

我在11月入住，房間十分乾淨舒服，感覺是剛剛裝潢好，空間很大，即使有三個大行李箱打開也沒問題。廁所有免治馬桶，淋浴間也很大，淋浴乳和洗髮精都是台灣製造的。送的小吃是當地著名餅乾，很讚。房間的設計都很人性化，唯一不好的地方是廁紙架在馬桶後面。附近也有購物街，如果是坐公車可能地點有點不方便，但職員也可以幫忙叫車。早餐都是前一天在前台預約，我覺得這樣比自助餐更環保，而且味道很好！如果飲料可以有更多選擇就好了。整體非常推薦這家飯店。

Cleanliness is top notched. Room is big. Some basic necessities could be requested during the stay. Concierge speaks good English and is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. There are many eateries around the hotel and some tourist spots are within walking distance. 1 night stay on a Sunday night cost about USD50 and it comes with free breakfast for 2 pax.
