It’s rare to find an ocean view hotel for a reasonable price, but this hotel has it! We stayed on the top floor with the balcony overlooking the ocean and it was amazing. A beautiful view to wake up to. Highly recommend!

Hotel

The hotel is very dated, the room I stayed is very clean with very limited furniture. The bathroom is small but they provide all the necessary items and will replace towels every day.

clean, spacious, safe

location wise, it walkable to both formosa boulevard station & central park station. room is spacious n clean overall, comfortable stay. I liked that it quiet plc. I noted the coffee table n desk showed sign of wear and tear, theres even burnt mark n stained on coffee table. I guess thats the drawback of using white furnitures. most hotels I stayed have got a safe, however, there isn’t one in this hotel.

家族連れでした。 ホテルは駅から少し離れてましたが、夜市から近かったので選びました。 基本タクシー移動でしたが、どこにでもアクセスが良かったと思います。 ホテルの中は綺麗で改装済な印象でした。 隅々まで綺麗な印象はありませんでしが、値段の割に良いと思います。 子供が内装がとても気に入っておりました。 部屋の中はとても明るく、ファミリー向けだと思いました。
