Best location for foodies, close by major landmarks.
Kenyon, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Whilst I understood the basement rooms would not have windows, I was expecting the lights in those rooms to be better than they turned out being; not that I wanted to stay in the room all holiday but it was very hard to see in the room or use the mirrors to get ready to go out. The breakfast buffet was great. The automated check in and out though made the experiance feel impersonal.
Jake, 9-night trip

6/10 Good

This hotel is very clean, but the room is small and has no windows. It feels oppressive to live in it. The service staff are kind and friendly.
Daniel, 27-night trip

Comfortable stay!
Ramon, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Great hotel for the youths.

I visit Taipei annually. Sometimes up to four times a year. Most of my stays are at Hotel Papa Whale. I noticed some new front desk staff were not well trained lately. The water pressure for shower were a mark different from before when they we not as strong. This weeks visit to Taipei, I checked in twice and checked out twice to visit Taichung. The rooms are consistently well kept to high standards . I will be back soon.

So, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really enjoyed the rustic vibes of the hotel, which made it a cosy stay to rest up from all the activities in the city. It's also a really short walk from all the amazing shopping and food options in the Ximending area, which meant that I was basically spoilt for choice throughout my stay.
