The hotel is conveniently located near the Xindian MRT station. Family Mart and Starbucks is visible from the MRT exit, and 1 min from the hotel Across the street you can have access to a wide variety of Taiwanese restaurants to choose from. My bedroom was clean, it has a king sized bed. The window has a nice view of Bitan river and bridge. There is a table, a small refrigerator (2 free soft drinks). Also there is a water boiler, with 2 free water bottles. They provide tea and instant coffee. I had a bag filled with dirty laundry, they have washing machine and dryer near the lobby. Taiwanese breakfast is awesome! I got a window seat, and enjoyed the scenic view of Bitan bridge and river. They have a coffee machine, soup, congee, variety of vegetable, meat, and egg dishes that goes well with congee. When I checked out, the front desk was courteous. My condo in Xindian is in the mountains and needed extensive repairs, so I ended up staying at the hotel. I showed the front desk my unpaid water and electric bills. The front desk called them up right way to help me resolve the issue. He even told me which MRT stop I needed to go to to restore my electric bill.

I think Taiwan passed a law where they don't offer tooth paste, tooth brush, comb in the bathroom. Prices is more expensive Friday and Saturday nights, but staying Sunday - Thursday is almost 1/2 the price of Friday and Sunday.

The location was convenient and made it easy to get around. However, apart from the location, there was not much else that stood out positively during my stay.

There was an unpleasant smell in the room, although I could not tell whether it was cigarette smoke or another odor. The overall level of cleanliness was also below my expectations, which affected the comfort of the stay. I think both the odor and cleanliness could be improved.
