Guest Reviews

FUNG SUEN (10/5): - Room is clean, easy check in & check out, right at the night market, it can be pretty noisy during the night because it’s right at the Main Street, but it didn’t bother us that much. The included breakfast was impressive, lots of choices, you can even make your own noodles. We will definitely come back. Highly recommend.
PIN-KAO (10/5): - Convenient facilities for personal needs: washer and dryer, convenient, separate sinks with washing board, for easy closing wash. There is also a separate free small spinning machine. Showers and toilets are clean and well maintained. Newspapers and magazines are available and up to date. Ideal for single person stay.
Li Ping (8/5): - Good, next door to night market
Naresh (2/5): - Really rude lady from the staff. You would expect atleast a towel if mo other toiletries, Requested obe and she said no and offered to sell it for $11 on the fly early in the morning. Stay away from this place.
George (10/5): AMAZING - AMAZING
Wei (6/5): - This is more like a hostel, with many shared room with 2 bunk beds. Since all rooms are on the 2nd floor, the man and woman bathrooms are close to each other. The area is next to the evening market, and along the street are so many eateries. It is about 10 mins easy walk to the subway so location wise it is very convenient. Breakfast was only ok. Service was ok as well. They do offer storage for your luggage when you have to check in early or check out late.
Hongbin (8/5): - Great location. Walked distance to many attraction.
Hongbin (8/5): - Great location. Decent breakfast.

WAH (10/5): - Hotel Outside area is dirty
Xiumei (10/5): - I like here everybody can spoke in English . They did exlent job for my lost and found . I forgot my items in my room when I checked out .they found and keep for me . I really appreciate that .
kun yi (8/5): - Good
Manuel (8/5): - Large, multi-floor modern, full facilities to heat food, clean dishes, do laundry, vending machines for snacks and necessaries ( purchaseable shower shoes, small towels) Change machines. Lounge areas for group gatherings or to enjoy meals. Has rooms with single, double beds (some appeared to have showers) and quad bunk beds. Bunk bed rooms have a locker with a key (deposit needed/returned) Only issue was lavatories were just a little dirty but cleaned daily. Understandable though as it appeared that several schools and/or teams of young frenetic boys were on my floor xD Only issue was snoring by bunkmates (They sell earplugs!) Maybe guest questionnaires should ask: Do you snore? Many eateries just outside the entrance But there also appears to be a cafeteria being used by the school boys and guest families. Very much like large youth hostel facilities of NL.
Stanley (10/5): Great breakfast - The room is clean. I love the breakfast area. Each day they offer different kind of dishes. Unlimited coffee too.
Shu (10/5): - The location is convenient. I am a solo female traveler. I felt safe there the whole time. Each bed in the shared dorm room has a small storage area which can be locked with a key. It's big enough for two standard-size backpacks.
Verified traveler (4/5): Not Recommend for Female Traveller - Location wise, quite convenient as it is just 7 mins walk from Shuanglian MRT (red line) and 1min walk to NingXia night market. However, I would not recommend female traveller to stay in this hotel. It's not an usual hostel where security is tight. The whole floor is shared with other hotel guests. For example, there are around 20 hotel guest rooms + few hostel guests. Shared toilets are located at the back whereby Male & Female toilet just next to each other. Meaning that, any hotel guest or Male guest can actually enter the Female toilet without even your realisation. Imagine if you come back at night and take a shower, any Male guest might just hiding outside and take your picture. Cleanliness is bad. I shared with 3 other ladies and the room is super small. All my room mates enter the room without changing their shoes. Imagine the smell of their feet and dirtiness of the shoes. Bed is super hard too. I totally can't not sleep well.
George Acervo (10/5): AMAZING - AMAZING
Paul (10/5): - The place was exceptionally clean and modernized. It's sketchy outside, but the hotel is nicer than i anticipated. It seems to be primarily a dormitory for youth on tours or sports trips and can be a bit noisy, but all was quiet by 9.pm. Our room for my wife, me, and son, was private with three twin beds. I found only one english channel on TV: Cinemax, captioned in Chinese. Full sized coin-operated washer and dryer were a welcome sight. Breakfast was Chinese -- lots of noodles and broth.
