Reviews of Old Door Hostel & Bar

Super nice people it was clean and the shower was huge , it was comfy the location is pretty magical. The breakfast was creative and filling

No 24/7 access to hot water or microwave they do have common area or kitchen but the hours end at 830 pm you can eat and stuff in the main lobby but it would be cool have 24/7 access to hot water at least

I like how hospitable the staff were. The location is super great. The place is clean overall. The bed space is good and spacious enough for a person and your things. There’s a comfy and homey area at the top most floor. Bathroom is clean always and glad that they have Japanese type of toilet. I also like that they have a washer and dryer available even if it’s not for free; very useful and convenient.

I think they need to add more mosquito traps or lamps because some nights there are really lots of mosquitoes. I think there’s a need to improve air conditioning in the room because during summer it can get hot even at night in the bed area (since we need to shut close our curtains). I also think they need to add a humidifier in the room because the air gets so dry it’s very drying to the throat that me and my roommates cough at night.

Get one free cup of wine 👍🏻👍🏻

The hostel was incredibly convenient and well located. There is a direct access with the metro, the staff is very welcoming and they try to create social gatherings by offering one drink in the evening. Also breakfast is included. The woman's dorm is on the third floor, accessible with an elevator. It was my second hostel in Taipei and while both are very convenient, this one tops!

I loved the breakfast and the bunk was super spacious. Even though it was a bit of a walk to the station, it is right across the street from an exit to the underground shopping mall which made it super convenient to get around in the summer.

The staircase to go up to the 4th floor is a bit narrow

- Sanitizer for toilet seats. - Thick mattress - Clean linen - Hot breakfast, individually prepared - Notices to keep bathroom and pantry clean. I don’t find such notices stifling. They set the required expectations to keep the place clean for everyone to enjoy the place. - I think the trash bins are cleared very regularly because I could see very little trash in the bins at any time of the day. This is excellent effort. - coin-operated washing machine and dryer available

No towels provided. But it is a small issue if price point is kept competitive.

Everything

Nothing

I arrived later than the check in times and staff was very helpful in helping me check in after hours and providing detailed instructions on how to arrive and check in. The room inside the dorm room was spacious, comfortable and secure. Breakfast was great and the location was wonderful for walking around and getting to know the city. Would highly recommend!

That I couldn't stay longer :)

Very near mrt exit. I like the staff, they always greet you with a heartwarming smile and the free breakfast is ok. Clean and not noisy. And surprisingly with souvenir shops in the neighborhood and some fiod stalls

Nothing

Staffs, bar

Toilets, 4/F’s floor is not clean but need to walk on without shoes or slippers

Warm welcome. Everything is functional. Great location next to main Subway station to visit the city Great choice of drinks if you are a whisky lover

Incredibly spacious bunk, felt like a mini studio apartment. Amazing location, metro is 15 seconds away. Very clean. Decent breakfast.

Very poor sound isolation from the bathroom to the dorm. Not social, however there is a great social area, and I hope this hostel becomes more popular

So friendly staff! Some of them speak Japanese as well. Nice location and breakfast.

There are not many shower rooms, so sometimes I had to wait.

I stayed for 5 days, and used this as a base to do some hikes around Taipei. The hostel in itself was exactly what I wanted: good value, safe, clean, quiet, with ample space for a bag. You are sheltered from the others by a curtain. There is a woman only floor, which I definitely appreciated. The shared bathroom was clean and functional. I only had breakfast for one day, and it was simple but perfect! I really appreciated the selection of teas. The staff was super accommodating, and I would recommend you try one of the pastries before you leave - I had the black sesame scone and it was wonderful!
