2-Star Hotels in Taiwan, China

The first time I stayed in a guesthouse reception was strange not in the hotel I was staying in. It was strange to enter from this door. The walls were dirty when I was given the room for the first time. The price is not too cheap either.

MY Honest Review of My Stay at Sleep Box Hotel My recent stay at the Sleep Box Hotel left me with a few concerns, particularly for solo backpackers like myself. Here's what I experienced: The capsule accommodation offered little to no privacy. If you're looking for a space where you can relax and unwind in peace, this may not meet your expectations. I found the capsule to be uncomfortable. It was hot inside, and there were no free towels provided, which I believe is a basic necessity fior any traveller. Additionally, the absence of entertainment amenities, such as a television or other forms of distraction, made the experience less enjoyable. On top of that, noise was strictly prohibited, which made it even more uncomfortable for those who wish to interact or enjoy a social environment. The biggest disappointment was the state of the facilities, which I found to be dirty and poorly maintained. The overall atmosphere did not match the level of cleanliness and comfort I had hoped for. Tips for Backpackers: If you are a backpacker looking for budget-friendly accommodation, I would advise you to reconsider your expectations before booking at Sleep Box Hotel. The price might be tempting, but it's crucial to weigh what you're getting in return. Ensure you bring your own towel and be prepared for the heat inside the capsule. Additionally, if you value privacy and cleanliness, you might want to explore other options that offer more comfort and better amenities. To attract more tourists, it would be beneficial for the hotel to improve their cleanliness standards and offer basic necessities such as towels, fans, or air conditioning inside the capsules. Offering at least some form of entertainment or creating a more social-friendly environment could also elevate the overall experience for backpackers.

Pros: Great location in central Taipei. The bedding was clean. Price was good. There is a common room with kitchen in the basement. The lockers were good to put your bags away in securely. Check out time of 11.30am was more generous than most places. The water in the showers was a good temperature. Cons: The guy I got on the check in was curt to the point of rudeness. The toilet seat in the male dorm kept falling down, so you could stand peeing trying to hold it up or pee through the hole. Not ideal. Lots of mosquitoes in the basement. There are endless little signs telling you not to do certain things and that “violators” will be fined - this didn’t seem like the fun implied by the name “Fun Inn”. The toilets smelt like pee - quite possibly due to the aforementioned toilet seat issue.

I chose the girls' quadruple room. The lights in the room were a bit dim, but overall it was very clean. There were toothbrushes, towels and bottles of water in the cabinet, which was quite thoughtful! The toilet is indoors, which is very convenient. Overall, it is a backpacker inn with good location, good service and high CP.

This is my second time in Taipei. This hotel makes my solo trip more fulfilling. Comfortable, clean, and the staff are friendly. The bed and sheets are comfortable. The shower room is clean and has hot water. If I come to Taipei again, I would like to stay at this hotel again.

It was a good stay, the bathroom and toilet surprisingly clean and no unpleasant smell. They have refrigerate to keep the food and drinks, Cold air-con, lobby and balcony to sit and gather around, coffee, water dispenser, microwave, personal locker, and more. Definitely not for light sleepers and it will be quite troublesome to bring medium-big size luggage.

For a very convenient stay very close to the Taoyuan airport , and the very useful Gloria Outlet. Along with walking distance to the High speed and MRT trains. This hotel offers everything.. Off street free Parking and a courteous staff who's able to assist you 24 hours a day. Private and semi private bathrooms to choose from.

The room is not big, but it is very convenient for just a short stay for one night. It is very close to the high-speed rail station (5-7 minutes walk). It takes about 15-20 minutes to Taoyuan Airport. The place is relatively biased. There is no convenience store around. It is recommended to buy food at the high-speed rail station and then go to the restaurant. The bathroom is shared, but it is very clean. WiFi signal is also full, staying for one night is very affordable

I stay there for 5 nights, location is so good, you can just walk to underground tunnels at M8 to go to Taipei Main Station. There's many station bus to go around the city as well. but i got the solo room, the wall is thin so you can even hear the alarm of your neighbor😅. if you just gonna stay there for a short time it would be okay.

