Old Door Hostel

Located right above Taipei Main Station and Taoyuan Airport Metro outside of Y13 exit. Helpful staff, clean queen size beds and room. Separate Ladies only floor. Lift inside building. Cool hang out bar and barista area. Small safe for personal belongings.

Open space within inside room dorm to keep cabin bag luggage. Better to keep large suitcases in the ground/1st floor storage room. Have more Signages to say KEEP QUIET after 11.00pm as foreigners like to make lots of packing noises even after midnight.

Free breakfast is included with booking, and freshly cooked for you. The bunk bed was so clean and outlet is available. You can rent towels if you weren't able to bring one. I love the toiletries in the wash room. Body wash, shampoo, blower, facial wash, tissue, whole body mirror and a big container for trash are all available. I just bought toothbrush, that's it. You can go and leave anytime you want!

Nothing.

This was one of the best hostels I ever stayed at! The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. The rooms are nice and even if there are 6 people in one room it was very quiet and you had a lot of privacy. Overall the hostel was extremely clean and had a nice atmosphere due to the bar downstairs (closed during night so not disturbing). The breakfast was also very good!

The place is CLEAN. Very female friendly, bed units are spacious so you actually have space to unpack your bag or change your clothe with intimacy, I even had a window is my bed unit

if you're on the bottom bed there's a little gap between the top bed and your curtain, so tall people can peek on you when they pass by.

The most comfortable bed I ever had in a hostel, blanket also really nice. It's like a capsule but each capsule is like a mini room. Very friendly and helpful staff Freshly made breakfast included Located right at taipei main station

Only one shower for the people in the dorm.

The location is phenomenal - so central and easily walkable from the main train and bus stations. Extremely easy to get to from the airport and the area is super nice and walkable. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The bed was great and felt private. The staff was kind and the communal space was nice. Breakfast is nice, albeit with a limited selection to choose from.

Wish there'd been larger lockers (for laptops and other larger items), not just a small safe by the bed.

The hostel location is really accessible. It’s nearby the train station, night markets and stores. And there’s a bar downstairs if you want to have a drink. The staff were all friendly and helpful especially Yaya and Alice. They helped me with directions if I want to go somewhere I’m not familiar with. Also, the place is very clean including the bathrooms. Facilities were complete— toiletries (shampoo, shower gel, make up remover, sunblock, etc.) laundry and drying area, wifi on each floors and hair straightener and dryers are available. They also gave me a free cake when they found out from my passport that it was my birthday 🥰

Food and beverages were a bit expensive but you can always buy from outside and eat it in the common area.

Hostel truly stands out for its fantastic amenities and location. A major highlight is the hostel’s bar, a paradise for whisky enthusiasts, offering an impressive selection of different whiskies that cater to all tastes. Guests can start their day off right with a good breakfast. Location is another significant advantage; situated close to the main station, Hostel provides easy access to public transport and the city’s attractions, making exploration a breeze. Moreover, cleanliness is a priority here, with the hostel maintaining very high standards of hygiene throughout the facility, ensuring a comfortable and sanitary stay for all guests.

there are a couple of drawbacks to consider. The hostel has only one shower, which can lead to waiting times during peak periods. This could be inconvenient for those with a tight schedule or those who value privacy and speed when getting ready. Additionally, the design of the bunk beds may pose a privacy issue for those sleeping on the lower beds; individuals on the upper bunk can easily see down, which might be uncomfortable for some guests. This design oversight could impact the privacy and overall comfort of the stay, especially for those who prefer more personal space.

Old door Hostel is conveniently located by the Taipei main station and in a very walkable part of the city. The room was very comfy and the beds were spacious and cosy. The bathrooms were as clean as you can get and there's a kitchen/common room with fridge, microwave etc. to prepare food if you want. Ximending is only a 10-15min walk from there. Downstairs in the cafe/entrance you can get free breakfast each morning which is chocolate toast and omelette and tea/coffee. Staff were really nice and friendly.

The location is amazing and the atmosphere is great too. The bed is comfy and clean. The staff are very gentle and easy to communicate with. I loved the breakfast too, which is included in the stay!

I stayed only one night and noticed there was no toilet paper at the 4th floor in two different toilets. The room was too hot when I arrived, but the staff managed to fix it as soon as they could. I did 15 minutes late check out and had to pay 100, which is understandable, just feel like it would be better if informed advance, a sign at the front desk would be helpful. Some hostels are more flexible about a few minutes delaying, but I understand guests should respect the rules, just believe that it should be more clear when it involve paying a penalty. Thank you 😀
