This is the 2nd time i've stayed at this property, but for the price I paid, i'm very sure there are other better places to stay the night. It is a shame however, considering that it is very conveniently located, with Ximending and Taipei Train Station within 15 minutes walk.
My first stay was a total shocker - run-down, noisy, little cockroaches running all over, and the room fridge looked like something that runs on USB. I was totally disgusted at the condition that i even contemplated changing hotels.
On my second stay, I needed a place near Taipei Train station to stay the night before heading south the next morning, so i gave it another shot. It was good to find that the owners had put put in new lifts, and the condition of the room i stayed in was a bit better than the one i had on my first stay, but could still do with an overhaul.
The complimentary breakfast that came with the stay is traditional taiwanese breakfast fare. If that's not to your taste, there's toast with jam and butter. The coffee however is horrible, and in my opinion, undrinkable.
Overall, if all you need is a night's sleep and to be located near the train station, this is not too bad.
However, i don't recommend it for long term stays. If location is a huge consideration, you might want to spend a bit more for better comfort at City Inn Hotel Taipei Main Station I or Just Sleep Hotel Ximending.
