I found the hotel's location to be quite ideal, near the Xingtiangong MRT in Taipei and central to shopping and dining options. The rooms were comfortable with modern amenities, although a bit small, and the service, while friendly, had some shortcomings. The dining was decent but not exceptional, and the facilities provided were satisfactory overall.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms equipped with free internet, a good Queen size bed, and a shiny, white, and up-to-date bathroom. The separate shower booth and Japanese-style washlet add a nice touch, though the absence of a shower curtain was a minor inconvenience. The service was outstanding, with very service-minded and professional staff going out of their way to assist with various requests. The location is excellent, near a metro station with easy access to restaurants and shops. The dining experience was average, with room for improvement in variety, but overall, the stay was pleasant and value for money.

The hotel room was an upgrade from what we originally booked, with a good Queen size bed, a shiny and up-to-date bathroom, including a full bath tub with a shower but no curtain, a separate shower booth, and a Japanese style washlet. The room was spacious, especially compared to the 'king bed deluxe' room we switched to later on. The cleanliness and modernity, particularly of the bathroom, stood out as the nicest I've seen in a Taipei hotel.
