This is a Japanese-oriented business hotel, but the quality of the place is excellent for a weary traveler. Good amenities, a common area with freely available coffee and tea, easy check-in and out, and if you need a sneaky beer they've got a fridge with prices pretty much the same as what you'd find at the convenience stores.
Above all, the location is great. Just across the road from Taipei's main train and subway stations made connecting as we traveled a breeze! Walking distance from other good locations such as the Chiang Kai-shek memorial and the Ximen night market. The area surrounding the room is full of good food, as well, so you have no shortage of eats.
Happy to have spent my time at Esther's!
