MGH Mitsui Garden Hotel Taipei Zhongxiao
Room and hotel in general is very clean. We loved the public bath on the 17th floor. Location is excellent - right next to a subway stop (direct line to Taipei main station). We were glad we did not opt for breakfast - there were lots of great options that were walking distance. Highly recommend ...
