Northern Europeans will enjoy the sauna (gender specific) on the 20th floor. There is also an excellent fitness center with a view of Taipei 101. The changing rooms and showers are super clean. The roof top pool is indoor so you don't need to worry about the weather. The pool is very shallow though.
The rooms are as exciting as white bread, but they are a good size for Taipei. What really amazes me is how quick the service is. I needed a repair on the toilet and bam, they were right there to fix it.
The breakfast I would consider average. If you want it, be sure to book room to include breakfast or pay NT$700 which is not worth it. I found the selection lacking and sometimes the items are not replenished quick enough. I've had better hotel breakfasts in Taiwan.
The highs: pool, fitness center and service. The lows: unimaginative rooms and breakfast. In summary, a good business hotel, but for a tourist hotel, you can find better in more exciting areas of Taipei.
