Eight Elephants & Dreaming Dragon Hostel Reviews

Some more cleaning of shared stuff would be welcome (e.g. keyboard, tables, sinks). Very helpful staff

Very clean. Good place to make new friends. Very friendly staff too!

Great atmosphere. Would stay there again the next time I come to Taipei.

Everything about Eight Elephants (and Dreaming Dragon) is outstanding. It's in a very convenient location, close to everything, perfectly clean and comfortable, the staff is always helpful, and it's set up so that you can meet other people who stay there. It's like my home away from home, I have been to Taipei many times and I always stay there.

First time to stay in hostel in Taipei, it's a very very nice experience. The location is very good and the host is very helpful and nice. For sure I will stay again !!!!

The place and staff are very charming. I enjoyed my time there, spend almost 2 weeks at the hostel. The common area was great and you always found a seat, the feeling is more like a big living room. Some said its not great to meet local people in the common room. I especially enjoyed that, than can give you more tips where to go. I recommend this hostel to everyone who like to hang out with foreigners and locals alike.

i'm sure ee hostel is one of the best hostels in taiwan. i will definitely choose here if i have any chance to visit taiwan again.

A great place to stay on the social end of hostel living. They have nice common space and a really friendly staff who make it a fun and open environment. One note: not a great place for early risers. The 7 person dorm rooms have all natural light blocked out which is great if you want to sleep off a night at the bars but not ideal if you're hoping to get yourself up at a decent hour to explore the city. Still, all in all a great place.

EE DD is an excellent hostel - clean, comfortable, safe, very friendly yet professional staff, great location.

Extremely Lovely and clean hostel! 5 mins from MRT Station and friendly staff & other guest. If you are the hostel people and if you like to meet new friends, I highly recommend this EE hostel!

Had a great stay at Eight Elephants. Would definitely return, the staff and atmosphere make this place great.

Stayed at both EE and DD during a 10 day trip to Taipei. In the middle of the week I had to shift over to another Hostel because all the rooms were booked. The difference between the two were night and day. Eight Elephants is truly one of the best hostels I have stayed at. Gina & Sara are amazing and you feel at home the second you walk in. Staying here will make your experience in Taipei a whole lot more memorable - so just book it & don't think twice.

The staff are very nice,it is very amazing to accept a little welcome gift. The environment is clean and warm,I will book this hotel again if I go to Taiwan next time.

Very good, good vibe.

Very nice hostel located close to the MRT Station. The staff is very friendly and the facilites are clean. You get a free locker and all the information about taiwan you need.

Great hostel! I had a lovely stay! Very friendly and helpful staff and an nice and cosy atmosphere overall.

it's my first hostel in my lifetime.it's really an excellent hostel.it's so fantastic that i thought almost all the hostel are like here.But indeed,it's the best one i ever lived in Taiwan.

This hostel rocks. There are only a few hostels that have such a great social atmosphere, this one takes the cake for all of Asia. The choice is yours, if you want to be social, stay in the dorms (Eight Elephants). If you want to have more privacy, stay in the single bedrooms (Dreaming Dragon). Tip: You can stay in Dreaming Dragon and still hang out with the other travelers in Eight Elephants, this is a duplex building and you have access to both dwellings.

Second time at the hostel - the strength of the hostel is that it is great for its location, value, and people that just come through there. My gripe concerns cleanliness - I think there was either a) mosquito problem or more likely b) a bed bug / flea issue. Both nights there I ended up with bites up my legs, arms and hands. The comforter and bed sheets were slightly damp when I got there which may have been the cause.

Sara [the owner] and her staff inc. Dolly and John were more than welcoming and the atmosphere at Eight Elephants made it the best out of the hostels I stayed at during my trip to Taiwan.
