    Shared bathroom was out of the "apartment" what make the logistic not pleasant. Room had window, but it couldnt open and towels were not for free. Basic breakfast.

    Location, close to the Taipei 101 and night market.

    The location is good, but the soundproofing is very poor.

    • Double Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 1 night

    1. The soundproofing is extremely poor. We stayed in a double room and could clearly hear the footsteps of every person passing by in the hallway, as well as conversations from the adjacent room. 2. The hairdryer and shower area are combined in the bathroom, which poses a safety hazard as water may splash onto the hairdryer. The hairdryer is very old and noisy, making it quite frightening to use, as if it might explode at any moment.

    The hotel has a great location. Although it's a short distance from the subway station, the surrounding area is very convenient with plenty of atmospheric restaurants and bars. Plus, it's not far from the bustling Xinyi District if you want to go there

    Very easy to check in. Room and the common areas were very clean and tidy. I don't think there were many people when we were there so the bathroom were in perfect condition. There is a nice little breakfast setup, and access to the kitchen. The room was confortable and clean.

    The walls are so thin that I heard my neighbor opening their drawer and a women screaming at 4am. My room was next to the corridor so I could hear people coming back late at night. I was unable to sleep the first night, which I was offered earplugs for it. At least I could sleep the 2nd to 4th night with earplugs on.

    Excellent location, very close to my conference venue, and for that location the price is very attractive.

    The woman's bathroom was a bit small especially since it is shared with the whole floor. I wish there was a bigger or a more convenient lounge area for people to eat and work on the laptop.

    The room and bed was comfortable. The lockers were secured and fit my carry-on suitcase and backpack. I liked that there was complimentary breakfast.

    Some sound proofing on the bunks wouldn’t go astray. But the hostel did provide ear plugs.

    Location! Next to a bustling night market and close to some of Taiwan’s best clubs. Pawnshop is right next to anytime fitness in Xinyi road but you wouldn’t know unless you’ve been. (Down stairs and to the left.

    The grumpy guy on duty when I arrived. My cheery “hello” was met with silence and he hardly looked up during check in. Not a great welcome when you’re tired and have been traveling all day.

    Bathrooms are a little dated, and the windows aren't insulated if your room has one so the street can get a little noisy.

    Great value for money. Hostel was pretty quiet even when at capacity, pretty good location near city centre and night markets, bathrooms and common areas were all tidy and cleaned daily.

    The shower head in the shower was a bit low, if you're taller than 165cm, you're gonna shower in a funky position hehe.

    I was expecting worse for the single-room without window, but surprisingly, it was rather nice for a night sleep. Less noisy than the ones with window and a bit more spacious.

    The morning staff was rather nice, but evening staff was a bit unfriendly. The coffee served at the breakfast counter wasn't my favourite. Luckily I brought my own coffee and there's hot tab water at the kitchen.

    Location is right in the city centre, there's the elevator so it's convenient for anyone arrives with luggages.
