This was my 5th time in Taipei. The room was a bit gloomy with low dim lighting , cracked wall and a dark painted ceiling to hide the mold. The room for the most part was clean which I appreciated.
I don't know what past reviewers are talking about when they say its quiet, because its next to a busy road where a lot of loud vehicles go by throughout the day and night.
The only thing that really bothered me was this unpleasant malodorous musky smell that made me feel uncomfortable and nauseated me at times. The pictures advertised are of a room with wooden floors. The room had carpet and I don't know if that's where the smell was coming from because Taipei is very humid. It left a stench on all of my clothes that when I met my local friends they say they can smell it even though I sprayed a lot of cologne on me.
