Across the Ocean Reviews

really cool little hostel, easy to get to on the Dongmen mrt stop, tucked away in quiet backally. Clean comfortable place with friendly staff. Really liked the interior

The lady staff cnt communicate well in english, the toilet seem to be a bit dirty, the air condition work not well on the day that the room was fully book.

Very nice staffs, a secret hideout though it's located in the concrete forest. Downstairs is a cafe with nice environment too, the free breakfast is superb. I've only stayed with Across the Ocean for a day, what a pity.

Very friendly, nice, and helpful staff. Good location right next to subway, decently priced, sweet, cozy, peaceful, and comfortable character.

Strongly recommend this lovly hostel! For it's nice staff, good facility and wonderful location so close to MRT and famous tourist spot--National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. However, if having the bathrooms ventilated, it will be perfect! cause when i was showering, i almost can not breathe any more!

The staffs are lovely, friendly and willing to help. When I told them the drying machine was not working, one of them even initiated to bring me to the closest store for solution:) and the atmosphere is great, I had some really interesting conversations in the common area with other travellers. I will be there again if I'm coming to TP!!! :) Thanks

goode location, value for money,

Cafe at the ground floor was good and the staffs were friendly and helpful. Cleanliness of the hostel can be improved. Hostel can look into the mosquito issue as on some nights, it can get really irritating while you are trying to sleep.

The atmosphere is really nice and you can spend good time chilling out in the little cafe downstairs. However, there are many mosquitoes in the room and that's quite disturbing.

It is a very great deal in the city of Taipei. The location is good, where near the mrt station, close to many great restaurants. The cafe downstairs is lovely, it was unfortunately that we did not spend time there...The hostel itself is great too...

It's right in the opposite of Yong Kang Jei (永康街) which is the best street with Taiwan snacks & food (鼎泰豐，度小月), small shops and cooking class, cafe, bar, Japanese food by Japanese..... you name it, they got it. Just 1 min walk from Tong Men (東門) station, with post office on the right, 7-elevn at the back and a stationery shop on the left, if you love books like me, packing it and post back to home is just soooooooooo convenient. with 5 mins walk, you can reach Dai Ang forest park.

Great hostel, near a busy morning market and very close to the metro station. Nice place to relax downstairs. Highly recommended.

Awesome place to stay with a great vibe and a friendly team of staff. Yummy food with really good coffee and drinks too. Thanks

The staffs arr very kind and the environment is very lovely!

Nice location, friendly staff

Supreme atmosphere, very easy to reach by MRT, great value for money!!

I will go back again.

Perfect place to stay! Very convenient and the staff are really nice! Totally worth it.

The location is good and I love the theme of the hostel. BUT, the toilet is very horrible. It is too small, dirty and smelly. I know this hostel promotes eco-awareness but it surprises me that there is always no toilet paper supplied here. The area outside the bathroom is always wet as well. It is stated that hot water shower is only available before 12, which is just like curfew in winter. The staff is not helpful and friendly.

Shower and toilet facilities were extremely rundown. Rooms were small and walls very thin. Hence, noise tend to travel. Hostel staff were extremely friendly, obliging and conversational. The ground level of the hostel is a really cozy cafe obviously run by book lovers for book lovers.
