LOCATION:The Capital Hotel Songshan is a good choice for those being in Taipei for self-organised sightseeing. It's located directly at "Songshan" MRT-station, you just have to cross the street. Consequently you can get around the city very easily. Additional the Songshan train station is only about 500 m (5 min walking distance) away from hotel, that's perfect if you want to go e. g. to Taroko gorge (--> Hualien station) by train.Additionally you find very close to hotel great food at "Raohe Street Nightmarket" (approx. 200 m), 7-eleven supermarket (approx. 50 m) and postal office (approx. 50 m).HOTEL ROOM:The hotel rooms are rather small, but well-equipped with flatscreen TV, refridgerator, high-tech toilet, air-conditioning, etc. Additionally you get free water and free slippers.Cleanliness of bed linen, towels and surfaces was very good, cleanliness of floor could be improved (many hairs of former guests) but still okay.BREAKFAST:Great choice of Chinese (dumplings, fried noodles, fried vegetables, ...) and Continental (toast, rolls, marmelade, croissants, cornflakes, ...) food.STAFF:Staff in all areas (receiption, room service, breakfast) was very friendly, always willing to help and had good english language skillsVALUE FOR MONEY:A bit expensive, but I stayed around new years eve, so maybe it was so expensive due to high season.RECOMMENDATION:Definitely yes, would stay again! :)
