Oursinn Hotel

Great find in Taipei. I must admit it is difficult to find but once inside its a wonderfully clean hotel, nice rooms, great staff and amenities and centrally located. I am staying again upon my return to Taipei.

Located in the middle of town, about 10 minutes walk from the main train station there are two Oursinn Hotels, both located on the same street, Linsen Road. This one is about 3 blocks further away from the train station. Odd entrance, located in what appears to be a lower floor of an apartment building, you have to watch for the sign on the street as the entrance is hard to notice. Enter a hallway without any signs for the hotel and go to the 3rd floor and the elevator opens onto the lobby. A very nice hotel, comfortable, clean and with high end beddings although the rooms are tiny. Wifi is fast but apparently dependent on usage as it slowed significantly during busy times. The hotel has 3 fire escapes, very nice to have in a town where the hotels on occasion don't have fire escapes at all. Our room didn't have any windows, because of this we slept really late once as no sunlight reaches the room. Lots of food in the immediate vicinity. Helpful, English speaking staff. Highly recommended.

The staff were really great and welcoming, especially Tommy! The bed was a little hard, but the rooms were very clean and everything was new.

The Central aircon was too cold for me
