“Beautiful and very close to the station.”
I arrived at Taoyuan International Airport on a late-night flight and walked from the Taipei Bus Terminal to my accommodation at 3:00 AM. The direction to follow is towards the elevated area. When I passed by Taipei Station, I saw many homeless people sleeping, so it might be a little scary for a woman alone, but I think as long as you move quietly, there should be no problem. I have been to Taipei several times, so I find the location next to Mitsukoshi very easy to understand. If you're arriving late at night, you can't access the hotel from the underground street, so I wasn't sure where the hotel entrance was. I had previously inquired by email about the elevator, but I couldn't find it, but the security guard at the front entrance guided me, and I was able to reach my destination. I entered from the Taipei Station side entrance, took the left elevator at the farthest end down to level B4, and then transferred to the elevator just a little past that to go back up to level B3. After that point, there are signs to guide you, so there is no problem. The check-in machine can be set to Japanese, so you won't get lost. You'll need to enter your Agoda reservation number. Until 11 PM, it’s very easy to reach the Z2 exit of the underground street. The guest rooms are reminiscent of a Japanese private capsule hotel but a bit larger with beds. Although it seemed like there was no soundproofing, perhaps because the guests who stayed during my two days were all well-mannered, I was able to enjoy a very quiet and comfortable stay. The auto-lock system is card-based, and there are enough security cameras for peace of mind. There were no bath towels in the room, and since the front desk was unmanned, I was hesitant to ask over the internal phone, but a fellow guest kindly informed me that towels were placed in front of room 350. Checkout is done by simply dropping your card into a box that looks like a mailbox. While luggage cannot be stored, there are lockers right in front of the entrance, and there are Japanese instructions available, making it easy to find the location, especially considering I was heading towards the airport MRT. Overall, there are Japanese instructions everywhere. I felt a very sincere impression from the owner, and I was truly impressed, as expected from Taiwan. Imagine a private room capsule hotel, and if you know where the towels are and the nighttime entrance, it’s nearly a perfect budget accommodation. I would like to use it again when I visit Taipei.
