    Room (and hotel overall) were a bit smaller than expected, and the bathroom was very cramped, but for two people it was fine.

    Location was good. Was close to MRT station. Didn't explore the nearby area too much, but the temple seemed neat.

    Room was small but that seems normal for the city.

    Reasonably priced room within 2 blocks of a MRT and night market. Clean with very friendly, helpful staff.

    The communication, i had to write them on facebook ( as in find their page online and write) so that they give me information about self check in as i was arriving late and the reception was not open after 10 pm. In the end worked out without any problems.

    The location, it’s small but compact room with everything you need. The view out of the window, when you take your morning coffee in bed is unique.

    Minimalistic dream design with dissapointing staff

    Ideas for improvement -staff at reception doesn't speak English and is not very attentive/interactive when guests are entering/leaving the lobby. Training necessary! -room is so small that there is almost no space for unfolding a single small suitcase. Some rack or similar design hack would be helpful.

    First impression -right next to Longshan temple subway station -beautiful building, minimalist lobby design Check-in -ok Room -amazing design which satisfies every true minimalist soul -everything Clean and neat -comfy bed and well working shower -quiet Check-out -contactless

    Very small. The girl receptionist was rude and really should not be working in customer service. We arrived and she was yelling at an old lady (not hotel guest) in front of the hotel about something. Then there was no greeting no friendliness. The room was clean but very very small - the sink was right by the front door and then the bed! Smallest room I’ve ever stayed in, for aud $400 a night! Not worth it in my view.

    Clean and the guy at the reception was very helpful and polite.

    I had some trouble running the AC but this is probably because I couldn’t read the instructions in Mandarin.

    The rooms were clean and tidy and had lots of toiletries. Location was good and close to the metro.

    The room was compact so if you have a big luggage, there's hardly space to walk around. I wish there were more restaurant choices in the area but since it's near the MRT station, it was very easy to get around Taipei and eat elsewhere.

    The room was tiny and compact but very well designed in a modern style. I liked that it was very clean and new-looking. The bed and linens were comfortable and the aircon was quiet. The staff that we encountered was friendly and helped us with our questions. The location was excellent being behind the beautiful Longshan Temple, near the MRT station and a night market (although not the best one but at least with fruit vendors that sell sugar apple and guava). Despite the number of tourists going to the temple, the room was quiet.

    The room is very small. If you have luggage (like we did) you will need to step over it to get around. There’s just enough floor space to open it. The elevator is also extremely small. Again, if you have luggage, you will need to make multiple trips to get your luggage up to the room. I believe it is meant to carry one person at a time - if you’re claustrophobic you will struggle. The size of the room is specified in the description, but the pictures do not quite capture how small it is. WiFi also does not reach the room. We sat next to the door to get a more consistent signal. Overall, we were disappointed and did not think it was worth the price.

    Nice location near to Longshan Temple and MRT. Bathroom is quite nice, and shower water pressure is great.

    It was my 2nd stay at Monka Hotel. I love it for the design, cleanliness, comfortable bed, location in a nice area, very close to metro station, it’s very convenient. Extra points for great bed and beautifully smelling toiletries.

    Staff members aren’t very approachable. Most of the time they don’t talk to you nor even greet you. Mini lift. The staircases are too steep and dangerous to climb.

    Nice location. Amenities are available and pretty comprehensive.
