小角落Corner Hostel & Cafe

Very clean, quiet so a good night sleep (it’s quiet from 10pm in the rooms 😊), a nice chill out cafe on the ground floor and another room on the first floor which is easier to work as it’s quieter, good WiFi, friendly staff, 3 cats (they are very shy) and the odd dog which comes into the cafe 😊, very friendly staff, free water refills, Very good price and decent location with 7-11 and the MRT close

The hostel is quiet hot during the day and you pay for towel hire (may be that’s normal in Taiwan, all other other countries normally they are provided)

The bed was comfortable and it was convenient to have the lockers near the beds. The common area was spacious and nice.

The temperature in the rooms was a little too hot. The bathrooms seemed slightly cramped and there were limited shower stalls.

Great beds, bedding (possibly the best mattress, duvet and pillow ever!), fantastic layout and lots of different spaces for mixing up your work/social interactions. Very clean, staff super friendly and helpful. Generally ok WiFi. Good availability of drinking water and an absolutely lovely cafe downstairs (all shared spaces were fantastic). Lots of natural light, the bed bunks were private, and some, like mine, had the locker adjacent to the bed so you could access everything in private (if you travel with a small bag).

Sadly it’s on a busy road and has both overground mtrs and planes passing by super close. The noise was significant, but not too bad compared to the perks, and you get used to it. More of a downside was the air pollution from the heavy traffic, and no proper air filter system present (yet!). There is also no real kitchen though there’s a microwave, and fridge and freezer so you can get by. Even so, I decided the perks were good enough, and the staff amazing enough, to return for a long stay after my first, but just be aware!

The cleanliness and vibe are great, and the location which gives easy access to green, commute (MRT is only five min walk away, and it's a comfy walk) shops and eateries. It's surprisingly serene and unlike the hostels in the CBD this one's not bustling at all. The cafe downstairs is another surprise, it gives a great vibe and discount. Cats and dog are friendly and unbothering. I sat there to work for an afternoon and I was liking it. I could see green and people occasionally walking by, soothing. Staff is helpful and great in general. The interior is chic in design and absolutely clean. Cafe area is a free space where takein food and beverage are allowed post-five in the evening. There's a comfy and spacious public area in the second floor which is altered from an old accommodation area. Toilet and shower room are clean. Shampoo and washer are provided. Stable wifi connection included. What's most satisfying is the rooftop with an open terrace and the table and a few seats, where you can enjoy your time with a great view, covering greens and cool undermetro walk, with majestic mountains on the far left. It's also the social area where you can meet a lot of cool ppl and international travelers. I met a lot of cool friends and we had a great night together drinking snacking, laughing and chatting. And the whole stay was in reasonable price. All in all, it was a 10 out of 10 experience, coming from a seasoned international backpacker.

My toothbrush and paste along with the cup while lost because I left it on the public rack by the toilet. There was no sign saying I shouldn't put it there and I saw other personal objects on it but they were gone overnight. But I know the same stuff who did the cleaning who helped me retrieve my lost phone n wallet so it could have been my mistake.

The staff were super nice, friendly and speak English. Convenient location next to MRT station. Comfortable beds. Spacious lounge area on top floor. The cafe occupies all of 1F and part of 2F. It was nice that guests can sit in the 2F area of the cafe during the evening but during the day it is only for cafe customers. There were pet cats and dog in the 1F area, just take note if you do not like animals. A previous review in 2021 mentioned a full kitchen, however I only saw a microwave. Crockery and cutlery provided. Lockers available. Coin-operated (60TWD each) washing machine + dryer and clothes drying area upstairs.

As per other reviews, it is located on the corner of a busy intersection and near the airport so unfortunately there is quite a lot of road traffic as well as air traffic noise. Not too bad overnight, still managed to sleep well. No footwear allowed in the dorm rooms - even the indoor slippers provided are not allowed in the rooms. Considering there is a cafe downstairs, it would have been a nice bonus to offer complimentary coffee and tea to hostel guests.

Great hostel near Yuanshan station (red line). The beds seem overly firm but they're comfortable. There's a laundry machine and the internet is great. I'd stay again! The hostel is quieter and less busy than the more central hostels (near Taipei main station). It's close to the Taiwan Expo which always has some interesting event.

There aren't as many great vegetarian/vegan restaurants nearby and I found it hard to find healthier options. The hostel does not have a food waste bin.

The location is pretty good, there's restaurants, convenience stores, bus and MRT station at a walking distance. The bunk/pods were very comfortable.

There is no elevator on site and you may get assigned a room at the 4th floor (people with suitcases beware). 5th floor is a lounge space. They provide slippers and pretty much all guests left them on the floor outside of the room. It made it a little messy, to have to navigate between all of them to enter the room. The AC wasn't strong enough sometimes.

Location near metro line. Comfy beds and generally clean facilities.

When I walked into the dorm I was greeted with the sight of two French youths jumping around the room in skimpy boxer shorts whipping each other with towels and squealing like pigs. If that's the calibre of young man that France is producing then someone needs to tap Macron on the shoulder and have a quiet word. Remember, these guys also form part of NATO. No towel included in room fee and cash only in cafe downstairs.

I just spent one night there, so cannot really judge everything. I chose it because it takes 1 hour to reach the airport from there (bus 1841), which is convenient especially for early flights. I just can say that the staff was really friendly and the bed was comfortable.

The people in the room were making sounds even after midnight. There should be a rule for quiet hours. Also, did not find a water dispenser, so had to buy water, which I usually don't.

This is how you wish a hostel inside a big city to be: Modern Clean Well designed Comfortable I loved the comfortable beds which are super silent and the real bedding like in a hotel. Mattresses also really good. I've stayed in several hostels in Taipei and this one is by far the best. Others are designed to squeeze out as much money as possible from travelers and I fell like this one is the opposite: they really want you to have an awesome stay ! Highly recommend !
