    The room was just nice for two. We chose one with a shared toilet and bathroom, which was fine since they were on the same level. The bed was comfortable, and breakfast was provided with a good variety. Considering the price, it was definitely worth it. The hostel was also conveniently located near both Taipei Main Station and Songshan Station, making it easy to get around the city.

    • Superior Double Room with Private Bathroom & Balcony
    • Stayed 1 night

    I stayed in a double room with a shared toilet last time, and this time I tried a deluxe double room a private bathroom, also with an attached balcony and back courtyard. To be honest, I didn’t use either—perhaps because it’s summer, hot and humid, and there are bugs outdoors. This room was more isolated from the facilities and common areas. The staircase leading to the room is relatively narrow. The room seems to have been renovated from an older space. The bathroom is smaller, and the showerhead is not adjustable, which made it less convenient to use compared to the shared bathroom.

    Near to the MRT station, easy to move around. It’s always my go-to when I have to stay in Taipei. The room has high-quality bedding ! even the carpet is so comfy, I’ve fallen asleep on it a few times.

    The hostel offers check-in services till 9pm and since I knew I would arrive late into Taipei, I had to book myself into a different accommodation for the first night.

    The hostel is easily accessible from Taipei Main Station and Zhongshan Metro and offers a lot of options for food and shopping around the area. They give out vouchers for breakfast to be used to offset expenses made at the breakfast store at level 1. I love the breakfast options. Although they do not have staff available at the counter round-the-clock, I was able to reach the staff to help me at in the wee hours of the morning when I locked myself out of the room stupidly. Kudos to the friendly staff for answering my call!

    Showerhead directed at toilet area, making it very wet after showering, sometimes the toilet paper will also be wet, unless you roll it up beforehand. Basin area small, difficult to place stuff such as toothbrush/toothpaste/facial cleanser if there's more than one adult.

    Located between Taipei Station and Songshan Station, it's also quite near the bus station (if you plan to take a bus to and from the hotel to the airport), it has a cafe so you can use the breakfast vouchers to have breakfast here. The shared pantry is linked to a bookstore. Room is clean and spacious.

    You can hear the noise from the street. And i just hope there will be more toilets and showers.

    There is bidet in the bathroom in the first floor but not in the 3rd floor where my room was located. A bathroom/toilet without a bidet is quite inconvenient. I hope the breakfast place/cafeteria has an option for coffee in their drink menu.

    Location is excellent! It is easy for us to travel anywhere we like using metro. The place was super clean, there is staff cleaning the bathroom everyday. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast options were great and affordable (if you order something more expensive than your breakfast voucher).

    My kids stayed here for one week and appreciated the convenience of exploring Taipei and joining tours departing from Taipei Main Station. Most importantly, they felt safe and secure throughout their stay. The only trade-off to the central location was that the noise level was a bit higher than they had expected.

    The Bathroom no charge for hair dryer and the washbasin is placed too close to the showerhead, forcing you to stand in an S-shaped posture while taking a shower.

    Great location close to major attractions, but the room design and noise isolation could be improved

    • Quadruple Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 4 nights

    I stayed at this hostel during our recent trip (4 bed in a room with private bathroom), and while it has some positives, there are a few things that could be improved. First, the noise cancellation is quite poor. You can clearly hear people talking in the hallway or common areas, which makes it hard to rest or sleep. The bathroom design isn't very practical — the entire floor gets wet when you shower, and there's no dedicated space to put essentials like a toothbrush or toiletries. Also, the table in the room takes up quite a bit of space. Removing it could make the room feel more open and make it easier to lay out luggage. Overall, it’s a decent place but could benefit from a few thoughtful changes.

    The location very good. All the famous spot are nearby.

    The wifi connection in my room was bad and the bed was on the hard side. There were also accumulated dust in the space behind the headboard. I found it hard to set the hot water temp for shower, either hot or just cold.

    Location was great, shared bathroom were clean, building was cute, and staffs were nice and helpful. I was able to store my bag the night before check in time with a small fee, which helped a lot.

    Very comfortable bed and pillow (I liked it very much I even went to ask what brand was the pillow). The staff were all so friendly and helpful 10/10. It was not allowed to drink or eat in the room though, they provided simple breakfast for travellers until 10:30. It can also be ordered the night before, allowing you to collect it in the morning from downstairs breakfast cafe. Everything was smooth and easy and will consider to return again in the future.

    The water had seeped through the bathroom and the floor is actually wet right outside the bathroom while we arrived. Due to the hostel is fully booked they are not able to change another room for us however the staff provided us another towel to put on the floor upon request. Might required more maintenance works before checking guests into the room.

    The location is very convenient, close to most public transport as well as Taipei Main station. Room is on a smaller size however it's quite comfortable and cozy, might be complicated with bigger luggage. Staffs are helpful and check in instructions are clear. Breakfasts shop down the hostel is really good and the hostel provide breakfast voucher that can be used there. Big common space where you can have meal there with a bookstore beside.
