What's nearby

  • Q Square mall-- not exactly a tourist destination (there are many malls in Taipei) but it's a nice mall located close to Taipei Main station (Metro/MRT) if you're looking to escape the heat. Huge food courts here too with lots of options (and obviously shopping). This mall also has a movie theatre, which shows mostly American movies (but cheaper). It's also about a 10-15 walk to the historic Dihua street, one of the oldest areas of the city which was once the main market area (still lots of interesting shops there that cater to the local...good photo opps too with some older buildings)

Super convenient to get to (you get out from the station exit and it's right there). At check-in, the staff members were also very friendly. Besides rooms on the upper floors, the ground floor is a bar/cafe and I loved seeing the whiskey bottles adorning the shelves. Warm showers, hair dryers and decent room capsules.

I recently stayed at this lovely accommodation and had an outstanding experience. What stood out the most was not just the warm hospitality, but the incredible convenience of its location. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, always ready to assist with a smile. They went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable, offering great local tips and ensuring I had everything I needed. What truly made this place stand out was its easy access to public transport. It was just a short walk to the nearest MRT station and bus stop, making it incredibly convenient to explore the city. Whether you’re heading to popular attractions or simply commuting, the connectivity is unbeatable. The nearby amenities were also excellent, with plenty of dining options, shops, Night Market and even a 24-hour convenience store within walking distance. For travelers looking for a friendly, comfortable place to stay with fantastic transport links, this accommodation is a gem. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I liked the fact each capsule was spacious enough to have some personal belongings with you on the floor or on a shelf. Other female guests were respectful about being quiet inside the (female) room and cleaning up after themselves in the shower rooms. The mattress was comfortable, meaning I got a decent night's sleep every night and overall experience nce was excellent, just like other reviews say(which is why I booked this hostel in the first place). Location is super convenient and insulation from street noise is decent. Would book here again on a solo trip. Area of improvement: giving guests 3 or 4 hangers rather just 2, especially if you're renting a towel/staying more than 2 nights.

Likes: - Hostel is steps away from the underground Taipei City Mall exit Y13, which gives you quick access to Taipei Main Station (for HSR and MRT) and Taoyuan Airport MRT - Very kind and helpful staff - Clean facilities Would be nice to have but don't have: - There is no fridge in the common area where guests can keep food and consume them while in the common area. - Note there is window in single room, but it may matter for guests that want to see the weather and daylight. - No emergency phone number for any issues that you may want to contact staff or property manager about after 11PM. (ie: I experienced water leaking from the ceiling as I was packed on my final night in the single room, but couldn't notify any staff.)
