Comfortable stay with thoughtful service, great location, and a few minor drawbacks.
I liked the guest room layout — cozy but functional, with a sofa, separate WC, bathroom, and a good work desk. The gym is compact but has everything needed for a basic workout.
Staff were excellent, especially Summer, who was cheerful, professional, and remembered our breakfast seating preference. Thanks to her, we enjoyed a lovely window seat overlooking the park.
Breakfast had a nice balance of options, with a main dish to order. I especially liked the porridge and hot soy milk. Happy hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays is a nice bonus.
The hotel’s location in the park is peaceful, and the mall next door offers plenty of dining options. There’s even a 24-hour bookstore — a personal favorite.
Only downsides: no BBC/CNN or major international TV channels, and newspapers aren’t delivered to rooms — they’re laid out by the elevators and mostly in Chinese. The Taipei Times was the only English paper I saw.
