'''From the airport''': From Taoyuan airport take either the 1819 bus to Taipei Main Station or take Taiwan High Speed Rail (via a bus transfer to Taoyuan station) to Taipei Main Station. At Taipei Main Station, transfer to the '''Xinyi (red) Line''' in the '''Xiangshan''' direction. Alight at '''Dongmen''' station. Alternatively take a taxi from the airport. Because this is a smaller, less well known hotel, do not expect the driver to understand the English name of the hotel. | '''From the airport''': From Taoyuan airport take either the 1819 bus to Taipei Main Station or take Taiwan High Speed Rail (via a bus transfer to Taoyuan station) to Taipei Main Station.

'''Laundry''': There is also a [http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2536456936#map=18/25.03821/121.52677 24-hour laundry] walking distance from the hotel (it's on Hangzhou Rd S, which is one major street west along Ren'ai Road, and also on the opposite side of Ren'ai).

The hotel reception desk might hand you a flyer with a map and picture if you ask where to find a laudromat, although they seem to have started pointing people elsewhere (to a place that's closed). Washers cost NT$60/NT$80/NT$150 by size (2/2/1 of each), detergent or other supplies cost NT$10 each, dryers cost NT$10 per 5 minutes. The washers take NT$50 and NT$10 coins, everything else takes NT$10 coins, and there's a change machine that turns NT$100 bills (only) into 10 NT$10 coins. So you need either sufficient coins (many of which must be NT$10, but some can be NT$50) or sufficient NT$100 bills. | ||
'''Nearby restaurants''': While there are just a few restaurants very near the hotel, there's a large cluster of restaurants on the other side of Dongmen (東門) station, in particular, along Yongkang Street (永康街), which leads south from the east end of the station (exit 5). This includes a Din Tai Fung location right on the south side of Xinyi Road just east of Yongkang Street. These restaurants tend not to stay open as late in the evening as the restaurants near the office and Taipei 101, though. See also Shao Shao Ke below, just north of the hotel. | '''Nearby restaurants''': While there are just a few restaurants very near the hotel, there's a large cluster of restaurants on the other side of Dongmen (東門) station, in particular, along Yongkang Street (永康街), which leads south from the east end of the station (exit 5).
