Positive:
Location in an older part of town. Convenient to walk to different areas. (20-30mins)
We came for such experience. Staff were polite to help us store our luggages or provide parking info.
Negative:
Central air conditioning was noisy and probably not cleaned, as we both got sore throat after first night. Bathroom had mold and our room windows faced the afternoon Sun and the room heated up despite drawing the curtains. There is also no restaurant for breakfast but not a downside for us.
Summary: Experience local life of Tainan

Positive:
The location is perfect, very close to the main attractions and nightlife (restaurants and bars open late). It is 10min' away by bus from Tainan train station.
The staff was friendly and helpful.
The room was spacious and clean, although the bed may be too small (I am not that tall but my feet were out of the bed).
The reception area is nicely decorated and feels welcoming.
Summary: Nice stay in a lively area
