Hotel Papa Whale

The service was pretty standard. Half hearted average service. Breakfast was horrible though. Better option to not just get breakfast and go elsewhere. They could have made the price cheaper and not have breakfast. Lol...

The service agent (man)is not helpful, as i checked in very late, around 11:30pm, that’s why i would like to request a later check out at 1pm, but the front office agent insists. The check out time is 11 AM. Also, I booked a standard room but they gave me a very small one. When I went to another room to see, the room was bigger but my room is smaller and the wallpaper is actually very horrible and will make the children very afraid of it.

Hassle free self check in and check out. Great breakfast, just that for the 2 nights I stayed, the same spread of food was served, with no changes. Location great and hotel design is of retro theme.

Really have a pleasant stay in Papa Whale 👍🏻👍🏻 The hotel is kinda near to the Xi Men Road and can be reached by walking distance. Highly recommended! Will definitely come back again when I’m in Taipei.

Location of the hotel is very good as it is within walking location to xi men ding

Very stylish rooms. Great breakfast. Aesthetic hotel interiors.

Plus: - Location, location, location - Price Minus: - Cleanliness (lots of MOLD in bathroom, musty smell) - major bummer and had I read the reviews prior I would not have booked Early into check-in I noticed the dirty room situation and tried to switch rooms and offered to pay the upgrade fee but they were unable to accommodate, despite the fact that it was the end of a weekend and the hotel was not busy. Do not recommend.

Location 700m from metro breakfast is good Near to Ximending

I recently had a stay at this hotel, and overall, it was a positive experience. The service provided was commendable, and the staff were consistently polite, which made for a pleasant atmosphere. However, there were a couple of aspects that could be improved. The hotel's policy on early check-in and late check-out could be more flexible. This would greatly benefit guests who have specific timing requirements for their stay. One major drawback was the faulty air conditioning in our room. Unfortunately, the hotel was fully booked, and they couldn't provide a similar room as a backup. This was disappointing, as it demonstrated a lack of proactive management on the hotel's part.In addition, when we reported the faulty air conditioning, the hotel management promptly arranged for a contractor to service it. However, it was scheduled for the very next day, which meant an uncomfortable night in our room. It would be beneficial if they could expedite such essential maintenance to minimize guest inconvenience. On the bright side, the hotel's location was fantastic, offering easy access to popular attractions and convenient transportation options. Despite the air conditioning issue, I would consider staying here again in the future, hoping for better flexibility on check-in/check-out times and improvements in room management.
