Taipei Hotel

I forgot to share with you guys about the hotel we stayed in Taipei, See You Hotel. I thought it was a really simple and newly renovated hotel with affordable rates. Plus it was in such a central location: walking distance from Ximenting Night Market, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, 881 Peace Park and opposite the Taipei Main Train Station.

In addition, you will never go hungry because the hotel streets are filled with food stalls, shopping malls and convenience stalls. Breakfast was provided in a cafe across the hotel every morning (see picture of Ning enjoying her toast).

And next to the cafe is a famous beef noodle stall where they won the second prize for Taiwan's National Beef Noodle Competition (see picture, taken with the owner cum chef). If you asked who won the first prize. It is the stall opposite this stall. Too bad, we didn't get the chance to taste the first prize noodles because everytime we wanted to, its either not opened or closed.

Because we're travelling with Ning and we were travelling in and out of Taipei a few times, this location at the train station was ideal, with easy access to Taipei's MRT and train out of the city.

Here are some pictures I took of our room, which I thought it was really nice and the shower facilities was fantastic. Ning always say the bed is a "princess bed". So WF ended up sleeping on the extra single bed by the side while Ning and I enjoyed our sleep, princess-style.
