I'm here to blog about my Taiwan Trip!!
But first, I'd like to share with you guys this awesome treasure inn I've stayed at.
XIMEN STAR INN
No.111, Kunming St, Ximending, Taipei, Taiwan 108
Before I booked the hotel (inn) on Agoda, I've been trying to search and find more picture and reviews on it because the pictures were limited. And I had to worry if the toilet was attached to the room because it was an Inn, I was afraid to share common toilets and etc.
SO NOW, I'M GONNA DO A REVIEW ON IT.
For the benefits of people who're wanting to book it.
This is the entrance of the Inn.
It's pretty hard to find for the first time, the taxi drivers didn't know the way and it roundabout
SO MANY DAMN TIMES.
But it is EXTREMELY convenient to Ximen Station and Ximending!
It's practically just a straight road down across two traffic lights!!
And there's like many nice food near the inn!!
(Beef noodles, Smelly Wok, Bakery etc.)
And here are some pictures INSIDE the inn!
Reception area.
The receptionist/security is pretty much hack care.
He doesn't really care if you bring more than 2 people if you booked a 2 person room etc.
So they're not really strict on that.
WHICH IS A GOOD POINT FOR GROUP TRAVELING.
And he's really super hack care that he just read my booking slip and just passed me the keys which was on the table itself already.
But trust me, the receptionist isn't a big deal of their service.
They offer room service (cleaning) everyday at around 1pm and it's really as if you're staying in a hotel.
Just less the room service food and morning breakfast which you wouldn't even need since you're living near Ximending!
At the 8th level!
The rooms kinda looked like "cells" from the outside haha!
And when I opened the door, to my surprise,
IT WAS SO PRETTY AND AWESOME.
It's like my DREAM HOUSE kind of concept you know!! omg.
I was SO relieved of the worries and doubts I had of the inn before arriving.
Not sure if I'm lucky, but I got the corner room (last room on the level)
And my mum say usually corner rooms are bigger.
But I'm not too sure how the other rooms would look like.
Look!! So pretty!
There's even an upstairs!!
Mini "kitchen" area.
They provide 3 bottle of drinks everyday and even standby umbrellas for us.
How sweet!!
Toilet area.
All toiletries such as Towels, Toothbrush, Shower cap, etc. are there!!
Study table area.
AND SEE WHAT WAS UPSTAIRS??
ANOTHER BED.
Gosh..so worthwhile!! If only we had more people with us on the trip!
And this is the flight of stairs going up!
Super nicely furnished!!
And the view from my window!
I practically rate the place 9.5/10.
(0.5 goes to the grey area where I don't know if other rooms are the same)
And guess how much this inn costed me?
SGD600 odd for 7 nights.
IT IS SO CHEAP AND WORTH THE PRICE.
There's WIFI in the room and it's pretty fast!!
Which is another bonus point (esp for me).
There's also a laundry room at every level for you to put coins and wash your clothes in case you dirty them and not have enough clothes! Which I doubt since you're in Ximending, just buy some new ones to make do, lol!
So yes, I'm basically gonna book this place again
when I go back to Taipei next year.
And I'm like super satisfied with the stay at XIMEN STAR INN.
If you want to book through agoda, this is the one
Till the next post, ciaos.
