Take earplugs if you are a light sleeper. ##### BTISSAM Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ireneo 2 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel is accessible to MRT Ximen Station , short walk to the station and the hotel location is perfect for travelers, it's in Ximending Area, lot's of stores to explore if you want to shop around and they also have night markets in ximending. Rooms are clean and with strong internet access. Not a fancy hotel like Marriott but a good hotel to stay if you just need a place to rest, sleep and shower for daily activities in Taipei. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/58473fd0-0938-47bd-ab27-f1a5fc59edf6-1764656931915.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cf8a4d86-3cf6-48d2-bc6d-23c08f9eed59-1764656930660.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f15b8071-8d3f-4847-891c-36eb31315006-1764656934014.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/28e13c34-d138-46bc-8bba-bebf14ab758b-1764656935373.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ireneo Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kil 9 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I love the location ##### Kil Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephanie Ly 28 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities was a great location for ximending ##### Stephanie Ly Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cody 8 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very helpful staff, clean and comfortable room, located in a nice tourist friendly area.

It's also a really short walk from all the amazing shopping and food options in the Ximending area, which meant that I was basically spoilt for choice throughout my stay. ##### Mohammed Fauzi Bin Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Daniel 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness This hotel is very clean, but the room is small and has no windows. It feels oppressive to live in it. The service staff are kind and friendly. ##### Daniel Stayed 27 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jake 14 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Whilst I understood the basement rooms would not have windows, I was expecting the lights in those rooms to be better than they turned out being; not that I wanted to stay in the room all holiday but it was very hard to see in the room or use the mirrors to get ready to go out. The breakfast buffet was great. The automated check in and out though made the experiance feel impersonal. ##### Jake Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tama goh 10 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel for the youths. I visit Taipei annually. Sometimes up to four times a year. Most of my stays are at Hotel Papa Whale. I noticed some new front desk staff were not well trained lately. The water pressure for shower were a mark different from before when they we not as strong. This weeks visit to Taipei, I checked in twice and checked out twice to visit Taichung. The rooms are consistently well kept to high standards . I will be back soon. ##### Tama goh Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Natasha 19 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice experience!

First time staying. Room and toilet are acceptable based on the price paid. Room was clean. Lift need cleaning. They have washing machine and dryer. Breakfast was different but service can be better. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B52FBBF268E227AC2D7DE78F265918D0E5948BED1745131141797.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D826939D4F763B701F46C6920FDEACA0AAB8A64D1745131137831.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A222A81C6C53E86545B4ABCEE2706033194411451745131142063.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7C1A57E591A9844787F0DCF3D7D8372042638FA31745131142815.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wesley 5 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Craft beer at Driftwood Brewing!
