FC 호스텔-루이펑 역

This summer was intensely hot but thanks to the hostel they got AC and electric fans. Nice stay for solo travellers and value for money. The area is convenient since it is nearby the train and bus station. Did a bit of chat with the host, thank you!

CP is good, but the beds were hard and springy, the cleanliness in the toilet left much to be desired. I don't know if i would choose to stay here again

Location was great — it’s less than a 1-minute walk to the Ruifang train station, where you can also catch the tour bus to explore the coastal area and nearby small waterfalls. There’s also a morning market and plenty of food spots to try local food. I actually booked this hostel by accident because I thought it was near Taipei Main Station (lack of research on my end), but because of that, I got to explore a different side of Taipei, which ended up being a nice surprise. The hostel itself was okay. The pictures were a little misleading because they made it seem like there were open mic events and a spacious common hangout area, but there wasn’t really anything like that. There’s also no kitchen. Thankfully, I visited during a quieter time with fewer guests, so for a short stay, I didn’t mind. The manager was nice, though.

Even a budget place should have basic WiFi and cleanliness. You won’t meet anyone who works there. The trash was overflowing in the morning. The beds were a super soft foam mattress on top of an older mattress - very uncomfortable. The pods had no ventilation and if you open your curtain you have lights in your eyes- so quite stuffy. I requested a refund through the messaging system on Agoda and was told my request was unreasonable and that’s how a budget hostel is. The place is ugly too.

my first time experiencing a completely minimal hostel with almost all beds in a honeycomb style stacked up against one wall of one long room good money for what it is, a place just to sleep and basic hygiene
