In spite of getting a non-smoking room, we could smell smoke in the whole hotel floor and even in the room itself. Listing photos did not match as the actual room is smaller than expected. On one of the nights, the fire alarm (together with broadcast asking us to evacuate) was activated when we were sleeping. We had to frantically pack our valuables and dashed out for safety. Luckily it was a false alarm and everything lasted 15 mins before we returned. Hard to get back to sleep after this event.
During initial check-in phase, host was also not very welcoming of us to deposit our baggage before actual check-in. As our dates booked were near new year celebration, we understand the surge in accommodation price is inevitable, but this accommodation is definitely not worth the value we paid.
Mitigating factors were merely the ease of check-in and close, walkable location to Taipei Main Station.
