    I expect more for this price point; Beds are cramped up together, some lockers are located weirdly without much space to unpack. Sleeping space is tiny, although bed itself is soft and nice fluffy blanket.

    Strategic location, really easy to check in, no curfew and the building itself is nostalgic. Amenities are accomplished,

    The noise coming from the resto bar

    Really loved my whole stay in this hostel. Toilet and shower were always clean and functioning well. The common area is so cozy. Other guest are nice too and welcoming. Staffs are easy to talk to and helpful.

    It’s winter when I booked but I woke up in the middle of my sleep, in sweat because it’s very hot. The renter at the upper deck moved a lot so it keeps me awake me too and every time they slam the door

    It’s near and accessible to famous attractions and it’s near the train station.

    The shower/toilet area smells and there is not much space for your luggage. The lobby plays music during the day which I found a bit irritating and because of the location some of the other guests were visibly drunk in the evening

    The location is very good and the staff are really nice, mostly the stay was good

    Was not the cleanest bathroom area, everything didn’t look as nice as in the pictures but still ok, chill-Area is just that table so not the best, but at least something, beds not super comfortable

    Karaoke by the drunks below goes until around 10:30pm. The sleeping spaces could do with a renovation - it's obvious they constructed it quickly.

    Staff were friendly, location was fantastic.

    because it's a dormitory type you will expect noises from your roommates like locking the door and snores.

    Easy to locate, accessible in mrt and ximending night market. There toilet has a bidet. Affordable price and approachable staff they can communicate in English very well. Very clean hostel.

    Very noisy at night due to karaoke centre downstairs A few disrespectful guests, including people who steal your food from the common fridge and take your slippers while claiming the hostel said it was ok to do so.

    Friendly and helpful staff Clean with good facilities Walking distance to Ximen MRT Gate 6 Mostly respectful guests Decent WiFi

    The constant singing from the karaoke restaurant one floor below. However, there is nothing that could be done as it is in such a prime area. They tried to mitigate it by providing free ear plugs, which are of great hel

    The toilets and shower rooms are cleaned frequently. The location is right in the center of Ximending, and within walking distance from the subway. The dormitory bed is spacious and clean. The locker provided is also spacious.

    Not a very social hostel, more like a hotel in a way that guests keep themselves to themselves. Some of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Others were a little aloof with the guests.

    The hostel is located in a great area of Taipei and only around 6 minutes from a metro station. The hostel was clean and comfortable, with good air conditioning and a hot shower.

    The light in the dorm doesn't turn off

    The showers, bathrooms and common room plus balcony are clean and orderly. The staff was always helpful and very friendly in general, the location couldnt be better and there is coffee, a small kitchen and a microwave, as well as washer and dryer. The dorms are as expected but fine. The hostel is also queer friendly, i felt really safe.

    There is not enough space for luggage in the rooms. Couple bunks get one locker which is absurd. Toilets and shower were tiby. Also if you want a mid day nap, not the best place as loud music plays in the hostel.

    Great location
