Could be better
My main gripe with the location is about the accessibility of the hostel from the main Taipei station. it is much longer than what was described. Although it is cited as a hostel, the rooms are extremely close to each other. So even the coming and going of other guests are easily heard. Soundproofing of the rooms nearer to the main door should be enhanced.

住頂樓雖然有冷氣，但還是有一點熱。浴室裡的窗簾遮光性不足，早上好刺眼。蓮蓬頭的水量好小。 精緻小房間，溫暖人心。打開窗簾如果可以看見西門町夜景那就太棒了。 安全性佳，房間內隔音不佳。我坐在床上就聽到隔壁女生向她男朋友抱怨，蓮蓬頭的水好小...

Had to do last minute booking due to Typhoon Lekima, place that makes you feel like home, good for short stay, downstairs is the famous mala hotpot. Located at Ximending district - Hankou street. There's convenient stores nearby. Accidentally left some of my belongings, hotel staff kind enough to recovered and kept it for me until I went back to collect the next day. Highly recommended.

Convenient location as it is near mrt station, airport mrt station and ximending. Thankful for seats in balcony area when I wanted to be away from other guests. Be prepared to pay 100 TWD for extra pillow and bring your own ear plugs and towels.

We stayed in this inn for 1 night and other than the location, I feel that nothing really special about their double room. Their shower design is one of the worst I ever see, with possibility to flood the entire bathroom if you not shower carefully. Our room located at the top floor/ which attic-type ceiling (slanted) which make the room feels cramp. Location was great though since located in Ximending, and Check in/ check out process was fast. Nevertheless there’s plenty of other accommodation in the area.

Good location, the neighborhood is very alive with lots of restaurants and shops, and not too far from Main Station Taipei (10 min on foot). At the 12th story it's quiet regarding the street noise & traffic. Quite clean overall, rooms a bit small but bathroom is efficient.

Might need to queue for the toilets in the morning. I didnt have a good stay as the capsule was stuffy, i was assigned the capsule next to the door and on the top. There wasnt any grip bar on the left side to aid climbing in. Being next to the door is irritating and also the lack or ventilation. After shower, I had to go up to level 12 and hang my towel. Perhaps a drying rack at level 11?

The toilet is a disaster, very loud while flushing, and never clears in one flush. Stayed 3 nights and the toilet bowl was never completely clean..
