Location is great! Lots of places to eat & shop within couple mins of walking! Staff was friendly & helpful - making our stay very pleasant!
Aircon control was cenrralized. We found the room a little stuffy especially after walking around neighbourhood. Luckily, we had a balcony attached to our rooms. Good for airing the rooms even in winter!

Quiet and comfortable hotel in the center of a fun neighborhood with a wonderful staff.
The front desk concierge was so kind, friendly, and personable which made us feel really welcome. She also gave us great recommendations in the area. My room was spacious, very clean, and comfy - perfect for the last day of a long trip around Taiwan. The breakfast had tons of options, and the food was very fresh. It felt like the staff went above and beyond.

Comfy clean rooms for a reasonable price
Good comfy bed and quality shower, room was very clean and modern. Hotel is close to the MRT too, very convenient.
Bathtub is very high, which makes it easy to slip when getting out.

A 5 star staff and extremely clean hotel!
The staff were an embodiment of Taiwanese kindness. We stayed there during the last few days of our stay in Taiwan and we couldn't have been more happier to have chosen this hotel with this particular staff.. They went way and beyond to help us and make our stay interesting, comfortable and cosy! Thank you Kim, and thank you to the night staff who helped us with our laundry! Apart from the amazing staff, the hotel is well located, close to shopping, food and metro etc. We would gladly stay here again! We take back some beautiful memories of Taiwan and Taiwanese people and everyone there were a part of it! 🙏🏼❤️
Nothing! Everything was great.

A stay that you will never regret
The staff at Dandy was amazing. They are super friendly and very welcoming to my family. They are really knowledgeable whenever we asked them on places of attractions, things to buy/shop. Really enjoyed my stay at Dandy. The breakfast spread was good, with free afternoon tea and supper. Not forgetting snacks too. Location was just 5mins away from Zhongshan Mrt. Around the hotel vicinity were filled with shops, convenience stalls and super markets. Its all walking distance!

Excellent location with a clean, bright and nice room
Place is very clean, bright and nice. Breakfast spread was good. Most of all, staff service was exemplary. Special kudos to Kim who went the extra mile to prepare notes for me on where to go and eat in Hualien/Taroko
There isn't any wardrobe. Open hanger

The ultimate small hotel experience.
Delightful, caring, helpful staff who go out of their way to make you comfortable. Super clean and well maintained rooms and facilities. Free laundry machines and afternoon drinks and snacks for all guests. Excellent central location with easy access to transportation, shopping, restaurants and entertainment.
Nothing really. Breakfast was quite good but a wider variety of Western options (for instance pancakes, french toast, bacon, oatmeal, pastries, donuts, made to order eggs and omelets) would broaden its appeal.

A quality little hotel in a very vibrant and convenient location with good breakfast
Very good location in a vibrant area. Breakfast is so so nice, yum and healthy. Lots of salads, fruits and vegetables selection. Eat even healthier at home.

Fabulous
Attention has been given to detail in the design of this hotel. It's small and tight but high quality! The staff are helpful and kind.
There is no parking here. The nearest is a public parking a few blocks away.
