Eight Elephants & Dreaming Dragon Hostel Reviews

Fantastic place for a hostel stay, nice staff and the nasty weather

Really nice and helpful staff

I really like this hostel from my heart, I must visit them when I will go to Taipei again. It should be my first choice if I would like to stay in Taipei

Eight elephants hostel is definitely a home away from your home..

Very kind people, very easy to meet other guys, was definitively my best hostel yet! thank you!!!

A good place to have a sleep

I had perfect stay at Eight Elephants: it was easy to find with the directions, the staff was very friendly, bathrooms spotless and beds comfy. The cosy living room made it easy to get to know other travelers and I had lot of fun. I would definitely recommend this place for everyone. Enjoy your trip!

One of the Best Places I've ever stayed. I was surprised to see the rooms getting much cleaner than the last time. Relaxing and friendly. You'll love this place.

Staff was really helpful and positive. Facilities were clean and modern. Location is central with convenient transportation. Would definitely stay here again.

Love this place. Very homey, comfy, safe, clean. Thanks Sara & Gina for everything! I appreciate the little snacks left on the living room table everyday too. I was allocated a room @ DD where it was little quiet but the living room @ EE (next door) is a great place to hangout. The toilet & shower room were a little small but still alright. Its about 5 mins walk from Guting station so it was very convenient. =) Walking distance to Shida Night Market.

is a comfortable and beautiful hostel :) hv fun in taiwan !

We were so lucky to find Eight Elephants -- everything about this place is cute, clean, and comfortable. The staff all speak English perfectly (Sara is from Santa Cruz, CA!) and are really helpful. We went out one night with the entire hostel to an underground dance club even! Our stay here made our entire trip special. Thank you Eight Elephants!

We had to cancel our last date and Sara was very accommodating to us. Location was excellent given its proximity to the night markets and food charts. I wished it could be easier to locate.

The people is really what made this stay superb. The hostel itself is cozy and intimate; very condusive to making friends! The staff are very helpful, and although the location is indeed "down an alley" (I believe a previous reviewer didn't like this), it is well-lit and in a very safe neighbourhood (not to mention that it's pretty safe in Taipei, and many residential entrances are down alleyways). Showers and toilets are always clean, and the couch is comfy enough to fall asleep on. :)

Nice and friendly place. Easy to get to from the public transportation but it is a bit hard to find it the first time. After that, all good. The bedroom is clean and the living space can take a little tidy up.

Staff are wonderful. Honestly they are delightful. It's so homely sometimes I didn't know who was staff or who was a guest. All had great stories or advice. I feel like I left a little family when I left Taipei. Great place to meet people and rooms were nice and clean!! Perfect hostel!!!

Uncontrolled volume ignored by staff in common room, sometimes generated by same. Loud talkers @ 5 am woke everyone in our room, but not the staff!

I enjoy the stay in EEH, 'cause the location is good and the staff is easygoing:)

what a fantastic hostel! the staff was so friendly, the location was very convenient, quite cheap, and the rooms were very clean as well. they even wrote me a handwritten note saying to contact them if they had any concerns. really a great place.

Great stay at Eight Elephants - clean, quiet, well-kept little hostel tucked off the main drag a bit, which I appreciated for the escape from the noise and general hubbub of the city. Good wifi service, small kitchen available, within 5 minutes of a subway station - all around I recommend it! My only point of concern was the questions about my arrival time - the website seemed to imply that unless I arrived exactly when planned I wouldn't be able to get in, which is definitely concerning.
