Here is my unbiased review. I booked a business double room (though there is nothing business about the room just a slightly bigger room). The staffs were good enough and accommodating, which wasn't much a concern as you wouldn't interact much with them.
Coffee machine, good wifi, keycard access. Room's interior was modern and decent. Queen size bed, and everything typical in a boutique hotel except that there was no wardrobe but an attached clothes hanger. Basic toiletries are provided Room slippers as well. Some rooms have a bathtub, some don't. Small balcony with no view, likely for your smoking endeavors.
Daily house keeping was done promptly and towels were changed without request. TV Channels are fine, mostly asian chinese movies, or else HBO and Fox.

Overall I am satisfied. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. If you expect better, book a...

After several complains, we were finally given a new room the next day. The new room floor was not clean and washroom hot water supply not reliable. BTW, some of the rooms are located below the reception floor with unusual access. We will NEVER...

Its also good walking around streets and avenues where you may see other foreigners and even "kababayan" at the streets of Taiwan. Food is also yummy and clean as they prepare them as you order. It might be better if you have friends who are there to exchange your peso PHP to TWD. As some FX establishments are...