Fung Yee (6/5): - Convenient
George (10/5): AMAZING!!! - AMAZING!!!
Khessed Faith (10/5): - I was very impressed with this hostel, a last minute emergency booked and checked in late but great service in English and good facilities, within 15 minute walk to Taipei main station.
Derrick Anthony (10/5): - Very clean, execellent facilities
XIA (8/5): - Good location. Walking distance to Taipei station and subway. Limited sitting eating drinking area on 2nd floor. Long walk from the stairs to dorm rooms.
ZHIKANG (6/5): - There is a hotel employee who lives in the unit, and believes he is staying long term. There is no problem with this, He is also a nice boy, but the problem is that because he is staying for a long time, the only common area of the room is occupied by his clothes and shoes to dry, we even have no enough of space to open our own suitcases, but every staff is very warm and helpful.
lei (10/5): Location location - Excellent location nearby Ningxia night market ，friendly staff ,the room rate is with yamm breakfast
Alain (10/5): - Great location for the ningxia night market
Laarni (10/5): - Very convenient and easily accessible
YU-CHIEN (10/5): - Very value hotel.
YU-CHIEN (10/5): - Very convenient area! My son left his gift on the bed and checked out. He called the hotel in the evening and tried to get it back. Fortunately, the hotel staff found it and called back to keep it. After he came back hotel from other places, he got it back from front desk. It’s very nice and cared staffs. Really appreciate them.
George (10/5): AMAZING - AMAZING
Vincent (8/5): - It was a great property, with good amenities and super helpful staff.

YU-CHIEN (10/5): - Good location!
Terence (10/5): - Great hotel. Awesome location.
Haw-Lih (10/5): - Clean, convenient, and cheap hotel. Good for rest and go. Internet is good, too.
George (10/5): IMPRESSIVE PERSONAL ATTENTION FROM HOTEL MANAGER - AMAZING CUSTOMER CARE FROM THE HOTEL MADAM MANAGER AND STAFF. I ALWAYS STAY HERE WHEN I AM IN TAIPEI.
Michel (10/5): - At first I had mistakenly booked a dorm room with 2 bunk beds which I thought I would be alone the first night I was alone then I realized they did have private rooms so for a small difference in price they accomodated me !!
Calvin (10/5): It’s Great! - Great place to stay! Great staff and close by. Would stay again!
Sally (2/5): - It wasn’t clear when I booked that the room I’d chosen had no windows. It felt like I’d booked myself into a prison cell.
Tetsuya (6/5): - The room has no windows.
Verified traveler (6/5): - Space too small, clothes rack insufficient. Location is good , very nearby Ning Xia Night Market.
JEFF (10/5): - They accommodated our late check in. Quick process. Decent amenities for the price. About a block and half away from a metro station stop.
Verified traveler (2/5): Would not recommend - Rejected at check in because they only had one bed left apparently even though we booked for two. And then we had to scramble to find another hotel.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel nearby to the night market, very convenient.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Very decent for its price. Decent location too since it is right beside a night market and not far from town.
Linda (10/5): t hotel in amazing location - Amazing location- hotel very clean and staff professional. Breakfast also very good.
George (10/5): AMAZING! - AMAZING!
George (10/5): AMAZING! - AMAZING!
NGCHEESIANG (10/5): - Nicely situated next to Ningxia night market, walking distance to Carrefour & Shuanglian mrt station. Lift from ground level to 2nd level (hotel). However as our room has windows next to the street level, frequent ambulance siren can be heard. Not enough parallel bars in toilet area to hang towels, though the toilet is pretty spacious and clean. Some of the towels very pretty old and torn. Very happy to know that the hotel breakfast has been extended from the previous 930 to 10am. Breakfast is simple and nice with 4 different main dishes everyday. If you are tired of the hotel breakfast, there are several food stall are ground level as it is a market during the day. At night, certain food stall are also open for business. If not, there's always night market. Overall, a value for money accommodation, definitely my choice for my third visit.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Every worker is kind and we could stay comfortably😌 I would like to stay here again
Verified traveler (10/5): - Helpful staff, good location and services. The variety of the breakfast changes everyday. I would highly recommend this hotel and stay here again when I visit Taipei next time.