My reason to stay - had to stay one more night to catch a flight from Songshan Airport, but didn't want to spend a lot of $$. Location - It was only 40 mins away from the airport and only cost 25 TWD to the airport. - The location is very good if you are planning to look around Ximen area; it is close to Donkihote, Temple, Art museum, Carrefour etc Amenities - there is a free ear plug. - Loved that they gave fresh towels, shampoo, body wash, and slippers. Room - The room was a bit cold, but the blanket is warm enough to sleep well. - The room was quite at night. You could hear alarm in the morning, but you cannot hear people snoring. You can only hear when you are in the hallway. When you leave the room - you have to return your key and reclaim it when you are back. I found this interesting. Overall - The room is very small, and you can only fit your luggage. However, if you are going to stay for a couple nights or in a tight budget, I would highly recommend staying here.

The soundproofing is very poor. You can hear the quarrels and conversations between men and women next door very clearly. When lying on the bedside watching TV, the mattress will move forward and slide around. The bed frame has no latches or baffles to fix the mattress.

It was nice and convenient. The location has a lot of local eateries but pls be careful as most of these are tourists traps with poor tasting food and high prices. However it’s still possible to find gems here such as this ice cream shop.

Stayed in a sea view room in Kaohsiung Building 85 for 3 nights. The room was finally spacious and clean. There are 2 sofas and a glass coffee table in the living room for use. The sea view outside the window shows the beautiful scenery around Kaohsiung Port. The scenery day and night is attractive. You can stare at it for a while. You will feel relaxed and happy. The air-conditioning temperature in the room is comfortable. Unfortunately, the shower tank feels a bit cramped. The shower gel is only provided in small packages. I believe it is not enough for most accommodation. Therefore, I went downstairs to buy it at my own expense. , this is a shortcoming, I hope the landlord will pay attention to it and make a review.

This accommodation type (R210) does not have a refrigerator, a dining table, or a wardrobe. There is only a storage table and a wooden bench. It is inconvenient to eat or use the computer, and it is impossible to hang clothes. The front desk staff are pretty good and can answer any questions you may have. Toothbrushes and slippers are not provided in the room, you can purchase them at the counter. It is recommended that Trip describe this situation in the accommodation description field so that the orderer can clearly understand it. Thanks!

A lot of personal space in the common area. The bathroom also have lots of stations for hair blow dry and brushing :) Good value for money overall!

Free bread. Free coffee. Free tea. Hot water. Slippers provided. Can use washing machine for 30 NT. Clean. Friendly room mates. Nice place. Near San Duo station. Near malls. Near Starbucks. Near 7-11. Foods on the street. And so on. However, there is no receptionist available at midnight compared to other countries. Doesn’t have shoe rack. So the shoes are scattered on the floor outside. Pictures attached for proof. Overall, it was a great experience and I would love to book with them again. 🙂😉😊

I stayed on the 2nd floor. Many families checked in that day. I could hear children crying and talking everywhere. The sound insulation needs to be improved. I was very satisfied with the DIY waffles, chicken cakes and hot pressed toast for breakfast, which added to the enjoyment of children's meals. pleasure.

Very close to Beautiful Island. . It's closer to Liuhe Night Market and just downstairs. . There are many delicious food nearby. . The price is also very cheap. The only drawback is that when I open the bathroom door, there are a lot of toilet paper scraps on the floor next to the toilet. Everything else is ok

There were only small cockroaches, but the service staff were very kind and the location was good. It was close to the night market and there were a lot of places to eat. It was easy to drive to anywhere. I would stay again if I had the chance.

