Very nice hotel with a lovely, clean, and modern room. It is on a short walking distance (10-15m) from both Central Park and Formosa Boulevard, as well as the Liuhe night market, and the area feels safe at night. The only thing I had a bit of trouble with was the very bright airconditioning display at night, but I put a small bit of cardboard in front of it with washi tape in the end and that did the trick. I have no doubt the staff would have been able to help, as they were very kind. They also helped me operate the laundry machines at the laundry room on the 9th floor. Slept like a log in this hotel, can 100% recommend.

It’s rare to find an ocean view hotel for a reasonable price, but this hotel has it! We stayed on the top floor with the balcony overlooking the ocean and it was amazing. A beautiful view to wake up to. Highly recommend!

The hotel is very dated, the room I stayed is very clean with very limited furniture. The bathroom is small but they provide all the necessary items and will replace towels every day.

Interesting place

Stayed as a couple. Interior design is special. The room starts to look a bit worn out. Good space for luggages. Loved the free snacks/cup noodles by the reception/elevator. It gives you the opportunity to try some snacks you do not usually buy.

clean, spacious, safe

location wise, it walkable to both formosa boulevard station & central park station. room is spacious n clean overall, comfortable stay. I liked that it quiet plc. I noted the coffee table n desk showed sign of wear and tear, theres even burnt mark n stained on coffee table. I guess thats the drawback of using white furnitures. most hotels I stayed have got a safe, however, there isn’t one in this hotel.

還好，不如預期⋯

隔間很差，隔壁半夜回來，開門、洗澡、開電視都很吵。 房間應是二張單人床合併的一張大床，但，合併後的地板並沒有清潔，光腳走二隻腳都很髒。 衛浴的架子上面也都是灰塵⋯ 不過一樓櫃檯女生的服務人員態度還不錯⋯
