Reviews of Mr. Lobster’s Secret Den design hostel

Good location

So far so good

Really great spot, natural light and views in the hostel (I’m learning some places in Taipei don’t have windows), bed area was spacious and offered privacy in the dorms. This was really a great value for the price. I would stay again. It might be a tad bit worn but it’s a hostel. I didn’t find it gross or anything. I actually found the wear and tear to be a bit charming.

Staff seemed like they would rather be anywhere else but there.

Excellent co - working / common space/ kitchen area. Friendly people.

staff were great. room was clean. near transport

I arrived 8 of August,The guy in long hair barly respond for my hi...when I ask why, he said that he is tired at work....excuse me ,what !!!!!I just ignore it because i am I really nice easygoing person but since I travel, so over 7 mths now that was my first impresion of Taivan....in advance I asked also for lower bed as I spended 1 mth in wietnam hospital ...but my asking was ignored...when I came back to ask the reception ..(still the same man) to change it he pretend that he doesnt see me,when i finally said that he is rude he slightly became niceer..the whole team was ok but I am very disapointed and I dont give permision to treat people like that so i dont know give him pay rise or whatever he wants to make him more happy and smily at work ...I felt that I am the issue for him that I arrive and ask some questions ,

Basic accomodation but good price. Definitely not luxury but did the job. Airconditioning and wifi worked well in the room. Common area with washing machine and dryer and basic kitchen facilities and communal fridge. Located very close to train and bus station which allowed us to explore the surrounding Taipei area. 7 eleven and restaurants located close by. Overall, great value for money in a great location in Taipei.

Most comfortable beds I had and nice garden/social spaces.

Staff was very very negligent, indifferent and apathetic.

Very close to Taipei Main Station reasonably priced coin laundry

not well cleaned, I found an used toothbrush and a floss pick in my bed. shower water is cold.

😍The bright spacious room with ensuite bathroom 😍 Meeting other travellers 😍 Large dining and lounge area 😍 There is lift!! 😍 7-11 next door, bus stops, Taipei main station direct access via Y zone exit

Nothing really....

I stayed in the female-only dorm for two nights and three days. I appreciated that the door was key card only and that each bed came with its own locker. The wifi was fast. I loved that people were actively using the communal spaces. It felt very easy to make connections. There were also ample bathrooms. I never had to wait.

The was pretty poor insulation, so I could hear anytime that someone went to the bathroom, showered, or just talked loudly in the rooms next to me. The communal bathrooms seemed irregularly cleaned. There was the same hair from someone on the bathroom drain for my whole stay. They advertised their tours at near the front desk, but they were all unavailable for the entirety of my stay.

Everything. Location, cleanliness, environment, surrounding area. Everything is at convenient space.

Nothing

It was a great location. I made the error of booking a room with no window as it was very confusing waking up and not knowing what it was like outside. It had everything I needed

Decent budget hostel for a stay in Taipei. They have everything you need at a good value. Very close to the main station, night market, etc.

There was a man who wouldn't leave me alone in the common area.

Spacious room and attached toilet in the 4-bedder. Cosy and spacious communal area. Washing machine and dryer came in handy when on a long trip.

Communal cups were dirty. Someone drank our beverages left in the fridge!
