Guest Reviews

• KAYOKO (8/5): - 日本語を話すスタッフさんが居られ、とても安心して滞在出来ました。駅の真上に位置し全てにおいて便利です。
• ryu (10/5): - スタッフの方がとても親切で縁起物のキーホルダーをプレゼントしてくれました❤️台北に来た時はまた利用したいと思います。
• Tadao (8/5): - 大晦日は台北101の花火大会を特別に屋上開放して鑑賞させていただきとても感動しました。 この日だけのプレゼントやカップ麺のサービスなどもあり快適でしたが、バストイレのスケルトン仕様に慣れませんね。
• Kentaro (8/5): - 雑居ビルの11階の1フロアを改装したホテル。オープンしてからだいぶ時間が経過しているようで、オープン時はおしゃれだったんだろうけど、部屋の内装は経年劣化が目立っていた。しかし清潔に掃除されていた。また大通りに面した壁一面が窓になっており、台北101も見えた(ホテルの構造上、安い部屋だと窓のない部屋になる可能性もあるので注意)。残念ながら壁が薄く隣の部屋の音がかなり気になった。 最寄りのMRT駅出口からホテルのある雑居ビルまではわずか1分。周囲には飲食店はコンビニもあり昼間は便利(夜はコンビニしかなくなってしまう)。 ホテルの受付の中年女性は日本語もできて、とてもフレンドリーで親切だった。私が酔っ払ってホテルに帰れなくなって朝帰りして夕方まで寝てた日も起きたら「おはよう」と冗談で言ってくれるユーモアのある人だった。 だからと言ってここをカップルやファミリーにおすすめできない理由は、この雑居ビルにカラオケ、ジム、風俗店など雑多な店が入っていて、夜はいかがわしい雰囲気になること。エレベーターが共用なのでどうしても他の客と一緒になってしまう。さらに夜ビルに入ろうとすると、1階の入り口で黒服の男に「どこへ行くんだ？」と確認されるのもめんどくさかった。旅慣れた男同士ならいいけど、一般的な友達や会社の人とホテルに泊まる時は絶対に選ばない。 でも男1人で行くなら、またあのフロントのおばちゃんには会いたいと思う自分がいる。
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 環境真的太吵雜，隔音糟糕！ 半夜一點多還有人在走廊上大聲吵架～
• ?? (8/5): - 整體還可以，滿乾淨的，離捷運站很近，就是其他樓層跟電梯的煙味有點重，環境隔音要加強
• red (10/5): - 台北アリーナでのコンサートの為取りました。窓からは台北101が見えました！アリーナまではバス停2駅近いです！お部屋は清潔綺麗で高級感ありバスタブ、ウォシュレット付きで大満足です。小さなラウンジだけどコーヒーマシンは飲み放題お菓子も有ります、また泊まりたいです。謝謝！
• KAZUTAKA (4/5): - A totally love hotel. Reception is great and the service is good. However, you can still hear the pant voice until dawn.
• Manabu (6/5): - 日本語を話せるスタッフが一人います。他のスタッフも親切です。建物の11階がホテルになっています。建物の一階の奥にあるエレベータで11階で降りるとすぐフロントになります。建物の入口付近にいる人たちに隠れて入り方が分かり難く迷ってしまいました。一度分かれば問題ないです。地下鉄忠孝敦化駅2番出口を出てすぐ目の前にあります。便利です。
• Verified traveler (2/5): REALLY LOUSY ROOM, but great hotel staff - The "Business Room" picture with panoramic window is highly misleading. There is NO room with that view. The room is very small and is located in a commercial building with 2 hostess bars and 1 night club in the building which have loud music until 1-2 am every night. Service staff are the only good thing to this hotel, they are courteous and professional, and provide lots of assistance. But the hotel itself is not worth staying.
• Glen (10/5): - Staff are very friendly and attentive.
