Guide Hotel Taipei Bade

Very basic no frills. I originally booked the standard room but found that windows there actually faced another building wall and very claustrophobic. I upgraded my room and paid extra to the street facing side room with view of Taipei 101. Provided with two pillows only for a superior room with queen size bed. Room was made up daily as expected.

Shops are very close.

Not so clean , room old and smelly

The room was worn and beat up looking. The outside window facing a wall was super dirty. The bathroom had tiles and plumbing that needed updating. There was no hand soap, so you had to reach into the shower for body soap after you used the restroom. I asked for soap, and was told they can’t supply it via Taiwan rules, however another hotel I stayed at supplied it. On the plus side, the hotel was pretty close to a good night market and good restaurants. The subway was also pretty close. The room was pretty clean and the beds were fine. You got bottled water every day and the housekeeping cleaned every day.

Overall you get what you pay for. Staff was nice and friendly but the property definitely seen better days. The rooms were much older than the pictures on Expedia, and the shower took forever to get warm. Location was great though
