This place is very moldy. In the rooms there was mold on the ceiling. Very humid inside which made everything smell. No windows in the room to air it out. Also showers had a lot of mold on the walls, ceiling, and floor. Super strict rules about check out, only allowed to leave bags until 5pm. No social vibe if you want to make friends this is not the place

Facilities were ok, cheap prices

There is unfortunately an extreme mold issue in this hostel. The "smaller dorms" have no windows so there is nothing that can be done to refresh the humid and mold air. You can also see the mold on the walls. It was very hard sleeping in these conditions and would absolutely never return again. When taking off the bed sheets the pillow and mattrass was also dirty, could be from the mold or just sweat from other guests.

Staff is friendly. Shower has good pressure, toilets are overall clean. Bed linen that is washed by professional company and also smells clean.

The location

Stayed in February 2025

Nothing i can think off. just as suggestion they can tie up with tour agents for free walking tour, pub crawl etc to make it memorable.

I loved the concept of the dorm and the bed layout. The hostel's cleanliness is worth mentioning. Lockers are provided for free, and the towel rental is nominal. The front desk staff was friendly and efficient. The location is unbeatable and a major highlight. The washrooms are ample and well-maintained. Slippers are available for washroom use, which is appreciated. The bed and mattress were super comfy, ensuring a good night's sleep, and the privacy at each bed is a big plus.

Unreasonable rules. Service was awful. Zero hospitality felt esp. on check-out day.

Location superb

Absolutely loved my stay here! The location is unbeatable—just a 2-minute walk from Ximending MRT Exit 1 and right across a 24/7 7-Eleven. The dormitory was spotless, bed was so comfy, strong aircon (a lifesaver in summer!), and privacy curtains with reading lights/USB ports. The shared bathrooms blew me away—stylish & immaculate. Everything felt fresh thanks to daily cleaning. Recommend this gem for its convenience, cleanliness, and value!

I like that the staff is very responsive once you contact them. the establishment is just a few meters away from the central area of ximending. comfy bunks, good room.

On my what-supposed-to-be-a-clean bed were a couple of long black hair. The shelf was dusty. The locker didn't lock (you can open it without a key, just pull down the door a bit. The shower is mouldy, the wet concrete looks disgustingly dirty. The toilet had a poor light probably to mask the dirtiness of the place. The bed has metal frame and the mattress is short to cover it, so every time you sit on the bed, your thighs would touch cold metal. The staff can't help neither with the locker fix or with WiFi, which was almost nonexistent. They charge the same price as a super clean place near the Taipei station (it was booked out unfortunately).

The only thing that's good in this place is location. 3 mins to Ximen, 2 min to the red house, 7-eleven is right across the street. And they have an elevator. That's about all good.

The room was a bit dark but I was out all day so it didn't really matter.

Location is perfect for accessing Taipei broadly. You're right next to Ximen station which provides access to 2 convenient metro lines. It's also one stop away from Taipei main station, so easy HSR and airport line access. The staff were great, let me keep my luggage there for a week whilst I go around the island which is awesome.

It was difficult at times to communicate with the staff at times due to lack of English, but they did their best. One of the staff members randomly accused me of opening a window when it was done by someone else.

This makes a fantastic budget base in Taipei. Located right in the popular Ximending tourist area, close to the metro, there are tons of shops and restaurants around. There's a convenient 7-Eleven across the street for any snacking needs. The bunk beds were comfortable, with curtains for privacy, and there was a good amount of storage space. The dorms were quiet and peaceful. The staff was polite and despite their limited English we were able to communicate. There is a small kitchen for basic food needs and the cafe area on the main floor is quaint. I didn't meet anyone during my stay and it's not a hotel conducive for that, but that wasn't my intention on this trip. Given the price and location, this is a good choice and I would return.

The way one male staff informed me to check out real quick while I'm packing my things. He could have been little polite. Just a feedback but I would recommend this hostel.

fast & easy check in

Staff wasn't very friendly (except the old lady! She was amazing). They didn't believe me when I told them they had already charged my card (because I hadn't confirmed the arrival time?! and they didn't even text me that I HAD to confirm it before charging my) and then had to come back to apologise and tell me they did in fact charge my card. Checkout is SUPER STRICT (they charge you another night for checking out 10 minutes late!??!?!) and showers were moldy. Meh.

Central location, lots of food and shopping options nearby. Comfortable enough bed and the facilities were really modern.

Service

Stayed in September 2024

"Industrial style" shouldn't mean bad design. I fail to comprehend the brilliance of putting a door with a noisy sound effect right next to beds placed on a thoroughfare. When the hairdryers on the other side of the door cease their midnight song, you are awoken to the nine lesser bellsounds from the door improperly closed. The cot was a 6/10. Just about long enough if you're not tall and the sheets are clean even if the little shelf and the cot are less so. There are other things to mention, but this is how you are introduced to Dan hostel as you check in: There's a full night's charge if you're ten minutes late checking out, there's 200ntd charge for not taking off your linen, 500ntd for losing your key. The latter two are nearly reasonable, but it's not exactly a welcoming introduction. I wouldn't stay here again. (This following part is a seperate issue) I changed my booking from three nights to one night. I signed the bill for a refund of two nights and instead I was charged another night. The credit card app showed me I was billed four night's worth and then it locked me out. I cant withdraw anything. The receptionist helpfully produced two unsigned bills that are a "refund" and a charge for the same amount for that night. He asked if I could read.

The location is crawling distance from MRT Ximen. Mini kitchen with fridge and water.

Hassle free, clean room and bathroom. Walking distance to ximending and ximen mrt. Staff are very nice. Kitchen utensils are available. We really appreciate that we can leave our things after check out but be sure to pick it up until 17:00. We can go around taipei without carrying our backpack.
