Stayed at this hostel for 3 nights. It's location is really great as it is situated in the Ximending area, so everything is within reach: shops, restaurants, cafe, cinema. As for the disadvantages: there was only one toilet, may be I just didn't notice another one. And my roommate was a big cockroach. Fortunately, I'm not very afraid of them.... More

Stayed over a weekend in end October 2012. Stayed in the Deluxe room for 2 with free wifi. Wonderful experience to stay in an 1-room apartment unit in the middle of Ximen. Enjoy the center location and shopping, dining places nearby. Friendly staffs. Adaptors and towels are available for free but will require a small deposit.

A disappointing stay. This hostel is in a pretty good location in Ximen, close to the MRT and lots of shops and food. Most of the rooms have no windows and are really tiny. The walls are ridiculously thin & you hear EVERYTHING! Ppl talking, walking around, even urinating in the toilet. There is very little ventilation in the entire... More

There are 2 different locations for this hostel. I stayed in the main building where the dorms are. The ensuites that house more people are in another building. This review is for the dorm. I stayed for a week. Location: Fantastic location, minutes to XiMenDing. I walked around XiMenDing (for food, bookstore, shopping, bubble tea) so many times i felt... More

There were 9 of us in this trip. Thus, we took a 6-bed room and a 3-bed room. They have 2 different buildings. Our rooms were located in another building, about 10 minutes walk from the check in counter. The 6-bed room and 3 bed room although located in the same building, but it's not together. The 6-bed room has... More

We stayed in both the mixed dorm and the ensuite room. The hostel is located in an excellent location, just 2 minutes from Ximending. However, the staff were aloof and the rooms were definitely not in the best conditions. The dorm room was really cramp and tiny. We only occupied half the beds and there was hardly any space left...

No frills, great deal. Lovely staff, clean amenities - despite having to share toilet, awesome environment to be in. Taiwan in itself is a truly lovely place, hospitable and genuinely lovely people all around, Taipei, though a city is no different. What's best about this place is that it is located in the heart of Taipei, Xi Men Ding. Great... More

We initially chose this place due to the location factor, as it's near the Ximen MRT station and didn't really have much expectations on the cleanliness level. Boy oh boy, were we surprised! The beds (albeit not so comfy), were clean, bathrooms were clean, and they have a toiletries cabinet that we could use freely! The staff were super friendly... More
