Hotel Relax V

Fantastic location- just a few minutes walk to Taipei Main station, and surrounded with plenty of food, great breakfast places and shops. However, the room is quite tight for 2 pax- hard to open the luggage. The space is fully optimised by having the hangers at the top. The toilet bowl is superb with Japanese warming seat style.

Location is fairly convenient, walking distance to Taipei Main Station via Z10 exit through the underground shopping mall. However it's only stairs here at this exit. I got a single room and it's really small, even for 1 person. Clever use of lots of mirrors to make the room feel bigger but overall still a very small space. Bed is firm, room is clean but reeked of stale cigarette smell, probably from years ago. Basic amenities are provided. Open wardrobe concept is good. They provide refillable water station on L1 as part of the green measures. Hotel can also arrange for airport transfers to Taoyuan Airport at NTD1300 per way for up to 4 pax. They also offered free beer but it can only be redeemed at their sister hotel, Relax II, a short walk away. Staff are friendly and helpful, I was impressed the front desk gentleman could remember me and informed me that my car pickup has arrived just as I stepped into the hotel after going out for breakfast. Unfortunately the room quality is not up to mark for me, they'll need to do some refurbishment to the hardware, including those carpet outside the room. I'm glad it's only for a night.

Very near to Taipei station but the hotel will have smoking smell
