"A small and cosy hotel" Ta Shun Hotel Tip by chatterley

Ta Shun Hotel is located a mere 2-minutes walk away from the Ximen station and the bustling Ximending district. This hotel is very popular with Singaporean travellers, during my stay, the occupants were almost 80% Singaporeans.

The hotel is not a huge establishment, and the rooms are not huge. However, the rooms are very clean (the hotel was re-renovated last year), and the service is personalized and friendly. We asked the front desk staff for suggestions on where to find good food in the vicinity, and their recommendations never disappoint us.

Prior to our trip, we had already booked the room via the hotel's online booking system. We were lucky to have secured the booking early, as the number of rooms are limited, and the hotel is very popular.

Unique Qualities: The location is unbeatable! It is near enough for us to walk to Ximending, yet it also offers some peace and quiet as it is NOT situated on the busy streets.

The price is also a huge draw - we paid NT1680 per night for a double-sharing room (inclusive of breakfast). Breakfast provided is Taiwanese-style porridge (congee) with some side dishes. If you don't fancy eating the same stuff everyday, you can buy other types of food from the nearby eateries at Ximending. At NT1680, the room also comes with LCD TV (with cable and satellite channels - over 100+ channels), hairdryer, bathroom with jacuzzi, etc.

Although the rooms are small, the location, personal service and amenities provide good value-for-money.
