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.
Perfect for solo travelers! The hotel feels secure and well-organized, with separate floors for men and women—great for privacy. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully designed, making the stay feel comfortable and relaxing. I really appreciated having access to a washer and dryer, which made packing light much easier. There’s also a water dispenser on every floor, so staying hydrated is effortless. With plenty of restrooms available and clean facilities throughout, it’s clear the management pays attention to detail. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I visit Taipei.

The staff went above and beyond: they greeted me with a welcoming cup of tea, gave a detailed walkthrough of the hostel, and personally showed me to my bed and bathroom. Their kindness and attention to detail made the whole experience feel personal and comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking here again on my next visit to Taipei!
Located in a fantastic spot just steps away from Taipei Station and Zhongshan Station, this hostel offers incredible convenience for travelers. 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. Overall, the experience was excellent, with great value and a warm, welcoming vibe. I’d definitely come back, possibly opting for a single room next time for a more peaceful stay.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—they went out of their way to answer questions and even gave me some great tips on nearby spots to check out. Location-wise, it’s super central—just a short walk or quick subway ride to Ximending, perfect for exploring the city. Clean, welcoming, and affordable—this place really delivers on value. I’d absolutely stay here again if I come back to Taipei. Highly recommended!
Stayed at Dongmen 3 Capsule Inn on October 14th and was thoroughly impressed. The entire space was spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything I needed. The room was quiet and comfortable, and the single capsule bed was surprisingly spacious—definitely more than enough room for a good night's sleep. The front desk staff, a young woman with a warm smile, went above and beyond to explain all the amenities and made me feel welcome right away. Her friendly attitude truly enhanced the experience. Located just minutes from the metro station, it’s super convenient for exploring Taipei’s main attractions.

Staying at Fun Inn Taipei was a great experience overall. The hostel is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from Chenghuang Temple and the bustling Chengzhong Market, with easy access to the MRT station nearby. The place is clean and has a vibrant atmosphere that makes it feel welcoming. I stayed in a bunk bed room with two beds, and the layout made climbing up and down easy. However, there’s no private bathroom in the room—only one shared bathroom for all guests—and this meant morning routines could get a bit crowded as everyone queued to use it after someone else finished showering. It’s a small downside, but not deal-breaking. What really stood out was the staff—they were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. Their warm hospitality made the stay even more enjoyable. I’d definitely come back again!
Staying at Backpacker Hostel Changchun was an excellent experience from start to finish. Every power outlet is universal, so I didn’t have to worry about adapters—super convenient.

The beds come with privacy curtains, which made sleeping much more comfortable and personal. The bathrooms are clean, well-maintained, and spotless—definitely a big plus. Plus, the hostel is just steps away from the metro station, making it super easy to get around and visit top attractions like the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. With great value, friendly staff, and a prime location, this place truly stands out. I’d definitely stay here again.

Kitchen essentials, hair dryers, washing machines, and a fridge are all available, plus everything you might not even realize you’d need. They require guests to change into indoor slippers upon entry, which really shows their commitment to cleanliness. The 6-person dorm is surprisingly spacious, and they’ve thought of everything—even including towel racks! Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just a 2-minute walk to Dihua Street, 5 minutes to Beimen Station, and less than 10 minutes on foot to Ningxia Night Market.

The AC is powerful, but I rarely use it—I just keep the balcony door open and let the fan do the work. The host is incredibly kind and always cheerful. She’s gone above and beyond to help with recommendations and local tips, making my stay feel like home. At just 15,000 per month, this is one of the best deals I’ve ever had.
