Video of The Avenue - King Premium Room Separate Bath Walk-in Shower:

38sqm. Very unique room layout. When entering the room, you will see the wet area decorated by white tiled floor and wall. Through hallway of the wet area, then enter the bedroom.

The last 2 times I was given exactly the same room on the same floor. This time I asked for a room with a different view. I was given a Taipei 101 view room. The layout was slightly different and this room had a basin of a single type.
