Thumbs up Good hotel

Just got back from this four points in taipei (C&P stay).

Got a taxi from Taipei train station and the taxi driver needed to find out where it is by calling his mates using his walkie talkie, so not very well-known. Trip took less than 30 minutes and was something like TWD 250! Not expensive at all!

Got there a little too early during the day and hence rooms weren't ready yet. Left bags with concierge.

Returned in the evening to be given keys to one of the only 2 suites within the hotel! In terms of size, each suite is equal to 2 standard rooms! Not huge, but more than sufficient for my GF and I.

View from the room wasn't great, but was on the top floor so looked like everything else within normal viewing distance is beneath me!

Didn't spend too much time exploring the facilities as wanted to explore more of the city and its attractions.

Need to get a taxi from the hotel to the MRT station every morning (around 100 TWD), then simply get onto the MRT which will take you anywhere for pennies.

Benefits for Platinum:
  • Took points (250) as welcome gift
  • Newpaper (Chinese and English) daily
  • Free Internet
  • Can't remember anything else (certainly no breakfast or lounge access) (don't know if there is a lounge)

Checked out in the morning (6am) wasn't perfect since there was only 1 member of staff working at reception and hence took a little longer than expected (had taxi waiting outside)...

Afterall, good hotel and good service at very affordable prices. Would have no issue staying there again in the future (although I do want to try out the Sheraton and Westin to see how they compare).
