Hotels near eslite spectrum (Ximen Store) in Taipei

The cleanliness of the hotel room is such a disappointment. The bathroom wall grouting & silicon was moldy, and spider webs were in the room. The TV and aircon vent were super dusty. The aircon, even off, was extremely cold. The overall cleanliness is terrible, with noticeable dust accumulating in several areas. It was disappointing and not up to the hygiene standards one would expect from a hotel room. To make matters worse, the cleanliness issues persisted even after the room was supposedly cleaned. The bathroom grouting remained moldy, spider webs lingered, and the attendant neglected to vacuum away the hairs on the floor. The bed has insects, indicating a lack of thorough cleaning. This consistent neglect of hygiene standards throughout my stay was disappointing and unacceptable. This lack of attention to detail further emphasized the subpar cleanliness standards, contributing to an unsatisfactory stay.

The location is close to Ximen night market (walk less than 5 minutes) but not too close to hear the noise from the market. Staff are super helpful.we leave the luggage at the hotel on date before check in and after check out as our flight is late at night. We get back to pick up the luggage and they kept it next to their counter and we feel secured. The room clean and well function,bathrooms also clean and the water very stable.

The service was pretty standard. Half hearted average service. Breakfast was horrible though. Better option to not just get breakfast and go elsewhere. They could have made the price cheaper and not have breakfast. Lol...

The room is not too big but just right. Not nosiy. Staff will friendly and provide whatever information you need. Breakfast is easy to find when you walk out of the hotel. Family mart is just opp of the hotel. Location wise is convenient

The rooms does not seem to be sound proof can hear customers talking along the corridor or opening the doors. Also there not much hooks inside the bathroom. Location is really good except the stairs to caesar mall, very inconvenient for tourists with luggage. Overall still a good experience

Basics are satisfied - cool adjustable Aircon, good WiFi, clean room, hot showers with bathtub. Loved the toilet seat bidet. Hotel is close to MRT station but not much amenities nearby. Seems to be a elderly neighbourhood. Room seems to be is powered using sensor so if you leave the room for some time, the power including air con will turn off by itself, though the air con continues throughout my sleep.

Love the location which is at the Ximending area and in front of the subway exit, convenient to roam till late at night. However disappointed upon finding out the room we stay due to the lack of details upon booking. It was advertised as room with window but not able to open. But in fact it is a small window (around 60cm? Width) facing the next building window hence need to close it all the time. Perhaps it would be better to know ahead that this is a room without window or view to avoid disappointment. Bed is firm and size of the room is good. Design of toilet and shower area is good but the choice of tiles could be better to avoid mold which is apparent at the shower area. Breakfast spread is decent and healthier choice kind.

We stayed here for 4 nights. Before commenting on the hotel, we wanted to share some of our own experiences with those who travelled to this hotel on their own. We arrived at the airport at about 5pm and went to the Flying Dog Bus counter as suggested by the Forum members. Based on the information we found, the bus was supposed to take us to the hotel or close enough to the hotel. But instead, we were told they would not take us to the hotel door until after six o'clock. Before 6 o'clock, they will only put guests on the designated bus route and then take a taxi to the location they are going to. In short, if you arrive at the airport before 5:30, then it is recommended to take the Guoguang bus. After the next time at the terminal (Taipei Central Station), take the MRT to Ximending. Pros: -The location is good. It takes only a few minutes to walk to the nearest MRT Ximending Station. -All rooms have free Internet access. Try using the wireless connection. If you don't have a network cable yourself, you can borrow one from the front desk. - Basic supplies: hairdryer, kettle, free bottled water and tea - very clean Cons - hotel entrance hidden in a narrow alley and easy to miss. Just look for the World Express pastry shop on the main road. There are huge neon lights on the top side of the hotel, which is useful when looking for it from a distance. - Shower and bathtub are integrated. As a business hotel, we expect them to install a shower curtain, but maybe they think it will cost too much. So you can imagine the mess after each shower. -No useful maps available. Those maps that could be used only marked the subway line, and there was no address information or anything like that. - the lighting in the room was poor. It was too dark for ladies who wanted to make up. -Close to a government building, so if you want to walk around naked in the room, it is recommended to close the curtains. -The front desk clerk doesn't seem to know much about the attractions. -Breakfast coupons are issued at the front desk every morning, dining at the fast food restaurant on the main road, just at the exit of the narrow alley. There are about four or five packages to choose from, but the two must be the same (for both of us)! That is so stupid! The food is not good either.

Had a pleasant stay at the Inhouse hotel. The location was perfect. Just outside the hotel are several shops and restaurants. The Ximen MRT Station is a few meters away. The room we got was the elite room. The room was not so big but it had a nice bathroom. The room did have an herbal smell when we first entered but later on disappeared. The bed and pillows were quite comfortable. Breakfast came free with the room but there weren’t much choices.

Location is good as near to mrt xiao nan gang station. Near to Carrefour as well. Clean and nice…. My room view can see Taipei 101… Oh ya the hotel is along the green line