It was located near the center of town and was convenient to access. Finding it was a tad tricky due to it being in an alleyway. This would be the premier choice if you're looking for a cheap, spartan, yet extremely clean place to sleep. Showers and toilets are shared. Access is by keyed combinations sent to one's phone by text, which was unusual. There were rooms that were accessed by more traditional keys and keycards.

It was a very convenient location, just a 5-minute walk from Kaohsiung Station. The dining area on the basement floor offers coffee, soft drinks, ice cream, steamed meat buns, and more 24 hours a day, and the location and service are very good value for money. There was always a staff member at the front desk who would greet me, so I had a pleasant stay.

Temporary trip to Kaohsiung The price is very cheap and it’s an 8-minute walk from the Arena MRT station. 5 minutes walk behind Hanshin Dome The location is very good There was a smell of smoke when I checked in that day, so I contacted the staff for feedback. Because it was full that day, I couldn’t change it, but I just wanted to ventilate it. Very suitable for temporary stay and convenient Others are just ordinary

The staff is really nice and helpful, they gave me good recommandations for Tainan and my next trips as well, I cancelled my last nights because I changed my plans and they gave me a refund. There are workshops every evening (learning how to make coffee, cocktails,...) in a friendly atmosphere so it's easier to meet people from Taiwan and travelers from other countries alike. The hostel is really well located, just next to the train station so it's very convenient. The hostel entrance is located inside the Family Mart. There are several showers, toilets and the washing machine is free, so as the breakfast. Highly recommend!!! :)

When checking in 8/20, the service staff first arranged in room B03. When checking in, they found that the air conditioner had been turned on and the remote control was set to 16 degrees, but the air conditioner detection showed that the temperature in the room was 27 degrees. After half an hour of observation, they found that the air conditioner only sent out the normal temperature wind, no cold wind came out. (Photos are attached to this review to view) So the first time I responded to the service staff, I was asked to send someone to the engine room to check the repairs. Later, I waited for another 10 minutes. The second time I reflected to the service staff, the response was ”the machine room is located inside a room, the room is occupied so there is no way to overhaul the air-conditioning outdoor machine”. I asked if I could help change the room. The room staff replied ”Yes”. Then the staff began to tidy up the next room B04. When the service staff is sorting out room B04, I follow the staff into room B04 to check the condition together. The staff knows that I care if the air conditioner is normal, so turn on the air conditioner and ask if I can accept it. I am sure the cold air has started to be delivered. and agreed to change to this room. But the service staff also told me that the faucet on the bathroom sink in Room B04 was inconvenient to use because the fixer fell off. I asked if I could not accept it. I wanted to say that I had already trouble the other party to help me change the room. The faucet was a small matter, so I responded acceptable. Then the staff began to tidy up the B04 room. After about 10 minutes, I changed my room card to room B04 with my friends and colleagues. On the same night, close to 23:50, when I returned to my room, I found that the abnormal low water pressure caused the shower head to have less water and no hot water, and found that the toilet did not contain water, so I reluctantly washed the cold water with lower water pressure.

