Waterfront Hotel

Simple yet thoughtful amenities and toiletries provided for guests. Had to walk a little to the hotel , and train station is slightly further from Taipei main station. It is right next to Raohe night market. Will recommend if you’re keen to visit this part of Taiwan.

Distance from Taipei main station

I think the location was superb! It is very close to the Raohe night market and Songshan market, so it made dinner plans a lot easier and more affordable than most especially after a long and tiring day of walking. Being this close to the market also made it easier to eat nearby the Rainbow Bridge or the hotel instead of inside the market, since the market itself was very hot and uncomfortable after a while. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating with our requests, and I also liked that there was readily accessible clean water that we can fill our bottles with. They also let us stay downstairs in the common area even though we have checked out which I appreciated. I also loved the location since it's right at the end of the green line, so we were comfortably seated when we ride the MRT.

I thought the ad was a bit misleading since in the picture it advertised a shared bathroom for the room but we ended up sharing the bathroom with the whole floor. I also did not like the pillows and beds - it made it very hard to sleep despite having 2 beds each but must be just my preference. There was also no bidet in the toilet. Minute things that didn't add up to making it comfortable, but I would still stay here due to the proximity to the market.
