It's a pretty solid room located right across from Shilin Market, with two 7-11s and a COSMED just steps away. The double lift is a huge plus!
However, the windows are not sound reducing, or perhaps even fully sealed, so loud that the occasional events happening outside, from temple celebrations down the street to construction, can be heard clear as day. The wind howling is fierce! No sounds from the night market though, nor below foot traffic. They're not insulated either so on cold nights the room is extra chilly.
The bed is large and comfortable, with extra bedding provided underneath for those cold nights. A small mini fridge is included in the room, as well as tv, aircon, and an electric kettle. Outside is a view overlooking the market and the greenery beyond, with pigeons coming to visit on the regular for company.
Being near Shilin meant an abundance of food choices and late night eateries. It is close to the MRT station.
There's good privacy and the contact is responsive and checking in and out was simple, flexible, and contact less.
It's a smoke free place, but sometimes the neighbors would not comply and one must inform the contact. (Not a reflection of the place, but rather what one should do.) Additionally, no matter how clean you kept the area, I had a small issue with a handful of ants that kept spawning and climbing in the water kettle or skittering around the top of the mini fridge.
The shower is a bit awkward to get in and out of with it set a bit high and having a tiny washing machine on the side to block the way. But the washing machine is super convenient and hangers are provided.
Overall, worth the convenience, price, and location.
