The hostel was really close to Taipei Main Station so it was easy to get to and from the airport, and around the city. There's a pretty big 7/11 underneath which is super handy and quite a few local restaurants and bubble tea places so you're never out of reach of anything. They hand out breakfast vouchers for a few local restaurants, which makes the meal free or super cheap. They have a washer and dryer with free detergent which I used and that was really handy to have in the hostel. The staff was super friendly and attentive whenever I needed anything.
Very minor issues. Some of the toilets smelt really pungent. They have one fresh floor towel in the morning per shower cubical...so if you're the unlucky last few people to have a shower late, then that towel is looking a bit rough. The noise from outside can easily enter the sleeping area but they provide good disposable earplugs for you.

There's so much that I love about this hostel, I don't even know where to begin! Though it's near one of the farther exits of Taipei Main Station (at the underground mall zone), it's centrally and conveniently located: just a few minutes' walk from an exit with an elevator, and also near the airport MRT. The location is great: lots of shops, cafes, and restaurants nearby, including a 7-11 right next to the building. You can even walk to Dadaocheng in 10-15 minutes. The hostel is beautiful; it's a building with a history. I booked a bed in a dormitory room; the beds were properly partitioned — almost like I was staying in a capsule hotel. Each bed also comes with enough sockets for you to charge your devices, and there are partitioned shelves for your belongings, including a locker for valuables. Luckily, I had quiet roommates, so I was able to get a good night's sleep during my stay. Also, the shared facilities are clean and well-maintained; the common area is so cozy and lovely! On days when I was too tired to travel, it was nice just chilling in the common area and taking in the ambiance, or browsing through the infographic panels (about the building's history, as well as helpful info for first-time Taiwan travelers, like must-see attractions and must-eats). For breakfast, you get vouchers that you can use at four nearby partner restaurants. All serve local cuisine (though one also has Western food like sandwiches, in case Taiwanese food isn't to your liking), so breakfast gives you the opportunity to try Taiwan's delicious food! As a fan of Taiwanese food, especially breakfast food like shaobing and danbing, I was very happy to have tried a different partner restaurant for breakfast each day. The staff are very friendly and helpful; I appreciated all their help. I got so much value for money for my stay, and I genuinely enjoyed just spending time at Meander 1948.
Just one small thing: the wifi connection at the common area isn't very good; more often than not, it didn't work for me. Thankfully I had a pocket wifi, but it would be nice if the staff could check on the wifi connection there.

The staff is amazing. Our airline lost our luggage and the staff helped us over several days to get our luggage back. They were very helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and quite modern. Only the sink outside of the bathroom needed some getting used to, but it was okay. The location is great, the main station and many shops are close by and it is very easy to get to all the attractions. Also, the hotel is easy to find. We had a room with privat bathroom on the top floor and a balcony with a nice view. Also, you can get free drinking water in the common area, which was great as we hadn't to search for a store every evening to get water. We really liked our stay here!
The price for the room was quite high. Also we booked with breakfast included but you get a coupon with 80 NTD per person, which you can spend in a restaurant nearby. We went to a really good one, "my warm day" and the food was delicious, but we had to top up for our breakfast, because the 80 NTD weren't enough. I think for the room price, a whole breakfast should be included. But i still can recomend the hotel if you can afford it. We liked it there.

Staff are very friendly and accommodating. The hotel has a welcoming atmosphere. Location is excellent with lots of dining options the moment you step out of the hotel. Free breakfast vouchers are provided with choices to eat at the different restaurants nearby. Please take note that restaurants are open starting at 10:00 am. Room size is big with city view. 711 convenience store is right next to the hotel.
The hotel is conveniently located near the purple line and takes about 10-min walk to the hotel. But had a hard time locating the hotel because there were no signages. To optimize our trip we usually started our day early so during our entire stay we didn't get the chance to use the breakfast vouchers because restaurants were open late morning.

