I stayed here for five nights while apartment hunting in the NTNU/Shida area.  I booked it on a whim through another site, but had serious concerns when I saw the awful ratings on tripadvisor.  I was tempted to cancel but I stuck with it because it was still a cheaper option than a private room at any hostel.

LATE CHECK IN.  The booking said that I was supposed to check in late in the afternoon (after 5PM), but my flight arrived in Taipei at 6AM.  I ran errands and then putzed around until 2PM when jet lag compelled me to finally walk over.  It was relatively easy to find the place but I discovered the hotel was actually just an apartment building, across from a temple in a quiet residential neighborhood.  There was no one to receive me, only a phone number on the gate so I was really glad I had just bought a local SIM card and that I am fluent in Mandarin.  The owner was nice and presented me with instructions regarding the code for the gate, which room I was to stay in, where the key was, when someone was to come to collect payment for the room.  But I would not recommend this place if you will not have a mobile phone in Taipei.  Not sure about the owner's English.

FACILITIES.  My room was on the 4th floor of a walk up.  It was rather small and simply decorated, but clean.  No odors, no bugs.  There were no towels provided in the bathroom, just some shampoo, body wash, toothbrushes, and a half used package of tissue paper.  No housekeeping service so you will have to empty your trash every day on the ground floor.  It was loud once during the day because of festival celebrations in the temple across the street but remained very quiet every night.  Checking out was simply leaving the key on the table.

Good location, Self-service

At first site room seemed decend. From second night on ( 4 night's on a row) our room was visited by coachroaches - EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! The stove doesn't work, they keep the brush for the toilet on the floor where you wash yourself. There is no receptionist, no one who you can turn too if you have any problem and no one speaks english! We left earlier then planed, even though we already payed all nights!
