Day 4: TW1 Hotel - Taipei, Taiwan

On the 4th day of my Taiwan trip, I took the high speed rail from Taichung to Taipei.  In less than an hour's time, I was already in Taipei!  So convenient!  I booked a boutique hotel in the heart of Ximending, which is just 1 station from Taipei Main Station (the station where the highspeed rail is at).  Super convenient for me to reach to~  The little hotel is about 1 minute walk from Ximen Station exit 6.  Apparently, there's a different theme for each room.  The room I stayed at has a butterfly theme!  The hotel is new.  I think it open around October 2015.  So, the inside is still very new and clean.

Butterflies everywhere~

There's even a bath tub.  But I never use bath tubs in hotel.  I am paranoid of the cleanliness of bathrooms in hotel.  What if the people who used it before has some sort of contagious skin disease?  No matter how I think about it, I still just can't let myself soak in a public bath tub, unless it's a chlorine filled swimming pool...which is like a giant bath tub.

This is the hall way in the hotel.

Another hallway.  

The lounging/waiting area at the lobby.  They have coffee and a computer there for people t use.

This is the lobby/reception area.  This hotel is on the 10th floor of a very old run down building.  It's surprising how this place exist inside that dark dirty looking building.

To get up to the hotel, we took these elevators that looked more like they were for industrial use.  It's dark, dirty, smelly.

Entrance to the building.....totally doesn't match the hotel....
