Cute, an easy walking distance to great restaurants around the Taipower Station, quiet. The walls seemed thin but it was a comfortable night's sleep. Everything was quite new and clean. Good shower. Cute dog, nice lounge upstairs, aircon.

The hostel itself is good and also clean, the location also pretty good, easy to find and very near from MRT station. But what so unfortunate is no staffs around. Sometimes guest want to talk and have a small chit chat in common room and ask regarding what happening in city. But no one's around in the hostel. If you looking for place just for sleep and take a bath, then this hostel is fit for you.

It was a great hostel in the convenient location near Shida Night Market. Staff was also very nice and hospitable. My only complaint is the mattress was too thin. If they got thicker mattresses I would give them 100%.

It's a great place to start tours through the town. The room was a bit small for four people but still ok.

My friend and I stayed here for one night. All in all it was a good hostel with a great location. Less than 5 minutes from the station and very easy to find. The showers and bathrooms were separate which was also good. Bed was a little hard but would definitely stay here again. Location is extremely convenient.

Very small but nice hostel. Cheap but it is clean and really friendly and it feels like you're at home. Nothing luxurious but that is why it is kept really cheap. I love the neighbourhood as well.

The hostel staff is extremely helpful and welcoming, and it is easy to feel right at home. The community room upstairs is a great place to relax and meet new friends, and find cool things to do in the area. Everything is clean. The rooms are small, but if all you need is a bed, they are perfect. I've greatly enjoyed my stay and would recommend this place to anyone

The only thing I can fault were the matresses. They were very thin which, I can imagine for a longer stay, would get very uncomfortable. Otherwise, everything was amazing. I could not have asked for more. An amazing common area, free washing machine, free toast and jam, clean toilets and showers and seriously helpful staff. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

The entire staff is incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay.The hostel is incredibly clean, and very comfortable to stay in. Ended up staying for 2 weeks as I was trying to find a place to live permanetly in, which the entire staff was helping me out with . Not to mention offering great advice on places to eat and sights to see, and being very generous with things to share like food and drink. Highly recommend staying here. Also Mimi is one of the cutest dogs ever.

Very nice hostel, stayed here for a couple of nights and staff was very friendly and helpfull. It is not very big so it can be a little quiet, depending on your taste that can be a good thing. Place is easy to find, if you exit metro 4 keep to the right and follow the corner the door is small with a little parachute sign on it just past a cafe.

The communal area upstairs was absolutely heaven. Really made me feel at home! The computer was the quickest I have used at a hostel too. The staff were friendly and was nice to have an animal in the hostel too. Katie was extra friendly (and very pretty)! The bathroom was in the corridor which was annoying as could hear people drying their hair very late at night/morning. Also the bed was uncomfortable so I slept badly. A shame as the hostel was great til I tried to sleep! P.s good cafe too!

Nice staff, cute dog, gd to hv toilet and bathroom separated, clean and quite comfortable, convenient location, though I entered wrongly to beside coffee shop, the door is not easy to find. Pillow and bed seem too soft, but its ok for me. Hot water not stable enough and without the elevator maybe not suitable for those with heavy luggage.
