Discovery Motel - Nangang

A classic Asian "no-tell-hotel". Not new, but the room is private, large, clean and comfortable. Wonderful place to nurture your relationship with the one you love. For westerners not used to "no-tell-hotels", familiarize yourself with the unique quirks of check-in, check-out, privacy, etc., so you will have a sense of where you are, and can enjoy yourself when you get there. Within 800 meters of subway, shops, food, riverside walk, etc., in a wonderful suburb of Taipei.

Everything was great. Comfortable, extravagant, smart design, just amazing. Don't listen to the negative reviews. The place is great for staying a few nights with your significant other. Night sleep was extremely dark and quiet, without any disturbances. I have not had such good sleep in many weeks. Air conditiong was well balanced and you could just leave it on "auto" without being disturbed. Breakfast is from 7 to 10am and while not being luxurious, it serves its purpose and has a good coffee machine. Even though the building might be older (and the age does show in the hallways), the relevant utilities (such as ventilation covers, filters, bathroom appliances) were all stainless, new and in perfect working order. The room was clean and well maintained. It's not a family hotel, it's not a business hotel, it's not a backpacker hotel. It serves one purpose, and it does that very well. It does it at a fair price. There was no singing, no other noise. There was no bad smell. Although keep in mind, I told the staff before check-in that I want a non-smoking room. Perhaps some of the "smoking smell" reviews for this hotel are just from the general fragrance some old buildings may emmit when A/C is off. I had a great time and can recommend it. Wi-Fi was also very good for working either in the room or in the breakfast area. Transportation to MRT is convenient by bus and/or You-Bike.

The room is very big/clean/comfortable.

staff is nice, cleaning service is good, and the bath room and bay tub are great

Room space is greater than other hotels. An air purifier is nice for customer.
