Comments: the youth hostel in taipei on the 13rd floor near the train station was easy to find.but the rooms on the floor and the shower rooms was too far away and small..at day time it looks cleaner...at night you will see al the flying insects / bugs running everywhere. and you don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t have privacy between the beds.

Comments: The locker fee is very expensive. And when I read the facilities of the hostel, it said 'luggage storage', I suppose it is free of charge. To avoid further misunderstanding, please also add the charge for this service.

Comments: The location of the hostel was excellent, and easy to find. The rooms were clean, and all the facilities available were excellent. However, the atmosphere of the hostel left something to be desired. It was a nice place to sleep during a stay in Taipei.

Comments: SUPER CONVENIENT LOCATION BUT SINCE ITS ROOMS ARE LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE FLOOR(ALONG A RETANGULAR CORRIDOR), IT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR SOMEONE WHO ARE SEEKING FOR HOME AWAY HOME STYLRE.

Comments: This hostel is inconveniently located. It is located near the bus stop to the airport, but otherwise, it is a fifteen minute walk to the nearest MRT station (which is the easiest method of transportation for non-Mandarin speakers). The hostel was very clean and the owner was very helpful. However, the mattresses were very thin and not very comfortable.

Comments: The hostel was safe, had a good location, but they gave one price on the website and a different one in person. If you have the travel card it is a cheap stay, but if you don't, it is comparable to other hostels in the area.They were just shady with their prices even the guy working there said so, but his boss did not change the rates on the internet and nothing was to be done.

Comments: This was probably one of the best hostels ive been to. The staff is great and very helpful, the location--couldn't have asked for a better location (literally in front of the subway, train station and bus station). Overall, very pleasant experience, although the price was higher than most, but its worth the price.

Comments: I would recommend this hostel over the others I visited in Taipei, but I wish they could up their security and get a more knowledgable staff. The front desk is actually all the way in the back of the building, so just anyone can wonder in without being checked. The location, cleanliness and community atmosphere make it a great choice however!

Comments: The location is superb! The rooms are good but if you opt for the traditional room, please be aware that it is between the reception and the girl's bathroom, which means you will get no sleep until at least 2am or later. Otherwise, good choice.

Comments: It is a fun place. They have a small lounge area, but for some reason it "closes" at 2 AM. It seemed a bit strange, since it is an open area and there is a staff person inside the office 24 hours. It was a bit unfortunate because we had met some interesting people and were kicked out, even though we could just as easily have continued sitting there and it wouldn't have been a bother to anyone. Overall, it is an decent place.

Comments: The dorm rooms have expensive security doors that almost nobody bothers to lock and the lockers inside the rooms are so flimsy a six-year-old could rip them open.
