    Bathrooms in the mixed dormitory are not cleaned on a regular basis. Hope they can hire someone who will maintain cleanliness of the shower room/ bathroom

    There are many shops nearby and the hotel itself is near the main road.

    If you take a shower you will end up with a lake in the whole bathroom. The room is not very soundproof so you hear cars and people from the street as well as the people in the room next door talking.

    The location of the hostel is great near the mrt and a big bus station. Easy, cheap and uncomplicated.

    The only reason I didn’t give a 10 is we stayed at the lower bunk and we are too old to get up easily. Next time we will book the upper bunk.

    We like every thing.

    There are busy peak hours for washing machines and dryers to wash my dirty clothes. Lucky, i am in a single room and able to hang my laundry in the bathroom for air dry.

    Once you get there, you will find everything you need on the same street. Including international banks for foreign currency exchange. Plus only 5 minutes walking distance; you will find the most famous bakery shops to buy pineapple shortbread cakes.

    If you have a bunk, towels are not provided (it does not say this online from what I can see, but very inconvenient when you don't have a towel. They're also not for rent either). The lady behind the desk did give us one after some persuasion, but definitely worth noting if you plan on staying here. The locks on the door were very noisy when people were inputting the code. Nothing to do with the hostel, more the clientele. They were very loud and operated on bizarre hours. You'd have people coming in from a shower at 1am and making noise. People would be up and down at 4am, in and out of the rooms with the noisy lock. As I said, nothing at all to do with the hostel itself, but we noticed that every new guest we had in the bunk below us (a new guest every night for 4 days) was up and about at strange times making noise and causing disruption. Pillows in the room were miserable. Also a very strange policy of making your own bed when you arrive. Not a huge problem if you arrive at 2pm, but if you're arriving late at night or early morning after a flight and want to rest.....not ideal.

    Friendly staff. Amazing location for the MRT. Nice spacious lockers to secure your items. Doors to each room had a card lock/codes lock.

    We are older now and climbing up from the lower bunk bed was not easy any more.

    Breakfast was not provided. We bought our own soybean milk and pancake breakfast at the shop nearby. Delicious and reasonable! We went there three days in a row! There are so many options for meals in walking distance. The buses and train in one block can take you to many places you want.

    All is good

    Hostel Jiizu is located in Songshan District. This area has won the 模範社區獎 ('Role Model District') for its clean streets, safety, and good public facilities. You will see there are hardly any hotels in this area due to the government restricting the 八大行業 ('8 big industry like pubs, nightclubs, sauna/spa etc.') in Songshan District. We stayed in air conditioned 2-single bed standard room on Level 3. There are windows in the bathroom. The bed is firm which we liked. Beddings are soft and comfy. Amenities provided include bottled water, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrushes, toothpaste, slippers, razor and a comb. There are fridge, kettle and TV in the room. On the same level there is a coin-operated washing machine and dryer. We didn't use the Wifi as we got a Sim Card with unlimited data (all mobile providers charge the same and can be easily purchased on arrival in Taoyuan International Airport). We especially like the daily housekeeping (including replacing towels and sheets) which you might not get in a typical hostel. There are also umbrellas at the level 1 counter for guests to borrow. Nearby shops: ChiaTe 佳德 (our favourite are Pineapple Pastry & Red Bean Glutinous Rice Cake (contains pork floss) - Start queuing early!! IJySheng 一之軒(our favourite are mochi) If you can, although its not nearby, please try Sugar & Spice 糖村 nougats!! The taste and texture are out of this world!!

    They are not providing cups, glases or plates. They have a big kitchen and a fridge but they don’t provide the necessary things. Room was way to cold, and between the beds ist just a curtain

    Clean, comfortable beds, good location ( a few meters to the MRT and Bus station), friendly staff

    Thee is no mug or cup. Also you can't cook.

    The toilets and shower are clean. The mattress and pillow are okay. I saw the pillow has yellow stains and you will not see when you use the pillow case on top of the pillow.

    The common area is tiny. And while it does have a kitchen, I couldn't find plates or cups anywhere. Maybe you have to ask for them?

    Clean facility. Good location, tons of food around. Comfortable (but cold) dorm room with privacy curtains. Helpful staff :))

    The front door is not locked so anyone can come in. The only secure place is your bedroom. This could be changed and make the location more secure.

    Location is good and staff super helpful.
