Taipei Inn

The room had many holes. There were ants crawling on the bed. The sheets were dirty; it took two changes before they were acceptable. The bathroom had a lot of hair from previous guests. The location is very convenient, with many restaurants and convenience stores downstairs.

The location is convenient, with a Kuang Nan store downstairs, a convenience store, and restaurants that stay open late. The front desk staff are friendly, and there's a small common area where you can relax if you arrive early or after checking out. I stayed in a single private room with its own bathroom. Although it was small, it had everything I needed, offering good value for money. The room was clean, with a TV and a fridge. It met my requirements for a private room on a limited budget. Pretty good!

The location is convenient; you can take the elevator from exit M6 or the Shinkong Mitsukoshi exit (towards Kuang Nan) to get up here! The bathroom is a decent size, the shower has strong water pressure, and the hairdryer (Taschen brand) is powerful. However, the mattress is quite thin, so it's best for those who prefer a firm bed.

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to Shin Kong Mitsukoshi. You take the elevator to the sixth floor for check-in. The entire sixth floor is a female-only dorm, which made me feel very safe. However, the lockers in the dorm rooms are thin metal, which makes them quite noisy. Even as a deep sleeper, I didn't sleep very well 😹. Perhaps they could redesign them or rearrange the locker placement. I've stayed in other youth hostels before and rarely encountered such noise issues. Also, the hairdryer's power is weak, so I'd recommend long-haired girls bring their own.

Room 717 was clean. The CCTV cameras on every corner of the hallway made me feel secure. However, the hallway floors were very echoey, so you could hear everyone walking by. My double room had absolutely no hooks or hangers, which definitely needs improvement. My room also didn't have any USB charging ports (though some single rooms with private toilets did). There were only two-pin flat sockets, so if you wanted to use a larger international adapter by the bed, you'd have to unplug the fridge or TV. There were sockets by the door and the sink, but they weren't convenient for my use. I stayed for 5 nights, and on the last night, the air conditioning unit outside my window was intermittently loud and frequent, making it impossible to sleep. This needs to be fixed. For a double room, they only provided one key. If you wanted another, you had to pay a NT$500 deposit, which was returned, but without a receipt. When I asked for one, they just scribbled a note and told me to take a picture. I hope they can be more professional about this.
