Large rooms w big bathroom and tub. Decor is a bit dated. The biz center is a small side room off the lobby w 2 chairs. They took off the door to the room so it is noisy when people walk by. They have a huge downstairs dining area w a side conf room. But they wont let anyone use it after breakfast! Also the AC was too cold

Waikokoa Hotel is a bit outdated but still a very good option for a stay if you don't mind the long walking distance to the MRT and a rather disappointing breakfast. Rooms are pretty spacious and good value for money. Beds are slightly softer than usually in Asia but very comfortable. I liked the large bathroom which included a whirlpool, although it's lights were broken - but the main function worked perfectly. Be aware that rooms are not very soundproof. To the street it was okay, but from the corridors you'll hear lots of noise. Cleanliness of the room was good, although some corners still were a bit dusty. Room cleaning was working all day until the evening, so the room was made up even if I left late. They brought a "fruit basket" every day (which consisted of one banana and some crackers). Breakfast is included for free but I only tried it twice. I found it to be pretty disappointing in quality and quantity, so I rather chose to pay for outside food. While MRT is rather far away (15-20 minutes walk), there are lots of good restaurants around the hotel. That's a big plus. Staff was friendly throughout the stay. Unfortunately they don't have any laundry facilities but will tell you where to find the nearest coin laundry. Overall a pleasant stay and good value for money. Only the distance to MRT unfortunately might make me think twice about staying again.

The property seems dated but well maintained. Room is clean and spacious. Stuff are courteous and helpful. Location is safe, but not the most convenient. About 5 minutes walk to the main boulevard where you can catch buses and MRT. The included breakfast has both western-styled and traditional Chinese selections which I enjoyed. In my opinion, it is a good value in this area.

We booked a room for three people (2 queen beds) and it turns out their only rooms like this are dark, stuffy, interior, windowless rooms. The room had an overpowering stench of mildew. They offered to allow us to move to another room with two queen beds, but they were all the same. I had planned to work and take conference calls at the hotel's advertised "business center", but this turned out to be a closet-sized room with two desks practically on top of one another which were nearly always in use by other people. There's a real conference room downstairs, but I was forbidden from using that outside of the hours of 11am - 5pm. The front desk staff went from being needlessly unhelpful to outright rude. Thank you Expedia for helping us cancel our remaining nights. I would never stay here again. Taipei has so many clean, windowed, and honest hotels to choose from on Expedia. We got burned by choosing one whose listing does a pretty good job of hiding that they are none of these things.

The rooms are large, the staff are professional and very helpful. The building and decor are a bit dated, although reasonably well maintained. The location is a bit away from the heart of Zhongshan, the MRT station and other conveniences. But given the price, a good value.

Price was excellent. Room was spacious for three, even without a window. Very clean hotel. The breakfast was also great - congee and a variety of additional dishes(veggies, fried eggs, toast and buns) and an espresso machine. The train station is about an 8 minute walk away, easy for these NYC tourists. We would recommend.

Cosy and comfortable rooms. Near to PX supermarket and convenience stores, no worries if we need any toiletries, snacks and other basic necessities. Walkable to 2 metro stations, Songjiang Nanjing station and Nanjing Fuxing station, for you to reach most of the night markets and tourist spots in Taipei.

We stayed at this property for a week. The room is spacious and the staffs are friendly However, the room itself has this humid moldy smell or smoking smell (even this is a non-smoking hotel), although we had changed room and have two humidifiers in the room, it couldn't get rid of the smells. The facility is rusty and old. The worst part was we had bed bug bites occurred during the stay. My husband noticed some itching around the arms, we thought it was some allergic reaction. Since it takes a few days for symptoms of bed bugs to develop, we weren't sure until we checked out of the hotel where the bites become noticeable red, swollen and itchy. And I also had one or two bites on my waist area. We will never come back to this hotel, especially traveling a toddler.
