Xihu Trips (flight + hotel)

The property is very nice and warm for visitors. It has an activity room in the basement. My kids loves the free drinking and massage chair. The location is convenient to many sightseeings vis MTR. It is walkable to the NingXia night market.

Overall a not a bad hotel. Laundry requires a fee, and I wish they would show it on the website. There is only one washer and the dryer isn’t very good. But the location is near a busy street with a lot of stores.

The location was very convenient.

Property not as advertised. First this is not really a hotel but an inn. It occupies two floors in a Commercial building with two or three other “inns,” a medical clinic, and a Japan tourism company. Had I known this property was an inn, I would have never booked. I will say the highlight and saving grace for this accommodation is the location. It’s very convenient and less than half a block away from the Main Taipei Station. Plenty of restaurants and shopping steps away. McDonald’s is on the first floor of the adjacent building. Now to discuss the room. There were obvious foundation issues as there were several long cracks on the ceilings. The bathroom had mold and in bad shape. Water would leak when showering even with the door closed. There is also a large step about 10 inches high to enter the bathroom. Definitely a trip hazard. The room amenities were very minimal. No lotion, hair conditioner, and only a small above the fridge to hang your clothes. We ran out of toilet paper every other day and had to request more from the front desk. I also didn’t have enough towels and when I asked for two more body towels, the staff made a big deal about providing additional towels and wrote down the extra they gave me. Seems inventory is a very big deal to them. No iron in the room and had to borrow from front desk and was told there is only one steamer for the entire hotel so I needed to return in a few hours. If you’re from the States, this place is equivalent to Motel 6.

Great hotel for a couple of days. Clean and good breakfast Staff very nice and helpful Close to Green /Blue metro lines and lots of shopping and food options out the door
