    One thing to note is the atmosphere is very much everyone to themselves and self-occupied. It’s not really a social hostel. There isn’t a strong promotion of group outdoor activity (which is a great way to break the ice) however, I did see an event poster for elephant mountain hiking tour.

    The beds are big, super comfy with curtains for privacy, and the women’s bathroom was clean and convenient. There is shampoo and bodywash available and they offer you a towel for free. The lounge/living room was super spacious (with bean bags and even a video console) and there was also a kitchen to get some tea or cutlery. The reception team are also very lovely and willing to give you some great recommendations for places. The free breakfast is always appreciated but you’ll need to get there early!

    Absolutely nothing. Would probably be a disappointment to someone looking for a more party -centric hostel.

    Very well organized and chill hostel.

    Nothing it was all good!

    The location is ideal! Very close to the main station so you can go to the airport in one train directly. The staff were super friendly and the common areas are so beautiful and there is a lot of space to chill, work or do whatever you want. The breakfast was amazing, they had a special vegan option, which was delicious. Highly recommend.

    I spent a night here in the female dorm and really enjoyed my stay. The check in process was smooth and the common areas were spacious. My room was clean and quiet and I appreciated having separate bathroom for females only. Breakfast was also lovely and as a solo traveller I did get the chance to chat with other travellers! Also really appreciated the map with recommendations for places to eat at and visit in the vicinity. I’d definitely want to come back.

    This hostel is one of a kind! You can’t compare it to any hostel you’ve ever stayed. There are dorms with shared bathrooms and private rooms with a bathroom inside the room. Everything is super clean! The common room is super creative with a small wooden house, nice chairs, many plants and a open kitchen. The breakfast was very good with vegan options and the staff was very friendly! The train station is super close and there are may restaurants and shops near by. We will definitely come back!

    The breakfast on Thursday is mostly sugar and fat (toast with butter and sugar sprinkles). I really didn't want to start my day with that much sugar, and I think a more healthy option is feasible in a country that has some of the most amazing fresh fruit. The common areas are way too cold. And I believe it's not just me, since most people I've seen are wearing sweaters/long sleeves. Maybe 2 degrees less cold would be more comfortable and be better for the environment. A small towel in the bathroom would be nice. The size of the room is OK for one person, very cozy, but two people with luggage might struggle.

    I really like the location, the facilities, some of the staff, the room.

    Our two people private room was not too big and the bathroom cabin was open to the rest of the room with a sort of milky glass texture. It's not exactly see-through but you do "feel" somewhat exposed due to this setup. Not a deal-breaker but good to know nonetheless.

    Great location, clean and friendly staff. Good English profieciency. Price is reasonable. 7-Eleven bascially next door and the next metro station exit is just a short walk away. Breakfast menu changes daily. Overall very good, would book again.

    Every second song in the lobby was the same.. don’t know if anyone else noticed but it got on my nerves 😂 also no window in the basic female dorm, but I guess that’s why it’s basic ;)

    One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in so far. Nice Lobby, nice female dorms with a bathroom just for females. The breakfast was also very good :)

    Star hostel was incredible. The hostel is conveniently located next to the main station, making it easy to get to and from the airport, and the MTR to key sights. The hostel itself is immaculate. A really great vibe. The staff are friendly and always willing to help. The included breakfast, which changes daily, is a perfect way to kick off your morning. I found my private room clean, comfortable, and spacious.

    The rooms are small (but to be expected in Taipei) and you can’t flush toilet paper down the toilet.

    Super nice vibe, really cozy shared spaces. Delicious breakfast. Great location.
