"We absolutely loved this hotel. The staff was totally amazing especially Spud. The breakfast was fresh and made to order. The service at the restaurant was exceptional. We ate lunch at the restaurant several times it was delicious. Wish we could have stayed longer then 2 nights."

"The thing that stands out the most about Proverbs is its uniqueness. This is not your cookie cutter hotel. The hotel is an industrial style building in a vibrant neighbourhood. The hotel is just steps from shops, restaurants, and the metro. The halls of the Proverb are a bit dark. And it is a bit odd to open the door to your room and walk straight into the bathroom. But the rooms themselves are quite large and comfortable. You do not hear the street noise. Supposedly construction was going on in the building next door while we were there but we did not hear it. We found the bed to be a bit hard for our tastes. Breakfast is ordered from a set menu. The food was very good .We especially enjoyed their unique take on a croque monsieur. At certain times the wait staff was overrun The bar area is not to be missed. Not only was the bar a cozy place to unwind after a day of sightseeing, but the signature cocktails were an absolute delight. The cocktails were innovative in presentation and taste. They really were the highlights of our stay."

"A word of CAUTION! ⚠️ I tried to book room for family of four via Proverb’s online booking site, what happened next was text book example of how to not treat customers: 1. As I received no confirmation (site was not loading) I assumed booking did not go through. Note that I also checked junk mail. 2. I emailed Proverb and sought to book, and they responded: “Please kindly note that each of our rooms can accommodate a maximum of two guests. If you are planning to stay with four guests, we would recommend reserving two separate rooms.” 3. I declined as I did not want to book room, and booked another hotel. 4. A few days ahead of our trip I received a “welcome email” indicating that I had a reservation. I immediately responded to say that I had not booked. 5. Upon which Proverb claimed that a) I had a booking through their site b) they had never indicated we could not stay four people in one room c) they would charge me for not showing up. As I was unable to rebook (we really wanted to stay at Proverbs) I ended up with two bills and an ongoing dialogue with Thai tourist authorities. I love Taiwan, but this is no way to treat customers."

"Location is phenomenal. On a quiet side street close in a nice neighborhood close to MRT station. 3 good nights at this small and quaint boutique hotel in DaAn. Rooms were clean, nice and big with good noise insulation. Even had a small balcony. Strange arrangement as you walk directly into the bathroom. Front desk super friendly and helpful. Breakfast very good, but is a set menu so you may want more variation when staying more nights. Hotel and restaurant was very cold so bring a fleece for indoor use. I would recommend to increase the temp a bit. We would likely come again."

"Taiwan is a destination built on convenience and practicality - qualities that savvy travelers come here expecting to find reflected in their accommodations too. Unfortunately, this hotel delivers on neither front, and at US$400 per night, that’s a hard pill to swallow. Let’s start with the basics. The breakfast is underwhelming for a property at this price point - uninspired and forgettable. The rooms are awkwardly designed, with see-through bathroom walls that sacrifice privacy for a questionable aesthetic choice, and a layout that wastes usable space in ways that will frustrate anyone spending more than a night. The brass and copper decor throughout feels dated and oddly heavy-handed, more confusion than character. For a hotel charging premium rates, the absence of a gym is simply unacceptable. Business and leisure travelers alike expect fitness facilities at this tier - its omission is a glaring gap. The lobby compounds the disappointment: cramped and uninviting, it sets the wrong tone from the moment you arrive. Staff interactions didn’t help either - unhelpful would be the polite word for it. The one genuine bright spot is location, which is genuinely convenient for getting around the city. If you’re planning a trip to Taiwan and weighing your options, I’d strongly recommend putting your accommodation budget elsewhere. There are hotels in this city that actually deliver the comfort, thoughtfulness, and service that $400 a night should guarantee - this isn’t one of them​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"