• TOMOKA (6/5): - 駅からは近くてわかりやすいです。 写真で見ていたよりもビジネスホテル感が強かったです。寝るだけの利用であれば問題ありません。 最低限のシャンプー、ボディソープ、歯ブラシ、ドライヤー、タオル、スリッパはあります。 個人的に必要だった物は、トリートメント、ハンドソープ、パジャマ（常にクーラーが付いていてすぐ消しましたが寒かったです）はあった方がいいです。 日本語を話せるスタッフさんは私の時はいませんでしたが、笑顔で挨拶してくれるので印象は良かったです。
• I-LUN (8/5): CP值高的住宿 - 出捷運站就到了，非常方便，隔音效果不太好
• SHIHO (8/5): - 設備は古いですが、コスパは良いです。 家族向けではなく、ビジネスや単身向けだと思います。寝るだけだったので満足でした
• Nobuyuki (8/5): - ホテルスタッフの方が日本語もわかりとても親切でした。騒音もなくとても快適に過ごせました。また利用したいと思います。
• Miu (8/5): - エントランスの方みなさんが日本語が喋れて安心しました！駅からも近くアクセスも非常によかったのですが、部屋のたばこの臭いが気になりました。それ以外は、すごくよかったです。
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 棉被有污漬，感覺沒有洗很乾淨 枕頭睡一晚後眼睛就發炎了，感覺也是沒有清潔完成
• Seiya (10/5): - good
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 建議旅店的地毯、窗簾都要換新，味道太重了：（
• TSU YI (8/5): - 有備用枕頭這點不錯，入口有點複雜，整體空間變小，下次會選擇高一級的房間
• Keef (4/5): Meh - Uncomfortable bed, bathtub couldn’t be used (apparently because of Covid) breakfast was not available (apparently because of Covid) business center was non existent. The WiFi worked and the air conditioning was on full blast, although the weather outside was cold and rainy. Location was good. Front desk staff was friendly.
• YIWEN (8/5): - 位置十分好，設備較老舊
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 整體還不錯 價錢也能接受
• JULEE ANN (6/5): - cheap hotel in daan district, clean, near mrt. CONS: i booked a business double room with window, however the non- window room was given to us. The receptionist said there are business double rooms without window, unfornately they are fully booked for the week so they can not tranfer us. if i could remember, it is always specified in hotels.com booking process if the room you are reserving is with or without a window and it usually comes cheaper.... had we known this would happen, we could have cancelled our bookings.
• LAI HO (6/5): 近捷運，早餐聊勝於無。 - 近捷運站，房間細，但早餐熱點不熱，十分簡單。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - スタッフの対応も良いですし快適な宿です。場所も便利なのでおすすめです。
• KT (6/5): - Easy n accessible to any location within Taipei. Good for shopaholic to live nearby shopping areas
• hsiu ku (8/5): 整體還不錯,只是房間小了點 - 房間較小點,但服務很不錯,搭捷運方便,地方也很熱閙.若下次商務有需要會再來.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 忠孝敦化駅の出口からすぐそばの雑居ビルの11階。意外に部屋が広かった。
• Verified traveler (4/5): - 모텔 수준입니다. 비추천. 비흡연 방을 예액했지만 담배 냄새 많이나거 욕조 상태등 엉망입니다.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - 因為樓下就是夜店~半夜還有消防警報響起來,整個睡眠品質很差,隔音不佳!空間沒有照片看起來大
• B (8/5): - - reasonable price - reasonable equipment - wifi not okay
• Chun-Jen (10/5): - 服務超好
• Nobuhito (10/5): 超コスパなホテル - MRT入口まで1分でとても便利です。朝食も台湾らしく、味も悪くありません。フロントでも日本語が通じてありがたかったです。照明も多くビジネスホテルにしては明るくて良かったです。
• Nancy (8/5): - I really appreciate the front desk Personnel, they were so helpful and nice. Went out of their way to accommodate our needs, gave us lots of directions and suggestions for our visit. The room really need upgrade, need new carpets and free of smoke smell. I also suffered bed bug bites when I left.
• eunyoung (10/5): 이스턴 스타 호텔 - 창문이 없어서 조금 답답했지만 그 외에는 만족스럽습니다 ^^
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff is friendly and helpful with whatever you need.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The location is great, a lot of restaurants, shops nearby, easy access to MRT & buses!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, great area to meet up! Lots of choices for food!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Location,location,location is the best ! Easy access to MRT & buses!
