I had a great time at this hostel! The location is super convenient, right in the buzzing district, which made exploring local shops and eateries a breeze. The staff were super friendly and eager to help with anything I needed. Plus, the common area was perfect for chilling out and enjoying late-night snacks from nearby stores!
On the downside, the hostel has no elevator, so lugging my bags up to the 6th floor was a bit of a workout. I found the air conditioning in my room wasn’t really doing the trick, leaving it a bit stuffy at times. though, the experience was decent for the price!

my recent overnight stay at a hostel in Taipei exceeded all expectations. From the friendly staff to the fast Wi-Fi and convenient location near restaurants and shops, everything was perfect.
Small and damp room.

The location of this hostel is absolutely incredible, right in the heart of the city's most vibrant area. We were surrounded by amazing food options and easily explored the bustling streets. The staff were incredibly helpful and always had a smile on their face. The common lounge area was a great place to relax and had all the amenities we needed, including a washing machine. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with thoughtful touches like bed curtains for privacy and personal lockers. We appreciated the hot/cold water machine outside our room. Despite a minor issue with the dryer, the staff quickly provided alternative solutions for drying our clothes. we had a fantastic stay thanks to the super friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved the cozy and comfortable room, with a comfortable bed, pillow, and comforter. the water dispenser in the common area was a great convenience. the location was fantastic, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and attractions within walking distance.
There were a few aspects that we didn't appreciate. the lack of proper facilities for hanging clothes and towels was a hassle.

I stayed at Backpackers Hostel for 4 nights for a backpacking trip. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Taipei's most vibrant area. The helpful staff made my stay even better. The beds were comfortable, the showers were clean and had hot water, and the AC kept the room cool. The lounge area was a great place to relax, and the free water was a nice touch. The hostel also offered useful services like airport transfers and unlimited data sim cards. a modern and cozy hostel with friendly staff.
Can recommend this hotel.

Great location, within walking distance of public transportation and a variety of shops and restaurants. Free laundry facilities, including a washer and clothes spinner.- Enjoyed the convenience of free hot tea.
Small rooms, barely suitable for one set of bunk beds, with no space to sit or store belongings. No towels provided and had to be rented separately.
