This is a guest house or hostel, so don't expect exquisite hotel services. For a reasonable price, Room 9 was a pretty decent place to stay for a solo lady traveler. Not so fancy. However, you have the basic things you need except for toothbrush but I don't mind coz it's a personal thing that every traveler must have handy. The room has a clean comfy bed, duvet and 2 pillows, strong wifi, cable TV, and hair dryer. The bathroom is spacious and clean. There are slippers and a bathroom door rug. The location is good. There's a bus stop right in front of the exit. Taipei bus station and Taipei Main station are about 6-8 minutes on foot. There's also a 711 next to the building. The staff are there 24/7 to assist and the best part is that they can speak GOOD ENGLISH! Smooth transaction. I just hope they add landmarks on their hotel descriptions to locate it easier, especially at night. Overall it was a good experience staying there.

I actually make a mistake booking this hostel but I could not believe a small hostel doing quite good. Bed is clean and comfortable. Bathroom is so clean. Everything I need is in the common room. The room I got is small one but it doesn't make me feel bad about it. For this value it is more than I expected. The host are friendly and helpful. Regards Chung Lee

My personal feeling is that the bedcloth cannot completely block the outside and light will come in. There are no individual lockers, and the number of bathrooms is relatively small. I followed Google Map to the bottom of the arrivals building, but there wasn't even a sign. I had to find the place by myself. The advantage is that it is really close to the station, it is relatively cheap near the station, and the attitude at the front desk is also very good.

There is no sign downstairs of the hotel. Just follow the map and take the elevator to the 9th floor. The room is spacious and the public areas are comfortable. It is near the Taipei Taoyuan Airport MRT station and only a few hundred meters away from the Ningxia Night Market. It is worth collecting and recommending.

The room is quite big and clean. But the entrance to the building is not very obvious and hard to find. It is very close to the airport MRT station. The air conditioner in the room is very noisy, and you can hear it even with earplugs. This should be improved.

There is a night market just a short walk away, and it is very convenient to get to the Beijing Railway Station. Hygiene is okay, no smell

The public activity area is large, with a washing machine, and you can cook by yourself. You can often smell the aroma of food. The king-size bed room is large, with no obvious stains, but the overall feeling is short, like being in a dwarf country, haha. Also, the pillow is too high, not very friendly to Asian girls with small frames, and I feel backache after waking up. The bed is also relatively soft

Since my flight was early, I chose to stay near the station. I could walk to the night market. However, it was humid and I couldn't stand the hygiene. I ate at a nearby restaurant. Shaved ice, tofu, noodles, and boiled dumplings were all cheap and delicious.

At first, when searching for accommodation, there was a special choice for a parking lot. After contacting us on the day, we found out that there was no special reservation. So forget it. We found a parking space and walked. Since we are not locals, we relied on Google Maps. When we walked to the marked location, we found that it was a closed shopping mall. So I called to ask for the exact address. The caller told me that it was in an alley across Huayin Street. I looked up and saw a signboard and asked if it was inside the signboard. The caller said no, and that I had to go to the construction road (a little far from the map). You will see the management room. We walked back and forth twice, holding the luggage and pushing the baby, and finally we chose to ask for directions before we found it. On the order form, I made a note that I needed a sterilizer and a bathtub, and I saw that I would be notified by phone if they were not available. Since I didn’t receive a call, I naturally assumed that these facilities would be available, but when I checked in, I learned that they were not available, and I didn’t respond. We didn’t receive a call, and we didn’t get a positive response for this part. Finally, the store clerk provided us with a washbasin for emergency use😅

The hotel's front desk staff are friendly and friendly. The hotel is strategically located near Taipei Main Station. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the public areas can provide meals for guests. It is highly recommended!

Just opposite the Taipei Airport MRT, there is also an activity area where you can wash clothes, which is really convenient. The room for three people is quite spacious, and it will not be crowded if you spread three luggages.
