    Impossible to sleep. We didn't sleep more than 2h for 3 days. People are slamming the door in the dormitory almost all night, even with earplugs we were woke up by the noise. People were shouting, speaking loudly all night too, nothing changed even after speaking to them. Cleaning is not very good. The location is perfect but no sleep in a hotel or a guesthouse is a shame.

    Other guests who leave the toilet dirty after using them. And guests that dont know how to gently close the door not showing courtesy to other guests who are already sleeping.

    We super like the location of the hostel, its very close to mrt, restaurants and night market. Easy to check in and check out. Staffs are very accommodating as well.

    Toilet full of rubbish most of the time. Facilities was not as good. Staircases to climb to the bed is dangerous as it lean on wall n no space to hold for bed A01. Kitchen is small n the rubbish is always full. The hostel is not environmentally friendly. No segregation of recyclable item. Bathroom has no hand held shower rose. Only shower head on top. Every time got to wet the hair when take shower. And tbey did not provide shower cap commensurate with this kind of facilities provided.

    the bef is clean. n the location is very convenient

    It’s sad some features weren’t working like the coffee machine, the candy vending machine.

    The area was cozy, bed spaces were just right, you feel at home even if you’re surrounded by different nationalities. Everyone is just accommodating and friendly.

    Springs in the beds do dig into you a little so if you’re staying for a while bare in mind haha! Also bring your own towel!

    Nice social area, balcony and love having access to the kitchen + fridge. Big double beds and showers are lush! Friendly staff and the location is the best!

    Bathrooms are very cramped and small. Not cleaned often, and is quite bad during night time. Shower booth also very small, that you can barely move around.

    Great location! Hostel is in the heart of Ximending and is near MRT station, which makes it really convenient to get around anywhere in Taipei.

    The places horrible is just full of many objects which makes you feel more stressed the air conditioning in the room is horrific there is tons of people struggling for packing moving around, if you really like a good hotel just find "cavemen" hostel nearby

    Nothing, expensive and the worst hostel I stayed in Taipei from 4 hostels in total. :(

    It was great. The staff was accommodating, even giving me a Pangina Heals poster when I asked for it. The place itself was cozy and clean. Everything was complete. I definitely would recommend it. Do not: the entrance is the small entranceway with the posters of women, not the stairs to the left and right of the building. Took me a while to look for it but it's a few meters next to the entrance of Rainbow Hotel.
