SSS Life Hotel

LikedThe room was small, but the ceiling was high so it didn't feel cramped. Small snacks and coffee were available in the public space. A washing machine was also provided.

DislikedNothing in particular.

LikedQuiet. Clean. Close to attractions, restaurants and stations. Futon was comfortable.

DislikedThey refused to lay us change dates, even though they had empty rooms on the requested date. We wanted earlier, not later. Other hotels in Taiwan were much more accommodating. We also ran into a different issue so would arrive after checkin hours. I messaged them to explain but received no response. This caused anxiety as we were unsure if it works be a problem. On arrival, they said they had received our message so I don't understand why they wouldn't take a few seconds to send an ok emoji.

LikedIf you love Japanese style, including futons on the floor, this place is for you. Minimalistic and elegant, the rooms are simple and capsule style. I thought the futon was very comfortable. If you have a lot of luggage, you may have a problem. The location is fabulous. There was a temple festival around the corner that was stunning. The little alley way is charming with local stores and people and a wonderful pottery shop. The staff was very helpful with everything and answered many questions for me. I felt safe and comfortable. They have bikes for you to use also.

DislikedYou have to know how to use QR code stuff to check in and use a code for a key, but for older travelers like me they give you a regular card key and help you check in. The hotel can be a bit hard to find. The taxi had dropped me off not at the exact spot, but I called and staff came to find me. A sign would be helpful.

Likedlocation was good! within walking distance to most of the viewing area & museum.

Dislikedthe blanket & cushion a bit old. it's time to do replace.

LikedLocation is walkable to all major attractions in the Zhongxi District and the Tainan train station. The hotel is tailored for female guests with attractive decor and nice bathroom amenities (dyson hair dryer!). The air conditioning works great, the water pressure was good, and the bed was comfy. The hotel provides a great local guide in English that even includes a list of bars friendly to solo female travelers. SSS is cute and clean, but not upscale; the vibe is more like a stylish hostel than a 'boutique hotel'.

DislikedMy room was 2 floors with a lofted bedroom area that required climbing a flight of narrow stairs. The room was very spacious, but I would not want to go up those stairs after a crazy night out.
