Not crazy about online checkin...

Check-in process was online and cumbersome - not crazy about that. The place did have a nice housekeeper, and they let me stay in the central living room to do work after I checked out. I do appreciate that.

No lobby staff and no staff ever seen to ask questions of. Only contact with the hotel was through whatsapp. Check-in was a tedious process through whatsapp which I would not have successfully completed without the help of someone I was traveling with. Had to request towels, drinking water and toilet paper through whatsap on a daily basis by 11 am.

Rooms were clean and well-stocked, but each one different, and some without windows. Beds were comfortable. Advance check-in instructions were not clear. Nobody is available for on-site check-in, Be sure you have WhatsApp or Line installed, or you will be dead in the water. All communication with management is through those apps. Once we got that cleared up, everything went smoothly. This is not your typical tourist hotel, and some rooms do not have elevator access, but it is clean, safe, and authentic. I would stay here again!

Rooms are mostly without real windows.

The rooms with windows were not true windows, just a tiny cell hole high up that faces the corridors. So the rooms will not get amy sunlight. The rooms have some kind of cigarette smell. If they can get rid of smell plus wallpaper the room, room will be much better. The only good thing is that rates are quite low.

Room is very small. Shower is over the toilet. Room isn’t cleaned daily. Cheap towels, and only 2 at a time. No place to put a suicase. TV didn’t work well. AC system was not easy to use. No front desk or on-site personnel. IT WAS ONE LEVEL ABOVE LIVING UNDER A BRIDGE.

The confirmation letter from Expedia was no help. It took me an hour sitting in the lobby to realize there was no one working the frontdesk in the lobby. I had to catch other guests going in and out the 'hotel' to help with contacting the manager. I must first install Line, an app I had never used before, Then another person helped me with how to contact the manager with Line. That took another half an hour before I was checked in. As a visitor, I had internet but no phone.

Good location next to Shilin market and close to the metro. Good shower, Aircon, and an elevator. We were at the end of the corridor so it was quiet. Room is tiny which wasn't super clear in the pictures. Floor was absolutely filthy when we arrived, although when I notified reception they did send the cleaner to vacuum. It clearly never gets mopped. Bed is also small but relatively comfortable. Found the whole process for check in very tedius of messaging on line, having to download this app, recieving a code. A human interaction is sometimes better. Room was also not ready until 4pm, worldwide this is very late for a check in which is usually 2pm. They did allow us to leave bags in a communal area as no reception (which didn't feel safe at all). Overall for the price charged it felt expensive for the service received.

I wanted to like this place. I'd lived in Taiwan before so I knew what to expect from "apartment" style buildings. Location was great for my trip and wifi was blazing. Service people are helpful. Taxis probably wont want to pull up to the front of the building in that narrow street, so that's something to note. Make sure to have "Line" messaging app installed to contact the management and send a pic of your passport, to get the door panel code and check-in details for your room. Newly installed access panel for the building's front door had us locked out for 30min one day, so that could have been very bad for us had we missed a meeting. Asked to change sheets and towels one day, but only sheets were changed. There was a small window towards the hallway that make it harder to sleep as the room was never dark. Walls don't offer any soundproofing, and they ask to keep the noise down past 9pm. Overall, It's not terrible, but not great either. Good for utility, not for comfort.

こちらのゲストルームにはスタッフは常駐しておりません。 入口にゲートがあります。そこに紙が貼ってあります。QRコードがありLINEかWhatsAppに連絡します。そうすると番号が送られてきて外のゲートを開けられます。 開いたらそのまま入って下さい。そうするとソファーがありますので、そこでLINEかかWhatsAppにパスポートの写真を送るとやっと泊まる部屋がどこかわかります。中に入ってからパスポートを送っても読み込めないって何回も何回もなり結局電話してラインでパスポートの写真を送ってやっと教えてもらったって感じです。 リアルについてから2時間位格闘してやっと部屋に入れた感じです。 ここはゲストルームです。ホテルでロビーにスタッフがいると思ってる方はやめた方がいいです。 慣れたら簡単ですが本当苦戦しました。 でもハウスキーパーの方は本当にいい人でした。 ラインしてくれたスタッフもよかったがとりあえず私には凄い難しかった。 けど士林夜市は近いです。あとファミマも2、3分の所にあります。 九份とかに行くなら絶対台北駅の近くのホテルの方が便利でいいと思います。 値段で選ぶなら別ですが！最後に警告しときます。ここは本当に謎解きです。YouTubeの動画は本当にちんぷんかんぷんでよくわからなかった。 電話しないと絶対に入らなかった。 あと番号はスクショして保存する事！ それか紙に書いて持ってた方がいいよ。 以上！ まー3泊したけど住めば都www あ、最後に日本語は100%通じません！！！ 英語と中国語オンリーです。 good luck💜

士林夜市から、2分ほど歩けば到着します。 夜市は夜12時頃まで、朝は6時頃から朝市もしていて、すごく便利でした。 普通の台湾マンションをホテルにしていて、ロビーや店員がつねにいないので、何かあっても、タクシーを呼ぶのも自分でしないといけないです。正面扉にQRコードがあるので、ライン登録して、パスポートの写真を送ると、暗証番号が送られてきます。それさえクリアすれば便利です。部屋も汚くなく綺麗で、シャワー圧もお湯もでます。