• CHEN-HSIANG (6/5): 房間髒髒的，隔音有夠差 - 到小巨蛋看演唱會，所以選擇入住東鑫，下午Check in完進到房間，毛絨絨的地毯，髒污一塊一塊的，覺得有點噁心，就房間家俱也是看起來髒髒的，誇張的是，連床被單上還有疑似血跡@@，另外，浴室沒有可以放置衣物的地方，雖然洗手檯下方有置物櫃，但洗澡時，水都會噴進置物櫃，然後地板靠近浴缸的排水孔，表面看沒什麼問題，不過從房間進到浴室，置物櫃下方就能明顯看到好多沒有清理過的垃圾，花了快1千8元住一晚，實在是讓人睡的全身癢癢的，最後就是房間的隔音，非常的差，走廊放的音樂，還有打掃阿姨清理房間時的碰撞聲，都聽的一清二楚，想好好睡一覺都難啊
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 整體大致非常好，服務人員有禮及親切笑容，房間都整潔！入住位置有很多小食商舖及隣近地鉄路非常方便！有機會再來入住！
• koji (4/5): 部屋が汚い。 - フロントの対応はよくチェックインもスムーズにできたのはよかったです。客室に関してはベットメイク以外は清掃してないのでは？ あとオートロックじゃないのがきになりました。ホテルは雑居ビルの11階にあり、その他はクラブや飲食店が入ってるので環境はよくないです。あと朝食はコーヒーだけしか飲みませんでした。 昼・夜の食事に関しては周りにたくさんあるので問題ないです。今回は101カウントダウンを見る為歩いて行けるホテルを探してたので宿泊しましたが、次はないですね。でもフロントスタッフは良かったですよ。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - わるくはなかったんご
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 毎年台北マラソンで利用しています。MRT駅のすぐ上で早朝会場までの利用に便利です。ハーフマラソンだとゴール後ホテルの朝食が間に合います。今回窓なしの部屋から窓ありの部屋への変更ができました。WiFi使えます。
• Verified traveler (6/5): 不推介 - 整體房間比較舊，還有點髒。 一進去的時候發現床有頭髮，枕頭套並有頭髮同污漬，確實有點嘔心。 床也太硬， 睡不好。
• Juyeon (8/5): 위치가 최고에요 - 쭝샤오둔화역에서 나오면 바로 앞이라 너무 편해요 다만 입구에 호텔이름이 크게 써 있는 게 아니라 조금 찾기가 헷갈렸어요 1층에 있는 엘리베이터타고 11층으로 갔어요 방은 작아요 친구와 둘이 썼는데 가방을 펼칠 공간이 없어서 침대 옆 소파와 테이블에 올려놓았구요 옷장도 작은 편이라 오래 머물 분들은 다른 방을 찾아보시는게 좋을 것 같아요 위치는 정말 최고지만 넓고 편한 방은 아닙니당
• Verified traveler (8/5): 住房經驗 - 交通便利，附近生活機能佳，櫃台服務親切，惟設備稍嫌老舊，早餐選擇性亦較少~
• Ricky (8/5): Great stay, you get what you pay for - Location was great, staff were accommodating. The hotel only occupies one floor of a building.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great place to stay as it is very near to mrt and around the place there is so many things to shop
• Verified traveler (8/5): 靠近市區的好商旅 - 住在附近的話，有捷運、公車，連計程車都多，交通方便！板南線忠孝敦化捷運站2號出口就在附近幾步路的距離，又是市區，好逛街！
• Martin (8/5): Good central location and service - Excellent central location right next to subway station. Breakfast buffet could be better, lack of a window was a bit depressing after 3 days, staff lovely, overall good.
• Verified traveler (8/5): 친절해요 - 창문이 없어 답답했지만 직원들이 너무나 친절해서 좋았습니다
• Verified traveler (8/5): 下次會願意再住的！ - 整體滿不錯的，至少乾淨、整潔，早餐中式的也滿好吃的！
• Chun Yi (10/5): 溫馨 - 溫馨體貼
• helen (8/5): - 住的位置十分方便，鄰近鐵路，附近有很多食店😘😘 是不錯的酒店，由其是這裡的工作人員給我很親切的感覺
• Verified traveler (8/5): 第二次住 - 今次的房間沒有窗，下次還是買有窗好了 另外，因為早機，本來十二點到酒店只是打算丟下行李就走，怎知道已經有房可入，實在太好了^^
• Klaus (4/5): Sehr laut durch die Straße aber super Lage - Die Zimmer sind sehr klein und müssten mal renoviert werden. Die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich. Die Lage ist top, aber es ist durch die Straße sehr laut. Taiwan ist aber immer eine Reise wert.
• Ming Tak (6/5): 地區方便 - 煙味太濃
• Kong Weng (8/5): Convenient - Great location, nearby MRT station, walking distance to food and shopping.
