This hotel is very clean, but the room is small and has no windows. It feels oppressive to live in it. The service staff are kind and friendly.

Great hotel for the youths.

I visit Taipei annually. Sometimes up to four times a year. Most of my stays are at Hotel Papa Whale. I noticed some new front desk staff were not well trained lately. The water pressure for shower were a mark different from before when they we not as strong. This weeks visit to Taipei, I checked in twice and checked out twice to visit Taichung. The rooms are consistently well kept to high standards . I will be back soon.

Easy access to Ximending without the noisy enviro.

First time staying. Room and toilet are acceptable based on the price paid. Room was clean. Lift need cleaning. They have washing machine and dryer. Breakfast was different but service can be better.

10/10 Exceptional

I really enjoyed the rustic vibes of the hotel, which made it a cosy stay to rest up from all the activities in the city. It's also a really short walk from all the amazing shopping and food options in the Ximending area, which meant that I was basically spoilt for choice throughout my stay.

Great mid-range hotel in a nice neighborhood. Close to Ximen and Beimen stations.

An interestingly designed hotel in an excellent ar

The best thing about this place is its location. Ximen is a bustling shopping district, and my favorite part of Taipei. This hotel is located right in the middle of it, within walking distance of most of what you'll need in Taipei. The room itself had an interesting design but no windows. I think most rooms in this hotel have no windows. The internet is also weak for some reason, both the room wifi and my mobile data. For some reason there was bad reception throughout my stay. Other than that, it has the usual ammenties of any hotel and a bar fownstairs for guests.

The hotel offers a great buffet breakfast. It is near different forms of public transportation and landmarks. Unfortunately, the basement units don't have windows, and the plumbing can be noisy at times where I stayed.
William, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

I enjoyed the breakfast buffet but the plumbing was noisy during the night that kept me up, which wasn't an enjoyable experience. The area is interesting with access to plenty of food and entertainment options. The staff were friendly and the decor of the hotel was interesting.

This hotel is non-smoking, however there was someone smoking, which resulted in odor and smoke in the hall way. The staff members were exceptionally kind and accommodating, and I appreciate their helps a lot.

it's close to Ximending which is very convenient. and it's a walkable distance from the Taipei Train station to connect to the Airport MRT easily.
