ChingJing Inn

Reception helped us with our bags up the stairs (note that there is no lift). The door uses a passcode, and there is no actual receptionist there. This is a simple place to stay, perfect for travellers who will not be staying in the hotel for the whole day or looking to use the hotel’s facilities. However, the receptionist is easy to reach via the phone in yo This is simply a place to crash. It’s comfortable and clean, there is daily housekeeping. Extra towels can be requested. Xing Tian Gong MRT Station is only a 5 minutes walk away, with a few local eateries along the way. Overall, me and my sister are very happy with our stay.

If you're on a tight budget and want to stay in a decent "hotel-type" room, this is the place for you. But remember that this is NOT a hotel so don't expect a lobby with concierge, lounge area, reception desk, etc. You get a basic ensuite room, that's it. Correspondence thru emails were smooth. But do not expect anything extra from what you paid for e.g. extra pillows, late check-out, any info re the city, etc. which was a bit of a disappointment. You are basically on your own so first time travelers in Taipei, do your research! Sleep comfort - slept like a baby Location - 5 minute walk to the nearest MRT station (Xingtian Temple/Orange Line) Proximity - lots of convenience stores, restos, coffee shops nearby. There is also a grocery store a block away en route to the MRT station. I was informed there was none btw. Value for money - worth every cent Room tip: if you have physical limitations or injuries and you are on the upper floors, be warned that there is no elevator and stairs are quite tight and steep. This experience was a good lesson for me as I am an avid AirBnB user. Altho this was not a bad experience, I will most probably go back to using AirBnB in my next trips.

I stayed 3 nights for my private travel. My impressions are the following; <Good> - Necessary and sufficient clean room to stay - 2 bottles of water for free per night - Air conditioner and dehumidifier - Close to the convenience store and MRT station (行天宮) - Free Wi-Fi connection (but not enough secure) <NOTICE> - At first, it is difficult to find the entrance of this hotel - If you stay at 1st floor, you might bother your sleep because people go and come through the entrance in front of your room (literally right in front at 1st floor). - No fridge - No safety box - No dedicated toilet tissue - Tissue has fusty
