The KDM hotel is located about 50 meters from the Zhongxiao Xinsheng subway station, making it incredibly convenient to reach other parts of Taipei. The hotel itself looks a bit dilapidated from the outside. The inside, however, is tastefully modern and conservative. The front desk staff speaks decent English and check-in was hassle free. Each floor has about 6 rooms so it is a bit cramped in the hallways. Our room itself was small for American standards, but still had everything we needed. (We did notice my parents' room on the same floor was slightly bigger and we paid the same price.) We had a comfortable queen size bed, TV, fridge, and desk. The bathroom is a bit cramped and features a tub, separate shower, and toilet. Not the most efficient use of space as the shower head could be placed over the tub and make for more space.

There are multiple restaurants and convenience stores within walking distance. I recommend trying out the Yonghe Soymilk restaurant about 3 min walk away for a cheap and traditional Taiwanese breakfast.

Modest price and good value. Newly renovated makes KDM a pleasant place to stay. Tidy rooms very wet bathroom with shower shame the plumber didn’t do a better job finishing off the faucet to the wall. Good quality modesty priced hotel in a decent location next to the subway. Didn’t like the buffet breakfast coffee is OK. If it is included with your room good but don’t pay extra. Big Mac or other places close by. There are hundreds of places to stay in Taipei that are nowhere near as nice as the KDM. If you are on a budget then consider the KDM but good prices are probably only available through the net. Walking distance ot the Taipei Technical University and very close to the Ghunhwa computer center.
