CHECK inn Express properties in Taipei

Great location with walkable distance to the underground station (5min walk). The Taipei 101 and world trade centre is close by. The room is clean and tidy, no smell or mould. The room is generally good for sound proofing. Good water pressure and hot shower. The only complaint is that the pillows are very soft and flat. Only because of this we would not consider booking in again.

I thought a comfortable mattress is basic requirement. First thing, their mattresses are 2 single mattress to joint together become a “king size” bed. Second thing, the quality of mattress are terrible, no matter which single mattress to sleep on or even change to different room, still wonky mattress. I have to said how long they have not changed the mattress. I have told about the mattress quality to the reception, I got their response to say, their mattress brand is Simmons. I said to the lady, mate the problem is not the brand, the problem is the mattress is old need to be replaced. Changing the room was not resolved the issue.

I came to this hotel just end of Sep as my flight to HK was cancelled due to HK airport closure for the typhoon. The room was much bigger than this time and with a better layout, also it was only 60% of the cost of this time. This time the room is so small that it's difficult to find a space to open up the luggage. I was there to see concerts so I was only back for shower and sleep, didn't spend much time in the hotel. Location-wise it's convenient as it's near the Taipei Main Station so I could just take the 24hrs shuttle bus to the airport for my after midnight flight.

First off, the location is great. It's close to the Taoyuan Airport MRT Taipei Station, and there are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Ningxia Night Market, Dihua Street, Taipei Main Station, and Zhongshan Station are all within walking distance. It's the perfect base for exploring. While it's an automated check-in, the staff are very helpful and guide you through the process. The room itself is clean and comfortable. The only minor issue was that the air conditioning/heating seemed a bit weak, making it hard to regulate the temperature.

This hotel is just a few minutes from Songjiang Nanjing Station, and you can walk under the building's eaves, which is super convenient if it rains. There are also many Japanese shops nearby, like Sukiya, CoCo Ichibanya, and Komeda Coffee, making it a great choice even for those who aren't seasoned travelers. While it's primarily smart check-in, the front desk staff speaks some Japanese and are very helpful. My room this time was a connecting room, and unfortunately, I could clearly hear coughing from the next room, which was unpleasant. It's a shame, because the TOTO Washlet in the toilet and the large bathtub were very comfortable. There's also a safe in the room.

Good location, helpful staff. The room is good, but it gives a vibe like: the idea is good but the execution is amateur. One of the rooms was more luxurious than the others. It was with a nice separate bath, instead of shower and bath in one. Everything (wifi, airconditioning, ect.) worked. Its good enough to sleep and have fun in taipei.
