Reviews of Beauty Hotels Taipei - HOTEL BSTAY Self Check In 3 stars

Location is good

You can hear everything from others rooms. IT WAS VERY NOISY

Staff unfriendly

The location was within walking distance to a MRT

The ‘hotel’ is not a hotel at all. It is more of a accommodation It located in a 10 storey building which houses 2 travel agencies, another 2 level of accommodation known as Stay Inn, a union, and 2 other companies. It has a front desk with no staff Our superior room only has a passage to walk and no proper cupboard to keep our clothes We felt cheated As a real hotel down the room has rates cheaper than what we paid

It’s very accessible to bus and mrt stations as it is located near Taipei Main Station. Down the hotel, there are Family Mart, 7/11, and Coffee Shop.

Perfact fancy bath/shower room

The location was great. I like how clean it was, and the bed was also nice.

It was a bit small, but it was ok.

Location was great, very convenient. Room was clean and comfortable.

The self check in was complicated, as we had to pay at the property, the maximum charge was 3000NTD per payment, so if your charge is a higher amount, you will need to tap several times to pay the full amount. Best to make sure your card is able to pay the overseas charge multiple times or have other cards on standby.

Bathtub

See thru toilet where you could only cover it with a curtain from the outside

Nice hotel, no staff if need only will come over don’t know from where.

Minimum need one staff, so if got problem we still can ask..

Location

No one at front desk except a housekeeper (which we learned later); she merely pointed at the machine for self check-in. Fair enough. Then I had a question so I called "9" per the instructions. While speaking (in English) to someone on the phone, the housekeeper all of a sudden approaches me and motions for me to move away from the machine or sign out because a couple (who spoke Mandarin) were asking her something. That is not good customer service! I did not appreciate that treatment. I said, NO, I need to finish my transaction. Eventually the front desk staff arrived in 5-10 minutes to assist us. There was a loud noise in the room which was determined to be arising from the air conditioner hence we were offered to relocate to another room. It took a couple of calls to "9" then serious attention was rendered. Walls are very thin, no insulation so loud noises can be heard from neighboring rooms & hallway.

Location was great for walking to attractions and close to public transit. The size and amenities were good. House keeping came every day to clean trash, refresh room, and change towels. New linens on request. Staff was always friendly and helpful. English speaking or used google translate for longer/in depth conversations.

Styling was off. There was a curtain to give the bathroom privacy that was awkward to open/clothes. There was a red light that stay on all the time, which was annoying when trying to sleep. Leaving luggage at front desk was advertised, but the desk is mainly unmanned and check in/out is done through a kiosk, so your luggage isn't secured.

It's a 5 minute walk from the Shuanglian MRT station and very convenient for getting to the main station and around Taipei. We stayed for a week and it was decently comfortable for two people for that time frame. The room is not too cramped and the bathroom amenities and shower were very nice. The area has plenty of restaurants and shops, and interesting things to explore on foot. Housekeeping did a great job everyday we were there. There is a security guard downstairs all the time so it seems fairly safe. The family mart and 7/11 on either side of the entrance to the building was also extremely convenient.

They do not have someone actually at the lobby desk 24/7, you check in on a machine and the payment is a bit confusing to figure out. There is a phone to call if you need assistance with something but they may not come right away. Fair amount of noise from the street but it sounds like most hotels in the area also have the same issue. The most annoying part was the bad hotel guests next door for a few nights (not the hotels fault, of course), extremely loud in the middle of the night for hours. But trying to communicate this on the phone with the staff with our limited Mandarin was difficult. I tried messaging over booking the second night and they never responded to our message. We came back from a long day out the third night and there was someone at the desk while our neighbours were blasting music so we were finally able to get the staff to intervene. There is no official luggage storage as it states on booking. You just put in behind the unstaffed front desk and hope that no one goes through your things.

Very close to the 雙蓮 MRT station, which connects to the 中山 underground shopping street and park. Also walking distance from the famous night market 寧夏夜市. There are two convenient stores on the ground floor of the building. The location is close to the Taipei train station and nearby attractions. Check-in and check-out are done on the self-help machine. The price is reasonable. Recommended for budget-limited stay.

1. the voices and sounds from neighouring rooms leak in. There was one night when the young were laughing and cheering ... 2. some bottons of the TV remote controller fail to work, which makes it impossible to navigate in the VOD system. I can imagine why : )
