Shin Shin Hotel

This was one of the worst hotels I ever stayed. The room smelled bad and looked dark, the ceiling was awfully low, and its bathroom was small and dirty. It is in the busy area but surely with the amount of money we paid, we could’ve stayed somewhere much better. It is a total rip off. This hotel should not be rated as three stars. We are very disappointed in the Expedia’s false advertising as well.

Building too old. Air conditioning too noisy and hard working. Elevator really old and slow, the door of elevator can’t open and close right way.

The whole building is old, therefore, I understand my expectations can't be too high. However, there is one thing I couldn't get it. The tissue holder is installed at the position close to toilet's water tank which means I need to turn around my body to get the tissue when I need it. It doesn't make sense to me. The tissue holder is supposed to be installed at a reachable position (ex : side or front), not at back. BTW, the sign shows we can't toss the tissue paper to the toilet because it will clog the toilet.

The hallway carpet is filthy. The rooms are located in a busy street. Wven past midnight you can here the cars driving paat the street.

Get the leake fixed. But still a good spot with a big bed

Pretty good stay with a great price, rooms are clean

We expect nice ambiance since the posted photo is very nice but they send us on 8th floor its so untidy specially the entrance of our room👎

The hotel is on the 4th floor, with15 rooms or so. Walking distance to Ximending night market. Rooms with windows facing the street can be very noisy as there are many motorbikes even at night.

Cozy place with good location. It was a great stay.

The place was near Ximending district. Easily accesible for food, goods and other shops. There's a 7 eleven right beside if you want quick buys. The MRT Ximen station is about a 10 minute walk. The place is nice. There's always a staff in the desk. The roon is nice with toiletries. The lights give the room a great ambience. The windows are large and shows a nice view of the city. Overall, definitely a nice hotel.

Location is a bit far from tge MRT.

Staff was accomodating

I’m not really that picky, but there were several random hairs in the bed. The shower was also not very clean. Also, the elevator was down when I visited.

Got a spacious room with 2 big windows, comfy king size bed, comfy chair, water, toiletries, Tea and coffee. bathroom also spacious with a good shower. however. Very weak unstable wifi, not enough light in the room, Got 2 towels with holes, which is a shame because another towel was practically new. Booked 3 nights, but room was not made up at all after the first night, although it says daily room makeup.

Not really anything good about is hotel. Small room n not clean at all. I wouldn’t recommend

The property close to the Station but not that close, we have to take taxi. Out site of property looks dirty, run down, it appears no attention to renovation. Room is too small, there is no breakfast. There is limited crackers. It is cheap compares to USA, but it not in Taipei. There is many hostels better than this.

I stayed here on my first night in Taiwan and gave a 5 out of 5 "glowing" review. On my last night in Taiwan, I made the same reservation as the first night, but when I arrived there was an older gentleman and a younger lady, and saw I was only staying for 1 night. The man was to show me the room and said it is on the 8th floor. (The Hotel is on the 4th). When we got to the 8th floor, it was apparent that this was a storage floor with garbage and boxes scattered all around. He walked over to a big steel locked gate, in front of another door. He unlocked the gate and opened the door and indicated this is my room. I looked inside and there was a dilapidated old (windowless) room which was about as appalling a room as I have ever seen. I said this is not what I paid for and I cannot stay here. We went back to the 4th floor and he was on the phone fr abut 10 minutes and then took me to a room on the 4th (across from where I attend last time) This room was better but not near as nice as the room I gave the great review for, previously. I asked why they would do such a thing as this, but their English was not good. Expedia should contact this hotel and ensure nothing like this happens again.

I am a frequent traveler and like to stay in value type accomodations. Shin Shin Hotel, is all that. A large room, city view, and very clean and updated. I read the reviews and it seems most people were happy with their stay there. It is in a great location, easy access by taxi from the Taipai main station and many, many places to have delicious food nearby and easy access to the mrt. The lady at the reception is very lovely and friendly. I have booked another night there for my last day in Taiwan and am looking forward to going back!

Staff very polite, very thoughtful, very generous

Convenient and modern room even though building may look old
