Ximen Citizen Hotel

We got a last minute deal and they gave us a big room! Walking distance to xi men ding and MRT station. Design is quite new, not old & haunted hotel, I can tell they’ve refurbished their units. Cleanliness is great. I noticed there were no dust behind the TV, very detailed cleaning. Staff were friendly too!

Not soundproof, which is common for budget hotel, can hear ppl having sex next door every night.

Positive: - 5 minutes to the MRT station - Near Ximending night market - Has two convenience stores nearby - Reasonable price - Quite comfortable especially for the price

Negative: - Small rooms - Wifi was faulty a lot of times - Soundproofing wasn't good - The elevator is small - No bidet - Front desk staff weren't english speakers

Friendly staff. Walking distance to Ximending Night Market and Ximen Station.

No bidet in the toilet.

The room is clean. The bed is comfortable. There are some hangers over the door so one can hang one's clothes there. There's small desk where one can work on one's laptop or write while sitting on the bed. The wifi is okay but unstable. They provide toiletries and towels. The nearest metro station is 400 meters away. There are some cafes and restaurants in the proximity of the hotel. The area around the hotel is a shopping area, so, if that's your aim in Taipei, you're in the right place. If your aim is sightseeing, you are also quite centrally located. The staff is kind and helpful.

The room is extremely small: my luggage took up most of the space so I had to edge around it. The room is dark. The shower is not separated from the rest of the bathroom so the whole bathroom floor gets wet when you shower.

The staff was really friendly, helpful and welcoming. This place is great, as it is located perfectly in the Ximending city, having many places to roam around and staying here gives easy travel to the metro station. The hotel room itself was very clean, cozy and comfortable to stay at, the room was prepared to be neatly done and the bed was very soft too, making it a comfortable stay.

The only opposition is that the wifi is quite slow at certain times, although there seems to be multiple wifi stations.

We were there in a group of 11 for 4 nights (from April 27-May 1). The hotel is totally beyond our expectation, the facilities are clean, pleasant atmosphere and staff are friendly. The rooms were cleaned up daily. I would say value for the money that we paid besides its strategic location to Ximending shopping area, food and convenient stores. They also provide free beverages and honestly, my family members really fell in love with the Latte which gave us a great start of the day.

No.....

Property is very clean and looks new, bathroom is spacious. Every night, i get refilled with 2 new water bottles, slippers and towels. It also has a mini ref and water heater. Location is very convenient. Just few minutes walk to Ximending and Ximen Station. Family Mart and 711 is almost just beside and across the street

The standard single room I booked has small space except bathroom. There is almost no room for luggage and hanging clothes. The room is a bit expensive but understood that this is because it is centrally located in Ximending

Very helpful staff and comfortable room

Noise of machine in the night, maybe a boiler or generator. Background noise.

The room has mirrors, a small fridge, TV and places to plug in electronics. The air conditioner is great too. The location is perfect for the ximending area! The staff are friendly and helpful.

There was no shower curtain in my bathroom, and so everything gets very wet when you shower. The toilet is in the same room, so the toilet paper also gets a bit wet. Also, you can’t flush toilet paper (although this seems to be standard for Taiwan)

This hotel is a hidden gem with an affordable price. It’s close to everything, shopping, eating, 24 hour coin laundry, transportation, etc. We especially enjoy our cozy business twin room, everything is newly renovated, very comfortable beds, a long bench and table which fits for two persons, a small multifunctional closet with a mini security box and fridge inside, and it even has a cute little bar shelf! Last but not least is the exceptional room cleaning, with towels, disposable slippers, cups, tea bags, bottles of water changed on a daily basis. Arrive before check-in time? No problem! They will look after your luggages, so you can leave and start your exploration right away.

Hope to have a small tray for soap. Room is a bit cold, even after thermo adjusted, unless turned off the AC.
