    There was limited space in the female dorms to put larger sized luggage. The aircon also didn’t fully reach the beds at the end of the room

    Super convenient - right next to Taipei main station. The common areas were beautifully designed, comfortable and had lots of natural light. Free breakfast was delicious and the dorms were clean and comfortable. One of the better hostels I’ve stayed at for sure!

    The international recognition this hostel has attained is well deserved. All aspects of our stay were well attended to. One element to note in particular was the helpfulness and professionalism of staff at reception

    Seems a little pricey for the facilities offered and the limited breakfast. Great idea to offer (and insist on) house slippers, but they’re quite ugly. 😂

    Clean. Friendly and helpful staff. GREAT location.

    The breakfast is not ready when I wake up at 6am. I thought the breakfast will be served at 6 AM. I dont know if you are the one who will prepare the breakfast or the staff. Sad i was able to avail my 3 days free breakfast. I'm sad because I paid for it.

    I like the facility what you see is what you get. The staff are so accomodating. The room are clean and the comfort room as well. I felt so safe and comfortable during my stay. I booked the 6 mixed room. If there is a chance to come back in Taiwan, I will book again in Star Hostel. Very accessible near the taipei main station. Thank you Star Hostel Good Job!

    For me since I sleep on the upper bed so the aircon might be not so cold for me.🥲

    I like how friendly the staff there and they will always keep the area clean especially toilet. The breakfast also very nice and the portion consider just nice for me. I also love the public areas for everyone to chill. It is super cozy.

    Great Stay for Groups with Mixed Needs

    The hostel is located on an old street, and on one pre-rainy day, we experienced a sudden outbreak of cockroaches on the street, coming from the ceiling and the underground pipes. Fortunately, the hostel itself felt like a clean and safe space where we could take shelter comfortably.

    I travelled with colleagues and would highly recommend this hostel. It offers a variety of room types to suit different needs—some of us stayed in single rooms, others in doubles or dorms, with both shared and private bathrooms available. I appreciated the flexibility in room options. We were all quite satisfied, and the common areas were well-designed, allowing each group to find their own comfortable space to gather.

    The bed was a bit too firm but manageable.

    The breakfasts were delicious and changed day to day. I enjoyed the crisp, white aesthetic of the linens. The female dorm had clean bathrooms and showers and readily available towels. There was a lot of space in the common areas for guests to use.

    I wish they gave more info about the laundry and washing machine. Because I had to climb the stairs back and forth because I didnt have the laundry detergent and had to go down again because I didnt have enough coins. It's quite an exercise

    I really love the vibe and facilities there. What I love the most is I can still relax at the common area even if I've already checked out (check out at 11 am, my flight was that night at 7 pm). They are so welcoming ☺️

    Slippers were a little small for my feet. Maybe I could have requested for the guys slippers haha. There was a hair on my pillow, but no biggie, brushed it off. Mosquito in the bathroom, I worry about Dengue so tried to kill it. Not used to having to "throw nothing into the toilet bowl" maybe they can include a sign inside the cubicle. But there isn't a bad smell as they clean up fast.

    Clean, professional staff so I felt very welcome, breakfast was sumptuous. Wide selection of drinks during breakfast, even soy milk which I added to my hot coffee. Good effort to stagger the many guests' breakfast so that it's not too crowded. Ladies bathroom may get busy but usually clears out fast enough.

    I hated the fact that when I finally arrived after 30 hours of travel, they did not let me sit in the common lounge because it was "too early". I was not expecting an early check-in or a warm welcome, but at least a chair to sit and unwind after stressful flights. I begged them to let me be there quetly for a while, even had my own slippers, it was a stern "No". When travellers book a hotel, they expect to have a place to arrive to and at least sit down, especially if it's 5AM and everything else outside is closed. During my stay, when I sat in the lounge, I often thought, how amazing it would have felt if I was allowed to enter that morning. Thankfully, they agreed to keep my luggage when I was out In general, the staff is not very helpful. They are there to provide you with a "DO NOT DO" list and patronize you to make sure you removed your shoes when entering. To the question when does the first train start running in the morning, I was told to ask at the station. After you ask them couple of questions, you remember to never approach them again. For more than a night or two, I would stay elsewhere.

    Very clean hostel at a great location. The private double is tiny, bed squeezed between two walls, but clean and even has a window (to a parking lot, local buildings, and couple of tall modern buildings in the background). Their lounge is serene. Perfect to start a day or unwind in the evening. Overall, not a bad value for couple of days.
