Stayed for four nights from 6th November to 10th November 2012 in a twin room (room number 506) for NT1,600 net without breakfast.

This was my third time to Taiwan and I still preferred to stay in Ximending area. There are so many shops close late and food is easily available. It is just one station away from Taipei Main Station.

I had been searching the internet for a twin room with reasonable room rate, size, location in Ximending, room with window, not see thru bathroom and en-suite bathroom, hence I chose Good9stay. Also, the owner well versed in English as I don’t understand Mandarin.

You have to pay room deposit via PayPal and the balance room charges in cash upon check in.
The hotel provides the MRT and interesting places maps in Ximending upon check in.

The room has all the amenities that you require i.e. flat TV, fridge, water tumbler, slippers and hairdryer but no safe deposit. Room has big window which I requested earlier. There is one computer terminal provided for guest use. Wi-Fi signal was fairly strong in the room. Hot and cool drinking water is available near the computer terminal. The room has many international power points, so no worry if you forget to bring power adaptor. Door is accessed by pin number. No mirror in the room except in the bathroom. Also, room has no wardrobe except hangers and hooks.

The room was quiet as I hardly heard any noise from the downstairs shops or my neighbour rooms.

I doubt you could find a better price for a twin room than Good9stay in Ximending. Will stay here or at One2stay when I visit Taiwan again.

My fren & I stayed in a room with twin bed for 7 nites. The location is fantastic, only 5 min from Ximen mrt (exit 6). Bearing in mind the price we paid, it is not realistic to expect top notch service & quality. It seems to be a popular hotel, judging from the number of guests which we saw during our stay. The guys @ the reception are always willing to answer any query patiently.

The room itself is clean, housekeeping is done daily & take note that toothbrush/toothpaste is provided once only.

In future however I would not consider to stay again as nearby hotel is cheaper & looks much better with proper front entrance.

If you are taking Freego bus from Taoyuan airport, tell them to drop you off at Future Star hotel. Once you are at FS hotel, you will notice a small lane at the side, Good9Stay is about 100m away (you will pass by Hotel Puri) & it is on the 5th floor

If you taking the mrt, use exit 6 then walk towards Watsons & follow the above.

This hotel is stratigically located in Ximending, the prime shopping area, but it is not noisy at all because it is located in one of the alley. From Ximen train station (exit 6), walk less than 5 minutes and there you go!

We stayed 2 nights and was given a regular room, I supposed the unrenovated room, it was alright! Clean room with towels provided. I have nothing to complain with the price that you pay. Hot water is provided along the corridor.

We left Taipei and returned again for 2 more nights. With the same value of money we paid, this time we were given an upgraded room with nicer bathroom. Love it! (room 505) clean and nicely made-up bed.

Last but not least, friendly staff who was recommending us places and store our luggage for a few days while we travel to Kenting.

I will recommend this to my friends!
