Our base at Taipei is at CityInn Plus Hotel (Ximending). In my opinion, the location is a good one - it is at Ximending where it is known at the Taipei's "Tokyo Harajuku" fashion road but it is not situated in the middle of the busy road. Situated at the other side of the Ximen MRT station, it is a 3 minutes walk away from the start of the road. Thus, you are near the "Hip" place in Taipei but you will not be super disturbed by the noise.
We booked two different types of rooms (twin room and Deluxe Room with Street View) as there is no available Twin Room in the later part of the trip. The cost of the rooms do not differ much but we thought 2 single beds are always better than a double bed for us.
The service crews at CityInn Plus Hotel are really great - they are always serving you with a smile on their face. One thing about this hotel is that they would like us to deposit the key with them everytime we leave the hotel. It is a good and bad thing depending on individual. Thus, every morning when we deposited our key, they would ask us where we are going and would give us their 2 cents worth of thoughts and tips - we got more updated information from them on top of our existing itinerary.
The basement of the hotel is the service floor where there are computers, pantry and FREE laundry services. Wifi is free and this is totally an awesome thing so that we can keep in touch with family and friends back at home.
My verdict for this hotel - EXCELLENT - Check out their website for more information. Be sure to book in advance as they are really hot-selling - I reckon it has to do with the affordable price of the rooms at great location. Payment is by credit card and you will have to pay 30% deposit and the rest at the hotel itself. I did a mistake in the booking and payment went through - but the hotel is prompt in their reply and everything was settled in minutes - They gave me a call 2 days before the check in to confirm the stay and also to ask if we would need the airport services - GOOD!
