Room basically never vacuum . Full of thick dusts on all the metal railing , lamp light etc . when u on the light you can see all the dust flying in the air .

10/10 Exceptional

I love this hotel very much. Walkable distance from airport expreas station, Beimen station and Ximen station. Morning buffet was amazing. I stayed 3 nights and they served same meal but it was ok. I wish they add more vegetable on ths salad. I stayed in the smallest room but good size to open my suitecase and hung clothing. There are two shower heads in bathroom and rain forest shower was so pleasant. Washing machine with vending machine was helpful too. Strage service after check out is useful.

Cigarette smoke smell in the room
2 our of the 5 nights there was heavy smell of smoke. Complained to front desk but they did not do anything. Just sprayed room airfreshener which did not resolve the issue.

Overall good
Overall good stay. Good points: 1) reception staff Howard and Chris were exceptionally good. 2) rooms good size 3) good ice cream shop 4) close to airport MRT Down points: 1) walls a bit thin and can hear noisy neighbours ( plenty of them ) 2) ppl congregate and talk loudly in corridors outside room at 0800 onwards in morning Summary: I used to stay at another hotel chain but now I will definitely strongly consider this next time I stay in TPE .
