Old bed old building, not very clean. Nea ximending, convenient location. But will not book this hotel again as not clean. Dusty and dirty, itchy the bed.
Location of the hotel is great, situated in the middle of Ximending, allowing shopping to be very convenient. Not too far away from Ximen Station as well. Facilities are very normal, but unfortunately assigned room does not have window. Hair dryer might require some upgrading. Overall the stay was worth it considering price and location! : )
The price is very affordable and the services provided were excellent. The staff were courteous and friendly; their services were highly professional and truly excellent. I was very satisfied with my two-night stay.
Good overall, well located near the trains and the markets.

The property is located on the 9th and 10th floors of a old building (rest of the floors are long-stay tenants/other businesses). There are 2 elevators but sometimes they are used by the cleaners to transport garage so they stink badly.
Check-in at the counter on the 9th floor, and we had rooms on the 10th. Room was large size and had toiletries, mini fridge, cable TV, decent wifi, bottled water, tea/coffee. Air-conditioning was miserable and non-existent, opening the single window caused mosquitoes to enter. Shower was hot and water pressure good but pipes were super noisy so i didn't have a good rest. Housekeeping did a great job with the lousy hardware though. Beds were terribly soft. Location was decent, about 350m from Ximending MRT.
Despite of reading some bad reviews,I still book at Star Ximen hotel because some of the reviews says it's in the mid of the city,All I can say that our stay is very satisfying,they clean the room everyday,we we're able to sleep comfortably and the place is just 8 mins walk from ximen mrt station which is very convenient for us to travel by metro.

Place wasn't the easiest to find. Building looked very old. But most staff were friendly. Room had poor sound proofing. We also had a bit of toilet bowl clogging problems. Bed and carpet floors were dusty.
Cockroaches everywhere, broken windows, bathroom completely visible from outside, walls too thin and noises from all directions, unable to sleep, urine smells everywhere. Wouldn't recommend even if it is free.

Many mosquitoes inside the lifts when we are up & down to this building, facilities are old enough to re-renovate, these 2 areas need to improve. Location is good, below many convenient shops, foods stall surrounding, subway Ximen station not far away.

Fair
The place is conveniently located at ximen ting, great house keeping daily for the price. We got a free upgrade to family room and the room was spacious. However, walls are very very thin,can hear the conversation/showering next door clearly in the middle of the night. The lifts were faulty on the last day of stay that led to us walking down 3 stories before being able to take the lift.
