Hostels in Taiwan, China

During my visit to Taiwan, I stayed at 109 Hostel, which offers both dorm-style 'Dome' rooms and private rooms. The 'Dome' rooms are shared dormitories, each with an en-suite bathroom that features a separate shower area and, importantly, a bidet. Please note that towels and toothpaste incur a small charge (around 5-10 NTD), but complimentary hair styling amenities are provided. A female staff member was waiting for my check-in, and they were accommodating with early check-in and luggage storage. The hostel is conveniently located, easily accessible by bus or MRT Main Station, and just a pleasant 10-minute walk through the city. Walking to Ximending is also very convenient from here. Despite being a mixed-gender dorm, I felt very safe and secure. Most guests were Japanese and Korean, with a few Westerners, and everyone was considerate and didn't disturb each other. The beds were soft and the pillows good, making for a comfortable stay. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Taiwan.

An unreal location and a beautiful room! While small, the room was very clean and tidy with a private bathroom and balcony. The bookshop attached to the communal kitchen was a great place to relax and the restaurant next door offered a great breakfast. The room came with breakfast vouchers which was an added bonus! I will definitely be re-booking next time I’m in Taiwan!

It's not bad. I think it's a good option for those just looking for a place to sleep. It was more affordable than other hostels, and the female-only dormitory was the deciding factor for me. The instructions for the PIN code and check-in process were a bit unclear. My capsule was on the upper level, and it creaked loudly every time I shifted or turned in my sleep, which made for an uncomfortable night. The capsule itself was quite short; at 158cm, I could barely lie down straight. Anyone taller definitely wouldn't be able to fully extend their legs. The dormitory felt a bit lacking in cleanliness.

Overall, it was decent. The location is very convenient. My first impression was a little off because the mattress looked a bit old, but after checking, I found it was clean, so it wasn't a huge issue. The mirror above the sink was also a bit too small. For breakfast, I went down a bit late and there was hardly anything left. I hope these points can be improved.

Good location. 5 mins walk to the main bus and train stations, but a little far from the central area on foot, about 15-20 mins walk. Close to quite a lot of restaurants and cafés. The room was okay, quite clean overall, but my room was on the 4th floor and there was no elevator, so I had to take the stairs every day. The staff was quite friendly and helpful. The wifi could be improved.

We stayed in a double room, the window is in the attached bathroom. Good that it is equipped with night light and international sockets. Indoor plastic slippers are provided, and no outside shoes are allowed at common areas. Cleanliness is above average. Bath towels are provided for double room, it will be even better if hand towel is provided.

This place was perfect for a quick one night stay after my long flight from the US to Taipei. The location is very convienent because it’s right down the street from Taipei main station, in fact I just walked there. The room and the facilities were neat, clean and the decor is so cute and welcoming. The staff was also very accommodating for my last check in, which I really appreciated! This was a perfect place for me to relax and decompress before continuing my travels the next day. Just for reference, I booked a private room which to My delight came with a big window and some Mountain views after sunrise. The bedding was comfortable and so was the bed itself! I would definitely stay here again.

They provide sandals, bath towels, and a hairdryer. The washing machine and dryer are also free to use. Staff are available 24 hours. The room is clean, and there's a free drink dispenser. It's within walking distance to both Taipei Main Station and Ximen. Since it's for women only, it feels safe and easy to use. However, some staff are male, so it's a good idea to bring something to wear in your room. Other than that, I'm really satisfied. I'll use this place again next time.

Nice hostel in Taipei. Comfortable three story bed bunks. The hostel is located in a fine old building in a nice area of central Taipei. Lots of wonderful eateries nearby also for vegetarians. The bathrooms are in another part of the building which is a bit of a drag, but the hostel has fine common areas and dorms. It would have cost less in most other Asian places, but in Taipei this is very good value for the money. Safely recommended.

The bed is big and comfortable. The only downside is that the refrigerator is shared with others outside, which is a little inconvenient. The parking lot is outside, but it is very close to the hotel. The breakfast has few styles but a lot of vegetables. I like it.
