Forever Inn

This hotel worked out very well for me during the last week of my four weeks in Taiwan. It has a washing machine and dryer, so I got a break from washing out socks and shirts every night. The room layout was functional and comfortable: there was plenty of surface area to lay out my stuff neatly. Helpful staff are on duty from early morning until late evening. Note: look for the door to the hotel around the corner of the building. The location is great: Family Mart, 7-Eleven and the MRT stop are a few minutes away by foot. (The MRT’s elevated Wenhu line is quite pleasant: be sure to take it in the Nangang direction for a nice view of the Songshan airport.) The hotel is close to an upscale neighborhood, so there are Italian, Japanese and Szechuan restaurants on the same block, as well as a busy international pub across the street with everything from hamburgers and pizza to fried rice (My Other Place.) You can find a PX-Mart grocery in a nearby family neighborhood, and in the other direction is an NTU campus with the kinds of food stalls and other stores that students thrive on.