After checking in, I found that the photo looked that the number of pings was not small. The actual double room was about the size of the single room. The room I stayed in was faulty. There was a problem with the shower head. When I opened the water column, the water pressure of the shower head was insufficient. It took a long time to take a bath. The friend's room only has a dim yellow light, even returning to the room to watch TV is very difficult! The door of the hotel room is only wooden door, the room is very small, the bed is too close to the door, the sound insulation effect is equal to 0, the next door neighbor is saying everything clearly, the friend is noisy by the next room until two or three in the middle of the night to fall asleep, the next morning was attacked by the smell of smoke, It is really difficult for people to accept ⋯ When checking out, I met a small housekeeper and reported to the other party. Although the housekeeper immediately went upstairs to check if there was a smell of smoke, there was time for the early morning check-out at 11 o'clock, the room was open and the smell was long gone. In fact, we just want the hotel to apologize or tell us that we will strengthen the non-smoking label of the room space after we tell us, instead of the other way around, you didn't smell the smoke ⋯⋯ Is the taste of the morning a fantasy? The problem of the shower head failure also said that we can immediately reflect and will help change the room, but the bath time is already late at night, and no one will check all the equipment immediately. Do the guests have to drag their tired bodies before going to bed and change the room? Did the last tenant not clean the bathroom floor after checking out, so did not notice that the bathroom faucet was wrong? Moreover, there is only one or two toilet paper in the two rooms. Since it is packed in the noodle carton, it is found that there is no paper when using it. Although you can get a supplementary package downstairs, it shows that the little housekeeper is completely indifferent to the details. The password informed when you check in, When we went back, we could not use it due to machine and equipment problems. Although we arrived early to store our luggage, the housekeeper should inform us immediately if the equipment malfunctioned. We returned to rest at 4 pm for a while during the prescribed stay. There was no way to open the door. If it weren't for the cleaning staff still there, no one would help open the door. ⋯ The housekeeper called us after the check-in time to inform us that the password lock was changed. ⋯ Overall, this homestay is an unqualified accommodation experience. I will not consider returning to Tainan next time.

The hotel has been reorganized and is very neat and clean. The service staff are friendly and the parking space is easy to find. Breakfast is included with the reservation. The hours are 7:00-11:30, and the latest check-out is 12:00. Just suitable for guests like us who can't get up early, there is an outdoor smoking area on the top floor where you can watch the stars, and there is also a massage chair in the entertainment room! Right next door is Laerfu, which is very convenient.

You can feel the friendly service when you check in. It is very close to Wusheng Night Market. You can reach it within 10 minutes by taking a slow walk. Although the room is not big, you must praise the water pressure and temperature of the shower head. It is very praiseworthy😂 Breakfast is Tainan's authentic milkfish belly porridge. There is a lot of fish. The fish balls are delicious and the kids love them! I didn’t take a picture of the breakfast, but I also included Miao Sao’s salty crispy chicken for late night snack, so you need to book in advance!

I saw a new hotel recommended by netizens on the Internet, and the room type I chose to stay in was a double room, which also came with breakfast. The service staff in the lobby on the first floor are gentle. There is a shared scooter right at the door, and there are two night markets nearby within 10 minutes. It is a very convenient location. The room is spacious and clean. The air conditioning is already turned on as soon as you enter the room. The only drawback is that the room is close to the road and you can hear the sounds of cars outside. There is access control at night and parking space is limited. Passengers in need are recommended to park early.

This time I was in a hurry and decided to book this hotel after simply reading the reviews. Because I was not familiar with Tainan, I just wanted to be close to the Dadong Night Market and decided to book it. Fortunately, I didn’t make the wrong choice. Overall, it was very good. Well, the different staff at the front desk were also very kind and courteous. Except for finding long threads of dust floating on the ceiling above the pillow on the bed, everyone else was very satisfied.

Neat and tidy Bright lighting Has a bathtub Good sound insulation There are two parking spaces downstairs Parking around is also convenient Overall, the CP value is very high the only problem I stayed for four days and the elevator was broken for two days. It's a bit hard to climb to the fifth floor

I booked the small petite room with my own attached bathroom. It’s right across the elevator, which means traffic/noise. First night was quite okay. 2nd night wasn’t so great. First floor common area got a big group of gatherings. Noses flared up to 3rd floor from time to time till 10:40pm, although it was stated quiet time from 10pm. Room is very small for sure. Soundproof wasn’t great. Exhaust fans were making noises too. Location is great, close to bus stops, food, and tourist spots.

Because it was all the way to play down the south, it was already 10 o'clock when it arrived. Fortunately, there was an appointment for the night light bird service, so that we did not have the pressure of check-in time. The overall layout is exquisite and cute. The location is very convenient next to Hai'an Road. After playing with friends in Tainan all night, you don't want to go too far. Eat and stroll around, return to the hostel also has wireless wifi, the bed is very comfortable, friends slip and fall asleep.
