Yusense Hotel

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

The Location is near to National Palace Museum and hiking trails. Although not close to MRT stations, the bus stop is right outside of the hotel and the buses arrives frequently to take us to the city. Service is friendly and professional. The breakfast is freshly prepared and the portion is just nice. We love the well-designed and well-kept laundry room, which has washers and dryers free for guests' use.

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

An amazing hotel near the mountains, right next to palace museum so I enjoyed lots of days walking around with no one else there. The vibe is very well done and calming, it’s a natural wooden feel with suits the mountain scenery. The staff were amazing and always doing their best to check in with me. Of course it’s a bit far from the centre but there’s many bus routes you can take and Shilin station is only a few minutes. Genuinely such a nice place to stay and really calmed me during my travel.

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.

So great services and hospitality. Amazing breakfast
