The staff is great, and even if they do not have the best English, they try to help through Google Translate. The owner is coming here and there, and he is very nice to everyone and the staff. It was Chinese New Year, and he prepared some food for the people who stayed. The hostel has a small elevator just for heavy luggage. Bigger rooms have big windows with a net for mosquitos. The street is quite quiet during the night. There are so many hot springs 10 min a walk near Beitou Park, and in the hotel, they show you an English list of hot springs, addresses, and prices. Washing and bringing the machine works well.

It is not that I don't like it; I just must say if you have some injury, you will need to go up; there is no elevator for people. However, they will put you on the 1st floor probably. Maybe curtains can be cleaned and better hung for beds and curtains at the window.

I stayed in three hostels during my trip to Taiwan, Vietnam, and Cambodia. ON MY WAY was the best. It was good deal and also triple the price of the other two. Yes, "You get what you pay for." What did the higher price bring? A wonderfully stocked kitchenif you cook. Plenty of toilets and showers and no lines to use them. Beds with good curtains lights and electric outlets. Large bedrooms so that we could move easily in the rooms. Two different meeting places to discuss things with other travelers. Things all the hostels had in common - fast Internet, friendly staff, and great locations. There was an eclectic mix of nationalities of the guests, including several Japanese college students on break. The hostel is located a good 20 minutes away from many of the sights of downtown Taipei and is in the Beitou neighborhood. If you are heading to Taipei's premier hot spring location, it is perfectly located. Besides the hot spring area about a ten minute walk away, there are local museums, several local night and morning markets, and plenty of shopping within walking distance. Try the morning street markets. Download the metro Taipei transportation app; the hostel is near multiple bus stops that will take you to downtown and the major night markets. Or you could just ride the subway from Beitou Station. I like the buses more than the subways because I like to see the local streets and traffic. I spent four nights and five days here and would gladly stay here again.

I had no complaints about this place. Tips for ON MY WAY. Walking up the street from the Beitou station, ON MY WAY is on the right side of the road. The address is No. 82 Guangming Road. The hostel sign is hard to see from the sidewalk and the hostel front looks like any other storefront on Guangming Road, so look for the green address numbers as they are not on every storefront. When you get around No. 75 or so, start looking more closely. If you walk past a multistory large police station on the left side of the road, you have walked just a bit too far - but note its location because it is a good landmark close to the hostel.

The hostel was super clean and the staff was friendly. Really liked that there was free toast with peanut butter. It felt like there was a little bit more attention to everything. Only was there for one night but it seemed like there was a relatively social atmosphere. The dorms itself were spacious enough so that made packing and unpacking more easy. Beitou is a nice relaxed neighbourhood and is perfect if you want to explore Yangmingshan National Park as there is direct public transport from the MRT station.

No rental towels, you could only buy towels for 150TWD which is a shame I think. Also the bed wasn't that comfortable. Thin mattrass and if someone in the bunk moved the whole bed was shaking. I think the bed situation needs to be improved to beds of higher quality.

Lovely and cozy hostel. Staff very friendly, made us some food one night for the lantern festival, also the volunteers who were there were happy to socialize and share their knowledge. Clean and good curtains, strong wifi, good hangout spot both on ground level and basement. Breakfast is bread and spreads which is a simple way to get a start on the day, but also you’re in Taiwan, it’s literally famous for its breakfasts so you should be going out!!

Such a great stay at this friendly hostel. Really enjoyed the little touches like the social space downstairs, the snacks that you can buy whenever, the free toast/breakfast and easy access to laundry. Also, the wifi is really strong. The location is very convenient: just a few minutes walk from Beitou station and close to hotspots like the springs, night market, and several convenience stores. It was fairly quiet at night, aside from the motorbikes/scooters who sometimes zoomed by the road below. Room and bathrooms are super clean and the staff were there to clean it at 12pm sharp everyday (so sleeping in can be difficult..)

There is no lift aside from a lift for your bags to be brought to your floor. Rooms go up to the 5th floor - also the laundry is located on the 4th floor - so this can be tiring

Because this hostel was also the city's Information Center, its location was pretty accessible to where we wanted to go. You can walk 5 minutes to Beitou Park and have access to the public bath which is awesome. You can also go to the nearby shops without having to take any means of transportation. The train station was also less than a 5-minute walk.

There was this ventilation that is open to the hallway so whenever my husband and I would talk to each other inside the room, people who'd pass by the hallway could hear us. It's not a dealbreaker but it wasn't good for our privacy since I work at night and have meetings. So I was worried if other guests from the other rooms would hear me.

Very friendly and helpful staff, I was able to leave my luggage overnight for a small fee as I was going to Yilan for one night. They thought of everything, including vending machines in case you need a charger, free breakfast and mini escalator for your luggage. Great location, right next to the markets, so plenty of food choices. Also very walkable distance to the hot springs. Close to the MRT.

Only thing I didn't like was the bed, very thin foam, so it felt like I was sleeping on the floor.

I really liked staying here. Maybe I came in with a low bar having stayed in a couple of cramped spots in Taipei city proper, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the beds at On My Way were spacious and clean - there is definitely enough space in the room for you to open your suitcase if you've brought one. Bathrooms were also clean, and there's a laundry machine and dryer available for use at low cost (TWD 60).

Best hostel I've ever been to. Incredibly clean, amazing personel, great location, comfortable beds and good instalations. I absolutely recommend it, plus it's close to a Red Line Metro station, which will take you to Taipei City Centre directly.

The only thing I didn't like at all is that you cannot lock the bathroom door when you're in it,, you can only do so with the cubicle door. But given that there is one shared bathroom per floor for both men and women, this can sometimes lead to uncomfortable situations.

It was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful, there is lots to see in area

It's a bit far from the centre, about 20-30 min by MRT, so if you want to visit sights like Jiufen Old Street or Shifen Waterfall (which takes about 1-1,5 hours from the centre) it will now take over 2 hours. But to me it's definitely worth the extra travel time.
