Good9stay Inn

Room wasnt very big with basic amenities. Location is great, located at the heart of Ximending Near mrt. 5mins walk. Late night shopping? No problem! Great food and entertainment nearby.

For the price that I paid, this place is a lot better than past experiences of similar price. I just needed a place to stay, rest, shower. Since I was travelling solo, I had 3 basic requirements - Good location, private toilet, windows. This place fulfills them all with a bit more thanks to service. Reception (Yu Lin was her name?) was very helpful (a little too much at the beginning since I had my trip quite well planned and prepared but she still kept on recommending places for me to go and things to do). She spoke excellent English too. The room was spacious and comfortable, though the air-conditioner shouldn't be turned too low due to humid Taiwan weather or there will be water dripping. There were toiletries and some small snacks provided but don't expect much of it. The refrigerator was a big bonus, though there's a stove in the room it's just for heating water and not cooking. Having housekeeping everyday was a neat touch too. Location very convenient as near the MRT. There's a 7-11 and 24 Hour Watson nearby too for late hours, meanwhile it's right at the heart of Ximending for shopping and food and the occasional night stalls. If you plan to travel around with YouBike there are several stops nearby as well. Overall I'd recommend it to someone who needs convenient location, a private toilet, windows and on a budget. I enjoyed great service and will most likely come back.

It's a pleasant surprise that the room and its bathroom were more spacious than expected. The high ceiling was a plus. However, the only windows were small, too high up and does not show any views, making the room feel quite like a large prison cell. The room furnishing also felt rather sparse (why is there only one chair for a double room meant for two?). Cleanliness was satisfactory, housekeeping was done everyday. Reception staff was very efficient, although cold and business-like, but she was also very willing to help however she can when I had some questions on directions to tour sights. Good location, a mere 5 minutes walk from Ximen Station Exit 6, abundance of food and shopping options in the vicinity, and despite being located in the heart of a bustling area, one can still enjoy a quiet peaceful rest at night.
