Hotel BCHIC

Unfortunately this hotel is right next to two stacked roads. The front of hotel is noisy during day until 9 pm I estimate (see picture). I asked for room on the other side of hotel (away from roads) which was granted, but I was given only remaining room on first floor which was only 15 feet from lobby and check in counter! This was not going to work as I have zoom meetings with USA several times in day and can't risk loud lobby guests or check-ins to be overheard during zoom calls. I asked manager for cancellation and they agreed but I need pay one day penalty. I applied for cancellation on Trip.com and yet hotel refused cancellation!! I called hotel front desk next morning and they told me in long winded repetitive sentences that I had to call Trip to ensure they get their money! I was really frustrated with this inefficiency and change of agreement and attitude. I got Trip involved and had frustrating exchange with front counter upon leaving. In all the room is clean and fine the geographical location is convenient, the Wi-Fi is slow at 16 Mbps if I recall and I sense that much is "over promise and under deliver". Just my view. Hope it helps others.

I am surprised by the facilities in my room, although I did not have enough time to use (also because of the very cold weather). The price is value for money. MRT stations and Taipei Underground mall is within walking distance.

I stayed for 4 nights in calm. Room incruding water washing bathroom is very clean! Nice cost performance.
