Location is good, with convenience store in the same building, but that's the only saving grace. Note that this review is only about the room with private bathroom, not the dorm room or about the staff, who are perfectly professional, and helped to store bags after checkout and provide towels to deal with the flooding problem.
The private room with bathroom (717) has two fatal flaws: The shower area floods - the water tends to flow out into the room due to both a slow drainage problem and an engineering flaw (there is a short step between the shower area and the bedroom which should hold the water in a pool but there is a crack where the water just seeps through). Don't expect to have more than one person shower within 6 hours. The advertised wifi doesn't work well in the room, which is a deal breaker. It's impossible to connect to "TaipeiInn-7F" and you only get 2 bars on "709", which is definitely not enough to work remotely.
I wouldn't book this hotel again after this experience. If you're booking a private room or need to work remotely from your room I would advise you to look elsewhere.
Btw: at the beginning of check-in, the receptionist will ask guests to leave a 5-star review on Google Maps to extend their checkout time by one hour - I suspect the reviews are...
Read moreWhat more else can I say?? It's just a few minutes walk to Taipei Main Station closest exit/entrance is Z2 just a straight away at the entrance and past the (temporary) shopping stalls.
Anyway it's all just a few walk from everything!!!
Front of the entrance is a department store, across the road there's Uniqlo, NET shop, Daiso, Japanese sushi, McDonald's, Starbucks, and other cafes. A few walk and turn from either left or right are massage salons, Bank of Taiwan, local cafes you can have your breakfast, and many more.
Even if the room has no window, it's still great place to stay. Although walls may be thin you can hear someone's taking a shower on the next room but still it's still recommendable. Before I requested for room cleaning, the toilet room smelled a bit moldy and after cleaning it's great. Towels are also provided and there's shampoo and bath soap already in the toilet. There's also a mini fridge, hair blower, and a secret room 🤭.
Overall my stay here in Taipei Inn is great. Will definitely...
Read moreThis is my first stay at Taipei Inn, and I love how it’s a stone’s throw away from Taipei Main Station. Exits M6, M8 and Z2 are simply 3 mins walk away. Booked the double room with no window, and it’s great value for a solo traveller. For 2 people the room might be a tad bit too small as the floor has just enough space to open up a single big luggage. It will be a challenge to open up 2 big luggages on the floor at the same time. Room is clean, and I have my own ensuite bathroom- towels and shower gel/shampoo are provided. Refill your water bottle at the lobby on L6, this is where you can get hot water too. 24 hour reception is available, and amenities in the room include a TV, AC and a mini fridge. You can buy food the moment you go downstairs, this area is filled with tons of shops and restaurants. One thing to note is that it’s hard to sleep in late as house keeping starts vacuuming the rooms at 9+am. The location and price is fantastic, will...
