It’s rare to find an ocean view hotel for a reasonable price, but this hotel has it! We stayed on the top floor with the balcony overlooking the ocean and it was amazing. A beautiful view to wake up to. Highly recommend!

Hotel

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.

Interesting place

Stayed as a couple. Interior design is special. The room starts to look a bit worn out. Good space for luggages. Loved the free snacks/cup noodles by the reception/elevator. It gives you the opportunity to try some snacks you do not usually buy.

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.

家族連れでした。 ホテルは駅から少し離れてましたが、夜市から近かったので選びました。 基本タクシー移動でしたが、どこにでもアクセスが良かったと思います。 ホテルの中は綺麗で改装済な印象でした。 隅々まで綺麗な印象はありませんでしが、値段の割に良いと思います。 子供が内装がとても気に入っておりました。 部屋の中はとても明るく、ファミリー向けだと思いました。
