Please on some lights in the common area including staircase, it was dim when I was there. Location is great and price is very reasonable.

The only okay part was the place closed to Taipei Main Station. The door to my room was somewhat loose, place was old. The first thing I notice when I got into room was the bed/pillow got lots of hairs/stains. Outlet was different from America type, so couldn't plug and access my laptop. Luckily, I stayed only 1 day. No telephone to call main office; main office was on the other side of the building, which needs to walked out of one side, and walked to the other side, so back and forth walk need

Third time I have stayed here. It is very simple and clean. You might get a TV in some other places at a similar cost. But I'm not interested. WiFi can be a bit weak sometimes, but one of the two channels is always there. My comments about the rooms are "in need of repainting but very clean". Simple clean and you will never miss a train or bus because the stations are a three minute walk from the front door along with all the food shops in the B2 level of the Q-Centre. Washing Machine!

The place is very near to Taipei Main Station & Bus Station. very convenient. Good value for money. The people in-charge is very freindly and helpful. Though my stay in Taipei is short, I will surely go back again the next time i visit Taipei.

John was very friendly and the fellow travelers that I can into contact with were also quite nice, but the room was sorely lacking. We were a little worried about bed bugs, and the bathroom was in a shambles. However, for the price, I really cannot complain too much.

This is one of the cheapest hostels in Taipei. When I arrived I wrote to my friends on facebook to say "everthing is a little tired or worn out but it is very very clean. I found people friendly. If you can't handle traffic noise I would suggest stay somewhere else. The windows are double which keeps the worst of the noise out. Free washing machine, internet with two connections, TV in the common room and a couple of minutes walk to the MRT/Normal Station/High Speed Rail/Buses.

This is prolly the nearest hostel to the Taipei Main Station. The place lacks character but is made up by helpful owner/manager. They are willing to lend out towels and power point adapters when other hostels usually charge you for it. The room(private)/bathroom can be a lil bit run down but generally clean. An excellent choice if location is your priority.

It is located near Taipei Main Station, so it is very convenient for transport of other area. Like other hostels in Taipei, it is old and defunt. Many Facilities are out of order. Only recommanded to who has small budge and wants to stay near train station.

I like the hostel, but the bed mat is thin and not comfortable. There was no towel to take shower. I wish there was a dressing space or laundry basket near the shower room.
