Great place to meet friendly people
The hostel is great if you are the type of person that likes to meet new people and do events with other travelers. If you're like me, where you just want a quiet and cheap place to stay, this isn't it. It's not a party hostel, but it's definitely a community type hostel. People were watching movies until really late and the beds would move more than I would like. If I wanted to make friends, this would've been a great place, but I went to Taipei to meet my friends haha.

Could use an mattress/bedding/linens update
To quote another reviewer, “it’s like staying at a friends house!” And it is. Though there’s good and bad to staying with “friends”, such as bed being harder than need be and way more worn out than should be, ac being turned off by another roommate in a shared room (not regulated by the management), or shared shower/bathroom for men and women and not separated for all the 10+ people staying there. Things get awkward sometimes. Towels are also Kind of musty. If you get the wrong one your whole face smells like the must, bring your own is always the better bet. And the rooms aren’t noise-free, which is fine. Considering the $7 usd I spent, spend a few dollars more on a newer, more spacious hotel. service and staff were friendly enough though, if that’s helpful.

Thanks for you compliment about our service and staff!! Our towel are used to provide few people who forget to bring their own for free, and we will improve the quality in the future! As a typical international youth hostel, we mix everybody together to keep harmony with one another. We will keep upgrading our facility and management!

Clean and quiet
This was a wonderful hostel. It was very clean, small enough to meet people if you wanted to, and very quiet at night. I booked a six person mixed room, but my room ended up only having four beds, which was a nice surprise, and they did their best to keep genders separated. The hostel is located pretty close to a small night market, and the area is fun to walk around at night. They also offered a laundry service so you could leave your clothes out in the morning, and they’d be washed and hanging up by night time. I didn’t use it so am not sure if there was a cost associated. All things considered, I would definitely come back and think people who are looking for a place to get a good night’s rest while exploring Taiwan will discover that this hostel will meet their needs nicely.

今風の内装、設備
・目的が、夜市であれば非常に近くて便利。 ・夜市は若い女性向けの洋服店やジュエリー店などが多かった印象。 ・メインストリートの飲食店や出店は、お酒を飲みながらゆっくりできる感じではない。 ・スタッフさんは、基本的には親切だった。 ・混雑時は共用スペースのリビングが賑やかになりやすいため、静かに過ごしたい人は、ベースメント（地下階）の部屋がオススメ。 ・洗濯物はスタッフさんが無料で行ってくれる。（他人のものと一緒に洗濯されるのが気になる方はNGだと思う） ・看板などが一切ない為、場所が分かりにくい。さらに、建物が周りの住居と同化している為、まったく分からなかった。 ・喫煙スペースが一切ない。 ・今風の内装で、設備もある程度普通にある。 ・近くに24時間営業のスーパーもあり、便利である。

台北行的意外收穫
比起一般的Hostel，我覺得這裡更像在溫馨的朋友家入住一晚。位在台電大樓步行不到5分鐘的安靜巷內，對於外地到訪的旅客非常容易就能抵達。屋內的木質設計、溫暖的燈光和坐在上面讓大家很快就能聊開的魔力沙發是我在台北最棒的印象。更讓人驚奇的是非常乾淨的環境，和據說是韓國hostel才會出現的免費洗衣服務，對於會在台北待上一段時間的旅客是最貼心的服務。此次台北行其中一個目標是咖啡朝聖之旅，主人毫不吝嗇地分享了口袋名單，也結交了一些朋友，這會是我人生中最棒最棒的hostel體驗之一！
