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.
