Second time stayed at this place. We had a different type of guest room for 4 travelers. Room was spacious enough to accommodate 4 adults and luggages. The room is clean and I think they have added more hooks and shelves for putting small things around the room.

The hotel is conveniently located right next to Taipei Main Station. I stayed in an 8-person shared room for a few hours due to a flight delay. However, if you are a light sleeper or have never stayed in a dormitory before, I would advise against the shared rooms. Guests come and go at different times, which can make it difficult to get any sleep.

Staff were friendly and helpful, and the interior was new and comfortable. The common area is quite nice for hanging out/relaxing, and seems like it would serve for getting work done, too. Shower room is shared among all genders, although I noted that there was a women-only shower on the floor below, which would be good for those who want that. The storage space was on the smaller side, which was my main complaint.
