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.

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.

Unbelievably rude staff

Room was fine (basic, hostel style, quite stylish in a minimalist/industrial way) but staff at check in and breakfast were unbelievably rude and impatient. Very unusual for Taiwan. Staff's atrocious attitude left a bad memory.

The best thing about this place is its location. Ximen is a bustling shopping district, and my favorite part of Taipei. This hotel is located right in the middle of it, within walking distance of most of what you'll need in Taipei. The room itself had an interesting design but no windows. I think most rooms in this hotel have no windows. The internet is also weak for some reason, both the room wifi and my mobile data. For some reason there was bad reception throughout my stay. Other than that, it has the usual ammenties of any hotel and a bar fownstairs for guests.
