A very good place to stay. It is very central, good if you just arrived in Taiwan. The staff are very helpful, and the rooms are fine. MRT is close by and good food places around there. If you are looking for a place to stay, try the Happy Family.

Stupendous location. Comfy beds. Was able to feel secure about leaving my bags there. A decent atmosphere up in the TV room. Mr.Lee was very helpful when I needed some help finding my way.

Considering the location good price and nice owner.there is basically everything you need,in a rustic way.just keep in mind you could look like after a fight with mike tyson after waking up in the morning because of the combination of mosquitos and bloody bedbugs.

Location is excellent, and the staff is helpful too. However, the hostel cleaningness and atmosphere need to enhance, and suggest to renovate the hostel as the toilet and bathroom is not very clean.

The owner was very helpful, friendly, and warm, but after arriving and paying, I was led up to my room which was "basic" at best. And the main area was under remodel, so was a complete disaster and filthy.

Great Hostel, excellent location, some rooms were being renovated when I visited but the place was great nonetheless. Highly recommended

I read some reviews about the place not being clean, but I didn't have that problem. If you're used to Taiwanese living standard and not the fancy hotel standards, the hostel is not bad at all! Along with the low prices, the excellent location and a manager who's very eager to improve his English, I can't think of anything to complain.

You get what you pay for. It's not expensive, but the hostel itself isn't a place I would want to spend much time. It had hot water, beds with clean sheets and the staff were nice.
