Simple Hotel

The staffs are friendly and are always ready to help you. The room size is small but the spacing is sufficient for 2 persons to move around. Not near to tourist attraction but the hotel is between 2 MRT stations, one which is 5mins walking distance and another is about 15mins walking distance. It is also near to a night market street where you can get food and drinks.

No view as my room was at lower level

The hotel is simple but still has some great highlights: 1. The room felt spacious and nice. The bathtub was fantastic! Also, the bed was huge and very comfortable. 2. The staff were very nice, especially the breakfast staff but also the reception. Everyone was nice and friendly. 3. We liked the hotel's location, though we mainly used taxis to get by. 4. The free laundry machines were useful for us. Also, the gym and the massage chairs were great.

1. Breakfast was quite average, to say the least. While the staff were very nice, we didn't have much to eat and despite staying for almost a week the variety was very low and the food was mostly the same every day. 2. The music played at the hotel's lobby and breakfast can actually get quite annoying really fast. I recommend changing the playlist :) It might be a small issue but it bothered us a bit.

It's a simple but good hotel. The room was fine, with a nice bed, balcony and good shower. The breakfast was varied enough while mostly asian it also had good western options. The free washing room was great and a welcome option on a long trip. The hotel is close to two subway lines and a bus stop with many food options close by. But is still in a quiet street. They also have a rooftop terras and a small gym. All in all I had a nice stay.

The room is starting to show it's age. The curtains need to be buttoned up to fully close, but the buttons were worn out. Also the carpet feels a bit grimy, but that is age not cleanliness. Finally the price is a bit high for a room compared to the age.

The Simple+ hotel is great value for money! The room was nice and tidy, breakfast was wonderful with various options of food (western and Asian). The free laundry facilities was just awesome with laundry baskets, laundry powder and everything you need. Every staff member of the hotel we came into contact with was very polite and helpful. Location was great and close to an MRT station. The lobby was super friendly, it has computers and drinks (hot and cold coffee, tea....) 24 hours! We arrived earlier than the check in time and were allowed to check in earlier. Simple+ will be our first choice of accommodation if we visit Taipei again.

There isn't really anything I don't like about Simple+, the only very minor thing I can pick on is that they do not have sweetener for coffee. But since I always carry some, so there isn't any issue.

-Great location (2-3 metro stops to the city centre and main railway station) plus a quick 5min cab ride to Taipei 101 - 3-4 min walk to the local metro station (Nanjing Fuxing) - Good expat bar nearby (Brass Monkey) with different events throughout the week - Great lunch options literally across the street - Breakfast was good with a decent variety - Free laundry options and massage chairs whilst you wait (would help if there was a translation of the WM buttons ) -Staff are very friendly and welcoming -Bed was very comfy

- Room is a bit small - Limited cupboard space (1 rack & 4-5 coat hangers) - Gym is just 1 room with a running machine, free weights and a mat The negatives were minor in all honesty

The hotel is close to the metro and city center. A bike rental station is across the street crossing.

The room was a little bit old. The windows have been very dirty and the air conditioning sound from the neighbor building was annoying. According to the description the use of laundry machines is for free. They changed it so that you have to pay for it one day prior our arrival.

Convenient location. Close to subway, restaurants, night market, etc. Good breakfast. The bathroom is quite big and nicely designed. The bathroom window is a big plus for the room without window. Computers and free tea/coffee provided in the lobby. The weight in the lobby greatly facilitates guests to check if their luggage is overweight before going to the airport.

The pillow is too soft and there should be two instead of one. The blanket is not made of natural material, hence not good for the skin. The aircon is not really adjustable, it got too cold in certain part of the room.

Breakfast

the room smells humid

Reception is friendly, kind and helpful. 5 minute walk from Metro station. Quiet at night. Clean and comfortable. Shower has amazing pressure and consistent hot water. Room is compact yet has all that one needs. Has a real balcony that you can sit out on - one chair and one small table. Bed is comfortable. Hotel elevator is small, it is quiet and efficient. Lobby has long wooden table and stools - even has 3 computers that can be used. Free laundry available - washer, dryer, soap provided. The laundry room is clean, organized, and has clear explanations. Free massage chair to use near laundry. Outside terrace on rooftop with 3 tables and plants. Easy to walk to convenience stores and food. Water refill available in breakfast room and rooftop. There was always extra toilet paper left in bathroom.

Outlets on one side of bed. Breakfast mainly savory choices - had cornflakes, bacon, sausage and toast for Westerners. Would have appreciated yogurt and peanut butter for choices too. Table umbrellas on rooftop terrace are broken and can not be raised up. Internet can be inconsistent. Master switch for lights is only by bed, not by door as well. Water refill not in lobby.

Breakfast at the hotel is very nice and exceeded my expectation. The lobby looks really nice and also I love the view from their rooftop. You can also bring yourself a drink and drink there if the weather is nice.

The room is way smaller than they showed on the website. There is no extra room if you got a suitcase to open and the AR seems broken or something cause it is really hot inside the room while the outside is so cold. The service in this hotel wasn't really that nice. When I went to their gym at 9 am, which was supposed to open at 7 am, the power wasn't up. I called their employee for help but I waited about 15 minutes for someone to show up and fix the problem. It will be better if they can open it at the time they said it should be open.
