The hotel has a nice lobby and an open area for dining , which is great for people who are claustrophobic . Although abit more crowded in the weekend , its not overwhelming ||For breakfast, guests who enjoy porridge and the related condiments would love it ! Those looking for western style breakfast would be disappointed . ||The welcome drink was abit so so and although offered for two nights , it was for one drink per room which don’t make a lot of sense as there are two to a room usually. You could ask to have the welcome drinks for two night packed into one night so your roommate could come along . In this regard the hotel should be more generous, to allow each room two drinks for two nights . Anyway, the cocktail drink offered wasn’t that memorable. This is an area of improvement ||For the service desk, staff members are generally friendly. Special mention for the staff by the name of Ona. When we enquired for the nearest hospital, Ona proactively asked the reason for us wanting to go to the hospital A &E. When told that my fellow traveller had an accidental fall when she was about to take a bath in the hotel bathroom and hurt her shoulder she suggested that we visit the orthopaedic clinic opposite the hotel ! This actually saved us lots of time and we could get specialist care immediately vs going to the hospital||We would suggest the hotel put anti slip strip on the floor door frame of the shower room as the surface made of metal is indeed very slippery when wet . The anti slip strip should also be applied to the bath room floor which is slippery due to the type of material used although an anti slip Mat was provided .|My friend who fell said she slipped and fell when she stepped on the floor door frame Also, the bath tubdid not have any handle making the climb in very precarious for older folks||In terms of room size, the hotel’s standard room is surprisingly big . We appreciate that it has a sofa and a table which comes in handy for friends to enjoy Taiwanese night market snacks or snacks from the convenience stores near the hotel ( about 5 minutes walk) . The bathroom came with both a shower room and bathroom tub , which is generous for hotel of its price range. The hotel room has free drinks and snacks but not replenished daily even though we stayed there for three nights - such items should be replenished even if the guests did not consume it as we paid the same room rate and every day should be treated as a new stay||Location wise it’s not too bad but it’s not near the major department store like Sogo and quite far from Costco. There are two convenience stores around the hotel and a night market about 10 mins taxi ride away . Around the hotel , there are quite a number of foot massage parlour but the most decent one is called '湯村.slightly more expensive but a lot cleaner and more privacy than all other around the hotel . Guest of this hotel gets 10 percent off. The hotel should collaborate more and obtain more discount for your guests staying there ||For those who want to be right at the heart of shopping centres should look at the Splendour hotel , which is located opposite Sogo . From this hotel , it’s about 30 minutes walk to Sogo using Google map . There is also a very good local steak house call 赤鬼 around 10-15 mins walk from the hotel ||Didn’t try the hotel gym and pool so can’t comment||One more thing, the hotel is not generous when it comes to checkout time . It only allow a 30 mins grace after which you would be charged twd700 per hour. For guest who stays for more than a night, I though that’s not very generous of the hotel - an area of improvement to consider ||All in all it’s still a value for money stay at the hotel
