Loved this immaculate hotel which is in a remodeled commercial building. Nice staff, several breakfast options, great location for walking to Shennong Street, Hayashu Department Store, Garden St. Night Market, and more. I would only have wished for better coffee; a Nespresso machine would have made our stay perfection.

Excellent hotel - rooms are clean and modern, breakfast was delicious and staff was helpful. Since there was no iron in my room, they lent me a steamer. Location in Central West District is good for walkability to Shennong Street and Wusheng Night Market - 15 min walk and bus ride to the train station though
