    The floor below had live music every night I was there, and for some reason you couldn't turn the light off in the dorm room.

    Comfy bed, facilities were good, location was great for the train.

    I booked a double bed and it was very comfortable. The showers & toilets were clean. I worked every night on my laptop and they have a strong wifi connection. The place is safe, I never once felt nervous even though there are many people staying at the hostel. Staff was friendly & accomodating. I will surely book here again when I go back

    I don,t like how the lady guy how treat and greet those checking in . VERY RUDE! Since I was early I know I need to wait for 3pm for chk in. BE NICE when telling people to wait! after waiting for chk time ... he started and walk and would just breeze through pointing at your room the shower and the toilet and it all took just 15 secs or so! dumbfounded but tired to even argue. THAT'S IT? Note that the hostel is at the 8th floor I think on the 6th floor there's a karoake bar and you can clearly hear the loud music and singing in the room at night! Room door is a very heavy steel door Too hard to open and it slams no matter how you to reduce noise

    Location price ia fair enough Good for a night or 2 stay

    There used to be DIY free breakfast. Bring it back! Charging plug kinda high.

    Location is GREAT! Accessible to everything. My request for lower bunk was granted. The airconditioning is much better now. COLDER! The drone sound of the aircon actually was conducive to sleep and it drowned the tiniest of noise.

    But if you have some guest (in the same rooms) that coming late due to late flight this will be a little noisy.

    This hostel located just next to Ximending MRT Exit 6 by walking distance. This was in the heart of Ximending Night Market so you can find many street food and shops. The signature A Chung Noodle, and Xin Tai Fung Milk tea were very close. There was also many convenient stores (7 Eleven, Family mart...). The hostel public toilet and shower were clean. Staffs were very friendly.

    The music inside the hostel was too loud and I could even hear it over the door. Moreover, the hostel is located in the center of Ximen District, where local youngsters and foreign tourists gather and enjoy festive atmosphere whole day, so you have to be ready for the loud noises and music even from outside as well until midnight. If you prefer staying a quiet and cozy place to relax, Ximen District is not the best place.

    The bed was comfy. They cleaned the shared bathrooms and shower rooms every day.

    Note to reception - when showing people their room don’t slam the door on your way out, then everybody slams them and it's noisy.

    Very good location, good wi-fi, water machine of hot and cold water, good kitchen to cook (many chopstics but only one fork)

    Since we stayed here when it’s really cold. The ac is I think in max level so it was very cold in and out the hostel hahaha

    You’ll not expect the interior of this hostel. Outside it looks like crap but inside is so cozy. The people are nice and friendly.

    The location was central with lots of shops and restaurants, everything was clean.

    I like almost everything but we were a bit confused with our room number since we booked 1 double bed & 1 single bed. but the single bed doesnt have comforter and a locker. overall, its just great since we only stay in the hostel to sleep.

    I like about the hostel is that it's so organized, clean, comfortable and the staff are really nice and considerate!

    The hostel can be very crowded, so you might have to wait to use the toilet and the bathroom in the morning. The bathroom is a bit small and old.

    Great location, right at the heart of Ximending and very near the metro station. Red House, National Museum, Main Station, Cinema Park, and the river are all within walking distance. There are many good eateries and cafeterias in the neighborhood, some even are open 24 hours.

    The cleanliness of common area such as basin, washroom and pantry should be improved. Staff should be more visible at the front desk, so that we can seek their assistance easily.

    The location is strategic and very closed to Xi Men station. Convenient shop and food store are available at this area.

    Staff only work office hours, you’re totally on your own after evening. If you screwed up, you screwed up. And toilet is pretty dirty in the morning before the maid come. And the room can be moderately noisy during night time, because it’s right next to living room.

    Local is supreme, in the middle of XiMenDing

    Rooms are very small so luggage has to be stored in the common area.

    The location is right in the middle of Xiemending walking street. It was clean and the locker was spacious but not big enough to fit luggage.
