York Design Hotel

Room (private, single, shared bathroom) is exactly as shown on the website. Stayed on basement 1. Room may be claustrophobic to those not used to confined spaces. Will be fine just as a place to sleep. Toilet is relatively clean. Common area is really homely and nicely designed - water, coffee and tea provided. Contrary to older reviews, WIFI is strong with a few connections to choose from. Pleasant enough for a two-night stay in Taipei, while on a budget.

The room is tiny; 2 light bulbs still very dark. The night bulbs and shades are dusty. The "bed" is actually two wooden boards put together with a very soft mattress on top; its not very supportive and if you have back pain, be warned! The TV is on the wall at the end of the "bed" which I was worried that my foot will smash it in the night. The design is really odd, just a 3/4 ft above the "bed", there was a concrete above, maybe they were thinking of putting another mattress above to make it into another "bed" above. Kind of giving you claustrophobic feeling. I was staying in the basement; apart from the first time I went into the hotel room I was greeted by the hotel staff who sat by the lift; then I have never seen any staff whether it is very late into the night, early in the morning. The front desk is on the 4th floor of the building; I think they occupied a few floors. Well the staff are in general helpful. They will not change the towel for your stay. The toilets and shower rooms are outside but each cubicle is really tiny. the shower rooms are dirty with mold on the wall. Horrfying! The TV just showed programs in local languages. It was not a pleasant stay I would say. I wont recommend it to my friends.

Good Location and Clean.

four of us stay one night for the ease of going to aiport on the next early morning. Clean and comfortable. Easy to locate as Long as you can find ceasar hotel.
