Taipei Hostels

Pros: Staff were very friendly and made me feel very welcomed. They introduced many eating places and places to go. Common area was clean and spacious. Instructions were clear and easy to understand. Bathrooms were clean and had all the amenities you want. Bed was clean and big enough. Really appreciated that there was space to put our stuff and a hook to air our clothing. Will totally recommend this place to anyone going to taipei and is on a budget.

Cons: The main door and toilet doors close too loudly. Could be heard very clearly in the room. Woke up a few times because some inconsiderate people bang the doors open and close.

Pros: I’ve been to many hostels and never saw such an amazing hostel with the best atmosphere. Best place to meet other travelers, excellent location, super clean, most helpful and nice staff and quiet in the rooms . Everything looks new and in the best condition. the common area is the best to hang out. I wish every hostel would be like meander

Cons: The breakfast is super simple - but that’s true to every hostel I’ve been to in Taiwan .the laundry is on the pricey side.

Pros: There is free breakfast everyday and the people are the BEST! Both staff and those who are staying there are so friendly and diverse. My friends and I wanted to book a hostel for that reason and that was what we got! We all had such an amazing time there and made many new friends who we hung out with outside the hostel as well.

Cons: For me the 10 min walk to and from the train was okay, but my friends said that it is long, especially if you’re lugging around your suitcase or duffles to and from the train to get to airport so we ended up taking an Uber to/from.

Pros: Amazing staff. Great common area to meet people and work, in my case. Spotless hostel and great location. Perfect for my stay in Taipei

Cons: Nothing. Everything was perfect

Pros: very comfortable environment, room is clean, good location near Ximen Station, and Ximen is really nice place to stay, never bored when you come back at night.

Pros: Extremely delighted with the friendly staff - especially Nina and Nadine. They were very helpful in giving tips on where to go / what to eat. The beds were comfortable (we got the triple comfort room), hot shower worked excellently. Bonus - they have very good shampoo and shower gel! They were also located in a convenient spot - near Ximen Red House, the Cinema Park and the night market. 10/10 will stay here again!

Pros: Very social hostel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was not too big but totally ok!

Pros: the satff are very nice, common area is a place to make new friends from other country if you are outgoing person

Cons: i stayed in floor for girl dorm, I met a male staff to do cleaning after the my shower. this is awkward as I assum only female staff will be appear in girl floor.

Pros: Everything's the facilities and location is exellent

Cons: Nothing great hostel

Pros: Everything was really good especially staffs. "Nina" helped me to take parcel from the shop before I left the hostel. She called the shop to ask when the parcel arrived for me because I can't speak Chinese. "Cen cen" guided me the hostel and she is really friendly and energetic. Also "Phoede" was nice too. I loved the breakfast that included porriage and fresh fruits. Lobby was spacious and relaxing. Room is also private and comfty.

Cons: It was a far away to walk from the bus stop from taowian airport. It took abt 30mins. It would be better to take a MRT and ride off at Ximen station. It takes abt 10mins to walk to hostel. You have to go upstair(2nd floor) to take elevator.

Pros: The bed is superb comfortable & the staff ( Lynny) is awesome and helpful

Pros: All the staffs are kind.

Cons: Some of noisy guests. Cleaning without ventilating. The locker was broken. The bar in the guest house was expensive.

Pros: Very clean accommodation, all you need is there. The staff is helpful.

Pros: All was good. Check in was a breeze. Cleanliness was also on point. Was very near busstops and the train station. With many places to eat around

Cons: I think enforcing all travellers to follow the timing of no packing in the rooms have to be stricter. Had a night where travelllers didn't bother and continued packing after 11pm.

Pros: Location is very convenient

Cons: Hairdryer on 3/f are very bad condition

Pros: Very close to the train station. modern and clean

Cons: Not enough breakfast options

Pros: Very friendly staff, good location. Nice place.

Pros: Location is amazing, just 1 block from exit Z8 of the Station Front Mall, a 7-11 a few shops down, and on the other corner down from it, hot pepper buns. I went there for drinks before I switched to the hostel; the flight was cool.

Cons: Airflow is impossible when the blackout curtains are pulled down. The eating area and design of the hotel didn't really invite easy meeting for hostel mates. The 2nd floor hang out cut outs were strangely away from any airflow as well, so while overlooking and opening onto the first floor, no a/c made it up there and it was uncomfortably hot there.

Pros: Room was neat and very cosy. Toilet n shower near room.

Pros: Staff are amazing here. Very helpful.

Pros: Excellent location. Comfortable bedding. Even with shared bathrooms, they’re always clean. Free breakfast.

Cons: Nothing too major. You get what you paid for.

Pros: I liked the staff support.

Cons: They are a bit stingy about toilet paper rolls, often there weren’t enough kept in the toilets.I also felt they kept monitoring about who ate what for the breakfast.

Pros: i like the area for breakfast which is big and lots of seat. the staff are friendly. simple breakfast but enjoy.

