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.

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!
This has to be the most thoughtful hostel I've ever stayed at. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how well-prepared they were for every need—free tea bags, coffee, toothpicks, cotton swabs, moisturizer, hair ties… even things I didn’t think to bring myself.

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. Perfect for exploring Taipei’s vibrant streets and food scene. Everything about this place—from service to facilities to convenience—deserves a perfect score. If you’re visiting Taipei, this hostel is an absolute must-book.
Staying at CHECK inn Taipei XinYi was a great experience! The location is fantastic—just a short walk from Taipei 101, making it super convenient for exploring the bustling Xinyi district. The room was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with a smart layout that includes a separate bathroom and shower area—dry/wet separation makes all the difference. There’s ample space to unpack two suitcases, which is a big plus when traveling. One small note: the sink and bed are only divided by a curtain, not a wall, so water can splash onto the bed if you're not careful. That said, it's manageable with a little attention.

Overall, this place delivers excellent value, comfort, and convenience. I’d definitely stay here again on my next visit to Taipei.
