Great value for money. Hostel was pretty quiet even when at capacity, pretty good location near city centre and night markets, bathrooms and common areas were all tidy and cleaned daily.

Bathrooms are a little dated, and the windows aren't insulated if your room has one so the street can get a little noisy.

From the moment I walked through the doors, I was struck by the welcoming and laid-back atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and chill. The two girls (one Taiwanese and one Swiss) who work at the front desk, along with the guy on the night shift, were so funny; they were incredibly good people. It felt more like staying with friends than in a traditional hostel. The bunk beds and toilets were kept clean.

Probably they can improve or renovate the toilets.

Location! Next to a bustling night market and close to some of Taiwan’s best clubs. Pawnshop is right next to anytime fitness in Xinyi road but you wouldn’t know unless you’ve been. (Down stairs and to the left.

Some sound proofing on the bunks wouldn’t go astray. But the hostel did provide ear plugs.

The room and bed was comfortable. The lockers were secured and fit my carry-on suitcase and backpack. I liked that there was complimentary breakfast.

The woman's bathroom was a bit small especially since it is shared with the whole floor. I wish there was a bigger or a more convenient lounge area for people to eat and work on the laptop.

I liked the night market close to the hostel with some nice food. There was laundry facility and shared kitchen available.

The bathroom was a downside compared to other hostels. In particular the men’s shower was quite small and clothes hung on the door can get wet easily.

The location is just a few stations away from Taipei's tourist attractions. It's also near a night market. The staff are also accommodating and friendly. Our room has an amazing view of Taipei 101.

There's only one unit of washer and dryer.

I was expecting worse for the single-room without window, but surprisingly, it was rather nice for a night sleep. Less noisy than the ones with window and a bit more spacious.

The shower head in the shower was a bit low, if you're taller than 165cm, you're gonna shower in a funky position hehe.

Central, spotlessly clean, comfortable. Some of the staff were helpful.

The grumpy guy on duty when I arrived. My cheery “hello” was met with silence and he hardly looked up during check in. Not a great welcome when you’re tired and have been traveling all day.

Great location, helpful staff and nice breakfast. I loved the tiny balcony with the view of 101 having breakfast. Comfy bed.

The showers and toilets are really small, as taller person I struggled a bit. I was in cheaper accommodations that were better but I think it is because of the location.

Convenient transportation, close to Xinyi district. Clean environment.

Two bars downstairs, might encounter some drunk(or weird) people late night. But if you don’t mind late night chill then is fine. In general is a safe area, Famimart downstairs, police station at the next corner.