JORGE A (10/5): - First approach in Taipei and very warm welcoming by the staff. They arranged everything to have an extra person. The room is perfect to rest and go next day to sightseeing. Very good breakfast
Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location. Next door to Ning Xia night market - great food. Close to metro and easy to navigate area. Reception staff were excellent and assisted with our enquires. Room facilities very good. Also had use of the dormitory pantry to use microwave. Hotel split into hotel rooms and hostel dormitories. It was great to mix with all age groups yet have a private room with great bathroom/ shower. Breakfast was very good with Asian choices.
Gilbert (10/5): - We had a pleasant stay at CU HOTEL. The front desk people were great.
Tienen (10/5): Wonderful stay! - The front desk is so responsive and so attentive whenever we needed anything. The AC was not very good the first night and we asked about it and immediately they fixed it. Very good hotel!
Verified traveler (10/5): - I really liked the privacy of this hotel. My wife and I could have been social if we wanted to (there were plenty of opportunities) however, we both got a little sick and just wanted to keep to ourselves. It was perfect for privacy and having some space. There’s a lot of really convenient shops that are right next to it to, so you can walk wherever you might need to go.
Verified traveler (8/5): - The location was great, and the hotel is very clean but some people of the staff are unplesant, especially at night.
Stanley (10/5): The only hotel provided snack time - It is closed to the night market. It is clean and spacious and modern. It even provided a snack time from 6pm to 9:30pm free of charge. The popcorn is tasty. The breakfast is good. I definitely will stay in this hotel whenever visiting Taipei again.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Good quality hotel for the right price, great location
T (10/5): - It has a hotel side and a hostel side. Location is great. Near a night market and the subway station. Bathroom is very clean and it also has a washing machine!
Percy (10/5): - Conveniently located in the area where lots of attractions are nearby. Varieties of breakfast is a plus. Wish there were more fresh fruit plates.
Verified traveler (4/5): - i request to change bunk bed . bcos my bed at ground floor near the door.there said full, however i saw my neibour check out .instead there request me to pay TWN600.if i want to change. serviced was not flexible. share toilet and bathroom are very compact. not good. only thing is location near to ningxia night market. stay other hotel if you have better choice.
Verified traveler (8/5): most things are good!, for backpacker... fit you~ - staying is fine. just need to know some rooms are no window. and very tiny room, no soundproof. other thing is fine. good breakfast, close night market, reasonable price. for backpacker is fine. for family......no.
Kelly (10/5): Comfortable and clean - It was nice, I slept comfortably. Only drawback was that my room didn’t have windows, but it was fine for me as I was only there to sleep anyway.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Good location. Room was ok clean and cosy. Near to NingXia Night Market
Verified traveler (8/5): - Excellent staff and services. Convenient location close to train and buses.
Melody grace (2/5): Was double charged and nobody seems to help!! - Although the hotel is clean and nice.. I had the worse experienced in this Hotel. I booked thru Hotels.com and was double charged evenif there's a disclaimer that it was not charged in my CC, still was asked to pay in cash upon checked-in reassuring that it will be charged back. My booking was last Nov 2018 and it's already Feb 2019 and until now i haven't receive my money. I've been contacting CU Hotel but all the contact details published are unreachable!! Ive contacted Hotels.com but they said it should contact you directly, nobody seems so helpful!! Please return my money!! I need my money back!
Verified traveler (10/5): - The staffs are very accomodating and the hotel itself is very clean.
Cynthia (8/5): - Good location and excellent service. The friendly staff allowed us to check in early at 2pm. Always very helpful. Highly recommended.
Tamara (8/5): - Really good rooms with plenty of privacy. However charge for use if bathroom slippers and locker whereas other places I stayed at, these were included in booking price. Laundry and dryer facilities very useful and good. Location slightly hard to find when arriving, entrance not clearly marked if walking to the hotel on the same side of the road as the hotel. Place to charge electronics in room was slightly coming off the wall so would be good if this was fixed.
