1. location is great in the hard of Ximen. 2. easy check in and check out. 3. usual daily room service with laundry room for use (cost extra). 4. The entire hotel is converted from a parking structure, no effort is made in decoration, feel like walking around the parking lot, and the room wall and ceiling are pretty much "raw". 5. initial room has no wifi connectivity due to extremely poor signal strength, and maximum shower temperature is "warm", so we requested another room and the second room has great wifi signal and nice fast hot water, so depends on your luck, we had to endure a bad room for first night. All and all, it is not worth the price in my opinion.

The hotel is very basic I would say. First of all, the WiFi is not really working. I got told that if there are too many customers, you won’t be able to link to the WiFi. The room is extremely small. We need to put our suitcase on the bed to open it as there’s no space. Service was also just ok. And the room is extremely noisy. I could hear ppl cough next door. I won’t recommend it to anyone.

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.

Beautiful hotel on the inside and out. A few warnings about having a room in the basement floor: -There is a VERY loud noise (sounds like machinery) randomly throughout the day AND night. Very disturbing in the middle of the night. -Rooms are pretty small but manageable. Not much room to open your luggages without it being in the walkway. Pros: -Easy walking distance from Ximending Night Market and shopping areas -Fairly close walking range to train station -Daily room cleaning aervice and refills of little room amenities

I love the VIP experience. I love how everything was automated however, it was intriguing that the reception/ front management lost most if not all control to make adjustments to our booking when we were looking to upgrade. Other than that, we had a great experience. Thank you.

It’s a cool hotel, decorated with an old industrial building. For a solo traveler, the room is very small, feeling like a cell. Of course, it is not expensive.

Really unique style like in an underground military facility or something. The room was fine though, decent bed and shower, I didn't hear noise from neighbours, etc. I wouldn't want to spend a lot of time in the room though, mainly just a place to sleep but go out during the day. Located on the edge of ximending area which is good. Seemed a little more expensive than it should be, but I didn't stay in other taipei hotels for comparison.
