Small hostel undergoing repairs
Small and inexpensive accommodation centrally located (about 10 mins from the MRT station). The facility is undergoing repairs so there’s a limited availability of bathroom (only 1 toilet available and 2 showers). Clean bed and secure locker. Bathroom cleanliness could be improved. Staff is helpful.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
No tips on refurbishment Shouldn't be open when most of the facilities are under renovation. The photos are not the same as now, they are deceiving people. And the temporary toilet environment is very messy. Feel sorry for other foreigners for letting them stay in such a poor hotel.

記得自備盥洗拖鞋
床位乾淨舒適,不過沒有盥洗用的拖鞋,洗澡時穿著布鞋進去浴室,就算把鞋子放在門口還是有一點濕,有提供長期住宿,所以房間內有比較多的雜物,不過不影響他人

保安設施良好,職員服務態度十分理想,惟洗手間較不清潔,洗手盤面常積水及座廁常有未沖走的廢物!風筒風速不夠強,洗衣機面堆積了幾天的衣物亦沒有人處理,需留意

Liked: Staff & service
Bathrooms are spacious and clean, pods are comfortable, common areas are nice. Overall, we liked the hostel; however, their clothes dryers are all broken and we spent hours and hours and lots of money doing laundry as a result. Nobody at the front desk warned us about this when we purchased laundry soap. It felt like they were being dishonest.

Well located with nice view
This hostel is easy to reach from Taipei Main Station and railway station to Taoyuan Airport. It is also ideally located for those who wish to explore Ningxia night market and Dihua Street to get to know local foods and culture. Public area is spacious with such a nice view over Jiancheng Park. Option of one dorm bed for two person is available which can save lots of money if you travel as a couple.

何度もリピートしてます。タオルとアメニティは持参になるけどこの値段でロケーションを考えたら便利です。チェックインが夜中になる時は事前に言っておけば問題なし。隣にセブンイレブン、斜向かいに寧華夜市、バス路線もたくさんあり助かります^_^

從捷運中山站一直走3~5分鐘就到了, 適合背包一族的小出遊. 大廳有飛鏢可以玩, 員工也很友善, 是一個很好的休息地點. 喜歡夜巿的朋友可以到旁邊的寧夏夜巿逛, 真的很近!!
