    We stayed in a shared room and Im really impressed by how someone thought about details ❤️ the bag in every shower to keep items dry, the small shf for key and phone mxt to the bad and so on. The stay was so comfortable! Love it :)

    Cozy and comfortable stay in a lively, yet relaxing, area

    Washing machine and dryer are coin-activated and quite expensive, and they both need a lot of 10NTD coins, which not everyone has lying around. The girl at the desk was lovely and broke my bigger banknote, but considering the above-average price of the hostel, it would've been nice to have laundry be more accessible. This wasn't a problem for me, and the hostel warns you very clearly, but this property does NOT have an elevator, so be prepared to take the stairs. If you have very heavy luggage, be ready, and unfortunately it doesn't seem disability-friendly at all.

    Cozy, nice little hostel, just a seven-minute MRT ride from Taipei Main Station, within a few minutes of Yuanshan metro station and easy reach of convenience stores, restaurants, and a night market, surrounded by lively streets and a lovely park for a beautiful balance of greenery and city life. The hostel was clean, and the rooms were spacious. The dorm room has big windows, whereas the other one only has a smaller window, be warned. The bathrooms were also clean and easy to use, as well as equipped with hygiene products (sanitary pads, dental floss, cotton buds) and hairdryers. The hostel also provides slippers (good quality ones that won't melt in the shower, but you don't get to take them away), which are also numbered so it's easy to find yours. It's a small detail, but I was definitely glad not to have to guess like it happens every so often. There are two common spaces: a café on the second floor and a room on the roof on the fourth floor. Depending on which one you choose, there's plenty of variation between couches, chairs with tables, beds, etc. There's also plenty of entertainment material (travel guides, coloring books, a guitar, etc.). I absolutely loved hanging out on the roof, it's a comfortable space with an amazing atmosphere. The café downstairs (first floor) closes after 6 P.M., and you can also stay there both during opening hours and later. There are also two lovely cats, which was a definite plus for me, but if you have allergies, know that they roam around the café quite a bit. I personally prefer smaller hostels and quieter environments, so if you're looking for a typical youth hostel to meet big groups, this is not it. What it is, is a great place to rest and relax, with good company if you go out of your way to talk to people, and the opportunity to be by yourself and unwind otherwise. Definitely explore the surroundings and see a few snippets of daily life and Taipei events at Expo Park.

    Most accommodations in Taiwan love their rules, but this one really stood out. The lady working there was quite inflexible.

    Impeccably clean, bathrooms and dorms alike. Cute common areas, even though there wasn’t so much of a social vibe, people were mostly on their phone. They have a guitar and a mat and I enjoyed doing yoga on the rooftop. They also offer a booklet with hikes around the area. The hostel is in a good area, many things accessible by walking, MRT on the doorstep, just like uBikes (best way to get around Taipei!).

    Stairs are steep with no hand rail. Did not take luggage up to room as a result as more than one steep flight. Neighborhood is quieter and further away from popular areas.

    Had shared clothes rack, lockers plus storage bins in room.

    Some guests don't know how to use a toilet but that was just twice. The rest was fine.

    There’s a small disturbance from a drunk guy on one of my nights there, but they handle it quite well end up most of us got out of it pretty well. Otherwise all good

    Great hospitality, great staff. The cubicle for bed are just spacious enough to sleep, the common area was great at the top floor, with the great view.

    The rooms definitely need to be better aired. My bed was furthest away from the fan, so could hardly sleep at night due to the heat.

    The hostel is located at a convenient place, 5 mins from the metro stop, so easy to reach. The street has several cosy cafes and great restuarants (recommend 21 studio!).

    Staff are super friendly and speak English, the room is big and bright and clean. They have tubs you can organize your stuff in which is actually very handy, and lockers for valuables. The bathroom is clean and the chill areas are super comfy. I felt very at home in this place and ended up extending from 2 to 5 days!!
