You can't help but exclaim: "Why didn't I discover this place earlier!" From service to facilities, it outshines others in the same category. No wonder you'll want to forget all the bad experiences from previous stays.
🌟 "VIP Treatment" Stay Experience
• The receptionist greeted me with a warm smile and said, "We've upgraded you using your Marriott suite voucher! Although we don't have traditional suites, our Mountain View Balcony Room offers stunning views!"
• The balcony faces the "Xiaoyoukeng Mountain View" directly! Enjoying a cup of tea on the lounge chair in the morning while watching the misty mountain tops instantly made me feel "this was worth every penny." The room is more spacious than W Hotel, with a separate wet and dry bathroom, and even a "bath salt ball" next to the tub—attention to detail is on point ✅
🛋️ "Facility Enthusiasts Rejoice" Hidden Advantages
• Outshines other hotels in the same price range: Opened in 2020, everything is brand new! The gym, though compact, is fully equipped with cardio machines (and features floor-to-ceiling windows with mountain views). The outdoor pool, while not large, has blue tiles and a mountain backdrop, making it feel like a vacation abroad.
• Lounge is practically a "coffee shop alternative": The complimentary lattes are made with "illy premium coffee beans," rich and smooth without acidity—better than the NT$250 cup in the lobby! In the evening, they serve hot snacks like beef rolls and radish cakes, perfect for those who don't want to go out for dinner.
📍 "Remote but Worth It" Location Logic
• Not in the city center like Xinyi District or Ximending, but "super convenient for key attractions"!
✅ A 10-minute taxi ride to "National Palace Museum" (no need to rush during peak hours to see the Jadeite Cabbage)
✅ A 15-minute walk to "Shilin Night Market" (perfect for trying local snacks like the Big Pancake Wrapped Around Small Pancake and Frog Eggs)
✅ A 20-minute drive to "Beitou Hot Springs," where you can soak and then return to the hotel to relax.
• Key point! Room rates are 30%+ cheaper than hotels in the city center, and the savings easily cover daily taxi rides to and from downtown.
💡 Summary: Who is this hotel for?
• Marriott members: Use suite vouchers to upgrade to a Mountain View Room for unbeatable value.
• "Escape + Sightseeing" travelers: Perfect for those who want to avoid crowded areas but still visit attractions like the Palace Museum and Beitou Hot Springs with ease.
• Facility lovers: Ideal for those tired of old hotels and who appreciate brand-new amenities and mountain views.
