I liked my stay at Dumbo Hostel. The showers were clean, toilets were fairly clean. I didnt get given a pillowcase with my bedding - wasnt sure if it was a mistake but i brought my own pillowcase anyway luckily. I stayed in a 6 bed female dorm and the beds were super creeky even with earplugs in. However the location of the hostel was really good and the social atmosphere was good too. Pheobe was very friendly and kind. I would reccomend for 1-2 nights max.

I had an amazing stay at Dumbo! Phoebe and Jeremy are incredibly kind and patient. They always helped with any questions and gave super useful local tips. It’s true the night market is a bit far, but the train station is just a few minutes away, which was way more convenient for me. Everything was clean, and the breakfast was honestly the best I’ve had in hostels in Taiwan, especially the scallion pancake! I’ll definitely come back when I’m in Hualien again.
