    This hostel is perfect! It's very central, extremely clean, has a big common area with small separated spaces too, they offer different Taiwanese breakfast every day, the staff is friendly, and the dorm beds allow privacy. Nothing to complain about! I'm already looking forward to coming back here at the end of my trip.

    Great socializing hostel in a nice neighborhood.

    • Stayed 4 nights

    The breakfast was a little light portion-wise, but was still very delicious. The shower curtain was really light, making it awkwardly wrap around you while showering (and letting water splash into the toilet area).

    During my first couple of days being in Taiwan, the staff were extremely helpful in answering my random questions. I like that the hostel offered various events throughout the week, giving me a chance to socialize with other people while going on a local tour, watching a movie or playing MarioKart together. The bed was better than most hostels that I've stayed at and was really helpful for recovery after doing so much walking throughout the day.

    Excess security. Like everywhere in Asia, people step out of their slippers right in the middle of walking area so one trips over them. Not the fault of the hostel, but problematic in small dorm rooms.

    Location to Main station very close, great staff, squeaky clean , well equppied kitchen, quiet, super complete breakfast, hot water, beds and internet are all good. NO HOSTEL STYLE USELESS CLUTTER! Yay!

    Internet is not reliable and will occasionally boot you off and have trouble reconnecting, especially in the evening. The vegetarian breakfast option is pretty much the same every day. They replace the main meat option (dumplings, radish cake) with a variation of a green onion pancake.

    Long check-in hours and the hostel is comfortable especially considering how many people come through. Breakfast is good and you choose from 3 times beginning at 8am to get breakfast. There are large lockers that are locked with your card. This is not as much of a social hostel, but they do have events like walking tours or hikes on some days. They have a food waste/compost bin and their DIY bubble tea event was fun and used glasses and metal straws.

    The breakfast was small and simple. But I guess it was so cheap that it doesn't matter much. Do that stress about missing breakfast hours.

    Female room was cute and tidy. Had separate bathrooms just for those 2 rooms so it was more private and quiet. Very clean overall and the staff extremely helpful.

    The location to transport is excellent. Everything was very clean. The staff were kind. The rooms were quiet, despite the hotel being fully booked. There are two washers and one dryer on the roof to use; be prompt in taking your clothes out, or the next person definitely will. The guests were predominately middle-aged and no socializing seemed to happen at breakfast or in common spaces; so, the atmosphere was quiet and not a party scene.
