Overtime surcharge could have been lowered or could it be paid in other ways. Must add facilities to process self check-in beyond operational hours for guest convenience.
What I like the most out of this is the cleanliness of the room and their area which is near marketplace and the MRT Ximen. They also have a 24 hour lounge which is cool if your a person who does more socializing with others. Environment fits with anyone especially young travelers like us.

“Friendly staff, great location and safety.”

Noisy at night from outside, but no much.
Location is great. It's closed to MRT Ximen. Walk about 5 mins. Friendly Staffs. The room might be small if you have a big lugguage, but it will be fine. Beds are comfy. For room cleanliness, you need to tell the staffs for cleaning. You may need to pay for additional cost for cleanliness like bedsheet, but for bathroom and floor cleaning is free. Overall, I love it. Reasonable price. There is a key card for entrance the hotel and room. All great, visit it.

I actually don't like the location because it was not easy to find. But our stay was nice so I don't really mind.
We really like the bed! We were expecting bunk beds because that was the photo shown on the description and we were surprised that we were provided 2 single beds. It was really nice! And the room was spacious enough for the both of us. Will definitely come back to this hostel when I go back to Taiwan!

The noise. Whenever there are others who uses the shower, we can hear it from our room and it is very loud like it is just beside us. We had a hard time getting asleep due to the noise.
It is easy to find from Ximen station. It it cute and clean.
