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.

We stayed in the Meander Osaka hostel and enjoyed it so decided to book the one in Taipei too. It’s in a great location - close to the main station and within walking distance to some shopping areas and local restaurants. We had breakfast included which meant we had a choice of 4 restaurants to go to. We would recommend trying Li-Ji Soy Milk for a traditional Taiwanese breakfast. The room was a good size and showers had all the amenities we needed for our stay. Common area was nice too, although as we had a private room we didn’t need to use it much. Fresh towels provided each day along with bottles of water.

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 room was clean and comfortable. I always stay in hostels while traveling, and this one was the best I've ever stayed in. The bed was large, and I could store my belongings in a secure locker. Towels were changed daily, and the public areas were clean and tidy. The hostel is just a few minutes' walk from Taipei Main Station (Y13 exit), making it easy to access public transport and the Taipei Underground shopping area. There are also plenty of local food options nearby. The staff were very helpful when I needed to store my luggage after checking out.

Can't think of any.

The room and bathroom were clean. The housekeeping staff were helpful. Close enough to the Taipei main railway station to. walk there. There is a coin operated laundry, and a common room where we could eat our takeout meals. The hotel will store luggage up till 10pm

We arrived 2 hours before check-in time. While the front desk was happy to store our bags, the staff did not tell us about the common room where we could have rested until our room was ready. We had to wait in a nearby coffee shop instead. Meander 1948 is really a hostel more than a hotel despite the name change. in

The staff were lovely and very helpful. The dorm rooms were so well designed with a decent sized locker and luggage storage for each person. The thick curtains around each bed were great for blocking light and giving a feeling of privacy. I appreciated the shelf in the bed space for storing my phone etc. I also liked having the gentler light and full light options in the bed space. Having the stairs to the upper bunks was also great! It was so clean and very charming. The communal space was lovely too.

Very well thought through, dorms are comfortable with enough storage space near the bed. Solid bed frame - no creaking, no wobbling of the whole bed when the person in the upstairs bunk bed climbs up. Lovely social area upstairs, no parties. Great for grownup backpackers who value peace and quiet but also room for connection if desired. Staff goes out of their way to help. Washing machines are new, clean and silent. I travel often and rarely come across hostels as convenient as this one. Absolute gem

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.

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.

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.
