In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The number-three pick on our list, Burgary Hotel, is one we'll recommend straight: a budget 3-star for travellers who know exactly what they want. Rooms are plain and functional — they cover the basics a budget room should cover and not much more. They aren't large, so think of this as a place to sleep rather than spread out. If you're on a tight budget but still want a private hotel room instead of a dorm, it's a sensible call.
Food and amenities
Facilities here are basic by design. You get free Wi-Fi, a service counter, luggage storage and non-smoking rooms, plus basic toiletries — the essentials, without the extras a higher-scoring hotel would pile on. There's a convenience store about 60m away, a minute on foot, which covers late-night snacks and anything you forgot to pack.
Location and getting there
This is where Burgary earns its keep. It sits in Ximending, about a 4-minute walk from Ximen MRT station, and it's close to the pedestrian street and the Red House (Ximen Honglou), the district's landmark, around 250m off. Location and transport both score 9.0 in the guest breakdown — use this as a base for Ximending and you can ride the metro right across Taipei, with Taipei Main Station just one stop away.
Things to know before booking
The guest score is a middling 7.9, and you can see why in the breakdown: rooms come in at 7.7 and service at 7.9. The rooms are simple and on the small side, and the facilities are basic. None of that is a surprise at this price — it's just worth knowing the trade you're making before you book.
Our take
Burgary Hotel suits budget travellers who lead with price and location above all. If you plan to use the room only to sleep and keep your money for street food and getting around, it does its job — and we'll recommend it straight, as the light-on-the-wallet option on this list.