• anzu (4/5): - 设备老旧，服务也不专业，以商务标准就不合格。
• LADF (8/5): 忠孝敦化で宿泊するなら - 1泊2日のショートステイで利用した。台北エリアでの旅行の場合、移動手段はMRTをメインとしているため何かと使い勝手の良い台北駅周辺に宿をとることが多いが、今回は2度目の忠孝敦化。理由は安かったから。 だからといって不便な地ではまるでなく、近くに若者に人気のクラブがあったり人気の商業施設等が軒を連ねていたりと、むしろ活気はあるスポット。今は日本にも進出しているが「ICE MONSTER」も徒歩圏内にある。 ホテル自体は入口は分かりづらいものの、中に入ると割と安心できる空間になっている。 自分が滞在したときは、日本語対応できるスタッフもいたし（喋れる訳ではないが）、総じてフレンドリーな対応をしてくれるので、言語やコミュニケーションに不安を持たれている方は、安心感を持てる滞在先になるのでは？と思われる。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - スタッフがとても親切です。快適にホテル生活をおくれます 繁華街まで近いので移動しやすい。 セキュリティも万全
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 店員の担当が大変素晴らしかった。 ベッドが広く寝やすかった。 フロントにお菓子がおいてあり、有り難かった。 タオルなどのノベルティが充実していた。 金庫があると、セキュリティの関係からもっとよかった。
• kosuke (6/5): 6Fのクラブとセットで利用するひとも？ - 従業員の対応はとても良かったですが、簡易ホテルですね。値段ありきで泊まったので納得はしましたが、手放しではオススメできませんね。
• Verified traveler (10/5): 駅に近い - 駅から数分と便利な場所であり、清潔感のある部屋、スタッフの対応がきもちよく また、連泊することにしました。 日本語が通じるのも助かりました。
• Verified traveler (8/5): 位置優越 服務人員親切 隔音差 (住宿經驗無不當用語但被說不適當因此無法詳述) - 不予置評(打了一堆說有不事當內容 檢視無不當用語但依舊被擋)
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good location and reasonable price - I usually use this hotel coz it is cheap and is in a good location. I want to stay here again.
• WAN-CHU (10/5): - 隔音不好 半夜還聽到其他房間的聲音 其他方面都很好
• hav (8/5): diffcult to find nameboard. - diffcult to find nameboard. But,location is good.because it has nearly department,food market.
• Verified traveler (8/5): 地點便利 - 非常鄰近捷運站, 出入方便 附近有不少食肆, 早午晚到樓下就解決 而且樓下有24小時營業的屈臣士, 睡不著下去SHOPPING也很方便
• hiro (8/5): 気さくな店員 - 気さくな店員でした。日本語もそこそこ。 ただ声が結構、漏れやすいです。 それ以外はほぼオーケー。立地がいい。タクシーも安い。
• quach (4/5): Pas du tout un hôtel 3 étoiles ! - Cet établissement, de par son qualificatif de "lu guan" dans son nom chinois, indique qu'il ne faut pas s'attendre ici à un vrai hôtel ("fan dian"), alors nous sommes mal tombés , car sur le site hotels.com il est classé 3 étoiles ! Nous sommes passés par votre site hotel.com pour la réservation, et qu'elle deception ! Eastern Star n'est même pas classé chez eux, les lieux comme celui ci ont beaucoup de commodités car ils servent occasionnellement d'hôtel de passe, ou lieu de passage pour voyageurs pressés peu regardant sur le standing : chambres vétustes, moisissures dans la salle de bain e sur les rideaux de la chambre, plafond fissuré, aucune insonorisation, papier peint taché par les salissures...le seul point positif c'est le personnel très aimable ! Ah j'oubliais les préservatifs dans les tiroirs, et les nus en photos ou peinture en déco ! Voilà le cadre dans lequel nous avons dû vivre avec mon mari et ma mère, et n'ayant pu nous faire rembourser pour partir ailleurs, nous avons dû payer nous même un autre logement pour être ailleurs quelques jours et échapper aux bruits obscènes des voisins les soirs, aux jeunes qui reviennent bourrés dans leur chambre à 4h du matin. .. c'est un scandale qu'il y ait un tel écart de jugement dans le standing des hôtels par ce site. Il est bien situé pour ceux qui ne sont pas regardants pour le confort et veulent être dans la rue des shoppings et des bars/boites de nuit !
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 很不錯，服務人員很親切
• moka (10/5): 駅近ホテル - ホテルのスタッフの方がとても親切で良かった。 日本語できるスタッフもいるので安心です！ また泊まりたいと思います。
• Expatriateview (2/5): If you like run dow, mold, unclean bad breakfast this is your place to go - The worse hotel i have ever been in. A lot of black algea in bathroom, wall paper hanging loose, carpet schreded, but overall unclean and neglected. Not at all what is shown on internet. Bathroom ceiling at 1.90 m, shower at 1.60m. I am 1.96m tall. Breakfast is minimal asian. Smelly bed linen. Advise, dont go there. Enteance is poor snd hitel is above a commercial building.
