We really enjoyed our week at NK Hostel. It felt safe and our quadruple suite with two bedrooms, two fridges, two TVs and two bathrooms was great value for money, spacious and comfortable. We loved the soft towels, power showers and heated toilet seats and were glad of the air conditioning. Everything was clean and the room smelt fresh. We found the staff friendly and helpful, the hallways and reception/common room/kitchen area were pleasant, there were plenty of options at breakfast and the laundry room worked well. We were able to leave our luggage at reception for the whole day once we'd checked out. It was helpful to have the free water machine in the kitchen where we could refill our bottles. We were pleased that there is a recycling bin and the hostel is trying its best to be eco friendly by not washing towels or cleaning rooms unnecessarily during the stay. The location was great for walking to Raohe Street Night Market & the impressively ornamental Songshan Ciyou Temple and we enjoyed meals at Creative Pasta and Zhuji in the Songshan Train Station building. We also visited the nearby Wufenpu Clothing Market, Taipei 101, National Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall and Songshan Cultural and Creative Park with tasty delights at 79 NIGARI Tofu Pudding shop, Lazzy Pet Friendly Cafe and Sushiro in Xinyi District. There were bus stops within 5-10 mons walking distance and we found it easy enough to make trips to Yehliu Geopark, Qingtaingang Grasslands, Shilin Nightmarket for Deer's Flower Cake (yum!), Jiufen Old Street, Houtong Cat Village, Taipei Zoo & Maokong Gondola plus explore Daan Park with the Artist, Flower and Jade Markets nearby. The Nanjing Sanmin underground station is 7 mins walk. It was staight forward to catch the green line to Beimen and walk to Taipei Main Station for the express train to Taoyuan International Airport. Would definitely feel keen to stay at NK Hostel again if we go back to Taipei.

The WiFi was a bit temperamental and we were at the front of the building so there was noise all night from the road but we got used to that. The setting isn't very attractive on a busy main road with overpasses but the interior of the building makes up for it.

The capsule bed is for double people and very spacious. The curtain ensures your privacy. The bathroom and toilet is incredibly clean. They must have cleaned it regularly. You don’t see wet floor stain like other hostels. I love the breakfast. You have the usual toast and Chinese breakfast with congee/pickles. Lots of salads, fruits and boiled eggs.

You have to go past the main reception room to get to the toilet which is slightly inconvenient for the midnight wee 😊. However, the shower room is just outside of the room.

The foundational culture of this place. Always iterating. Always a sense they operate as a respectful tight team. Each visit (its my favorite Taipei base) something upgraded in a creative way

Phone call ahead of time with a "grilling" dynamic. Starting to lean toward machine-like and untrusting away from (till now) their amazing warm human feel. I can only guess how challenging its been for them to operate with both high standards and warm open culture. I hope the signs of distrust and guardedness are temporary.

Room: Large with very comfortable bed and great bathroom. Had an amazing view of Taipei 101. No complaints at all. Staff: Staff were very friendly and accommodating Breakfast: Good filling breakfast with varying options of things to eat. Location: Within walking distance to subway station (less than 10 minutes) and Songshan Station (for trips further away) if you don't mind walking 20 minutes or so. Can easily walk to Roahe Night Market which is great. Also, good connection with buses too as there is a bus stop not too far away.

They're always iterating. New women's shower improvements upping air flow big time. As always it's a place in Taipei i can deeply relax, in a space of flow and care. People in this space can naturally care for themselves. I can. And that's beautiful and rare. Taipei for me is stressful, but knowing I can stay at NK makes it a treat.

What?? Why point my attention there? I'll have to Squeeze my mind to answer, but it's off point, and slightly painful to send my thoughts there

a bus station is located few meters away from the hostel that leads directly to taipei main station, subway station is close by as well

this other guest was fumbling through her luggage until 1:30am.. very loud even with my ear plugs on there should be a time set for quietness for sleep, the facility was quite clean but I could still spot dust&mold here and there- I was hyped up by very generous reviews but to me it was a little cleaner than other hostels nothing too special bed and linens are wonderful

One of the best hostels in Taipei. Especially appreciated the spotlessly clean bathrooms, big beds, spacious lockers, and the breakfast which exceeded my expectations. It offered several kinds of breads, kongee, soybean products, fresh and pickled vegetables, as well as eggs. The staff is fluent in English and has been very accommodating too.

The current rating does not make justice to the hostel. It prevented me from booking it earlier.

Everything was clean and well-maintained. The staff were nice, and they spoke enough English to be able to help my-uncultured-self out. I really liked the lounge area, it felt cozy, and the free breakfast in the morning was really welcome! More options than i was expecting for sure - plus there was salad, which is honestly hard to come by in taiwan and i missed raw vegetables!

Since booking.com asks what i didnt like, i guess my only complaint could be that you get a free towel for your first night but then you have to pay for them after. Not a significant problem at all

It's my Taipei "go-to." I'm always at ease. It's a oasis of humanness in what i experience as the stressful craziness of Taipei. This time I was traveling with my husband on a sudden trip, and no full rooms were available. Do I dare do dorm??? I dared and 6+ foot tall husband picky about beds was surprisingly content. NK always learns, adjusts ... is different in details and same in the result of "all bases humanly attended to."

Rooms fully booked 🤭

Facility was clean and well kept. The reception and common area was spacious and had lots of seating area. Breakfast was surprisingly decent with a spread of local congee with condiments and bread with spreads and salad. The bed was very comfortable. Location was convenient. Close to Raohe night market, food eateries and MRT

1. The ventilation in the dormitory could be better. 2. Additional drying rack needed for the number of beds 3. Didn’t like that the WC was outside of the reception area. Would have preferred the WC and shower area to be combined
