I normally don’t write reviews regardless of any experiences but this one gotta be the most unorthodox hotel. Prison themes with prison wifi. Only picked this because I had unpleasant experience with nearby Airbnb and papa whale just happens to be near it. 4 stars hotel my ass. I’m not expecting any 5 star treatments nor red carpets but this is WAY below standard 3 stars. Only good part about this prison is the location; Ximending. This hotel is a huge tourist trap. Trust, don’t go

Great Place
Very hip place in a busy part of time. This is a a great place for tourist, and close to transportation They even gave me a FREE late checkout :) it is in the main Taipei city center and walkable to EVERYTHING. The room is super small, that is the only negative.
