Small hostel undergoing repairs
Small and inexpensive accommodation centrally located (about 10 mins from the MRT station). The facility is undergoing repairs so there’s a limited availability of bathroom (only 1 toilet available and 2 showers). Clean bed and secure locker. Bathroom cleanliness could be improved. Staff is helpful.

Bathrooms are spacious and clean, pods are comfortable, common areas are nice. Overall, we liked the hostel; however, their clothes dryers are all broken and we spent hours and hours and lots of money doing laundry as a result. Nobody at the front desk warned us about this when we purchased laundry soap. It felt like they were being dishonest.

Well located with nice view
This hostel is easy to reach from Taipei Main Station and railway station to Taoyuan Airport. It is also ideally located for those who wish to explore Ningxia night market and Dihua Street to get to know local foods and culture. Public area is spacious with such a nice view over Jiancheng Park. Option of one dorm bed for two person is available which can save lots of money if you travel as a couple.

perfect place to stay for the money.
clean. reasonably quiet. appreciated the free breakfast. Thursday evening receptionist was great. overnight receptionist (thurs and fri) was helpful. Friday morning receptionist was the opposite--rude and not helpful.

Need someone bring u up is the worst
Room is huge but you would understand how noisy it could be. Some Moron packing at 4am for half an hour making plastic bag sounds happened. Just want to say if you are one of those bad packer, be considerate. Whole world would be a better place. Bed is comfy and worst is what I stated in title. Bit inconvenient and tiolet bit dirty also.

Comfy hostel
It is indeed located between Taipei Main station and Zhongshan Station, so to me , it is better that I can consider which station suits the best for my trip , if you familiar with the MRT in taipei. Also, the hostel is modern and spacious, which clearly add point to it.

Modern, quiet and comfortable for a low price!
Location is about a 10 to 15 minute walk from Taipei Main station, which is the main transportation hub in the city. Facilities looked very clean and modern. The rooms are mainly quiet at night, even with many other guests, which was nice. Liked the privacy of curtains on my bed. The bed was comfortable with space to put my belongings on the side. A locker and key was also provided to store personal items. The rooms are kept away from the lobby, which keeps them quiet. Even the lobby itself is split between a quieter main area, and a bit noisier bar type area next door, so you have your choice of atmospheres. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of my visit for the price, and will definitely be returning again.

2/10 Poor

No tips on refurbishment Shouldn't be open when most of the facilities are under renovation. The photos are not the same as now, they are deceiving people. And the temporary toilet environment is very messy. Feel sorry for other foreigners for letting them stay in such a poor hotel.

記得自備盥洗拖鞋
床位乾淨舒適,不過沒有盥洗用的拖鞋,洗澡時穿著布鞋進去浴室,就算把鞋子放在門口還是有一點濕,有提供長期住宿,所以房間內有比較多的雜物,不過不影響他人
