My room was spacious with a good-sized bathroom area. I booked a private double room although I was on my own but the space was big enough for two. Sound proofing was reasonably good, given that there is a busy road very close by. The bed was comfortable and I also had a desk and chair and a fridge.

There was no common room of any kind. A space besides the kitchen where guests could relax would have been nice.

Hostel Jiizu is located in Songshan District. This area has won the 模範社區獎 ('Role Model District') for its clean streets, safety, and good public facilities. You will see there are hardly any hotels in this area due to the government restricting the 八大行業 ('8 big industry like pubs, nightclubs, sauna/spa etc.') in Songshan District. We stayed in air conditioned 2-single bed standard room on Level 3. There are windows in the bathroom. The bed is firm which we liked. Beddings are soft and comfy. Amenities provided include bottled water, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrushes, toothpaste, slippers, razor and a comb. There are fridge, kettle and TV in the room. On the same level there is a coin-operated washing machine and dryer. We didn't use the Wifi as we got a Sim Card with unlimited data (all mobile providers charge the same and can be easily purchased on arrival in Taoyuan International Airport). We especially like the daily housekeeping (including replacing towels and sheets) which you might not get in a typical hostel. There are also umbrellas at the level 1 counter for guests to borrow. Nearby shops: ChiaTe 佳德 (our favourite are Pineapple Pastry & Red Bean Glutinous Rice Cake (contains pork floss) - Start queuing early!! IJySheng 一之軒(our favourite are mochi) If you can, although its not nearby, please try Sugar & Spice 糖村 nougats!! The taste and texture are out of this world!!

All is good

Breakfast was not provided. We bought our own soybean milk and pancake breakfast at the shop nearby. Delicious and reasonable! We went there three days in a row! There are so many options for meals in walking distance. The buses and train in one block can take you to many places you want.

We are older now and climbing up from the lower bunk bed was not easy any more.

Once you get there, you will find everything you need on the same street. Including international banks for foreign currency exchange. Plus only 5 minutes walking distance; you will find the most famous bakery shops to buy pineapple shortbread cakes.

There are busy peak hours for washing machines and dryers to wash my dirty clothes. Lucky, i am in a single room and able to hang my laundry in the bathroom for air dry.

There are many shops nearby and the hotel itself is near the main road.

Bathrooms in the mixed dormitory are not cleaned on a regular basis. Hope they can hire someone who will maintain cleanliness of the shower room/ bathroom

The location of the hostel is great near the mrt and a big bus station. Easy, cheap and uncomplicated.

If you take a shower you will end up with a lake in the whole bathroom. The room is not very soundproof so you hear cars and people from the street as well as the people in the room next door talking.

We like every thing.

The only reason I didn’t give a 10 is we stayed at the lower bunk and we are too old to get up easily. Next time we will book the upper bunk.

Great location, right on the street with many places to eat. Three blocks from the MRT. I always appreciate having a water machine. Nice to have a kitchen available in hostels.

there is a nice kitchen with free coffee and tea.

there were no windows in the room

The toilets and shower are clean. The mattress and pillow are okay. I saw the pillow has yellow stains and you will not see when you use the pillow case on top of the pillow.

Thee is no mug or cup. Also you can't cook.
