TANGO INN Taipei Zhongshan — Hotel in Taipei

知道為什麼這麼多五星評價嗎？因為都是憑著小恩小惠洗出來的。

房間規定下午三點才可以入住，中午十一點前要checkout，不可以因為任何原因延遲退房，每一個小時要300台幣，所以如果你想中午十二點退房而不想付錢，前台就會不斷勸說你寫評價，而且一定要五星。或者可以準時退房，填寫好評拿一瓶不值錢的自家製茶葉。旅客很難避免收拾東西晚了，或者行程配合不到而延遲，這樣沒有彈性而且強迫性的規定已經很令人卻步。

當初看了很多好評所以才選擇這間酒店，豈料都被這些虛假評價給騙了。硬件方面，酒店離最近的地鐵站有10分鐘的距離，如果加上等紅綠燈，起碼要15分鐘，而且都沒有遮掩，如果買很多東西想放一下都不可能，或者遇到台北的突發暴雨就狼狽不堪。入住後搭Uber才知道，酒店位於條通，就是《華燈初上》故事背景，原本人流比較複雜，現在活化後好像比原來安全一點，可是還是有很多酒吧，獨遊的旅客晚上不要太晚回來。

房間狹小，連行李箱都開不了，亦沒有提供行李架，如果想開行李，只能放床上。這麼小的房間，還硬要設計一個小得只能容納一個人的骯髒陽台，因為陽台是唯一的光源。

入住前看到有人反映走廊很黑，連按鈕都看不到，還想說會不會太誇張。誰知道真的很黑，像戲院關燈以後的亮度，長期陰暗的地方很容易令靈體聚集。

最後房間沒有提供洗髮液、護髮素和潤膚露，只有沐浴乳，拖鞋是薄薄的紙，不穿可能還舒服一點。衣櫃有一個落地鏡門正對著床，所以鏡子一定對著床，只能選擇對著床頭還是床位，冷氣風口正對著床頭，無論怎麼調教風口都吹得頭痛，早上起來的時候完全沒有休息好，所以第二天晚上只好把冷氣關了睡。

軟件方面，服務員的態度不專業。在Google評價看到有人寫有Netflix看，但入住兩天根本沒有manual說有，問前台才說，對啊都是要自己提出才會有。然後退房後寄存行李，聽到他們會議論顧客。

唯一可取的是房間還算乾淨，沒有發現毛髮。

Do you know why there are so many 5-star reviews? Because they were all washed out with a little favor.

The room policy states that check-in is at 3pm, and checkout is before 11am, with no exceptions allowed for late checkout. There is a fee of 300 TWD per hour for every hour past the 11am checkout time. So if you want to check out at 12pm without paying, the front desk will constantly persuade you to write a 5-star review. Or you can check out on time, fill out a good review, and get a worthless in-house tea as a reward. It's hard for travelers to avoid packing up late or not being able to match their schedule, but these inflexible and coercive rules are already very off-putting.

I originally saw a lot of good reviews, which is why I chose this hotel, only to be fooled by these false reviews. In terms of the hardware, the hotel is a 10-minute walk from the nearest MRT station, and if you factor in waiting at traffic lights, it's at least a 15-minute journey, all without any cover. If you've bought a lot of things and want to put them down for a bit, that's not possible, or if you encounter a sudden rainstorm in Taipei, you'll be in a miserable state. After checking in, I took an Uber and found out the hotel is located in a red-light district, which is the setting of the TV series "Light the Night". The area has been revitalised and seems safer than before, but there are still many bars, so solo travellers shouldn't come back too late at night.

The room is cramped, and you can't even open a suitcase, and there are no luggage racks provided, so if you want to unpack, you can only put it on the bed. In this tiny room, they still insist on designing a small and dirty balcony that can only accommodate one person, as it's the only natural light source.

Before checking in, I saw someone complain that the hallways are very dark and you can't even see the buttons. I thought they were exaggerating, but it's really that dark, like the brightness after a cinema goes dark. Prolonged darkness in a place easily attracts spiritual entities.

Finally, the room doesn't provide shampoo, conditioner, or lotion, only body wash. The slippers are thin paper, and it might be more comfortable to not wear them. The wardrobe has a full-length mirror door directly facing the bed, so the mirror is inevitably aimed at the bed, and you can only choose to face the headboard or the bed. The air conditioning vent is also aimed directly at the head of the bed, and no matter how you adjust it, the cold air blows right at you, causing a headache when you wake up in the morning. The second night, I had to turn off the air conditioning to sleep.

In terms of service, the staff's attitude is unprofessional. I saw on Google reviews that someone wrote there's Netflix, but after staying for two days, there was no manual about it, and I had to ask the front desk, who said you have to request it yourself. Then, after checking out and leaving my luggage, I overheard them discussing the customer.

The only redeeming quality is that the room is relatively clean, and I didn't...

I stayed here for more than half of my 10-day trip with my parents. Their breakfast brings great satisfaction to demanding older parents. And very clean room, incredibly quiet, even in the middle of the city. I was able to go to almost all tourist attractions at the taxi fare(around $5 US dollars). This location has convenience stores and restaurants right in front of hotel. If I come to Taiwan again, I will definitely stay here. More than anything, I was impressed by the front desk staff doing their best for guests and very professional . Highly Highly...

If you don't mind the room being a tiny bit smokey, it is alright.... I'd recommend paying a bit more (500 ntd) to get a room with a window that opens to air out the faint cigarette smell (despite it being a non-smoking hotel supposedly) - all 3 rooms I saw were like that to varying degree... It's tolerable but not ideal. The rooms all seem fine... It's no Hilton but more like a Japanese business hotel. There's a Family Mart just downstairs which is pretty convenient. Frontdesk staff...