Verified traveler (6/5): Average hotel in Datong area - First, the bad. We stayed at this hotel over the Christmas-New Year holidays. I travelled with my family (3 adults and 1 child), and informed the hotel before hand of the 3 adults staying. The hotel said it will charge me extra for the additional adult, which was fine. But I was surprised when they charged my child as a 4th adult. I complained to them about it, and the front desk said "child" is only up to 5 years old. My daughter was 8--so they charged her as an adult. I thought this was a bad guest service. Considering I paid 3 times the price for holiday premium, they could've waived my child's fee. (mind you, the additional fees did not give us an extra bed) That said, the hotel is located in the Datong Area of Taipei, which is west of the city. It is around a 10 minute walk from the Shuanglian Station (Red) line. So it's near the Shilin area. There is a Mcdonalds, MOS Burger, and Louisa Coffee along the way to the MRT Station. At night, the hotel is just next to the Ningxia Night Market. So, there is a lot of local food around the area. The room we got was a twin bed room. And these rooms don't have any windows. Size is small. But bed is comfortable, and A/C is good. TV has Chinese and English channels. Water bottles are regularly stocked. Bathroom is made of glass. There is frosting in the midsection, but still not much privacy. So I would avoid this hotel if you are travelling with friends. The breakfast time is between 7 to 9:30am (it's pretty tight).
Teo (8/5): - Room was comfortable. Water pressure good. Location superb, very near to ningxia night market. A little far from train statio though
Verified traveler (10/5): - Closely located jus next to Ningxia night market. There are several local food stall at level 1 for those who can't wake up earlier for hotel breakfast which ends at 930pm. Mos burger fast food outlet and a few dessert shops also nearby. Walking distance from mrt with a few "bumps" for those with wheeled luggage.
Kc (10/5): - good breakfast and the location is very near to the ningxia night market.
Lhie (10/5): - We had a comfortable stay at the hotel, the staffs were very accommodating and helpful to the guests. There were also freebies such as cookies and free hot drinks available for the guests at night. The hotel facilities were functional, clean and very accessible. We’ll definitely come back there!
Dobaba (8/5): - Over all this hostek was pretty good however we were unable to connect ti the internet in our roim which was an inconvieniance for us. We woukd recomnend to others but betree check internet availibilty i the room ahead of checking in.
Kikiko (10/5): - The location was great, just 5 minutes walk from the station(forgot the name). There are tons of restaurants, markets and massage places in the neighborhood. Nothing to complain.
Verified traveler (10/5): Great Location, Near Ningxia Night Market (寧夏夜市) - Clean, Reasonable Price
Eric (8/5): Clean & bright with space-constrains. - No cupboard for more pillows (for comfort, some people want more than 1 pillow). Bathroom was tiny. Light buttons/switches were counter-intuitive. Bathroom slippers were flimsy/low-quality.
Kee Theng (10/5): Short Get away holiday - This hotel have the best location. It is surrounded by local economy food of many selection. Great for tourist and those going for business. As for transportation, it is situated in area where access to bus and taxi are easy.
Verified traveler (10/5): Facilities nice, clean and well organize - I really satisfied with CU Hotel I'd booked online. The facilities are clean and well organize.Friendly staffs and very helpful about all the tourist information in the City.The location is accesible to anywhere.
Tanu (10/5): - Service was excellent. Stuff went out of their way to please. The room was small but exceptionally clean. Authentic breakfast was quite good with variety Chinese menu selection.
Verified traveler (6/5): - Hotel is located right next to night market and 6 minutes walk to subway station.I stay in a room without window which is fine with me. The housekeeping is inefficient, they clean my room at evening. There are only 2 English news channels.
minbin (8/5): accessbility - it is a pleasant stay at CU. The location is very accessible.
Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel with convenient transportation - Clean and cozy room. You can find many things for dining nearby. Very satisfied service. Recommend this hotel to the tourists.
Verified traveler (8/5): Convenient location - The location of the hotel near the MRT, just walk by a few minutes. It has a lot of restaurants and food selling stores nearby. We can try some local food there. The basic facilities are presented. It is suitable for leisure stay.
