Booked a private room with balcony. Sink is outside of bathroom which is mildly inconvenient, and they do not give extra towels upon request. No iron in room. Breakfast is not in hotel but vouchers are given, which is inconvenient but does let you try local cuisine. Close to Main Station, but still takes a decent walk to get to the actual trains, as the station is very large. Mainly a hostel for backpackers, so do not expect hotel service. Still quite clean and safe, and staff do try to be helpful.

Lodging in Taipei is super expensive, the property was decent but very basic. Overall values is poor but staffs were great and the philosophy of the property, preserving history and effort to post about original architectural detail was great.

Convenient and Attentive

The room is clean, spacious, and has high ceilings, which makes it feel really open. The location is perfect, too. A nice touch is the breakfast voucher, which you can use at nearby spots and the café next door. The service is friendly and attentive, and a big shoutout to PJ for being especially caring.

Overall it's been a pleasant stay in this property however, you cannot expect it's the same as a traditional hotel even you've booked for a private room instead of the hostel sharing rooms. For example, there are no kettle nor mugs nor any cutleries in your room, you have to get them from the pantry in the common area. Apart from these, it's a lovely property with friendly staff and clean spaces/ facilities.

Pros: Great Location! Next to Taipei Main Train Station and Airline Metro. A lot of nearby shopping and dinning options. Facilities just looked like the pictures provided in Expedia. Cons: The sink in our room is way too small. Also, there is no counter space for toiletries. I would recommend the hotel can buy some bathroom stand alone shelving units from IKEA that won’t occupy too much bathroom space and providing some spaces for toiletries. Bed room size was decent but can be improved by putting some wall units for storage.
