Reviews of Star Hostel Taipei East 1 stars

I’m a solo female traveller on a short trip, and this is my second time staying at Star Hostel. It’s truly the best hostel I’ve experienced in Taipei so far. The location is very convenient, just a short walk (3minutes) to the MRT station. The exterior of the building look small, however, the rooms, washrooms, and common hall feel spacious and relaxing. All the amenities are well thought out and well equipped, and the system they instilled to maintain the cleanliness are what I appreciate most. It always feels safe, welcoming, and like a home away from home.

interior is cozy location is very good, just a street across to bars pubs n eateries public area is so cozy and good to house friends for a drinks

This is my 2nd stay at this hostel. We love the location- surrounded by shops and restaurants. A block away from the MRT. Our room was big and comfy for a family four. A full size bed and large bunks. The breakfast in the am was great. Access to kitchen and clean peaceful common area is great. Staff was very helpful in getting me directions for an out of Taipei excursion.

The bathrooms could have been a little cleaner. There were moldy spots. It would be great to have longer breakfast hours. We missed two meals bc we left for early excursions

I really liked the thoughtful design of literally everything: ypu have a small basket to take with you when you go to the bathroom; the breakfast was exceptionally good! The bathroom was very, very clean and the showers were very spacious. The lockers in the room were big enough for my backpack to fit in. There was a laundry and a dryer upstairs, and the location was nicely in the middle of Da‘an districht and easily accessible via public transport. 10/10 would go there again!

Locked me out in the middle of the night though they had guaranteed my late check-in. I’m a 21yo woman travelling alone and was left wandering Taipei at 2am with no cash, no SIM card, no accomodation.

Confortable and really nice personnel.

Emergency light in the room that is quite strong.

very clean washroom and shower, well equipped with hair dryer, hair straightener, facial pads, dental floss, cotton swab. Separated space for dry duty and changing clothes next to each shower room. Toilets are the advanced japanese style ones. Dorm room with curtain for each bed, lockers to store luggage that can only open with your card, hangers, basket for using in shower, each bed has lights and sockets. Convenient location, only 1 min walk from the mrt exit. Nice staff.

bed slightly thin and hard for me, but can still sleep. (not related to property: roommates come back at mid night and go out before sunrise, quite noisy and affect sleep quality).

The location, price and amenities.

The mattress was very uncomfortable (nothing more than a think mattress on the floor), and the bathrooms were very very humid.

Female solo traveler here I would say this place offers me a very safe stay! Location is great, very clean (staffs always take a good care of this place), staff are very nice also. I definitely recommend. (And yes it does look like the pictures!!)

It’s cozy

Breakfast is provided too late

It's super clean and the bed is really comfortable. Storage in room is plenty and can leave stuff in lockers. The common/kitchen area is very chill and spacious and the shared bathroom facilities were clean and new.

It's a tiny bit hot for me after closing the curtains to sleep, I had to lift it up in the middle of the night.

Located in a not-too-busy area. Nice facilies. Very near the MRT exit. Provides free sanitary pads, rubber hair tie, cotton pads, and earplugs. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Will defo come back.

May be the bunk bed makes a little too much sounds when someone on the top bunk moves, but it’s not that serious.

Perfect location. Very clean, well organised and nice little finishing touches. Staff were always very helpful.

Room was tight and bed was very hard but we were in the middle of Taipei. It would be unfair to expect any different. Would have appreciated a hand towel in the bathroom.

The location is excellent—right next to the MRT station, making it very convenient to get around. It’s a standalone building, and the entire floor I stayed on was for women only. The hygiene was also great, and they even provided items like a curling iron.

The breakfast was average, with limited variety.

Amazing, clean and well located. Staff is nice and breakfast is great. I’ll go again with my eyes closed.

Everything was perfect.

The entire floor is solely for female travellers, which feels safe and comfortable. Everything about the hostel is perfectly well thought after! Feels like home! Really love it!

Nothing at all!

Location is perfect

No

Very clean in all areas, looks exactly like the photos. I found the bed to be big enough and comfortable (I stayed in the 6 bed dorm). Location is very central and super close to the nearest metro station.

Nothing!

Very clean, super cosy, a lovely place to stay in!

Nothing, it was all great

Clean, safe, well organised and a small breakfast included.
