The sink is difficult to use. ##### Zhisong Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### HAJIME Oct 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Nice design and clean hotel. ##### HAJIME Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Wesley Dec 28, 2025 Location and room were good. Service somewhat lacked the usual Taiwanese warmth and hospitality which I was accustomed to. Nice to have steamboat for breakfast, especially in cold weather. Poor soundproofing was a major minus. ##### Wesley Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### BTISSAM Dec 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely hotel, Rooms are a good size and great location. My only issue was the noise from other guests as there was constant slamming doors and talking loudly (walls are not sound proof). Take earplugs if you are a light sleeper. ##### BTISSAM Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Surapol Nov 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Clean and convenient ##### Surapol Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ireneo Dec 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel is accessible to MRT Ximen Station , short walk to the station and the hotel location is perfect for travelers, it's in Ximending Area, lot's of stores to explore if you want to shop around and they also have night markets in ximending. Rooms are clean and with strong internet access. Not a fancy hotel like Marriott but a good hotel to stay if you just need a place to rest, sleep and shower for daily activities in Taipei. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/58473fd0-0938-47bd-ab27-f1a5fc59edf6-1764656931915.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cf8a4d86-3cf6-48d2-bc6d-23c08f9eed59-1764656930660.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f15b8071-8d3f-4847-891c-36eb31315006-1764656934014.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/28e13c34-d138-46bc-8bba-bebf14ab758b-1764656935373.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ireneo Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kil Sep 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I love the location ##### Kil Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephanie Ly Apr 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities was a great location for ximending ##### Stephanie Ly Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cody May 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very helpful staff, clean and comfortable room, located in a nice tourist friendly area.

And very close to my favourite beef noodle joint ##### Taylor Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tracey Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Liked the industrial feel. Cleaners were great, once i put the do not disturb light on but they still went in. No big deal. Only downside is it echos and when people come back late at night it wakes you up. ##### Tracey Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenyon Oct 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Best location for foodies, close by major landmarks. ##### Kenyon Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Branden Apr 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy to go everything and most of the place for us to go are walking distance ##### Branden Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ramon Aug 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Comfortable stay! ##### Ramon Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chien Chien Jun 26, 2024 Liked: Amenities locations perfect. ##### Chien Chien Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LI Nov 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities close to shopping and restaurant areas, a lot of different restaurants nearby. like the hotel, would go there too if visit Taibei again. ##### LI Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Daniel Jun 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness This hotel is very clean, but the room is small and has no windows. It feels oppressive to live in it. The service staff are kind and friendly. ##### Daniel Stayed 27 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mohammed Fauzi Bin Nov 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I really enjoyed the rustic vibes of the hotel, which made it a cosy stay to rest up from all the activities in the city. It's also a really short walk from all the amazing shopping and food options in the Ximending area, which meant that I was basically spoilt for choice throughout my stay. ##### Mohammed Fauzi Bin Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jake Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Whilst I understood the basement rooms would not have windows, I was expecting the lights in those rooms to be better than they turned out being; not that I wanted to stay in the room all holiday but it was very hard to see in the room or use the mirrors to get ready to go out. The breakfast buffet was great. The automated check in and out though made the experiance feel impersonal. ##### Jake Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tama goh Jul 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel for the youths. I visit Taipei annually. Sometimes up to four times a year. Most of my stays are at Hotel Papa Whale. I noticed some new front desk staff were not well trained lately. The water pressure for shower were a mark different from before when they we not as strong. This weeks visit to Taipei, I checked in twice and checked out twice to visit Taichung. The rooms are consistently well kept to high standards . I will be back soon. ##### Tama goh Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Natasha Aug 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice experience! Great area for walking and being central ##### Natasha Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paulina Oct 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great experience! Rooms are small as expected but overall great specially for those whose purpose is to tour or be out all day. ##### Paulina Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Easy access to Ximending without the noisy enviro. First time staying. Room and toilet are acceptable based on the price paid. Room was clean. Lift need cleaning. They have washing machine and dryer. Breakfast was different but service can be better. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B52FBBF268E227AC2D7DE78F265918D0E5948BED1745131141797.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D826939D4F763B701F46C6920FDEACA0AAB8A64D1745131137831.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A222A81C6C53E86545B4ABCEE2706033194411451745131142063.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7C1A57E591A9844787F0DCF3D7D8372042638FA31745131142815.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wesley Oct 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Craft beer at Driftwood Brewing!
