Dear Heiko, Thanks a lot. See you. Taipei Traveler Hostel

The hostel is in a GREAT location - you can see the building from Taipei Main Station, and it's across the street from the Bus Terminal (meaning, it was very easy to catch an early morning bus back to Taoyuan International Airport in the morning). Plus, the lower floors of the building are a mall, so on those bad weather days, you can still find lots of things to do. Definitely a plus on location.

location is excellent, just opposite from taipei main station. so it's easy to get there from the airport and the emtro takes you to all the sights. bathrooms were very clean. the lady at the reception was nice and helpful.

A bit pricey honestly. Could do cheaper rates. Rooms otherwise comfortably sized. Staff helpful enough, speak adequate English

Great location. Clean. Nice staff. A bit noisy, and there\'s only two bathrooms so I always had to wait in the morning or night. Other than that its average.

The location is perfect, easy to get to MRT, Trian Station and also buses to airport. Excellent! But, they only have a small locker , can\'t put in my backpack... anyway, it\'s nice!

The bed reservation was confused so I had someone in my bed the second night. The bed is not very clean (adding a sheet is still kind of dirty). The room is disorganized and too packed. The staff was very friendly and since they don't accept credit cards let me pay the balance the next day after checking in.

Both senior and young lady staffs are very nice and helpful, specially the young lady staff. She responded to our complaint that no hanger and vaccum flask in our room and solved them right away while we were out for shopping. Indeed, we will back to this hostel if in Taipei...

Not the most professional, but funny & charming hostel. Right next to the main train station and MRT lines.

I liked the owner but the older lady was kind of mean, it is too bad because the rest of the staff was very helpful.

Room is on different floor from the receptionist. Linen and towels have to get from the counter. Since the room we have stayed is on 20th floor so quite troublesome to have coffee or breakfast. The good thing about the hostel is the strategic location opposite the Taipei MRT station and Airport Bus Terminal.

The convenience of the location is excellent, especially since I have an early morning flight to catch and the airport shuttle is close by. The staff is very friendly and the place is relatively clean. My only qualm is that the wall is literally a thin plank of wood and i can hear every word of my next door neighbour, which kept me awake. Thanks heaven for ipod then. If what you need is a simple place to crash for the night, and you don't plan to retire early, this is not a bad choice.
