Room was clean and good location but very small. Hotel offers no tea or coffee just 2 bottles of water complimentary and 2 meal vouchers to eat at local merchants. Shared bathroom across the end of the hall so inconvenient. I don’t recommend this for senior travelers. Better to book with bathroom.

Overall, this hostel was very clean and well kept! The front desk was very friendly, and the breakfast meal vouchers had a lot of great local options nearby. Wifi was fast and reliable, and the common area is a great place to hang out with filtered water, coffee, and tea included. 10/10 would recommend staying here for a solo trip!

Second time stayed at this place. We had a different type of guest room for 4 travelers. Room was spacious enough to accommodate 4 adults and luggages. The room is clean and I think they have added more hooks and shelves for putting small things around the room.

The hotel is conveniently located right next to Taipei Main Station. I stayed in an 8-person shared room for a few hours due to a flight delay. However, if you are a light sleeper or have never stayed in a dormitory before, I would advise against the shared rooms. Guests come and go at different times, which can make it difficult to get any sleep.

In addition to being very clean, spacious, centrally located, vouchers are provided in lieu of breakfast to redeem from their partner eateries in the area. We thought of the vouchers as a brilliant idea. It eliminates the onset of boredom of same breakfast on your second morning. It added excitement to your day because of the variety served by the different partners from breakfast to lunch and Taiwanese dessert. Definitely a repeater when in Taipei again!

Staff were friendly and helpful, and the interior was new and comfortable. The common area is quite nice for hanging out/relaxing, and seems like it would serve for getting work done, too. Shower room is shared among all genders, although I noted that there was a women-only shower on the floor below, which would be good for those who want that. The storage space was on the smaller side, which was my main complaint.

Stayed here previously a few years ago and liked enough to stay again this trip. Spacious without feeling cramped but definitely need to take turns opening luggages when staying with friends (at least in the double and triple room). Staff were very friendly and helpful. Was allowed to leave our luggage overnight since my friend & I were going to return after a one night stay in Jiufen. Love the additional bathrooms & showers on almost every guest floor; the shared spaces are pretty clean. On property washer & dryer are a big plus as well. Great location as it is right by Taipei Station (HSR, MRT, local trains, and long-distance buses) and near multiple other subway lines within walking distance.
