Yes, you can take a "inside room" in the Grand Hotel. BTW, it should be called as "Budget Room".

Also there are many nice hotels nearby CTOYAC and they can be easily reached from Jian-Tan station by using the Metro Rapid Transportation of Taipei.

Good news, considering that all is paid by sponsorship (Halls and rooms, accomodations, catering) I think that these strong opportunities could offer to the wikipedians the incentive to make a long journey in a pleasant town.

In any case I don't understand if only 450 beds are paid for sponsorship or if the sponsors will pay all 889 beds (http://meta. wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2007/Taipei#Accommodation) because a room in a Grand Hotel is expensive.

I saw the hotel room quotes for the Grand Hotel. I stayed there in 1981 after being advised to ask for an "inside room"; the price for that was quite reasonable compared to the regular price. Are any of the given quotes for an inside room?
