Very nice hostel, only thing lockers are tiny no point having them cant fit a backpack in there. Also whilst the mattress is very soft it is so thin its like sleeping straight on the wood. That being said would still stay again if I was in Taipei. Location also excellent

Regret my booking the moment I stepped into the ro
paint on the room wall is peeling off; loud traffic noise from outside of the building; can hear other visitors talking during night; very small, and it is very weird that staffs ask the visitors to change shoes to their slippers after arrival. I paid $300+ a night for my family of 4; regret my choice the moment I stepped into the room.

Meander hostel has the best friendly staff who answered all my questions with useful info and quickly. It has the best Lobby area for social activities amongst residents who are mostly internationals. It is near the subway blue and green line in a 10 mins walk. It’s located in the famous Xiamen district therefore everywhere lots of happenings and Activities. Such as concert/ signing at the street. major stores are H&M, Adidas , Nike, etc I would recommend meander

第一次來到,透過Google Maps尋找10分方便。 工作人員好快咁幫我完成check-in程序,意想不到嘅係工作人員會帶我遊酒店嘅環境。 工作人員10分友善,有任何問題都好快幫我解決。 地下一樓,有一個很大的公共空間,可以俾大家食飯,飲咖啡,或是認識新朋友。 本人覺得很新穎,因為好少旅客會用到這公共空間。但這裏的情形不一樣,很多人會利用這空間傾談,認識新朋友。 有時候我有點不知所措,因為有一啲住客太熱情,比較喜歡說話。 這裏很休閒,晚上10分寧靜,並沒有任何習性和噪音。隔音的設備不錯。

It’s our first experience at a hostel. The staff spoke English and are super helpful. The property is a little old but it is well-equipped with everything we need. The best part was the bunkbeds in private room with a bathroom. My teens no longer want to share a bed so we chose to stay at a hostel with bunkbeds so we each get a bed for ourselves. There were also board games and cards in the lobby. The hostel is close to the eateries and shops at Ximen district. We walked down a few blocks to the famous Yong He for soy milk and pancake before we left for an early flight. It was a wonderful experience for the family.

Biggest issues for were the clogged drains in the shower cubicle. The cubicle floods within like 30 seconds of using the shower. Disgusting!!! Then there is the problem with the tap. One 3 occasions during my 3 days stay, there was no water coming out of the taps?! Like there is a VERY serious water pressure or water supply issue - which very strangely doesn’t affect the showers. And this hostel doesn’t provide free towels. I get the part on not providing toothpaste, toothbrushes and shavers - but not providing towels is really being very stingy. And please, it’s not being “environmentally friendly”, it’s just cost saving in disguise. The location is decent though it is a long walk to the mrt station if you are dragging a luggage. But really, this hostel is in dire need of a thorough renovation - especially its plumbing and drainage!

Great Place to Stay
Everything was great here. The breakfast was good, the staff were very helpful and it is close by to Ximen station. The women’s washroom was big and they had shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryer and other small amenities. Beds were very comfortable and there is a locker to store items. If I’m ever in Taipei again I may stay here again
