The hostel is not located in the direct center of Taipei but the underground is in 5min walk... The only bad point of this Hostel which is a big flat is that the bathrooms are being used by at least a dozen of people (could have been more) and is quickly no more clean.... Otherwise staff is kind and helpful... More

This is one of the friendliest hostel that I've stayed in Taipei. The receptionists were very friendly and provided me with great information on local foods, night markets, attractions, etc in the area. This hostel is also within a short distance from the MRT Guting Station. Make sure you take exit 3 from the Guting station, walk straight and make... More

This was a great hostel. Close to transportation, one of the famous night markets, and had a nice, family/friendly atmosphere. I was here on my own but met many nice people who I often ended up going out with for meals or sightseeing. The rooms were okay, a bit small but comfortable and clean. The only complaint I have about... More

It was my first time staying in a big city on my own for 3 days. I've been to quite a few countries, but never alone, so staying here was really comforting and safe, especially since I didn't know Taipei at all. And the only Mandarin I know is 'What', 'I don't know', and 'I don't understand.' I chose this... More

I stayed here for 2 weeks and is one of the better hostels I have stayed in. Excellent location near Shida night market, NTNU and 5 min walk to two MRT's. The manager, Nikita, is very accommodating and helpful. I stayed in a 6 bed female dorm, but the most people in the room during my stay was 4. This... More

Good location, 5 minute walk from MRT, in a quiet residential area close to the university area with a night market, cafes, etc. But it was very difficult to find in a taxi after midnight. It is on the second floor of the building, and the markings were very hard to see at night. I made deposits and then had... More

Overall I was happy I booked at this hostel. The location is great. It’s on a quiet lane, very close to a very convenient MRT stop and in a cute student neighborhood with a great night market and cute cafes and bars. The staff were super friendly and helpful and mostly spoke English very well. The other guests were also... More

Do not misunderstand this average rating - this is an excellent hostel and the staff are extremely helpful. They even helped me to find an apartment in Taipei. However, I strongly recommend that you avoid paying in advance for bookings, as they will not refund any cancelled nights. I originally booked three nights via an online booking site, but when...
