Open Room

Taipei


One of the best-value places to stay in Tamsui, just up from the MRT on a small hill and next to the morning market. All rooms have big picture windows, are well-sized, clean, modern and nicely furnished. When booking ask for room 1 or 2, as these have sweeping river views and padded window seats. No breakfast.