• PAUL (2/5): Stay away from this hotel. - Supposed to have a room with windows, but, sorry, no room with window for me when I checked in. Things, however, got worse from that point on. Got into one room, which had cracked floor. So I requested for another, which, after I settled in, had foul odor from the carpet area near the bathroom due to leak from bath tub. Air conditioning was not strong enough to tame the sudden Indian summer days in November. Overall a sub-par hotel. Stay away.
• Verified traveler (6/5): You get what you pay for - The hotel is very conveniently located right outside an MRT station, in the heart of the city. That was the plus point. Room was ok. The undersides of the furniture were extremely dirty. There was a lot of dust, like it hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Staff however, are very friendly and helpful, albeit not proficiently bilingual.
• cry_jc (6/5): You get what you pay for - Location: Couldn't be better. You are right beside the train station. A 15min walk to the next station and you have a whole load of food choices around the area. The back lanes of the hotel are also littered with small shops that sell food and other stuff. Very very convenient location. Check-in: Staff are very friendly and helpful. They provided excellent service. Room: Small. Pictures really don't portray how tiny the room is. Also, the room is extremely dirty. The couch looked extremely dusty with stains. We didn't dare to sit on it. I flipped the stool over and i saw a whole layer of dust underneath. Behind the TV was also caked with dust. The carpet looked quite gross also. However, if you don't go looking around, behind and under stuff, you wouldn't see the dust. I guess the room is quite old already.
• Sanjaya (6/5): OK hotel: hard to find, great location - No window. Very hard to find (on 11th floor). Breakfast starts too late (7.30pm) and I had to miss it. But I liked the staff and they were friendly.
• 이경목 (4/5): 그냥 잠만 자는곳 - 그냥잠만잘정도의 객실수준입니다. 조식은 좁은식당에 준비되어 있어 불편합니다. 위치하나만 좋은 호텔입니다.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 夏の暑い日にクーラーの無い場所での朝ごはんは暑かったです。内容もがっがりするものでした。ホテルの壁がものすごく薄く、夜の隣のカップルの声で眠れなかったです。ローケーションは良いですが、これならもっとお金を出してちゃんとしたホテルにすれば良かったと思いました。
• Verified traveler (2/5): stay away - First of all, great staff..... but everything else? Where do I even begin..... Rooms are old, moldy, tiles in the bathrooms were missing... dust in AC and wallpaper half digested by mold and fungi. White chair cushions had brown stains on both sides..... Did I mention mold everywhere? Breakfast area was dirty too, had to change 2 bowls before finding a clean one. Serious health concerns. Had to complain to the manager and talk him into letting me check out early (was going to staying there for 2 weeks). I am no clean freak and my own room is pretty horrid.... never thought I'd see a hotel room worse than my room.
• 161cecilial (2/5): Shameful standards for Taipei - It's shameful for this hotel to even advertise itself as such - I've seen better standards in many hostels and private homestays. The first room they showed us had such a pungent smoking odor that you couldn't even remain in the room. The same scent lingers in the corridors. Inside the room, everything was dirty. Everything. There's black mold growing in the shower and between the mirror and the sink. The walls are all stained, and when I wiped the nightstands with a towel, it came away black. There was a used and empty water bottle to greet us beside a full one. The ceilings are low and stooped, so take a care if you're claustrophobic. I wore shoes or slippers the entire time, and put a towel down on the floor before stepping into the shower. But really, even if the location is central, I couldn't ever recommend this hotel. If you want central, be prepared to pay a bit more. Otherwise the MRT is fast and affordable in Taipei, so book a bit outside of the main areas for better value. Staying at Eastern Star was an unhygienic and disgusting experience; I can't believe this hotel exists inside such an orderly and pleasant city.
• inTaiwan (8/5): Great location - The hotel is a bit run down but it was clean enough. The location is great. You could not ask for a more central location for this price. The front desk staff was really helpful and polite. Overall it was what I expected for the cost in that area. If you are looking for a cheap, no frills place to stay in the heart of Taipei, this is a good choice.
• Wei Peng (2/5): A quick solo getaway - It was very convenient location with the mrt station just next to it but it was a very small room and brought upon by the low ceiling.
• Shaun (8/5): Great location in terms of transport and leisure - Pleasant, convenient and pocket friendly place to stay in.
