"The hotel is a really impressive building and well located for views of Taipei, although use of the MRT, buses and bikes is needed to access most of the city. A shuttle bus is provided to guests every ~15 mins to the nearby MRT stations which is great for those carrying suitcases. It's also fairly easy to walk to Jiantian station as long as you are ok with stairs. The Shilin neighbourhood is in walkng distance and has good attractions, food, and a night market
Hotel rooms were clean and beds very comfortable, good tea and coffee are provided in rooms, temperature controls were a little tricky to figure out but the air conditioning worked well overall.
Baths and showers were great, very clean and large, water pressure and temperature were good
The economy tarriff is very well priced and allows access to great amenities such as the outdoor pool (which was a good facility) however there is no window in the room guests must pay for access to the restaurants and breakfasts which are relatively expensive. We went to local restaurants rather than eating at the hotel for this reason - although I understand the food is good!
The basement bar and tunnel are good attractions, with an impressive cocktail list including bespoke cocktails made with various Taiwanese ingredients and skilled bartenders.
It may be worth spending more money than we did to have a window viewing Taipei and access to hotel breakfast buffet! But overall a very comfortable stay."
