Breakfast Quality not so good (but at that price totally fine)

Lage, Late Check in

Stayed in August 2025

Room was tiny, mattress not the best.

Good hostel. Private room was a good price. Very small room but nothing wrong with it, A/C and WiFi both worked perfectly in it. Really really good breakfast for a free (I think?) hostel breakfast (cereal and milk, bread and waffles for toast with 6 different spreads for them and good choices. Also little hot dogs and of course coffee and tea). Location is really good if you want to be in this part of town and affordable options are limited in this area

The locker was too small, my luggage didnt fit in

Good location, nice bed

My friends and I stayed in the four-person room with bunk beds. I knew there would not be any windows but I didn't realize how poor the ventilation was. Nothing in the room every fully dried which was frustrating. I also recommend for that room, a chair. There is a small table in the back corner but no chair. More storage or even hooks would be incredibly helpful.

The location of Formosa 101 is really great. I enjoyed the laundry in the building. There is a washer and a dryer and costs money to use. Luckily, whenever I needed to use it, it was free. I really enjoyed the lounge on the 5th floor. I actually preferred it to the breakfast area on the 12th floor. I like how the property offered free tea. The breakfast was toast and sausages with different teas and coffee. I appreciated how the bathrooms were always clean (even if they were slightly hard to find at first).

It’s obvious that the building is old

The Shower room in common area is nice.

I don't love the new bar area as much as the lounge down on the lower floor. Luckily both are still accessible. The room smelled a little bit, but it was acceptable.

I've stayed there a couple times. The owners are really friendly, though they're a bit more busy now that they have a kid. Overall, everything was clean and nice. I love the lounge on the fifth(?) floor.

Comfortable and clean place with friendly staff. The shower was piping hot which was perfect after a long day of travelling. The free coffee in the morning was great. Would choose Formosa101 again.

The men's communial toilets were a bit too far away

The breakfast was simple but good.

In my opinion to expensive, however it seems to be in line of Taipei market. Still most expensive hostel I’ve been in. Breakfast not worth it.

Great location, one of the cleanest hostels I’ve been in.

It is quite a walking distant from the nearest MRT station (some 15-20 minutes walk) The bathroom and toilet area need upgrading and cleaning. I was a little disappointed with the whole building, it is old and worn out. The common area is small, and breakfast spread is meagre, quite a contrast from the picture shown in the booking site.

The location is near 101 tower and an old town conservation park. It has a night market right opposite the hostel. There's quite a number of eatery and cafe nearby.

Shared bathroom was out of the "apartment" what make the logistic not pleasant. Room had window, but it couldnt open and towels were not for free. Basic breakfast.

Location, close to the Taipei 101 and night market.

1. The soundproofing is extremely poor. We stayed in a double room and could clearly hear the footsteps of every person passing by in the hallway, as well as conversations from the adjacent room. 2. The hairdryer and shower area are combined in the bathroom, which poses a safety hazard as water may splash onto the hairdryer. The hairdryer is very old and noisy, making it quite frightening to use, as if it might explode at any moment.

The hotel has a great location. Although it's a short distance from the subway station, the surrounding area is very convenient with plenty of atmospheric restaurants and bars. Plus, it's not far from the bustling Xinyi District if you want to go there

Very easy to check in. Room and the common areas were very clean and tidy. I don't think there were many people when we were there so the bathroom were in perfect condition. There is a nice little breakfast setup, and access to the kitchen. The room was confortable and clean.
