This was my second time for staying here, and this place is still the best hostel for me. Excellent staff, this time we came in family group, one of kid is allergic to nuts, so I ask the staff about the composition of breakfast multigrains bread. One of the staff wasn’t sure, so he checked from recipe and ingredient sheets, Finally there were almonds contained. He made new white bread for her. So appreciated and thanks a lot, so I didn’t inject Adrenaline for her.

I had an amazing stay here and would definitely love to come back again! It's in a great location, just a few minutes' walk from Taipei main station and the underground mall! The facilities are clean, and the bed is comfortable, with a curtain that keeps you private! The atmosphere is good, and the people and staff are nice. And the breakfast is delicious!

Very clean hostel with great facilities and nice staff. Not social at all really, lots of families and older travellers. The breakfast is nice but the portions are limited. Convenient from the train. But expensive for what it is I think.
