Experience of the stay
The hotel was very conveniently located near Taipei Station and within walking distance of Ximending.
It seems to be a renovated old building, but it's very stylish and clean.
The room itself wasn't spacious, but it was sufficient for two nights as I would be out sightseeing during the day.
Amenities are probably part of Taipei's eco-initiatives; there weren't any supplies other than the provided shampoo, treatment, body soap, and hand soap.
You must bring your own loungewear and disposable slippers.
(Slippers and toothbrushes were available for cheap at the front desk.)
I received two bottles of water daily.
There's an outlet and USB port next to the bed.
Moreover, the male staff at the front desk was very helpful. He spoke English clearly and slowly, which made it easy to understand.
Around the hotel, there are eateries (no issues for meals day or night), massage parlors, convenience stores, and pharmacies—everything you need.
I could have breakfast at Ximending, go back to rest, and then head out for sightseeing, which was very helpful since I was exhausted from the heat and humidity.
Experiences during the trip
I wanted to eat seasonal fruits, so I searched and found a small fruit market, vegetable shop, and cut fruit stalls within walking distance from the hotel.
The lychees with stems were shockingly delicious.
Getting to Jiufen was easy; I took a direct bus from a stop about a 7-minute walk away, and thoroughly enjoyed the magical Jiufen in the evening.
