Yusense Hotel

Hotel is quite retro in terms of design but very comfortable! Beautiful neighbourhood and a short walk away from the national palace museum and 5 mins by bus to shilin mrt. Staff is very friendly and breakfast is extremely good too! The complimentary laundromat and minibar is very convenient too.

good overall, large room, old carpet, old furniture, next to the mountain

Rooms are clean, newly furnished, and super spacious for what you can get around Taipei. The staff is super friendly and the breakfast is tasty and fresh. Overall I’d highly recommend if you don’t mind being a bit tucked away outside the city.

Great extra unusual facilities made available at the hotel, laundry. Great for family and long stay.

Avoid if you can.. for the price you pay . Location- Not great Its not a 4 star! Amenities not great No proper service No pool - Don't get confused by the pics

We stayed for 5 nights, a quiet hotel as what other comments mentioned, a nice hotel without many people, as it only got around 40 guest rooms. It has no nearby shops, other than an Italian restaurant (boulevard Café – quite a good restaurant) and a convenient store. We travelled all by taxi, around US12 each trip to and from city centre. To airport, dependent on which route the driver chose, we paid US48 to hotel, and US35. It was not too difficult to wait for taxi, the most was around 10 min. Wifi is fast but stopped for 10-15 min in 2-3 nights during our stay. Our room is not as big as 33 sq m as stated in the website, I think this is around 23 sq m, with 2 beds, a bath room and wardrobe, and a table, a table for the fridge and a cabinet. So there is no sofa in the room, one of us had to sit on the bed. The bath room is spacious with a bath tub. The design is a bit interesting, water easily splashed out making the whole floor wet even they got curtain. Breakfast was delicious and one has to order from the set menu, with quite a no of choices, Chinese and western style. The environment of the restaurant is good, the window is from floor to ceiling on one side of the restaurant, overlooking the road with green mountains in the far end, trees and moving cars outside of the restaurant. Staff was sufficient to take care of my request. There are also free self-serviced laundry, daily supply of fruits and 2 can of cold drinks / 2 bottled water. One can do hiking to nearby parks, but we failed to walk there, and ended up stopped in a restaurant that served chi food but with ponds that allow you to fish the Thai shrimps and baked / consume on the spot. This is a nice hotel and it gives you a different feeling that commercial hotel cannot provide to you.
