TW-타이베이 백패커스 호스텔

Clean room and friendly staff, any issue will be entertained immediately or as soon as possible. Have a very good time here

We had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. We truly appreciated the early check-in, which allowed us to settle in and get some much-needed rest ahead of our day. The location was also excellent, just a 2–3-minute walk from Ximending, making it very convenient to explore the area. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Taipei!

As a first time traveler our of the country. This place is perfect for me. Just few minutes walk to famous spots in Ximending District. So I didn’t have to mind the time. They also gave a free towel embroidered with the name of the hotel after I gave a review on them in Googlex which serves as a souvenir. If I have the chance to go back to Taiwan I will book them again.

While I appreciated being allowed to check in early at noon, the overall experience was disappointing, particularly due to the staff's attitude and lack of flexibility. I had to carry my luggage up three floors through a narrow stairway, only to find a very small single bed with no privacy curtain. The room had no window coverings, allowing streetlights and sunlight to come through, and was uncomfortably warm with the AC fixed at 24°C. When I raised my concerns, the receptionist responded dismissively, stating that I was the only guest complaining, despite electric fans being provided in the room. Only a small hand towel was included, and I had to pay an additional NT$50 to rent a proper shower towel. Noise and guest behavior were also poorly managed. One guest arrived around 2 AM, made excessive noise, and left his shoes inside the room, creating an unbearable odor. Housekeeping noticed the issue the following morning but took no action. On another occasion, the same receptionist entered the room and made an unnecessarily rude remark about how badly it smelled instead of professionally addressing the situation. The only real advantage is the location, within walking distance of Ximending's pedestrian area. Unfortunately, the uncomfortable accommodations, lack of guest supervision, and particularly the staff's unprofessional attitude made this a disappointing stay. I would not recommend this property.

Have a common fridge where you can store food. Nice location.
