The location is convenient to Taipei Train Station and the NTU Hospital station. The toilet is clean and tidy. It is a bit noisy for me as I can hear the hair-dryer roars quite loudly in the toilet in my room. Wifi connection is good, worth stay in this hotel but they do not have a lift so you may need to carry your luggage and climb up the stair while last time my floor is on the 4th floor.

I liked the hostel. Staff was helpful. They could write the name of the hostel in English letters outside. I passed it the first time.

The hostel is excellently located in relation to Taipei Main Station, however there is limited signage to mark the path towards the hostel and on the actual hostel itself. The only way I could find it were through two tiny "FFH" signs. The facilities were also slightly dated compared to the photos on the website, however, I am just being picky now and would highly recommned this hostel to anybody else mainly due to its proximity to Taipei Main Station and value for money.

The staff are just friendly and pleasant. I had a totally peaceful mind when I am resting in the lobby area.

I've stayed at a few hostels in Taipei and this one is the best. Very comfortable beds with reading lights. But the TV on the 3rd floor is impossible to use. Instructions, please!!!!

It damn close to the main station so in case youll be travelling a lot, it makes it convenient. The staff are super friendly, although i didnt get to interact with them a lot. The toliets are clean and the beds are comfortable.

Reservations had no problems. Easy to find, just make sure you look at the picture of what it looks like from the front. Great place to stay either for traveling around or if your in town for work. The spaces, scheduling and the staff are very flexible to adapt to different needs. Exception are smokers. Very tiny smoking area, fits about two people max.

The atmosphere is very good. Many travelling books are provided at the lobby. We lived in double room. It was a bit narrow and small. Some shower room drained water very slowly.

This is one of many returns to the hostel, and as usual my stay was excellent. Everything was clean, the service was friendly, and the company was awesome.

Very happy about having chosen this hostel. Conveniently located near Taipei Main Station is easy to get there by public transportation from the airport, no matter how late you arrive (this can be very troublesome in some cities that lack a good night transportation system). Additionally, the hostel is very clean and the staff are friendly Taiwanese youth with a great level of English. In the common room you will probably find people chatting, playing or simply having fun !

I had a really great time in Flip Flop Hostel. The staff are very kind and helpful, the room is very comfortable that I'm missing my bed, haha. I must definitely live in Flip Flop hostel when I go Taipei again. Thanks so much to giving me a wonderful Journey.
