It feels like home. Eight Elephants is everything anyone needs from a hostel. It's clean, affordable, a traveler's hot spot, and is located in one of the most active and hip spots in Taipei. The social aspect is one of the things that truly make this hostel great. The main room gets all the travelers to gather around and share their stories before it's time to head out to the museums, hot springs, bars, or other places to get into trouble.It feels like home.

They email me and told me that they could help me ask another Singaporean to fetch it back for me. I guess the Singaporean was willing to do it because he/she appreciated his/her stay at the hostel too. Ultimately, the location is about 3 minutes from GuTing Subway Station and about 3 s tations away from the main Xi Meng Ding area. ...Close
