The best part of TaiwanMex is the location. It's about a 5 short minutes walk away from the MRT with plenty of shops to get the daily needs on. But that's about it. We stayed at the private en suite double room in TaiwanMex 2. It's in an apartment on the 9th floor of a building near TaiwanMex 1. Raul... More

It's a very convenient place to stay. Just 5-6 minutes walk from Taipei Station. The room we stay is with bathroom. Toilet is clean. They provide big tissue roll that you can use for days, so no need fuss keep on asking for toilet tissue everyday. Shower is good. They have cold/hot water filter that you can take drinking water...

Raul and Magos (the owners) are the best! I stayed at Taiwanmex 1 in the dorm room.. it is a small room but very comfortable. The sheets were clean and smelled nice. I will definately go back there again.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Taiwanmex for about 2 weeks and were very happy with the place. It must be said that we stayed at Taiwanmex 3, which is the newest and probably the nicest of the 3. It had just opened so we and another pair of travellers staying there each had a whole 4 bed dormitory to... More

Taiwanmex is one of the friendliest hostels I have ever stayed in. The owners, Magoo and Raul are exceptionally cool owners. They run it themselves with a cat named "mimi" who by the way is a stray cat adopted by these two wonderful people. The hostel is located on the 9th floor (this is the 2nd building where I stayed...

Prior to arrival of the hostel, the owner emailed detailed directions of how to get to the hostel so it's idiot-proof. Location wise it's convenient as it's just beside the Taipei main station, thus making travelling around taipei a breeze. The amenties provided were very basic but very clean. The people in-charge were friendly and so were the guests living... More
