Truly unique place to stay, in Taipei & in general
The Readers’ House makes up part of a restored compound, close to a historically important trading port. The area is vibrant during the day and early evening, while being quiet in the later evening and early morning - ideal for noise during typical sleeping hours. Other tenants of the compound include a cafe, bar/restaurant, a little museum, shops, and reading space. There are 2 “courtyards,” in which an elevator helps to make the space accessible for those with mobility challenges. Range of activities nearby, along with wharf and transit. I found that we most benefitted from doing some research/exploring of the area on our own, and think others will too - but TRH team might consider how differently to prime guests about the significance and distinguishing features of the property. While some visitors may not care (initially), I think it could help folks to understand why the layout is the way it is. Our first night/day was a bit confusing, since getting in and out of the building and to our unit was not the most straight forward. I also saw other guests confused too. For my group at least, once I explained the building’s past, it made more sense about how the entry/exit works. Moreover, it eased some of my companions’ impatience at what initially seemed “annoying.” Perhaps additional print info for those with varied language/learning abilities. Just a suggestion, to further convey what to expect, enjoy, embrace at The Readers’ House and Dadaocheng - more should visit!

よかった点 ・建物が美しい、部屋が広い ・家具も上品なうえに使いやすかった。ヨーロッパのレンタルアパートメントみたいにむやみやたらとクッションが置かれていないのがいい ・バスタブがある。しかも大きい ・中庭。緑がたっぷりで小鳥もたくさんいて、屋内なのに自然に近い感じがして癒される ・立地。迪化街のどまんなか、地元のひとの暮らしに触れられる。気さくなＢ窮グルメの店もいっぱい ・サービスのお茶がとてもおいしい。近所の店で売っているときいておみやげに買って帰った よくなかった点 ・無線LANの接続が悪い ・キッチン。熱源は電子レンジすらなく、食器や調理器具もない。市場でフルーツを買ったり、持ち帰った肉まんやちまきを温めたり、といったことはまったくできなかった ・連泊するにはトイレットペーパー、シャンプー等の消耗品が少ない。けっきょく自分で購入した ・駅からちょっと遠い。でも許容範囲

迪化街周辺で宿を探しており、緑豊かな宿で気持ちよく過ごせました。 大きな道路から離れているので、大きな音も少なく、リラックスできました。

三年前に引き続き2回目の滞在(今回は4日間)でした。レトロな建物がステキで部屋もリビング、屋根裏、ミニキッチンなどもあり住むように滞在できます。常在のスタッフがいてないのでタオル替えや掃除などは滞在中いちどもなくこちらから頼んだらタオルなどは持ってきてもらえるシステム。堅苦しくなく自由に過ごしたい人には最適だと思います。

4/10 Fair

迪化街の中にあるゲストハウス 古民家リノベで雰囲気もあります 【よかった点】 中庭が素敵 アメニティのセンスが良い 迪化街へのアクセス抜群 【悪かった点】 ・スタッフ不在すぎて、ほぼ放置 ・チェックイン、アウト時も不在 ・入り口が暗すぎる ・何かあったらLINEで連絡してと言われたけど、問い合わせても返事がない。ようやく連絡があったのは、チェックアウトしてから5時間後。ふざけてる。 ・フリーWi-Fiなのにパスワード教えてくれなくて使えない ・テレビがつかない ・キッチンがあるけど流しだけ。コンロ、食器などなし ・ハンガーかけが玄関のみ。アウターならいいけど、他のはかけられない ・水漏れがすごい。晴れてた日なのに、上の階から水が落ちてくる。 ・シャワーの水が黒かった。最悪。 ・歯ブラシ、歯磨き粉、パジャマなどが用意されてない。(ドライヤーはある。) 他にも不備な点があったけど、書ききれない。 コンセプトや雰囲気は素敵だけど、実際に泊まるとなると不便だらけ。 部屋も広すぎるので、半分の広さで半額のがいい。 一泊素泊まりで、2万4千円 それで、これの内容はがっかり
