Staffs are very nice. They helped to carry the luggage and offered some suggestions on our trip. The hostel is quiet as it's on ninth floor. The toilet is quite clean. It's better to put one or two desks in the bedroom to put personal belongings.

There isn't much to say about that hostel except that it is in a really good location. You go there to sleep and that's it.

I only stayed here for a night. We had a room with bunk beds and it was simple but cheap and clean!

The Hostel located in central area of Taipei. You can walk from Taipei main station to Hostel. Staff was kind and friendly, but they are not stay there all the time. Easy to find the place. There are few guests and hard to find more people. Good for budget travelers. 安いところとしていい場所です。町の中心にある便利なところです。トイレはまあまあきれいと言える。台北駅からすぐ近くにあるので地下鉄や新幹線、高速バスに乗りやすい。

The worst ever. Stayed in private ensuite. I now know that why this hostel is cheap. If you mind nothing, choose this one. Waited for staff almost an hour to check in. Water leaks with high noise. Dirty room.

We like the hostel and the service and I really appreciate the hostel for advising us to take bus from airport to the hostel as it has saved us a lot of money taking the bus from the airport to town as we are not really aware as first timer to Taiwan that taxi could be f*cking expensive. The boss is nice and flexible and willing to fetch us in the middle of the night, and I think the hostel is expanding so they'll have more rooms to accommodate you in the future.

Close to train station,long distance bus station(台北转运站) and subway, it is easy to get to any place in Taiwan. The room is simple and have no decoration. The boss is from Maxican and very friendly. When I get there the room is full so the staff lead me to another place. It is about 2min walk.

The hostel has more than one branch; normally you will be directed to the main branch where you will be re-directed to an.other premises ( on foot, five minutes walk). It is close to Zhong Shan and Taipei train station/ MTR ( underground) Actually you can walk on the underground road all the way from Taipei station to Zhong Shan station. The hostel may be understaffed; often noone is in the hostel; you need to call the manager/owner.One needs to drop keys on the keys unattended.
