  We could not sleep because all the noise of hookers

  We thought it was okay to have a hotel a bit more cheaper, out of the city center. And a metro station nearby, to travel around easy. The room and the bathroom wasnt that great as it looked on the photos. What really disturbed me the most that after 10 pm it was busy with hookers down the hallway and in the room next to us. And yes, it was easy to hear it where hookers, because I had a jetlag and I could here the details between 11 pm and 3 am. So definitely not going back here.

  Five star service, would do it again

  My husband and I needed a place to stay while he studies Mandarin in Taipei for a month or so, because we don't want to stay with family and friends and interrupt their routine. After much research, we decided to give Sparkle Taipei Bridge a shot, and we're glad we did. We stayed for three weeks, and experienced four different rooms. Let me share some pros and cons as well as advice. Pros: Excellent service. The staff are courteous and professional. They are efficient and will do everything within their power to make sure your stay is comfortable. Since we stayed for a while, we did encounter some challenges (one of the toilets blocked up, noisy neighbor one night, some other tenants nearby smoking even though it's illegal...) but each time the staff took care of those issues immediately. They check in on us whenever they saw us. Daily housekeeping is thorough and the rooms are super clean! One of the most important requirements for me is cleanliness and this place is extremely clean. Other than two mosquitoes, I did not encounter any little animals in our room, and that's a huge deal for me. AC is super cold in the heat of July! Huge showers if you get a room bigger than the cheapest window less room. Water pressure is awesome with good temperature. They have the really cool oversized shower head with multiple jets as well as a separate hand held sprayer. Wifi has good speed! Location is good. It's about six minutes from the neares MRT subway station with the majority of the walk covered from rain and sun. A movie theater is two minutes walk away, as well as a real super market. Plenty of street food around so you should never starve. A coin laundromat is across the street and the machines are great! In the evening and late nights there are security guards downstairs. Two free bottles of water a day, and the room has a hot water kettle. The common areas also has a hot and cold water dispenser. Cons: The area of town is not very fancy, so expect a little culture shock. You might see some more poor people in this area than downtown. Even though the rooms are clean, there's room for improvement. Such as there could be better humidity control so that the walls and ceilings have fewer moldy spots (but it's Taiwan... hard to avoid moisture unless you pay for a five star hotel). Don't get the cheapest room if you want any natural light because the window in the room leads to a dark shaft between the buildings and should not be opened. Showering will likely get the whole bathroom floor wet but that's common in Taiwan as well since a separate shower is a western concept. The bedding are soft and comfy but I could feel the springs in the mattresses. If you get a big bed, you will feel a hard ridge down the middle (cuddling with my husband was not comfortable). Advice? Get a room farther away from the lobby if you like a quieter room and don't like cigarette smoke.  Conclusion: five star service, four star location, and three star hardware. We're glad we stayed here. It's very good value for your money.