Location is very central and lots of restaurants nearby voucher provided for food (you can pay extra if you want) in inside cafe bathrooms very clean and towel provided daily, dryer. Bed was ok, but good enough. Lobby with a kitchen was comfortable. locker for luggage is provided. Eric (staff member) was very helpful and attentive. Cleaning ladies did a great job
The bunk bed was noisy, guest above me can be heard with any movement. For a hostel, the guest are very quiet and shy. No ice breaker t have people meet or talk.

Hotel very clean, staff work well to keep it that way and also the other guests who I shared the facilities with during my stay were respectful. AC was good however this is able to be controlled by the people in dorm. Which is bad, some people may turn it off or up, I personally like it cold but the hostel should set it at a middle ground maybe 20c?? Most time it was set to 22-24 which was bearable. I slept well.
Suspicious stains down the side of the bed curtains but whatever, didn't care just a note. My biggest issue with the hostel was that they have all the bags and storage lockers in the dorms right next to the beds. It makes no sense, all this causes people including myself potentially waking others or stopping them from sleeping. What if you need to find something, organise or rummage through things . It makes noise. I think the lockers should be in a separate location, same as the bathrooms. The only other thing I could think of is that I'm 179cm tall and it was too long for the bed. Not an issue if you can bend your legs slightly or sleep diagonally. Didn't bother me as I expected this from reading other reviews.

The location is extremely convenient, the facilities are modern, well-designed and well-maintained. Once I got free earplugs from the reception I slept really well in my comfy box. The air conditioning level in the dorm was perfect for a good night's sleep. Every guest has a big locker and storage area too. The bathrooms were modern, and the showers worked well. The provided toiletries were good quality. You can rent a big towel for 50 Taiwan Dollars. The Seven-Eleven on the ground floor (open 24/7) was a life-saver. The common room with balcony and loft space is pleasant and I liked having access to a laundry room. The staff, especially manager Li Ga, were all lovely. And I spent 6 nights there for less than 200 euros!
These are not so much negatives as things to be aware of. Like every hostel, the experience depends on the other guests. Sometimes the bathrooms smelled or there was water everywhere but I think they were cleaned regularly so what can you do? They were cleaned regularly but it is what it is. Other guests were mostly quiet with a few exceptions. The cafe downstairs only opens at 9:30 am so I ended up getting my coffee from Seven-Eleven. The partner breakfast places are nice and very typical (you have to try the soy milk place!) but they're not next to the hostel so sometimes I went elsewhere to save time as I had a packed schedule.

Location and rooms. Staff is nice especially Luke.
Unfortunately they don't have clear rules and guidelines for people who may use the dormitory rooms. There was a girl from Hong Kong or China (or "New York") who layed ALL her washed wet clothes around the room on top of the lockers, by the window sills, around her bed. Not just 1 or 2 (still not good). Because, she said they were "not driable" in the dryer. Wet smell and awful appearance of laid out clothes were something I didn't feel comfortable with. So, there must be information about the usage of the rooms.

really convenient location. very close to the airport express. you can also pretty much walk to most places like Di Hua street, Zhong Shan and Ning Xia market. our room for 3 travelers with en suite bathroom was very comfortable. surprisingly quiet despite being next to a road. the doughnut and scallion pancakes right opposite the hostel were really yummy - highly recommend. there is a 7-11 next door which is super convenient. the staff were very nice and friendly.
would love to have a kettle in the room itself but they have a common area in the 4th floor if you need hot water so that's OK. the shower took some time to warm up but it wasn't a problem.

Great: Design. Space. Price. Location. Amenities. Probably the best hostel to stay in Taipei. Very comfortable rooms and cleanliness is top notch. I really appreciate the breakfast coupons b'cos the places were yummy! Hostel staff are helpful and kind. Location is SO NEAR Taipei main station. Restaurant beneath hostel has THE BEST risotto I've had in a while, with very decent wine & beers. Also, the Japanese restaurant Sando (directly) opposite the hostel is REALLY GOOD.
I regret not picking a bigger room with windows as i spent so much time in my room because it was so comfortable!
