    - The aircon in the room was way too cold, it felt as though it is colder in the room than outdoors - Be wary that if your room is on the 4th or 5th floor you'd have to carry your luggage up the stairs without a lift - This is not a "social" hostel if you're looking for that kinda thing

    - The hostel is located a stone's throws away from the mrt which was very convenient. - The toilet and rooms were overall generally pretty clean

    Lack of Cleanliness in the common areas…. Floors, couch cushions. No access to make your own coffee, hence having to buy Their coffee or go out. No French press?/ just hot pot. No kitchen just microwave. Common area was not conducive to eating; Low tables, chairs for quantity of guests. You never got that hostel vibe that makes this TYPE of accommodations special. Common area/ eating area was not temperature controlled , no air conditioner until requested (5 Stair flights down) difficult when eating noodle soup. Shower area was TOO small, you had to dress IN the shower Stall ..clothes you were putting on got wet. Luggage storage area was at the bottom of the stairwell …UNSECURED. I had the corner top bunk, so when someone showered the floor above, you heard Loud Gushing water. at your head. This happened evenings and early mornings…very unsettling. Like What!?

    The beds, the linens .location. Perfect sense of safety.

    Unfortunately the worst night’s sleep I’ve ever had in a hostel - our beds were right next to the door and would shake every time someone entered/exited the dorm (i.e every 15-20 minutes from 10pm until 2am, then again from 4am onwards) - the staff offered to move one of us to an alternative dorm for our second night but the hostel was too full to move both of us. We appreciated the offer but ultimately the beds would be better moved away from the door, or those beds should be offered at a discounted rate in the future. The dorm was also incredibly warm - there was one standing fan to cover 12 beds during a heatwave, plus some aircon that only reached some of the beds. The air conditioning in the communal areas can only be controlled by hostel staff but there is no one on duty on Sundays until 11am - this meant that those areas were unbearably hot and effectively unusable until then (temperatures ranged from 30 degrees upwards during the heatwave whilst we were in Taipei); not great if you need to use those rooms to cook/eat/work

    Clean hostel in a good location

    Notably more expensive compared to similar hostel/services in Tainan and Taichung. Missing water fountains in cafe/2F and rooftop/5F. Shared shower and toilets have no aircon which is fine but neither fan or minimal ventilation which makes them hot in summer. No elevator.

    Convenient to go reach Yangmingshan national park or nearby Dalong Street Night Market/Shuangcheng Street Night Market (and Songshan airport via bus R50) 12-beds dorm (3F mix, 4F female-only), wifi, bed light, power plugs 1.5/international + 2 usb, hooks x2, curtain, large windows which is nice but road/mrt view and means hotter in summer if aircon off. Free small locker (with key), optional medium locker NT$ 10/day. Aircon (off between checkout and checkin time and cleaning, except for cafe). Shower (x2 per floor), hot water, soap, shampoo, hair dryer, no towel (extra NT$ 50). Western toilets (x2 per floor), toilet paper, no toilet gun. Cafe on 1F and 2F. rooftop with common area, fridge, micro-wave, laundry on 5F (wash NT$ 60, dry NT$ 60)

    Showers trying too hard to look modern that basic necessities like hooks in the showers or a ledge/shelf/hook next to the sink to put your things are forgotten. Common area a bit of a joke, a glass room superimposed on the roof. No kitchen, only a few cups and utensils. More expensive than the hostels but did not seem worth it.

    Beds and rooms were quite comfortable. Very close to train station and busses.

    the bathroom are dirty, we stayed for 6 days and they only cleaned it 2 times during our stay. the showeroom is clogged and sometimes the toilet is dirty with poop. the ahower are doesn't close all the way and the cold air goes inside making us freeze. it is also not senior or pwd friendly. no elevator for elderly or big baggages. the front desk also did not give us rhe best service. she said there are no available beds in the lowerbunk for us, but only to find out that we were the only one who stayed there for a long time. she should have given us the lower bunk beds since we were the first ones to arrive there. she said it is not possible. either its poor planning or she really don't want to give the best service. she didn't even let us do early check in even if the beds are ready, we would have appreciated even just 1 hr early, she saw how tired we are but no compassion! we will never go back.

    the only thing we like is the location, it is near the red line mrt yuanshan station. just a 2-5 mins walk going there

    I seldom fill up this suggestion space but I thought I would share my experience by pointing out the use of Air conditioning in the hostel especially in the middle of summer. I understand the needs of saving cost from the electricity or going Green but switching off the air con from 11am to 4pm (or sometimes longer if they are not informed you are back to hostel) can be annoying when you needed a rest in the middle of afternoon. Same goes to the air con in the common room. You will need to go all the way down to the reception and ask someone to turn it on and walk all the way up everytime and they only allow you to use the air con up to 3 hours.

    Good little hostel equipped with necessary facilities. Staff are friendly and helpful. The hostel located 3 minutes walk away from Yuanshan Station (Red Line). Lots of food places and convenient stores around.

    Only place to eat food was on top floor. Bathroom didn’t have ventilation so it was very steamy even after cold showers in summer.

    The bathroom are really small. 2 showers for floor, you don't have a place to put your necessaries or clothes because inside the box, everything gets wet. They have a nice common room, but it's on the top floor without elevators, 5th floor, so it's not really convenient to go up and down. The top bankers have no ceiling, so there always a little light

    The staff and the girl that works in the coffe shop are really friendly. Always greets you with a nice smile. The place is clean, the location is great. Near the MRT and some nikes and bus stops

    The boxes in the dormitory are made of some kind of wood. That means: your neighbour turns around in his sleep and its „boom“. So something to put in your ears is a must. I was there during CNY. So not a lot of traffic outside. But normally it must be extreme, with the dormitory next to the big road…in terms of noise and in terms of pollution. So really: this place is for young people, who do not care much about this

    Nice staff, the Datong-area, the cleanliness of the hostel. For a hostel, it had some class
