This was my first stay at MEANDER 1948, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The location is perfect—just a quick walk from Taipei Main Station, making it super convenient for travelers. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the front desk staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I accidentally stained the mattress, and when I mentioned it, they immediately offered to change the bedding. I only stepped out to freshen up, and by the time I returned, the new sheets were already on, and the blanket was neatly folded. I opened the curtain and just stared in disbelief—this level of efficiency is unreal. The breakfast roll was a nice touch too. I was a little nervous staying in an eight-person room at first, worried about privacy and cleanliness, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything felt clean, organized, and respectful of personal space. As someone who’s a perfectionist (and yes, a Virgo), this place truly exceeded my standards. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Taipei. If you’re still on the fence, don’t overthink it—just book it. You won’t regret it.

My friend and I stayed in a private room with an en-suite bathroom—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. There’s also access to shared facilities if needed, and everything was kept tidy and hygienic. The only downside? Our room required climbing three flights of stairs, which was a bit challenging with heavy luggage. If you’re traveling with bulky bags or have mobility concerns, it’s worth checking the floor level before booking. The hairdryer in the room was weak, so bringing your own is a good idea. What really stood out was the breakfast discount voucher provided—breakfast here is absolutely delicious, fresh, and satisfying. We highly recommend trying it.
