    It’s a very well-located and reasonably priced hostel. I don’t understand why so many reviews mentioned that the staff and the old lady weren’t friendly. I think the people who left bad reviews might have been the problem. I was a bit worried at first, but in the end, everything was totally fine. Everyone was actually really friendly and nice! 😊

    The beds need lights, as there was a continuous problem of the main light waking everyone up at night and early morning, as soon as anyone was getting up or going to bed late. Mosquitoes were also a problem in the dorm.

    It was quiet, located on a calm side road, close to the metro.

    I had a fairly ok time. First night they had a full house. I didn't get too affected as I slept about 2 hours and then went down stairs to hang out in one of the common rooms. I was feeling hyper so I ended dancing to some music videos while the woman behind me who is deaf was doing a video chat with sign language. Next night I had thr place to myself.

    If you are not Taiwanese they will ignore you. Just a 'correct' place to spend 1 night but I think they could be nicer to customers.

    There is no locker box as advertised, and the room is a bit smelly, i think need locker to put baggage and guest stuff for safer and less messy.Bed no private like curtain to close so i need to hang my cloth to stay private

    Laundry area with free detergent is quite convenient for guests, receptionist young lady can speak english very well and overflow tea and drink, pantry are always available for guests

    To increase privacy, consider adding curtains around the bed to block the view of others sleeping.

    Friendly stuff and nice facilities

    We were able to book a room for our group of 8 (even though mixed gender; I just made the request by message). There isn't a ton of space but we didn't need much for that night. Good value

    People were being very noisy well past 11 p.m. Also had to wait to take a shower because a lof of people wanted to take a shower at the same time and there were only 3 for up uto 16 guests on that floor.

    It was nice, pretty clean, staff was nice. Beds were comfortable and it was in the district near the mall and very close to the metro, so good location.

    The air conditioning was not on all the time but it was on most of the time when needed. No towels but this is expected for a hostel

    The staff kept the place clean all the time. The lady of the house enforced using house slippers only to be used inside no exceptions, which helped keep the house clean.

    There are no curtains, which can be a dealbreaker for some people. Beds can be a bit hard especially the top bunks.

    The location was nice. There were enough showers and toilets on the different floors. The AC worked well and the room was okay in size for 6 persons.

    I was there for one night only, but I really liked the cozy vibe this place has and I wish I had the time to stay there longer. It's super close to subway and bus stop which I really appreciated. The room was good and I slept well.

    The cleaner was so loud. She also just burped really loud in the common areas for no reason. She did it for about 20 minutes.

    Everything was great but the staff were a bit odd.
