Caesar Park Hotel Taipei

I have to be honest - the location is perfectly situated outside Taipei Main Station hence we selected this hotel. But to give an honest review - DO NOT STAY at this hotel!!! There is an EXTREMELY moldy, damp, vomit worthy smell going through the entire corridors into our hotel rooms. The moment the lift door opened, I wanted to throw up. We struggled to make it through one night, asked the staff for air purifiers. They were nice to give us some and agreed themselves that there is a terrible stench in this hotel. They opened up all our hotel windows and we slept through the night with blazing winds through the windows. This particular day, they had a 6hr electricity shut down midnight, which meant our fridges and lights all off. I don’t think we should have been charged for this first night, but we didn’t argue as we did still sleep the night. I think the hygiene and quality control of the hotel is completely lacking. There is mold is showers, ceilings. I’ve never been to a hotel in which, other guests also living in nearby rooms.. also have to clench their noses walking up and down corridors and rooms, everyone asking for purifiers.. which doesn’t help. The staff seem completely aware of this situation, as we originally booked for a week stay, but we requested full refund for all remaining days. They didn’t even ask us why we are leaving, and just approved the full refund for all remaining days, I assume it’s because there’s many other new incoming guests queuing behind us .. and they don’t want to make a fuss or for our situation to badly influence others. It’s unfortunate I have to write this, as the staff were genuinely very nice inclusive of the door man. But honestly, for other travellers, the hotel air is not clean and not healthy to breathe. I’ve never had to sleep with a mask inside a hotel before. Great location but I really hope this hotel can improve their air quality, hygiene quality and fix this serious smell problem.
