    I wasn't impressed by the food, and it should be a bit bigger selection.

    My room was quiet, away from the elevator, which I asked for.

    No shelf in the beds to put phones on at night. Outlets were at the foot of the bed. I'm just being nitpicky really. I've stayed in hundreds of hostels and this was easily in the top 5.

    Omg this hostel was amazing. Female only dorm. Privacy curtains. Clean showers and toilets. There were air vents in the beds! And counters with mirrors to quick get ready if you needed. Breakfast was a huge buffet with a mixture of asian foods and breads.View of 101 from the dorm window! Comfy beds. Lockers were good with separate number locks. Staff was really nice as well. There's a bar right outside the 1st floor entrance which is super cute. 7-11 across the street and only a few min walk to Raohe, so great location!

    The size of the room was really great. I loved having a couch to relax on. The view of Taipei 101 was really nice too. I slept really well each night thanks to the blackout curtains. Shower was great and the bidet was a cherry on top. Breakfast was fantastic. I will definitely be staying here again.

    The breakfast here is top-tier! Really delicious and everyday the menu is slightly different. Great location, just 30 mins by public transportation from Songshan airport and the main train station. Really clean facilities. I like how each floor has a common area/kitchen. Walking distance to Raohe night market and other great restaurants. I will definitely stay here again.

    The shuttle service from the airport seemed excessive. A huge van arrived for only me. Too expensive and a waste of fuel. Next time will arrive earlier in the day and take public transport.

    The staff!! Ian was super knowledgeable about local things to do like getting a transportation card and finding a yoga class. Comfortable room and bed, good shower, and breakfast!!

    There are a lot of people in one dorm room though ... I stayed in the female dorm room, which was quite calm. No big critiques about NK hostel to be honest.

    Great location, and a nice breakfast buffet is included in the price. Good value for money. Moreover, the lockers are spacious (fit a whole suitcase).

    Extremely comfy sleeping pods and hotel-style breakfast

    • Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room

    The arrival at reception was a bit "cold", not a smile, not a welcome, just a simple "hi", it seemed they just couldn't be bothered with what they were doing. The guys explained some basic rules and asked for my credit card to confirm the booking, a few seconds after I realized that he didn't even ask me if I wanted to use cash or card for payment, they just assume everybody pays by card. The price I paid was TWD 1180/night, a bit pricier than other hostels, I only stayed 1 night and it was fine, but I would have had second thoughts about booking here had I decided to stay longer, it depends on one's budget really. The toilets are located before the reception, a bit inconvenient if using overnight or straight after a shower. The location of the hostel might not suit everybody, some other people would complain it's a bit too far off the main central area, personally I was fine with it but then again, like for the price, I only stayed 1 night.

    This was my 1st hostel during my stay in Taipei, I arrived at Taipei Main Station from the airport, I then took the MRT (Green Line) from Beimen station, got off at Nanjing Sanmin (5 stops), from here it's a 10 minutes' walk top. You access the dorms/showers area + your own dorm via the card you get from reception. You get your own locker (inside the dorm), which is big enough for a normal-sized rucksack or a small-sized suitcase (the one that fits into the overhead locker on a plane) and you access it with a 2-digit combination (3 digits would have been better); the dorm was slightly air-conditioned throughout the night, quite a faint noise, and not too cold, actually quite pleasant overall. If I remember correctly they turn off the dorm lights from reception at 23:00, I was ok with this. The showers are right across the dorm, 3 showers (maybe 4?), big showerheads, there are sinks as well. The sleeping pods have an amazing size, they're big enough for 2 people and are very comfy, have their own light which is also actioned via the card and are provided with a proper curtain for privacy. The other excellent thing was the breakfast buffet, with savoury and sweet options, almost like in some hotels. Tea & coffee are available all day from the huge kitchen. Cleanliness was good throughout. The hostel is on the 5th floor, where there's also a balcony should you wish to smoke, and from which you have a view on Taipei. There is also a laundry on the 8th floor. My Internet connection was slightly on and off, unsure if it was the hostel's wi-fi not working properly, it might as well have been my mobile. Check-out at 11:00 was great. It is located at less than 10 minutes' walk from the Raohe Night Market, one of the main ones in the city.

    Stayed here for two days during my first trip to Taiwan! Was worried about staying at a hostel at first but this facility exceeded my expectations ☺️ Staff were friendly, bunk beds were roomy, breakfast was also really good. Bus station just a few steps away although you'd have to walk for around ~10mins for the train station. Will definitely stay here again when I come back 😊

    Toilet is placed past the front desk on the other side of the common space. It is a bit of a journey in my opinion.

    The pod style bunk beds are spacious and feel private. The lockers are large as well and the showers are clean, comfortable and large. Breakfast has quite some choices for a hostel.

    Good place to stay. Front desk service was awesome. Angel and Ian were knowledgeable and answered many cultural questions to me which made me feel as home. The free buffet kind of breakfast was a highlight as well, with traditional Taiwanese food, such as Braised Toufu, Congee. Highly recommend!
