    Super high quality & culture of old Taiwan

    Phone call ahead of time with a "grilling" dynamic. Starting to lean toward machine-like and untrusting away from (till now) their amazing warm human feel. I can only guess how challenging its been for them to operate with both high standards and warm open culture. I hope the signs of distrust and guardedness are temporary.

    The foundational culture of this place. Always iterating. Always a sense they operate as a respectful tight team. Each visit (its my favorite Taipei base) something upgraded in a creative way

    What?? Why point my attention there? I'll have to Squeeze my mind to answer, but it's off point, and slightly painful to send my thoughts there

    They're always iterating. New women's shower improvements upping air flow big time. As always it's a place in Taipei i can deeply relax, in a space of flow and care. People in this space can naturally care for themselves. I can. And that's beautiful and rare. Taipei for me is stressful, but knowing I can stay at NK makes it a treat.

    Rooms fully booked 🤭

    It's my Taipei "go-to." I'm always at ease. It's a oasis of humanness in what i experience as the stressful craziness of Taipei. This time I was traveling with my husband on a sudden trip, and no full rooms were available. Do I dare do dorm??? I dared and 6+ foot tall husband picky about beds was surprisingly content. NK always learns, adjusts ... is different in details and same in the result of "all bases humanly attended to."

    If you want the central place with the nice view over Taipei 101 that's the best what you can find.

    There's really nothing I could complain about.

    Everything was so easy going, check in went smoothly and I asked the stuff and they gave me cute little room with the view over Taipei 101 and Xinyi District. The stuff also speaks very good English. Good Breakfast. Excellent View.

    ? I even appreciate the positive side of how the bathrooms are located a bit far from dorm rooms.

    Humanly designed. Simple beauty. Easy to take care of everything here. Light clear signage. Grounded vibe throughout. There's a coherence that sets a harmonious human culture.

    Its not that close to the station especially for me came from a country that doesn't walk a lot. yes the market is near, besides the market, during the day, nothing much.

    it was prettier than expected. very clean, easy check-in and has a lobby that u can bring food to preheat there, very comfortable. they know basic english

    Room: Large with very comfortable bed and great bathroom. Had an amazing view of Taipei 101. No complaints at all. Staff: Staff were very friendly and accommodating Breakfast: Good filling breakfast with varying options of things to eat. Location: Within walking distance to subway station (less than 10 minutes) and Songshan Station (for trips further away) if you don't mind walking 20 minutes or so. Can easily walk to Roahe Night Market which is great. Also, good connection with buses too as there is a bus stop not too far away.

    I can't think of anything. 1 improvement comes to mind I wash the day's clothes in my evening shower, so it'd be great to have a spinner to semi-dry clothes. Luxury!

    Total relaxed order. Frantic Taipei is behind me. Amazing 5am breakfast care from the front desk dude even though "official breakfast time" started 8:30. View of sunrise Yang Ming mountains from the balcony is... wonderful, too

    it's I little walk to the bathrooms from the hostel space.

    each time I go there's an obvious upgrade somewhere. this time it was curtains in the shared women's shower room.

    Our room is facing the highway. It’s still noisy even with the windows closed. I’m sensitive to noise especially when sleeping.

    Bathroom is nice.
