Malaysia2 ReviewsWonderfulThe cleaner, I mean we appreciate that the cleaner has done room keeping, however, he or she was quite loud and shocked us from our morning sleep. Wish they could keep it quiet during the next booking.
Check in was smooth and easy, room was superb and comfy. Location was great too, near Taichung Railway Station which was just five minutes away.

Finland76 Reviews9 helpful votes“Top location & bed!”The noise proofing isn’t very good as many have mentioned. And some of the surfaces were a bit dirty and banged up. The windows could use a good cleaning and there were some long black hairs on the bathroom floor (I’m blonde).
Fantastic location really close to the station, right opposite Miyahara dessert shop! The reception gave me a 200 yuan coupon to use there and I had the most fantastic ice cream sundae for breakfast. : ) The bed was also really comfortable and clean, and I enjoyed the very urban view from the huge windows. Lots of light!

Located close to Taichung TRA station, it is easy to get to. Reception is on the first floor above ground (in Australia that's L1, here it's 2F!) so take the stairs, or the lift. The lady that checked me in was excellent, she gave me a map and a few sights to visit. The room had everything I needed and a great view over the canal (there's also one from the bathroom but you may want to close that window blind). The bed was super comfy and I liked the power outlet being close by. The common area next to reception was good to unwind if you needed more space or free coffee. Overall, very happy and would stay again.

Singapore1 review“Though the rooms were small, we still enjoyed our stay. We will come back again.”The rooms were pretty small and so it was difficult to open big luggages. The false walls will shake whenever another guests leaves their room and the door slams behind them. It's pretty loud since the doors are all so close together.
Location was convenient and staff were friendly. There was no breakfast but we understood that. The entire hotel was pretty clean.
