I recently had the pleasure of staying in the hostel and wanted to share my fantastic experience with fellow travelers. From the moment I stepped into the room, I knew I had found a cozy haven that surpassed all my expectations. The availability of reliable Wi-Fi ensured that I could stay connected with loved ones and share my travel experiences seamlessly. Additionally, the well-placed electrical outlets made charging my devices hassle-free.

None. The room was thoughtfully designed with both comfort and functionality in mind. The layout was efficient, making the most of the available space without feeling cramped. The bed was comfortable, providing a restful sleep after a long day of exploration. The linens were clean and fresh, giving me the feeling of being wrapped in a warm embrace.

The staff were all accommodating, nice and helpful. answered all my queries before arriving, helped us booked taxi service from the airport and going to the airport again. Booked our entire stay in Taipei here at backpackers hostel. .me and my son have our own room with private bathroom. Clean, well lit, AC temperature is just right. The place is really convenient, walking distance to Ximending shopping district and the train station. My son also loved it here. Hostel is complete with appliances at their lounge area. we got to hang out at the lounge every morning before we start our day. Eat bfast/lunch even dinner when we decided to buy food and just stay at the hostel. Will definitely booked backpackers again when I travel back to Taipei! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

A busy tourist area. Many, many shops and restaurants. Great local food restaurants and vendors!! Several cinemas close. Nice walks to the river, main station, and several big parks. Close to metro.

The facility has multiple floors and no elevator. The common area is the basement and there is no kitchen, only microwave and hot water. Small room, no room for luggage. The bottom beds were on the floor so not even storage under the bed.

Its cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere make it a comfortable choice for travelers seeking convenience and a pleasant stay.

While the lack of an elevator at this backpackers hostel can be inconvenient for those with heavy luggage, personally, I don't mind it at all. The hassle of navigating stairs is outweighed by other positive aspects, making it a manageable compromise for a short stay.

Excellent staff, very helpful. Clean and the SHOWER IS THE BEST IVE EVER HAD in my entire life! All Good, recommended highly. Location is exceptional.

A Little noise in the morning from the cleaner and also at night from guests walking up the stairs to their rooms, but they do give free earplugs and the noise is not a show stopper.

We booked the room to put our luggage and let the two grandfathers rest due to flight delays. The room was surprising clean, spacious and very comfortable to stay in! Very pleasant with the room they gave us - 4 person bunk bed. This allowed the grandmothers to go take a break too while we shop.

No lift.. so lugging the luggage up is quite a workout.

The location was very convenient. Each room had a private bathroom.

Room can be very tight if fully occupied by four people which makes it hard to place your luggage.

I love the fact we have our own bathroom and toilet in our own room. It's right in the famous shopping district of Ximending. Lots of fancy shops around, and the bars/clubs are just a few minutes walk. The neighborhood / alley is also quiet.

Nothing to dislike. I'll stay here again when I go back to Taipei.

I was very comfortable here. The atmosphere is very good with a downstairs area with a kitchen and washer machine. The location was very good and the staff was super nice. Especially the guy named Shoo, he gave us many recommendations and was very helpful. This was the cheapest hotel I could find and for the price it was amazing value. It felt clean and I felt at home.

Very nice option in Taipei, near the train station and MRT Ximen. The personnel are amazing, the girls are especially nice to us. The room and the bathroom are clean and comfortable.

Could be nice to put a little piece of furniture in the room.
