ARK Hotel-Chang'an Fuxing

Room smells very strongly of cigarettes which was very unpleasant

To preface, this is a budget-friendly hotel that gets the job done. However, I would not recommend staying here due to several factors: 1) The AC kept turning off in the middle of the night. There was no way for it to run all throughout the night, so many times my daughter and I would wake up in the middle of the night covered in sweat while desperately trying to turn the AC back on. This could possibly be due to how this hotel is eco-friendly, so the AC conserves energy. 2) There was a strange, foul stench in the bathroom for the 5 days we stayed here. I thought it would go away after the first day or two but it smelt like wet soggy vegetables. 3) It was not possible to turn off one of the main lights besides taking out our hotel card out of the compartment by the room door that powers everything in the room (lights, even wifi). The light was so bright that we were unable to sleep at night, so we ended up taping some paper to cover the light so we could sleep at night. 4) We found a cockroach in our bed sheets one day. That speaks for itself. Once again, I understand this is an eco-friendly, budget-friendly hotel that is good for its job of resting and showering, but I would not return here for these reasons.

Great place to stay convenient to close by restaurants and MRT, would definitely stay here again when I come back to Taipei. Price of the hotel is reasonable.

It’s ok. Didn’t even know breakfast was available.

The room i stayed in this time is a bit dated...but the staff working there are very helpful & friendly and the location is excellent!!!

It's well located between 2 metroline. Convenient location.

Room is clean but barely enough space for 4 people. There are so

They kept our luggage's for 3 days during our short trip before we checked in again for a later stay. See a more detailed review for that stay.

I was worried after reading some Google reviews commenting drainage issues, unfriendly staff... We didn't experience any issues and liked this cozy hotel with a location that is close to a great fruit supplier, Liaoning night market, and convenience stores. There is a nice sitting area that supplies coffee, juice, and a microwave oven. 4 star because we got a bath towel with holes in it.

Good

Easy check in. Clean rooms and hot showers

There was an active leak in the washroom from upstairs. Half of the ceiling was grey/black from the leak.

It’s basically a hostel with private bathrooms

This place is fine for a couple any age it’s simple and user friendly and rooms are clean and neat Definately would stay there again

Place is okay, there is a bus stop right in front.

There are 2 Ark hotels, easy to go to wrong one! Room small, needs updating

Not applicable

the room lighting needs to be brighter

Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was not worth its value .

Nice staff. Room is spacious & clean.
