A taxi from the airport was 740.00 NT or about $33.00 Canadian and it took 30-40 mins. The staff’s English was not very good but thank you for Google Translate. The staff and I communicated through technology and they were as helpful as they could be, they did try to help me. It is a two star hotel. I found the property run down. The safe’s batteries were dead. When I tried to use the safes in the lobby, every safe that was not locked had dead batteries. The contact points in the battery holders where corroded, leading to poor connections and early battery drain. This is primarily due to the high humidity. Staff sent a brand new working safe to my room. The sheer draped were in shreds. The room did not have any electrical outlets at the bedside, the lamps where hardwired in to the wall. I needed to use my CPAP battery at nights. The hotel has posted signs that they do not provide amenities like tooth brushes, tooth paste, razors, shaving cream or shampoo. Plan accordingly. They provide a buffet breakfast. It is a 12 min walk to the MTR station A9, Linkou, then 3 stops to TPE, Terminal 1 (A12). I spend 0.60 NT or about $0.24 Canadian on the fare and it took about 45-50 mins. Overall the place was clean enough and the bed was comfortable enough and I felt safe in the hotel. I do not think they have a lot of Western guests. Great shopping near the MTR station.
