If you can get past the dingy alleys of XMD, this little hotel is a wonderful stop and stay simply on account of its superb location. The staff were friendly and helpful and it has enough facilities for a very comfortable stay. It was our base for our exploration of Taipei and the access to the MRT station was just so very useful.

That we had to get through an alley to reach the main location. But that's not really the fault of the facility since XMD is all more or less made up of alley ways

Located in the heart of Xi Meng Ding and easily accessible to shops, food and Metro station. Since it is in a quiet alley, sounds from the vibrant street wasn't an issue at all, even if we were allocated a room on the second level. The bed was comfortable. The room could comfortably fit 3 medium luggage and still have sufficient walking space. It is also convenient for us since the reception, laundry room, water dispenser were all on the same floor. Nice touch with the little tub of ice cream for each guest. And the staff were very responsive, be it at responding to my queries over the booking app or over the counter.

There is no heater function, wonder would it be cold during winter. This did not impact us as the weather was warm during our 2 nights stay. Some of the furniture had signs of worn out and fixtures such as balcony door frame had black stains/ mould. As per other reviews, it's challenging for cars to drive up to the doorstep, so we had to pull our luggage to and fro the main road.

This is our second time booking at Hatago+ The Alley Hotel, and once again, we had a wonderful stay! The hotel’s location is perfect—right in the heart of Ximending, making it easy to explore the area, enjoy great food, and experience the lively atmosphere. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The staff are friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any requests. We also appreciate the little touches, like the cozy ambiance and thoughtful amenities. Overall, Hatago+ The Alley Hotel continues to exceed our expectations, and we will definitely choose to stay here again on our next visit to Taipei! Highly recommended for travelers looking for a convenient and enjoyable stay in Ximending.

There’s nothing I didn’t like, but I do hope they update the furniture and fixtures, as they’re starting to look a bit outdated. A refresh would make the stay even better!

This hotel is in a great location in Ximen. You do have to walk down half a block from the main road, but once you’re there you’re in the heart of things, but it doesn’t feel too loud in the rooms. The staff are very friendly and even gave us a free upgrade and free ice cream! The room was pretty big for Taipei, and there’s a washer/dryer and water machine on the same floor as the reception

The bed and pillows weren’t super comfortable - the pillows were pretty thin

I had a great stay at this accommodation! The location is right in the heart of Ximending, making it extremely convenient for shopping, dining, and exploring the area. Despite being in such a lively neighborhood, the room was surprisingly quiet with no disturbances, allowing for a restful stay. The hotel is also very accessible, making transportation hassle-free. The bathroom was well-designed with a separate wet and dry area, and the water pressure was excellent. Overall, a fantastic experience—highly recommended!

The location of the hotel is really perfect as it is just a few minutes away from the nearest bus and train stations. You can seamlessly go to the hotel straight from the airport without any difficulty. There are also lots of Michelin rated food shops downstairs, and Ximending night market is just a few steps away so in terms of accessibility this is perfect. The housekeeping staff arranges your hotel everyday and restocks shampoos and toothbrushes. The hotel also has a microwave, fridge and washing machine in case you may need one. The staff also gave us free ice cream when we checked in! Really perfect place to stay in Taipei!

Staff are polite and helpful; room & bathroom really clean; have affordable self service laundry area; convenient (walking distance from MRT and right at the center of Xi Men Ding)

So far is still ok for me, I didn’t have unpleasant experience. Just the first sight and feeling when reach is the entrance at the back alley and seems anyone can go up from the lift, but after all every floor have to enter with card access after come out from lift, so seems still ok.

The location is convenient. Right in the heart of Ximending and near Ximen train station. Clean hotel with basic facilities. For budget travelling it is a good hotel to stay in. The welcome ice cream is super good and very welcoming even during cold weather. Staff are helpful.

It is in a small lane in Ximending, not along a road. May easily missed the lane. We booked 3 rooms. 2 of the rooms have very small toilet with not much table space for toiletries. The lobby is at 2nd level. No early or late check out is allowed. NTW100 per hour for early check in or check out.

Very central location @Ximending!

Door to the rooms has a gap to the floor, therefore it is not soundproof & can hear all noises along the corridor.

This is a top quality budget hotel right in the heart of Taipei. The location couldn't be bettered to reach the main central sights and shopping areas. Excellent staff and comfortable room. It is also very quiet despite being so central. They very kindly let me check in early, which was wonderful since I'd arrived from a long flight and was on a stopover to another long flight. The room had a small balcony which was a nice bonus. I only had a brief stopover in Taipei, but thanks to this hotel's kind staff and excellent location I got to enjoy enough time in Taipei to know that I'll return again some day and I will use this hotel again. It is a budget hotel, so don't expect anything luxurious, but for travelers with simple needs like myself, it is perfect.

A safe would have been good to have in the room but Taipei seems a very safe city, so it wasn't an issue for my short stay.
