One of the hotels I personally shortlisted to try after googling some of the best hotels here in Taiwan. The hotel which resort endless 5/5 ratings, I’ve decided to try their highest category here which they call “Suite” but my personal opinion, it’s more of a studio than a suite. The “Suite” which is actually just a big spacious room consist of big seating area which feels like an actual living room but without a wall separation between bed and living area (there’s curtains). In fact, the only door separation is only the toilet (without lock and mesh like windows) and the main entrance to the room. Expect doorless and open bath and bed - this means, it’s going to be awkward looking at your friends or family walking around the mesh wall between the bath and bed. It does has a really good looking bath area and a long double sink with full Aesop toiletries (suite only). Beddings isn’t the most comfortable here among the 5* I’ve tried here in Taipei, and windows isn’t the cleanest too. It might be hard for the management to schedule window cleaning too often, but it’s the little touches that make any guest even happier. When staying here, do expect furry friends all over the hotel since this is consider one of the most furry friendly hotel in Taipei. Quench your thirst every evening with complimentary wine and make your own cocktail (chargeable)...One of the hotels I personally shortlisted to try after googling some of the best hotels here in Taiwan.

Must try are their bar and breakfast at Tavernist (only restaurant in the hotel). Would definitely love to come back for their tasting menu one day!

All in all was a decent stay. Excellent location, minutes away from MRT station, walkable to some of the nicer cafes and restaurants in Da An (I personally like Le Blanc a lot). The hotel fail to mention this suite has a great view of Taipei 101 from the side windows too, which was a great touch! I didn’t notice that until seeing it at Tavernist and then back to room enjoying the view. Only few things worth mentioning/improve.. probably the management would consider autonomous or remote control curtains, schedule more often windows cleaning, improving the bed linens and changing the category name to studio suite instead of just suite. I would considering coming back again and trying out the other categories and the dinner at Tavernist.More
