Taipei BackPackers Reviews

Close to the metro which is useful because there is not much to do in the area around the hostel. Everything closes early but there are some cool restaurants open during the day.

Staff was great, one of the guys was very friendly and very helpful. Rooms are small with shitty sound insulation, but who cares no one is singing so its alright. The place is very clean and they have hairdryers which is nice as well as some minor hygiene things to use. Great location with a good breakfast place right next door too.

It's a famous hostel, I see why. The location is perfect and I found everything good: staff, rooms and so on. If I will o back to Taipei I'll go there for sure

Poor living environment, we ordered twice bed but eventually given a double beds. Compact living environment makes me feel like we are slaves.

The toilets smells because they are tiny and lack ventilation. U need to stand on stool to shower as the cubicle would flood. Somehow the whole place seems like a maze. It looks like they are trying to squeeze as many rooms/facilities as they can in whatever space they had. Although Safety is excellent with the electronic and key locks with lockers. The walls are especially thin and u could hear the reception perpetually. This hostel is more suited for communal living as a big group.

The hostel was in a great location around Ximen Station. The walls are a bit then, but the accommodations are decent. There are only two showers for everyone to share, but this didn\'t pose much of a problem. The smoking area is in the kitchen—which I didn\'t really like.
