Reviews

• great place at amazing location – Dieu from Germany (9/10)

  the hostel is really clean, even the shared areas like bathrooms were always squeaky clean. The sleeping beds in dorms are very comfortable, you have your own light, space to keep stuff and curtain, and also a locker that you can open with your keycard so no lock needed. The common area is beautiful and very clean also.

  Convenient as it was a short walk to Taipei main station (for both HSR and metro) and has a 7-11 right downstairs. Room was modern and clean, bed was comfortable. Common area was well maintained and nice to relax in. Had a great stay, and will return when I next come to Taipei! 😊

• Great place to unwind and rejuvenate after a long day out and about in Taipei. – Ivan from Singapore (9/10)

  The place felt brand new and clean, and the amenities were great. Location was near Taipei Main Station, though the eateries nearby weren’t the best.
