It's also about a 10-15 walk to the historic Dihua street, one of the oldest areas of the city which was once the main market area (still lots of interesting shops there that cater to the local...good photo opps too with some older buildings)

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.

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

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.

宿泊先が入っているビルの玄関の出入り口が警備員(受付スタッフ)付きで、出入りする度に内線でスタッフを呼んで１階まで降りてきてもらうシステム。セキュリティーがしっかりしている気もするが、部屋にたどり着くまでにすごく時間がかかり、急いでいるときは不便に感じた。 ベッドはとてもキレイで幅広くスペースがとってあり、快適だった。スタッフもとても丁寧な対応で、旅行先で親切にされるありがたみを感じた。

台北駅から徒歩圏内で寧夏夜市も目の前でロケーションは良いです。 スタッフも明るくフレンドリーで滞在中は何も不満がありませんでした。 ベットにカーテンが付いていてある程度のプライベートが保てます。 ０時を過ぎてもスタッフがフロントにいて遅い時間でも安心してチェックイン出来ます。

基本的な中・大型ドミトリーホテル

＜良かった点＞ ・ホテルに来る人へのセキュリティー ・寧夏夜市が直ぐ近く ・日本語が出来るスタッフが居る時もある ・1区画がマットレスより大きい ・シャワー熱水ＯＫ。威力は並 ・コンセントの口（2つ）の間隔が広い為、少し大きめの充電器が使用出来る ＜良くなかった点＞ ・外出の毎に警備員に電話してもらわなければいけない ・洗面所ではお湯が出ない ・トイレの紙切れが数箇所あった ・共有のキッチンが無い ・入り口が分かり難い ＜その他＞ ・一室が広く大人数 ・部屋へはカードキー、ロッカーは4ケタのダイヤル ・ハンガー1つあり ※以下はホテル側に落ち度はありませんが、一応報告しておきます。 どこの国の人か分かりませんが、老若男女10強で来ていたグループが、朝も夜もお構い無しに大声で笑ったり会話していました。 私はうるさい場所でも眠れる為大丈夫でしたが、普通の人は睡眠を妨害されるレベルでした。 また、それだけなら良いのですが、夜になると･･･ 大人の夜の営みの声（女性の生声）が、隠す様子も無く部屋中に響き渡っていました。 それも2日連続で･･･！ 今まで沢山のドミトリーに泊まってきましたが、この様な事は有りませんでした。 改めて「理解でき出来ない程、常識の違う人間がこの世には存在する」と再認識しました。

我是獨自旅遊的女生， 有幾點我覺得必須要注意： 1. 廁所不是在房間裏，所以你要先離開房間，經過一個共用的空間，才可去到廁所。 2. 每一間浴室並不是封閉的，所以旁邊別人的水會濺在你的腳上。 3. 房間裏的儲物櫃不是很大，所以行李箱放不進去。 4. 網上很多文章介紹的酒吧現在已經沒有了。 5. 女生廁所（也是浴室），男職員隨便會進去。不會敲個門或是什麼。 6. 廁所吹頭髮的地方很熱。 7. 我自己感覺床舖很乾淨的 8. 我這次的體驗令我不會再住在背包客棧， 我住在全女生的宿舍，好像大概可以容納二十四人，而當中大約有七個人在睡覺的時候，發出極大的鼻鼾聲。有很多人把行李攤在路中央，有很多結隊而來的女生很吵， 所以根本不適合休息。
