Friendly staff and solid basics, but expect dated rooms and a walk to the MRT.
The Metro is a simple, older 3-star business hotel: a good pick if you want a practical Taipei base rather than stylish surroundings. Expedia and Trip.com guests repeatedly praise helpful staff and generally clean rooms, with overall ratings pointing to a dependable, not exceptional, stay. We'd shortlist it for travelers who put service and value ahead of design.
The trade-offs are aging interiors and less immediate MRT access. Recent guests mention worn carpets or fixtures needing attention; breakfast gets both praise and requests for more variety. Check the room description carefully, since some doubles have no windows. We'd skip it if fresh finishes, daylight or a station right outside are priorities.

Best for: budget-conscious city explorers; short business stays; travelers comfortable with older interiors
Watch out for: dated carpets and fixtures; some windowless doubles; a walk rather than doorstep MRT access
Location: Near Xingtian Temple; Expedia lists roughly nine minutes on foot to its MRT station.
Rooms: Simple, older interiors; room size varies, and some standard doubles lack windows.
Cleanliness: Generally positive across Expedia and Trip.com, though worn furnishings draw occasional complaints.
Service: Friendly, helpful reception and housekeeping are recurring strengths in guest reviews.
Amenities: Free Wi-Fi and breakfast available; the official site describes Chinese and Western breakfast options.
Fees and surprises: Confirm breakfast and parking inclusion; bring disposable personal toiletries, which the tourism registry says are not supplied.
