Lodging in Taipei is super expensive, the property was decent but very basic. Overall values is poor but staffs were great and the philosophy of the property, preserving history and effort to post about original architectural detail was great.

Convenient and Attentive
The room is clean, spacious, and has high ceilings, which makes it feel really open. The location is perfect, too. A nice touch is the breakfast voucher, which you can use at nearby spots and the café next door. The service is friendly and attentive, and a big shoutout to PJ for being especially caring.

Meander 1948 is a few blocks from the Taipei main station, near a big night market. Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend.

Overall it's been a pleasant stay in this property however, you cannot expect it's the same as a traditional hotel even you've booked for a private room instead of the hostel sharing rooms. For example, there are no kettle nor mugs nor any cutleries in your room, you have to get them from the pantry in the common area. Apart from these, it's a lovely property with friendly staff and clean spaces/ facilities.

Pros:
Great Location! Next to Taipei Main Train Station and Airline Metro. A lot of nearby shopping and dinning options. Facilities just looked like the pictures provided in Expedia.
Cons:
The sink in our room is way too small. Also, there is no counter space for toiletries. I would recommend the hotel can buy some bathroom stand alone shelving units from IKEA that won’t occupy too much bathroom space and providing some spaces for toiletries. Bed room size was decent but can be improved by putting some wall units for storage.
