Reviews of On My Way - Taipei Hostel 2 stars

Nice cheap hostel that's very close to the national park in north Taipei, also close to the city (20min train). Staff were friendly and facilities were very well kept, had a great kitchen too. It's a more quiet hostel (which some might prefer) so not really for travellers looking for social hostel events.

Amazing staff, great beds, chill vibe.

Location is near the beitou hotspring trail, 5 mins walking from Beitou station Helpful staff

Last checkin time is 10pm, which is a bit early Room is quite small, however it is cheap Restroom and shower room is limited

It is very basic rooms that don't have anything special in them, just a bed and a locker. It's not bad but not really good either. Room and shared bathrooms were generally clean. Location is good, further from the city center but not far from metro, close to hiking trails and hot springs.

The bed was creaking and moving a lot whenever you turn on the side, especially the higher bed. It really affected the sleep. Strange smell in the room (not sure were it came from but It seemed that from AC) No hanging hooks that would be useful No towels provided (for that price I would expect it for free). Shower is small so not very comfortable The water fountain is only on 4th floor and 1st floor. 4th floor only gives hot (or very warm) water so it is inconvenient to have to go from 5th floor to 1st just to get drinking water. Walls are very thin so expect to have to wear earplugs if you don't want to be disturbed (earplugs are provided). AC was annoying at night as it is above bed and no matter how you set it up, it blows cool air right at you. If you turn it off to not be disturbed by the blowing, then it gets hot and air gets very stale in the room. It's not that good value for money, I have stayed in more cheap hostels in Taiwan that had better facilities and rooms.

Great little hostel that has everything you need. Best thing is that it’s near heaps of hikes and the hot springs. Super lush area, a bit out of Taipei city. Gotta try those big dumplings down the road toward the train station, they’re mad - I’ll attach a pic.

I liked everything from reception to stay, the location is really good, close to the metro station and other hot springs.

It was not my first time. The hostel is great, but this time I was in a small room which do not have windows. It depends on airconditioner to give aer from a small hall.

Lovely and cozy hostel. Staff very friendly, made us some food one night for the lantern festival, also the volunteers who were there were happy to socialize and share their knowledge. Clean and good curtains, strong wifi, good hangout spot both on ground level and basement. Breakfast is bread and spreads which is a simple way to get a start on the day, but also you’re in Taiwan, it’s literally famous for its breakfasts so you should be going out!!

Nice and clean hostel with very friendly staff.

The sofas in the common room were old and damaged. We were expecting more from such an expensive hostel.

I stayed in three hostels during my trip to Taiwan, Vietnam, and Cambodia. ON MY WAY was the best. It was good deal and also triple the price of the other two. Yes, "You get what you pay for." What did the higher price bring? A wonderfully stocked kitchenif you cook. Plenty of toilets and showers and no lines to use them. Beds with good curtains lights and electric outlets. Large bedrooms so that we could move easily in the rooms. Two different meeting places to discuss things with other travelers. Things all the hostels had in common - fast Internet, friendly staff, and great locations. There was an eclectic mix of nationalities of the guests, including several Japanese college students on break. The hostel is located a good 20 minutes away from many of the sights of downtown Taipei and is in the Beitou neighborhood. If you are heading to Taipei's premier hot spring location, it is perfectly located. Besides the hot spring area about a ten minute walk away, there are local museums, several local night and morning markets, and plenty of shopping within walking distance. Try the morning street markets. Download the metro Taipei transportation app; the hostel is near multiple bus stops that will take you to downtown and the major night markets. Or you could just ride the subway from Beitou Station. I like the buses more than the subways because I like to see the local streets and traffic. I spent four nights and five days here and would gladly stay here again.

I had no complaints about this place. Tips for ON MY WAY. Walking up the street from the Beitou station, ON MY WAY is on the right side of the road. The address is No. 82 Guangming Road. The hostel sign is hard to see from the sidewalk and the hostel front looks like any other storefront on Guangming Road, so look for the green address numbers as they are not on every storefront. When you get around No. 75 or so, start looking more closely. If you walk past a multistory large police station on the left side of the road, you have walked just a bit too far - but note its location because it is a good landmark close to the hostel.

Value price . I visit vacation season but not higher price.

Nothing

Staff was friendly and helpful. Conforate bed. Good location to travel in Beitou district.

Traffic sounds and nerby school noises you can hear very well.

For the price it offers a lot. The first floor and basement provide good dining and socializing space.

My bed smelled really bad when I checked in. Like someone who hasn't showered in weeks. At night people were making enough noise to wake me up a few times.
