Nice and helpful staff Excellent location, suitable for backpackers (convenient to travel around) Clean environment and good facilities Though the room is a little bit small, there is a very large common area for you to relax or surf the net

We had a wonderful stay at FFH, if only it were longer. Was slightly disappointed that I was unable to rent a towel - they were all loaned out already. Perhaps maybe stock a couple more for the odd time that all the guests forget their towels? But other than that, wonderful place. Will definitely be back! Such a cosy place and has a homely feel to it!

I love this hostel! One of the best! It's very clean and comfortable. The staff is sweet and cute. And the location is very convenient. Just a 10 minutes walk from Taipei Main Station. Overall, it's a very nice hostel.

- Fine for the place - actually it is quite surprise that they owned a building in Taipei city... - The rooms have very thin walls, every movement of the next room and also the bathroom could be heard very very clearly. - Mattress is a potential issue, too soft and actually it is worse than a normal sofa...

The place was extremely clean - a lot of that probably has to do with not wearing shoes after you go up into the hostel. The beds were a bit uncomfortble for me - they were memory foam matteesses that sank too much - I felt like I was sleeping on the planks of wood below.

The staff are very helpful and the atmosphere is very relaxed and calm. The espresso machine is a real plus. Also, the pillows are super comfy. I wish I could pay them for one and take it home with me. Cheers!

I thought Flip Flop Hostel was amazing... the cleanliness, ambience, location and bedding were all on the superior standard. If I ever visit Taipei again I'll definitely stay here again! Only down side is, my deposit hasn't been returned for the multicountry-plug I loaned. Since I had to leave early on the day of departure and FFH doesn't have a 24-hour reception desk, the arrangement I made with the staff who checked me in was not completed.

Owner Comment (Show)
Thanks for the review. We're glad that you has a nice stay here, and willing to stay here next time. We're really sorry about that our staff forgot to leave the deposit to you as we promised. Actually, our staff has made a note in the system to notice other staff that remember to return the deposit to you, but she forgot that we won't see the note before you check out. We'll ask our staffs be more caution in this situation. Beside making a note, we'll notice other staffs by mail, and everyone will know the arrangement. And as your suggestion, we'll deduct the deposit from the room fee while you come next time . Thanks for your kindness and understanding, hope can see you soon!
