Dont ever stay here if you are considering an early checkin, a late checkout or if the breakfast is important to you
Pros:

The location is supposedly good, but honestly you dont need to stay in Ximending

Cons:

The staff, terrible. I arrived 7am, asked politely for an early checkin cause my wife was very tired. I even wanted to pay, but they hold us until 3pm sharp, and not only us. Guess what? Big line at 3pm

Breakfast was also terrible. Ive been to Asia over 10 times, this was the worst hotel breakfast I have ever had. Bad western choices, bad asian choices. Just awful.

Dont ever stay here if you are considering an early checkin, a late checkout or if the breakfast is important to you

Great location and memorable design — comfortable for a short stay of one or two nights, but
Pros:

The location was excellent, with many great cafés, shops, and interesting places within easy walking distance. The breakfast was very tasty and felt quite unique compared to typical hotel offerings, which made the experience more memorable. I also really appreciated the distinctive interior design — it gave the hotel a special character.

Cons:

At times the staff seemed somewhat overwhelmed by the number of guests, and it felt like having more team members on duty could help ease the pressure and improve the overall experience. The biggest issue for me was the lack of proper windows or the possibility to open them. We stayed in two different rooms: in one, the window was facing outside, but it was covered and could not be opened to let in any fresh air. The absence of natural daylight made the space feel cramped and slightly disorienting. In the other room, there were window-like structures only.

Pros:

住的都還行 也回訪多次

Cons:

憑什麼 你們怕被客人放鳥 就要先行信用卡扣款
也不告知已經扣款（連一個訊息也沒有）
導致入住時2次付款 詢問櫃台人員妳卻只回覆
哦 因為你選擇的是入住付款 怕被客人放鳥
所以先扣款 沒有發訊息是因為人手不足
但是人手不足 也不是我的問題
只能說這次的體驗 不是很好是懶得可以

Ganz okay
Pros:

Die Lage war gut und der Preis war sehr günstig.

Cons:

Das zugewiesene Zimmer verfügte über keine Fenster, und die Temperaturregelung der Klimaanlage war nicht funktionsfähig, was häufig zu einer zu niedrigen Raumtemperatur führte. Des Weiteren wurden erhebliche Mängel in der Sauberkeit und Instandhaltung festgestellt, darunter zahlreiche Flecken an den Wänden und in der Duschkabine sowie teilweise abgelöste Wandverkleidungen. Die Schalldämmung des Zimmers war unzureichend, wodurch Trittschall und Gespräche aus dem Flur deutlich wahrnehmbar waren.
