Great location. Steps away from my new fave coffee shop in taipei. Well connected by busses and close to two separate metro lines, so there's never a problem getting anywhere. Also close to a fun, less touristy night market. The place itself is very cute and has a lot of character. Very clean, the rooms all have cute details. The staff will help you get any suitcases up and down the stairs and are very helpful in answering questions, etc. Will def stay here whenever I come back to Taipei.

Honestly at this point its nitpicking, because the place is so lovely, but I wish there was a purified water dispenser so you could fill up on cold (or hot) water when you want. They do have boiled water in the kitchen and provide water bottles in the rooms, though :)

Cosy hotel run by a kind, well-organised small team. Paul and Chen, managers, and the excellent cleaner, are all onto it. They can arrange airport pick up, which is super convenient. I stayed in two different rooms - my room by the street was slightly noisy but it’s interesting to see the local life outside. The rooms at the back are quieter but some don’t have big windows - so depends on your priorities. Best of all this is not a chain! Come for local vibes. I got a great impression of Taipei from staying here, and the neighbourhood is fascinating.

Keep in mind some rooms are small (as you can see on the site) and also note the windows. There is no overnight reception, but the check in system is smooth (especially with pick up if arriving at night).

The room was perfectly sized for a solo traveler. It was clean and cozy. Toiletries were provided along with some tea bags and an electric kettle. I was on the 3rd floor but water pressure was good and the water temperature was consistent, unlike in the hotel I stayed at prior. The hotel is situated in a relatively quiet part of town but is walking distance from the Dadaocheng dock which was one of my favorite parts of the city. Dihua Old Street is also a stone's throw away. There's a bus station just around the corner.

I didn't mind carrying my luggage up the stairs to the 3rd floor but it might be a problem for some people. I don't think there was an elevator. The door does not have a deadbolt or chain lock from inside. As a lone female traveler I would've felt safer with one.

Nestled in a traditional district, this accommodation occupies a characterfully aged building that immediately transports you to another era. As my cousin aptly observed, it bears a striking resemblance to her mother's apartment from decades past – there's something wonderfully nostalgic about the whole experience. Let's be honest about the room size – it's compact. The space has been cleverly designed with an elevated bed to maximize every square inch, which works brilliantly for solo travelers. The interior finishing is exceptional, with every element thoughtfully chosen to evoke the charm of bygone days. Despite the building's age, the space is impeccably clean – a testament to the owner's dedication to maintaining high standards. The design captures that "good old days" atmosphere perfectly, creating an authentic vintage experience that feels genuine rather than contrived. Practical Considerations: there's no elevator, so you'll need to navigate narrow stairs with your luggage. The owner was clearly attentive to my booking detailsl, which suggests they're conscious of potential accessibility issues. If you're traveling with large suitcases or have mobility concerns, this might not be the ideal choice. The front desk is not 24 hours.

The owner was incredibly kind and accommodating, even helping us switch rooms last minute without any hassle. He was always prompt in responding to our questions and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. When our mom fell ill, he offered helpful suggestions and even volunteered to pick up lunch for us, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The property itself was clean, cozy, and conveniently located, but the warm hospitality made the experience truly special.

There wasn’t much to dislike. If I had to pick something, I’d say the rooms were on the smaller side, but the overall charm and excellent service more than made up for it.

I like how the hotel staff are all friendly and helpful, especially Paul who instantly gave me recommendations on where to go for places to eat the moment I got to the hotel. They clean the room daily. I was also given a box of Japanese pancake during the New Year, which was thoughtful. The most noteworthy thing they did for me was when they made sure I got on to a taxi to the Airport MRT because I had a really early flight back to Manila. Paul went to the hotel really early just to assist me with my luggage and the taxi.

The hotel is what I expected it to be.

Great location. Tidy room. Good atmosphere with good lighting. Staff available limited times but accommodating. Many toiletries provided though we don’t tend to use these things. Great value(had window room with double).

Mostly great. Minor suggestions for bathroom. Has separate burning hot and freezing cold faucets with no stopper to blend in the bowl. Providing a stopper would conserve water too. Shower is not enclosed so water can splash floor and toilet. Would be helpful to provide a separate extra cloth to wipe surfaces if necessary. Fingers can brush netting next to stairway handrail, fingers could get caught.

The decor is super cute - they've really put thought into making the space feel special and stylish. Do note that it's up one flight of stairs, so keep that in mind if you have heavy luggage (though totally manageable). Check-in was a breeze with such friendly staff who went the extra mile by recommending some fantastic dinner spots nearby. Really appreciated that local insight! The room itself was very cute and cozy with a nice window that opens to let in fresh air and natural light. While the bathroom is definitely on the compact side, the shower pressure was excellent - always a pleasant surprise in budget accommodations! The bed is on the firmer side, which might not be everyone's preference, but I still found it comfortable and had no trouble sleeping well each night. Location-wise, it's perfect - centrally located and makes exploring the area super convenient. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option with charm and character, I'd highly recommend this place. It proves you don't have to spend a fortune to have a delightful stay with all the essentials done right. Perfect for travellers who prioritise location and charm over luxury amenities!

Nothing

The cool, ran-down look of this hotel is all for show; in reality the room was very, very clean - probably the cleanest hotel I've stayed in this whole year! (And I travel a lot.) The longer-haired receptionist was also brilliant - he had kindly carried my bag all the way upstairs for me and even gave me an adapter, when it turned out my "universal" adapter didn't actually fit Taiwanese sockets. It's also an easy walk away from the Airport train terminal and close to one of Taipei's many night markets. I did even walk to Ximending and back one evening - which was a bit of a long walk, but definitely possible. So, it is really quite central.

The room was extremely compact - so much so that I had a bit of a hard time figuring out where to lay down and open my bag. So, if you're traveling with big luggage, prepare for some difficulty (there's also no elevator). Also, while the location is central, you have to walk about 15 minutes to reach the nearest MTR station, which is a bit far. The mattresses are also quite hard - I sleep on my side and had to keep turning over at night so my hips wouldn't get sore. This is a fairly common problem for me in SE Asia, though, and the bedding was good otherwise.

Excellent location! - an easy walk to Dihua Street shops, food, etc and the Nixhia night market. Staff was friendly and the neighborhood got nice & quiet at night. Bed was very comfy! Rooms cleaned daily as needed. Internet and heat/AC worked great. A few narrow steps upstairs to the room required, it didn't bother me/not an issue.

just an observation: The room worked great for me, as a solo traveler. 2+ people and the small room could get a little harder to move around in. For me it was perfect.
