差
Pros:

附切的餐廳和酒吧

Cons:

洗澡排水塞了，水流出到房間。電話到櫃枱安排人維修要追幾次。修好了又要再追幾次房務來擦地和換毛巾… 結果因為要趕出門所以只好自己出房找人要髒毛巾先把水吸一吸。然後出去時也通知櫃枱要打掃… 結果晚上回去也沒有打掃，第二天，因為很晚出門，出去時也特意去跟房務說可以打掃了。晚上回來又是沒有打掃。自己打去櫃枱找人來，結果問我毛巾收不收？別人用過的臭毛巾呢。很失望，真的很失望！

Will never stay in the hotel again.
Pros:

The only good thing about the place is the location

Cons:

Was a terrible experience. They gave me a smelly room, full of dampness and bad smell. When I complained, one of the staff accompanied me and agreed so they changed the room. Around midnight the smell appeared in the second room and therefore I could not fall asleep almost the entire night.

The issue is that I passed through the corridor and could smell the same thing in other rooms being cleaned at the time.

The hotel offers good value for money, with the only major drawback being the poor soundproofing.
Pros:

The hotel offers good value for money overall. The room size is decent, and the facilities provided are more than adequate for the price paid.

Cons:

The soundproofing at this hotel is very poor. You can clearly hear conversations from neighboring rooms, and even guests snoring can be heard through the walls. This is the biggest downside of the hotel.

Additionally, when the air conditioner is set to a low temperature, it produces a constant dripping or water-droplet sound throughout the night. This can be quite disruptive, especially for light sleepers.

Other than these issues, the overall stay was satisfactory.

Pros:

The hotel is well situated within the Ximending area.

Cons:

Reception Staff- especially the old male staffs were extremely unhelpful and unfriendly; not welcoming at all.
The layout of the bathroom was quite interesting and you have a sink where you cannot wash your face because of the awkward layout.
