    It’s winter when I booked but I woke up in the middle of my sleep, in sweat because it’s very hot. The renter at the upper deck moved a lot so it keeps me awake me too and every time they slam the door

    It’s near and accessible to famous attractions and it’s near the train station.

    The bathroom was smelly. I mean u can't ask for more with this kind of price.

    They let us store the luggages overnight. The location is right in the heart of Ximending

    The shower/toilet area smells and there is not much space for your luggage. The lobby plays music during the day which I found a bit irritating and because of the location some of the other guests were visibly drunk in the evening

    The location is very good and the staff are really nice, mostly the stay was good

    Was not the cleanest bathroom area, everything didn’t look as nice as in the pictures but still ok, chill-Area is just that table so not the best, but at least something, beds not super comfortable

    Balcony was not comfortable but nice to have one, shower was warm, location was great

    Karaoke by the drunks below goes until around 10:30pm. The sleeping spaces could do with a renovation - it's obvious they constructed it quickly.

    because it's a dormitory type you will expect noises from your roommates like locking the door and snores.

    Easy to locate, accessible in mrt and ximending night market. There toilet has a bidet. Affordable price and approachable staff they can communicate in English very well. Very clean hostel.

    Very noisy at night due to karaoke centre downstairs A few disrespectful guests, including people who steal your food from the common fridge and take your slippers while claiming the hostel said it was ok to do so.

    Friendly and helpful staff Clean with good facilities Walking distance to Ximen MRT Gate 6 Mostly respectful guests Decent WiFi

    Not a very social hostel, more like a hotel in a way that guests keep themselves to themselves. Some of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Others were a little aloof with the guests.

    The hostel is located in a great area of Taipei and only around 6 minutes from a metro station. The hostel was clean and comfortable, with good air conditioning and a hot shower.

    the AC is freezing, i heard lots of guest complaints abt but seems that they can’t not turn down the temperature. beside there is a karaoke just down stair so it will be keep making noises during the mid night but i just so tried and still can sleep.

    the location is in the central of Ximending, with convenient store nearby take 10 sec to walk

    There is not enough space for luggage in the rooms. Couple bunks get one locker which is absurd. Toilets and shower were tiby. Also if you want a mid day nap, not the best place as loud music plays in the hostel.

    Great location

    1) Storage space - Challenging storage space if with big luggage.

    1) Location - very strategy location at the heart of ximending. Very near to Ximen MRT station Green and Blue line. 2) Clean - Toilet and bathroom both were clean all the time. 3) Common area - Spacious and comfortable common area. 4) Bed - Bed space was big.

    The floor below had live music every night I was there, and for some reason you couldn't turn the light off in the dorm room.

    Comfy bed, facilities were good, location was great for the train.

    There used to be DIY free breakfast. Bring it back! Charging plug kinda high.

    Location is GREAT! Accessible to everything. My request for lower bunk was granted. The airconditioning is much better now. COLDER! The drone sound of the aircon actually was conducive to sleep and it drowned the tiniest of noise.

    Music is very loud and goes on late. You can hear it from the bedrooms. Despite this being a common thread in the reviews, the hostel does not turn the music down or turn it off earlier in the evening. Bedrooms are cramped. The main light in the bedroom stays on all night. The curtain for each bunk helps with this but it still seems unnecessary and environmentally unfriendly.

    Great location. Plenty of showers and hot water. Bathrooms are clean. Bunks have good privacy. Staff helped with directions to airport at night. Plugs, light and a safe for each bed.
