Reviews of Wondertime Taipei Station - Kaifeng Ladies Hostel

This hostel felt like a little oasis in the middle of Taipeh. You can absolutely tell that it was created and designed to be a beautiful and safe place for women because it is so well thought out. For example, they provide towels, sanitary pads, very good hair dryers, multiple washing mashines, cotton pads etc. There is a separate grooming room next to the bathroom which is far enough from the dorms/bedrooms so that the noise of hair drying doesn't disturb anyone. And everything is beautifully decorated and clean. I felt very comfortable as a woman in this hostel and you can tell that the other guests felt comfortable too, everyone's relaxed and often smiling at each other which is rather rare in hostels nowadays. And I absolutely loved my little room with a big panorama window! The girls working at this hostel are also very lovely and helped me with anything I needed.

Great location, so near bus & train station, and loads of places to eat. Very clean hostel. Pod beds comfy, good black out curtain. Staff lovely. Showers great with fab pressure and hot, Love the Japanese style toilets 😊, not a huge amount of room tho. Great bonus of free washing machine/tumble dryer, thank you. Loved that it is female only. Kitchen area ok.

Not a big fan of the round hole into pod. Unable to cook much as no extractor fan despite having hob and kitchen equipment. (No cooking with even a small amount of oil) 😥 Otherwise all good.

Clean, comfortable, secure. There is a good water dispenser available. I appreciate that they sent the nearest exit from the station prior to my arrival. It would be nice too to add that the lift near Z4's exit only operates during office hours and is closed during the wee hours like 5-6am. The nearest escalator is K12 as someone shared. But you also need to check the hours it runs, if not just deal with the stairs.

The toilet and shower cubicles are narrow for some. And it takes some flexibility. When entering the room, the area had many luggages, because understandably it is hard for girls to fit their luggage into the cupboard. But they try not to block the walk way. Some days it felt like too many girls for the place to contain, but I guess I understand that they'd want to fit as many beds and cubicles as they can to maximise space and profits. If you're not comfortable with letting go, compromising being considerate and sharing that much, this may not be the place for you. But if you can adapt to the dorm style culture, this place is good value for money.

I like the room for drying your hair with the mirrors!

Very affordable and everything you need and more. Complimentary washing, drying, sanitary pads when menstruating, shampoo/conditioner and towel. The rooms/beds are very small, but clean and comfy and all you need overnight.

Common rooms are quite small, so ideal for solo travellers, maybe not for bigger groups of friends.

location and facilities

The staff is great! Friendly and efficient. The location is super convenient.

Nothing.

Excellent location! Staff members were very friendly

Hard to get laundry actually done with long wait times.

This was such a nice hostel because it was quiet and clean. This hostel had everything someone could need from laundry to slippers to shampoo and shower gel.

It was a bit difficult to locate, especially at night. There wasn’t much of an outdoor sign

The location is great. It is well-organized and clean. Nice staff and decor. Provides smart toilet.

The bathroom is quite small but it is fully equipped.

Good location, nice and clean

Not very social

Staff were exceptionally nice and attentive. Toilet is with shower.

The hostel is a very short walk from the station you arrive at if you take the express train from the airport. I was able to get a late check in, and this was an amazing place to stay coming straight from the airport. Despite being a hostel, my room was very quiet and very comfortable. The bunks provide enough privacy to be comfortable sharing a room. The facilities were all very nice and I enjoyed having a clean, quiet, and comfortable place to crash coming off of a 27 hour travel day.
