とらBABA
February 9, 2025
I stayed at five hotels in Taipei this time, but this was the cheapest and the most satisfying.
If I had chosen a room with a good view, it would have been more expensive, but I wanted to stay longer because this room was good enough.
In February, Taipei can get colder than I expected, and many hotels have no heating, so in some hotels I had to wear socks, underpants, layers of warm clothes on top, and even a down vest before I could sleep. At the previous hotel, which had the best view,
I didn't feel that cold in the room to begin with, and there was a comforter in the dresser, so I was able to sleep comfortably in my regular nightwear.
What makes this hotel nice is the cleanliness,
the fact that you can wash and dry your clothes for free, including detergent, at the laundry on the 8th floor, and when you go outside, you can see the spectacular view of the sea.
The coffee you can drink freely in the lobby on the first floor is delicious. There is also tea such as black tea, powdered cocoa, and milk tea. You can also get three kinds of snacks for free and take them to your room.
Above all, I like the convenient transportation. Although the hotel is not in front of the station, if you go right and turn there is a bus stop that comes frequently, and if you have a suitcase, you can go left and turn the corner to get on the monorail, so you can go to the last stop, transfer at Hongshulin, and take the MRT red line for easy travel.
During my stay, I took the bus every day to eat my favorite xiaolongbao. This hotel is also in front of the bus stop, so it was fine even in the rain.
There are many places that are perfect for a walk, and there is a gyoza restaurant that locals go to, so I wanted to live there.
Once you get used to taking the bus, you can go anywhere, and I was surprised that the area I thought was so remote was surprisingly convenient.
Don't forget that check-in is at 4pm and to bring slippers.