• C5908ALmartinm (8/5): Very good location, clean rooms - The hotel is very good located near the Bannan line of the Taipei subway which is the best choice for travelling around the city. Actually the whole hotel is in the 11th floor of old and rusty building. The staff is very helpful and nice. The room was cleaned every day and there are also free bottles of water, tea, instant noodles and Taiwanese soft drink. In the small street between the hotel building and building with Zara shop are many small food takeaways with great and cheap noodles or grilled pieces on the stick. The breakfast was very Taiwanese standard - bowl of rice, sausages, ham and egg with variation of pickles and vegetables. The furniture and the shower were very old and really need some innovation. But if you spend in the room only night it is quite good. Also if your room is.oriented to the street (with Taipei 101 view) you can hear the car traffic.
• Verified traveler (4/5): not ok to me - worst stay in taipei hotels. will not choose this hotel anymore
• kingofmestizos (10/5): Helpful Staff, Clean Rooms, and Great Location - This hotel is an a safe area and an easily accessible one. The Taiwanese staff are nice especially cleaning staff greeting you as you pass by them even if they do not know any English. Staff helped me print itineraries and other documents in their business centre. Wifi is fast and breakfast has many different options. From the hotel's neighborhood you can get a view of the Taipei 101 and you also have a short distance to many stores, parks, and government buildings. Next time I go to Taipei city, I will come back here.
• PHANIRAJ-KATHURI (8/5): Budget Hotel with All ameneties - Decent Hotel with 4 star range rooms with almost all facilities including wifi. Bathroom is little smaller in size but was within comfort zone. Hotel staff were polite and helpful in guiding the place. Breakfast was good.
• Shey816 (6/5): Eastern Star - The location is excellent - right next to subway and near shopping areas. The hotel is very small and basic. So if you are looking for a nice and spacious hotel this is not meant for you. The hotel is located in a building and shares with other establishments including another hotel so it might be a bit confusing for a first-time visitor. It is located right next to Watson and near Zara.
• royalbutterfly (6/5): Cheap and Convenient Location - It wasn't quite what I expected, being on the 11th floor and only a discreet sign at the ground level building directory. It's also a bit disconcerting to have to walk past the nightclub's promoters who set up shop in the evening. My room was small but seemed clean. All the basic amenities and toiletries were there, except that I didn't find any safe. The walls are thin, so you can hear traffic noise, people in the corridors, and inconsiderate neighbours in their rooms. I didn't explore their business centre. Their staff are friendly and helpful. I took advantage of their airport transfer service and was happy with it. I thought I'd paid for daily breakfast but got only one coupon for one day's breakfast - maybe I was supposed to request it daily at reception? Anyway, breakfast was served in a tiny room on the 6th floor - porridge and condiments (including stir-fried veg and fried eggs) and bread with jam/butter. Not quite what I like so I thought finding breakfast elsewhere would be better. Other than that, the location is near to an MRT station, and there are shopping centres and interesting-looking side streets to explore.
• TonyandCath (10/5): We would stay there again - No hesitation. - The Eastern Star Hotel is on the 11th floor of the building. This is not a problem as the Front Desk is on the same floor as the rooms. The rooms are a a bit tired, some cigarette burns on the fittings and carpets. No-smoking policy now in place. The rooms were clean. Fantastic shower! One elevator has it's panels held in place with duct tape. It adds character - we are are not budget travellers. The staff were wonderful! They were super helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The MRT station is right outside the building so, getting to anywhere is easy.

• aik ann (8/5): nice to stay. a extremly good location. - the room look a litter bit small but quite clean and comfort. location is fantastic, 50 meter away from subway and is a downtown central. along the road is full of shop and food.
• Lina (8/5): Hotel condition - All is good except room size is too small.
• Verified traveler (6/5): hotel in good central location - arrived near midnight, staff immediately checked us in, room on same floor, close by
• Verified traveler (6/5): chilly hotel but great location. - i stayed one week in this hotel for 1 week.the rooms are small but sufficient,if you send most of your time outside sightseeing,shopping no problem,but there is no space for recriation, for working or business room. the most annoying thing is the air condition whitch is turned down to minimum.15 degrees even if is cold outside.it is not possible to stay in the room for more then 15 minutes, because you start freezing. the adventage is the central location and the friendly staff,helpful anytime.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Budget accommodation in excellent location - The hotel is in a shopping/dining district and located metres away from the metro station. The business room was clean and spacious enough for two people whilst the bathroom had mould on the ceiling and shower. I would only stay here again if I was on a budget.