Christine (8/5): Hotel just next to night market - Wonderful staff. Great service. Walking distance to Shuang Lian Station. Lots of food. Night market is just downstairs. Fantastic for foodies
kevin (10/5): Clean and close to subway station - Room is small but bed size is very comfortable. Equipments are up-to-date. Staffs are very nice and helpful. they even provide breakfast. Close to Taipei subway station. It is a pleasant surprise to find this small and comfortable hotel in the heart of the city.
MaryAnn (8/5): Good Stay - I booked the single room (careful not to book a single bed since this hotel is also a hostel). I wasn't able to stay the full reservation but for the time I was there, it was nice. The room was clean but a little small. I wasn't able to comfortably put all my luggage out. Shampoo and body wash were in dispensers in the shower and not in individual bottles, which I didn't care for. The free breakfasts which came with the package required coupons which I had to contact the front desk staff for daily. It would have made sense to have given me all the tickets at once instead or keep a ledger of the qualified rooms at the dining room reception. Otherwise, it was a good stay. To the right of the hotel (upon exiting) is the Shuanglian subway station (about 5 minutes away). To the left is the Ning Xia night market. Staff spoke English just fine and was accommodating. If I ever return to Taipei, I would stay again.
Verified traveler (6/5): Comfortable, convenient, easy - Very nice, modern, clean hotel. Very nice front desk staff. Nothing spectacular about facilities when compared to typical American hotels but when compared to Japanese business hotels, more space to move around and when compared to some SE Asia hostels, definitely very clean and makes you able to relax. Breakfast and free afternoon snacks left much to be desired but very convenient to lots of good local, cheap food. Very convenient to train, main station, night market and local markets. Room comfort low because no window and guests can be noisy in the hall.
Richard (8/5): Reasonably Good Hotel in City - Room is new and clean, Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Hotel offers afternoon snacks and beverage for travellers. Hotel also within walking distance to train station.
Leon (10/5): Great stay - Absolutely no problems wif our stay. Staff was friendly and facilities were decent. Great value for money
Verified traveler (10/5): Great location and friendly service! - If you're looking for a good deal without having to sacrifice comfort this is it. The hotel is very close to an MRT station and the area around it is worth your time to explore. The staff is friendly and helpful and the entire property is very clean. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone.
Verified traveler (8/5): - It was good! Will return here for sure! Just add some directions or signage on how to get to this hotel maybe on the MRT Shuanglian Station
Jetdillo (8/5): Asian Fastidiousness at a hostel price... - The CU Hotel is squirreled away between shops and food stalls about a 7 minute hike from the Shunglian MRT station and half a block away from the Ningxia Food Night Market. My room was clean, all appliances and fixtures in good working order. Western-style toilet and shower w/ good water-pressure. Bottled water provided free of charge daily. My room faced out onto the street on the 3000-series side, and I went to bed and woke up to the growl of 2-cycle scooters which ply the streets day and night. This was actually only annoying the last night I was there, probably because it was a Monday(which appears to be a weekend day of a sort in Taiwan). The breakfast provided was quite good, a mixture of things on offer: Noodles w/ vegetables, Congee, eggs, Bao, fruit, and a small set-out of cereal-and-milk for westerners who really wanted it. Coffee, tea and juice were also provided. I had a private room, although the Hotel also has multi-bed dorm rooms you can book as well. I think it would be hard to beat as a private room for the price w/ out actually going to a global chain hotel.
Christopher (10/5): Excellent choice - Awesome experience
Jimmy (8/5): Great location and reasonable price - Clean,spacey room. I specially like the bed curtain for some privacy. And the storage locker is bigger than usual. 😊
SUSAN (8/5): a clean and a mixture of hotel and hostel - overall my stay with the hotel is nice. there was free breakfast and free evening snacks from 6-9pm. the hotel is almost perfectly clean. there are many eateries beside the hotel. nearby is a wet market and a night market. but the dorm room is quite small that if fully booked there is no space to store and open the luggages. there is no even provision for hanging or drying clothes. the pantry is quite small and there is no tables and chairs within. this hotel is not so close to mrt. you have to cross a big highway to reach the mrt.
