    Did not find where to open the air conditioner of the common area in the morning (8-9 am)

    The hostel was cozy and the atmosphere was chill. Location just good, only few steps from the MRT station.

    It is hot in the corridors and bathroom. When you enter the room it is pure bliss because there is an aircon!

    The location is convenient. There is place to lounge and you can have your own snacks, too. It was a lovely place!

    A hostel to return to
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room

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

    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.

    Really nice stay
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in Female Dormitory Room

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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

    No lifts. And reception closes early and opens late.

    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!

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

    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.

    The bed was extremely hard so if you don’t like that I guess that’s a negative aspect. Pretty unsocial vibe.

    Great location in charming Yuanshan area. Felt like a perfect spot to be. I only wish I’d stayed longer. The hostel is clean and bright. Staff was helpful and friendly. Perfect place to stay and great value. Bedding was clean and felt surprisingly high quantity.

    Cozy and comfortable stay in a lively, yet relaxing, area
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 7 nights

    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.

    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.

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

    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!).
