"It is conveniently located by the Taipei Main Station, with downstairs nearby shops, restaurants, 7-Eleven, and Family Mart, along with Shin Kong Mitsikoshi.
Even with being a busy intersection, hotel is well sound-proofed. Traditional Japanese style older building with lots of heavy decorations.
Kind front desk who speak Japanese, Mandarin, and English. Breakfast buffet staff is punctual - keep an eye on the open hours, or they'll scoot you out.
Rooms are decently small with room to move, fun and games figuring out the light switches between the twin beds, streamlined wall storage to set luggage on. Bathroom is tidy and small.
For those with balance issues, step carefully over the high bathtub wall when entering/exiting shower with sliding door. A near-miss with wet foot on sliding bath floormat away from tub resulted in a loss of balance, and tipping over the bathtub edge when grabbing the sliding door for balance, instead of the glass more secured to wall. Perhaps future floormats with solid rubber backing or additional rubber applied to floor would be an improvement.
Location is solid 100%. Note that there is a solid concrete wall dividing the highway along the block directly in front of hotel. When approaching from the east side, across the street, requires a climb/descent on an overhead pedestrian bridge. When approaching from the west side, about 2-3 blocks away near the station, the road is divided to allow a crosswalk at street level."
