The hotel is very dated, the room I stayed is very clean with very limited furniture. The bathroom is small but they provide all the necessary items and will replace towels every day.

clean, spacious, safe
location wise, it walkable to both formosa boulevard station & central park station. room is spacious n clean overall, comfortable stay. I liked that it quiet plc. I noted the coffee table n desk showed sign of wear and tear, theres even burnt mark n stained on coffee table. I guess thats the drawback of using white furnitures. most hotels I stayed have got a safe, however, there isn’t one in this hotel.

最感到棒的部分就是酒店的basement有一個寧靜的地方可以讓客人休閑的，而且這個休閑地有咖啡餅乾供給客人享用，所以很推薦這個飯店👍。
