Great place to stay and highly recommended
Excellent location, very central (5 minute walk to the Zhongshan Metro Station), quiet street, extremely friendly and helpful staff many of whom speak good English - thank you to Kim for all her helpful suggestions of where to go and what to see. Lovely breakfast, 24 hour free laundry facilities, comfortable room and bed. Great price and great stay.
There was nothing that we didn't like

Fabulous
I had a great stay at Dandy hotel. Access is very easy as the MRT station is very close by. Location is central, it allows a very quick access to all places / tourist attractions in Taipei. Staff were very friendly, even if the room wasn’t big, it was very clean and comfortable, and also very quiet. The hotel offers many amenities, such as a complimentary washing machine and dryer, which is great if you don’t want to bring too many clothes. Breakfast was good. I would come back for my next stay in Taipei.

Great Budget Hotel
Large room and bed, very quiet, good air-conditioning and very comprehensive buffet breakfast which was delicious. The staff are fantastic and couldn't be more helpful, they kept our luggage for the afternoon, once we had checked out.
There is a smell from a drain as you arrive, but this is all over Taipei and couldn't be detected inside the hotel at all.

Nice stay in Taipei
Very clean and renewed structure with an optimal position in Taipei. The standard room is a bit small but still enough.

A perfect home base for a trip to Taiwan
Well maintained, convenient location , quiet street, room spacious, great shower, very comfortable bed, good breakfast. staff amazing! Snacks available 24/7. Kim at front desk helped us with planning, made great recommendations, and was meticulous about providing great instructions for directions with well marked maps. Good value!!

Very comfortable and convenient!
Kim from the frontdesk was amazing, very lovely, helpful and friendly. She provided us an itinerary for rainy days which was nice. We received a free upgrade to a room with bathtub. The room was 1 hour before check-in time ready. It was located at the end of the corridor and was quiet, no noise from the corridor or neighbors. It was very clean, the bathroom equipped with a Japanese toilet and linnen also. Beds are very comfortable (for European standards), size is about 160 x 200 cm and we loved the black out curtains. AC worked perfectly and quiet. Western and Asian breakfast available which is different every day, not too much choice but just enough. At the breakfast area you can get free snacks and tea/water throughout the day. Perfect location. About few minutes walking from the MTR station. Recommended!
We liked everything!

Very good
Great room size and handy to use the free washer and dryer. Easy access to microwave, toaster, and snacks throughout the day. Wi-Fi was stable and fast, even with an earthquake.
Breakfast was lackluster, but on par with other hotels in the area.

Very good
Staff was excellent. So kind, helpful in many ways. Location also great.
The carpet throughout the hotel was semi-questionable for me. Too big and soft - almost felt dirty, though I could tell they cared very much about cleanliness at the hotel otherwise.

Fabulous stay at Dandy hotel!
Fabulous stay at Dandy hotel! The room was clean and modern, with great lighting (which we loved). Staff were really kind and friendly, and extremely accommodating - they truly made our stay special thanks to their warm generosity. Location is within walking distance to Taipei metro, convenience stores and Ningxia night market.
Would've been a 10 but wasn't a fan of the breakfast selection

Fabulous
The staff at dandy hotel tainjin went over and above to make us feel welcome. We arrived very early and were able to store our luggage. The hotel was super clean, and although the room wasn't anything special, it had a good amount of space. We loved the diverse breakfast options, which included many vegetarian items, and the snacks provided each afternoon (cookies/crackers, juice/tea). Walked to the hotel from Taipei main mtr station, location is close to other metro stations. Would stay again most definitely!
There was some noise from moterbikes on the street at night that woke us up and we could also hear the door slammed close in the room next door.

Although the size of the room did not meet my expectations, the staff's service mindset exceeded them. They decorate
The staff at the hotel are very friendly and helpful, especially Kim, the lady staff member. She is very enthusiastic about booking the restaurant for our first meal in Taipei. We greatly appreciate it. Thanks again, Kim :)
The room is smaller than I expected. Fortunately, it has windows in both the bedroom and the bathroom, so it's not too bad for people like me who have claustrophobia.

A gem of a hotel in the heart of Taipei
Great location, friendly and welcoming. The staff, especially Kim, went out of her way to make us feel welcome - giving us restaurant and itinerary suggestions, helping us book train tickets and more. I'll back again in a few weeks and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hotel to anyone. The location was great - close to places to eat, get a massage, have a drink and the MRT. It was quiet and the breakfast was tasty and varied. Thanks guys and see you soon! Richard.
Nothing! It was great.

I SERIOUSLY CONSIDER TO BOOK FUTURE STAYING WITH THIS HOTEL.
THE WORKERS ARE ALL VERY FRIENDLY,INCLUDING THE FRONT DESK RECEPIENTS AND RESTAURANT SERVERS. WHEN I HAD SPECIAL FAVORS TO ASK, SUCH AS CALLING A TAXI CAB OR LUGGAGE STORAGE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, THEY TRIED TO HELP WITH A SMILE. FREE LAUNDRY USES TOO.
NOT MUCH.
