We were positively surprised. Reviewers of this and similar hotels had complained about small rooms, hard mattresses and strange breakfasts. All true, but: This is Asia! Rooms are small, mattresses are hard (I have a bad back and really appreciate a firm, hard mattress!), and the breakfasts are Asian! After some long flights with terrible airplane food, we enjoyed the lavish freshly prepared breakfast spread. (For those less happy with Asian breakfast,, there was a plentiful section of Western breakfast foods...)
The room was small, but quiet, and clean. Everything worked, air conditioning, hot water, elevator. The hotel isn't new and some of the furnishings could do with some updating, but that's a very minor detail and didn't affect the quality of our stay.
The staff was competent, friendly, eager to help, eager to please.
The location is excellent - only about 15 min. from the airport. (The staff at the taxi stand and the driver didn't know where it was, but called the hotel, found out, and got us there without problem.)
The hotel price is ok. The downside is that two taxi trips add about US$35 to the total cost, which makes it a bit pricey though that may be unavoidable.
All in all, we had a relaxing restful stay. Next time I have to overnight in Taipei, this is where I'll stay.
