Very clean, quiet so a good night sleep (it’s quiet from 10pm in the rooms 😊), a nice chill out cafe on the ground floor and another room on the first floor which is easier to work as it’s quieter, good WiFi, friendly staff, 3 cats (they are very shy) and the odd dog which comes into the cafe 😊, very friendly staff, free water refills, Very good price and decent location with 7-11 and the MRT close

The hostel is quiet hot during the day and you pay for towel hire (may be that’s normal in Taiwan, all other other countries normally they are provided)

Cozy, nice little hostel, just a seven-minute MRT ride from Taipei Main Station, within a few minutes of Yuanshan metro station and easy reach of convenience stores, restaurants, and a night market, surrounded by lively streets and a lovely park for a beautiful balance of greenery and city life. The hostel was clean, and the rooms were spacious. The dorm room has big windows, whereas the other one only has a smaller window, be warned. The bathrooms were also clean and easy to use, as well as equipped with hygiene products (sanitary pads, dental floss, cotton buds) and hairdryers. The hostel also provides slippers (good quality ones that won't melt in the shower, but you don't get to take them away), which are also numbered so it's easy to find yours. It's a small detail, but I was definitely glad not to have to guess like it happens every so often. There are two common spaces: a café on the second floor and a room on the roof on the fourth floor. Depending on which one you choose, there's plenty of variation between couches, chairs with tables, beds, etc. There's also plenty of entertainment material (travel guides, coloring books, a guitar, etc.). I absolutely loved hanging out on the roof, it's a comfortable space with an amazing atmosphere. The café downstairs (first floor) closes after 6 P.M., and you can also stay there both during opening hours and later. There are also two lovely cats, which was a definite plus for me, but if you have allergies, know that they roam around the café quite a bit. I personally prefer smaller hostels and quieter environments, so if you're looking for a typical youth hostel to meet big groups, this is not it. What it is, is a great place to rest and relax, with good company if you go out of your way to talk to people, and the opportunity to be by yourself and unwind otherwise. Definitely explore the surroundings and see a few snippets of daily life and Taipei events at Expo Park.

Washing machine and dryer are coin-activated and quite expensive, and they both need a lot of 10NTD coins, which not everyone has lying around. The girl at the desk was lovely and broke my bigger banknote, but considering the above-average price of the hostel, it would've been nice to have laundry be more accessible. This wasn't a problem for me, and the hostel warns you very clearly, but this property does NOT have an elevator, so be prepared to take the stairs. If you have very heavy luggage, be ready, and unfortunately it doesn't seem disability-friendly at all.

Really nice and new. There are really nice common areas (2nd and 5th floor). Everything new and nicely furnished. Great area with many restaurants and shops and MRT station right behind the corner. Comfortable beds (havent slept that good for a very long time, it was difficult to get up and start to do sth) with light and power sockets. Clean new bathrooms.

Most of the people staying were locals with no english, so very difficult to socialize. Not sure if just my bad luck or it is just more popular for locals. No elevator, walking to 4-5 floor gets annoying, especially if you forget sth in the room and need just walk it up again :)

Compared to what was mentioned on one of the pages of the site, there is no breakfast served. Yet, you have access to a kitchen for some microwave cooking and a fridge on the pleasant terrace. There are 2 common spaces in the hostel and a café downstairs where you can have a coffee. There is also an easy access to a laundry machine and a dryer. To me, the location is very convenient as you have an immediate access to the MRT station, Maji square (where a lot of events happen) and a number of restaurants and coffee shops.

The hostel is situated on the corner of a busy street. Keep in mind there will be traffic noise.

Impeccably clean, bathrooms and dorms alike. Cute common areas, even though there wasn’t so much of a social vibe, people were mostly on their phone. They have a guitar and a mat and I enjoyed doing yoga on the rooftop. They also offer a booklet with hikes around the area. The hostel is in a good area, many things accessible by walking, MRT on the doorstep, just like uBikes (best way to get around Taipei!).

Most accommodations in Taiwan love their rules, but this one really stood out. The lady working there was quite inflexible.

Great beds, bedding (possibly the best mattress, duvet and pillow ever!), fantastic layout and lots of different spaces for mixing up your work/social interactions. Very clean, staff super friendly and helpful. Generally ok WiFi. Good availability of drinking water and an absolutely lovely cafe downstairs (all shared spaces were fantastic). Lots of natural light, the bed bunks were private, and some, like mine, had the locker adjacent to the bed so you could access everything in private (if you travel with a small bag).

Sadly it’s on a busy road and has both overground mtrs and planes passing by super close. The noise was significant, but not too bad compared to the perks, and you get used to it. More of a downside was the air pollution from the heavy traffic, and no proper air filter system present (yet!). There is also no real kitchen though there’s a microwave, and fridge and freezer so you can get by. Even so, I decided the perks were good enough, and the staff amazing enough, to return for a long stay after my first, but just be aware!

I was at a mixed dorm and still felt safe. You get your own locker, although it's quite small but great for solo travellers. It's also nice to wake up with the two cats downstairs, great start of the day. Yuanshan Station is literally a minute or less from the hostel and bus stops everywhere. There's a park right beside the hostel and Ubike which is great for strolling around.

It would be great if the lockers were a little bigger.

The bed was comfortable and it was convenient to have the lockers near the beds. The common area was spacious and nice.

The temperature in the rooms was a little too hot. The bathrooms seemed slightly cramped and there were limited shower stalls.

Much better than any European hostel. Great service and attention to detail. They deliver on everything they promise. The coffee at the cafe is top notch, loved their light roast. And the uber cool house cats are gems

Only wish the coffee shop at the bottom was open till 9pm instead of 6pm (this is common across all coffee shops outside but still), it would make this place perfect. And if coffee could option at 8 or 9am instead of current 11am.

Very clean and comfortable. Amazing and cosy lounging areas. Clean toilets. Nice laundry area. Comfortable beds. Good location. Nice tenants and quiet roommates. Felt very safe and taken care of as a female. They even change the bedsheets for me when I requested. Nice big windows with good view - spacious room that makes it easy to keep my stuff. Keep it up!

No lifts. And reception closes early and opens late.