Cons: part of the beds are separated by curtain but not board.

Pros: Location, cleanliness, breakfast included, nice atmosphere, staff

Pros: Staff really helpful. Super lounge and kitchen area and having breakfast included was a great bonus!! Rooms are capsule like, not much space for big luggage (mine wouldn't fit in the locker), but it wasn't an issue as not many others had big luggage. Really enjoyed my stay.

Pros: Good location and relatively low price for Taipei

Cons: The room felt fairly congested and there was no clear indication there is quite this many beds in a single room (12).

Pros: Easy to locate

Cons: Bed mattress not comfortable and the capsules are not well ventilated.

Pros: The staff were pleasant.

Cons: Rooms very small, lockers very small, poor air conditioning in the rooms. I booked 4 nights but left after the first night as the security and ability to store my bags in the room was terrible.

Pros: Friendly and helpful staffs. The place was very clean.

Cons: The towel I inadvertently left behind was discarded less than 12 hrs before my inquiry. Should have kept any lost and found objects at least 24hrs after it was left/missed.

Pros: Big bed with locker next to it. The staff was nice and helpful and free breakfast was available.

Pros: Everything

Cons: None

Pros: Homey, comfy, convenient.

Cons: Nothing to dislike about, just need access card for every entrance, people might lost the card easily.

Pros: The ladies in the downstairs cafe are very sweet and were really kind to me when I got very sick because of lack of sleep and freezing rooms; they gave me some medicine!

Cons: Unhelpful staff. On the first day, I was allocated a bed in a B room. Top bunk, smelly, hard bed, no space. Okay, I thought, I'll try and deal with that, as long as I can sleep. HAHA! Every 3 minutes the door kept making a terrible drilling noise, myself and a couple of others guests got up to investigate the problem, but nothing seemed wrong, just an issue with the door. Nothing I could do since the reception had closed. So, I put my earbuds in & attempted to fall asleep. Absolutely impossible, the door and the drill like snoring throughout made it absolutely impossible to sleep. The next morning, after maybe 30 minutes of sleep, I asked to move to a different dorm. I ended up in room A2, which I must say was the best out of a bad bunch of rooms. The problems don't end there, the rooms are either freezing or boiling hot (depending on where you are in the hostel). My room was freezing and despite turning up the a.c. setting, it kept readjusting itself in the night and we would wake up freezing with it on 18. I complained about this and the guy at reception told me to wait for it to adjust, and like most of his colleagues, he was either disinterest or general bored when listening to the major issues which were costing me sleep. Yes, it is cheap hostel, but it should be comfortable. A little customer service training is highly necessary. In addition to this, the other guests (the kind that clearly are not familiar with hostel etiquette) either talk on their phones way after 11pm, or turn on all the lights in the middle of the night to fiddle in their bags or generally talk to each other. You really need to make it clear to your guests that it is a hostel environment, and although I know snoring cannot be prevented, if you sound like a drill, BOOK a private room, because that was seriously unfair. I've never heard noise like it.

Pros: Hostel with a good location. Close to a few night markets and Ximen. Bathroom was super clean.

Cons: Toilets in the morning were mostly bit dirty. No social vibe tho.

Pros: location was good and the bed had a roll down screen so it was nice and private, the room was air conditioned

Pros: Location is quite interesting. Good food

Cons: Honestly, we don't understand the feedbacks and ratings from the other guests. 1. Ok,this hostel is well located. Very interesting area, 2.BUT the hostel itself is not clean. Toilets and rooms are not clean and e bit dirty. No paper in toilets, toilets and shower rooms are not clean. Room: bett mattress are uncomfortable and blankets are bad cleaned. We have been bitten by bedbugs. Honestly hostel is cheap and it has potential to be good, but it needs to be better cleaned up-not every hour, but small things needed to be done better and then it will become a good and comfortable place to stay. For sure we will not come back, if they continue to run the hostel in that way.

Pros: the common area is good

Cons: 1. The people at the reception are not nice and totally not helpful. On booking it says they have a shuttle for the airport, I asked they said to take a taxi. 2. Two toilets for the whole hostel, dont need to say it was really dirty, apparently it's clean every hour but I'm sure it's not true. 3. Laundry too expensive (compare to others hostels in taiwan) 4. Very noisy in the room (because of some strange noise from i dont know what)

Pros: The hostel was good but don’t expect too much about the atmosphere. Close to Longshan Temple metro station

Cons: People working there were not so friendly and helpful...

Pros: The highest price–performance ratio in Taipei. Convenience location, near MRT station.

Cons: WiFi service is too suck. No wifi and 4G (遠傳) connection in the room. Don't choose this hostel if you want to surf the net on your bed.

Pros: Very comfy beds, lockers in the bedroom, bathrooms are clean and seperate for Male and female. Friendly staff. Free drinking water. Great location.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The bathrooms were clean. And the bed was nice. The common area was also very nice.

Cons: The room itself was really cramped.
