This hostel was a great choice for my solo trip in Taiwan. It’s easy to access to 2 stations near this hostel even if you carry big luggages. Quiet neighborhood, hotel guests. But I think you need to let them know what time you arrive at the hostel. I needed to wait for about one hour room cleaning done.

Basic Accommodation, Good Location

Basic accommodation for one-two nights stay. Good location, short walk to train station, bus station and night market. A lot of food options nearby. Not easy to find as the main entrance is just a regular house entrance. There is no proper signage so you just need to find the number 59 plate on the wall.

Liked: Cleanliness

Rooms were clean and well-stocked, but each one different, and some without windows. Beds were comfortable. Advance check-in instructions were not clear. Nobody is available for on-site check-in, Be sure you have WhatsApp or Line installed, or you will be dead in the water. All communication with management is through those apps. Once we got that cleared up, everything went smoothly. This is not your typical tourist hotel, and some rooms do not have elevator access, but it is clean, safe, and authentic. I would stay here again!

No lobby staff and no staff ever seen to ask questions of. Only contact with the hotel was through whatsapp. Check-in was a tedious process through whatsapp which I would not have successfully completed without the help of someone I was traveling with. Had to request towels, drinking water and toilet paper through whatsap on a daily basis by 11 am.

Rooms are mostly without real windows.

The rooms with windows were not true windows, just a tiny cell hole high up that faces the corridors. So the rooms will not get amy sunlight. The rooms have some kind of cigarette smell. If they can get rid of smell plus wallpaper the room, room will be much better. The only good thing is that rates are quite low.

The confirmation letter from Expedia was no help. It took me an hour sitting in the lobby to realize there was no one working the frontdesk in the lobby. I had to catch other guests going in and out the 'hotel' to help with contacting the manager. I must first install Line, an app I had never used before, Then another person helped me with how to contact the manager with Line. That took another half an hour before I was checked in. As a visitor, I had internet but no phone.

Good location next to Shilin market and close to the metro. Good shower, Aircon, and an elevator. We were at the end of the corridor so it was quiet. Room is tiny which wasn't super clear in the pictures. Floor was absolutely filthy when we arrived, although when I notified reception they did send the cleaner to vacuum. It clearly never gets mopped. Bed is also small but relatively comfortable. Found the whole process for check in very tedius of messaging on line, having to download this app, recieving a code. A human interaction is sometimes better. Room was also not ready until 4pm, worldwide this is very late for a check in which is usually 2pm. They did allow us to leave bags in a communal area as no reception (which didn't feel safe at all). Overall for the price charged it felt expensive for the service received.

I wanted to like this place. I'd lived in Taiwan before so I knew what to expect from "apartment" style buildings. Location was great for my trip and wifi was blazing. Service people are helpful. Taxis probably wont want to pull up to the front of the building in that narrow street, so that's something to note. Make sure to have "Line" messaging app installed to contact the management and send a pic of your passport, to get the door panel code and check-in details for your room. Newly installed access panel for the building's front door had us locked out for 30min one day, so that could have been very bad for us had we missed a meeting. Asked to change sheets and towels one day, but only sheets were changed. There was a small window towards the hallway that make it harder to sleep as the room was never dark. Walls don't offer any soundproofing, and they ask to keep the noise down past 9pm. Overall, It's not terrible, but not great either. Good for utility, not for comfort.

It was such a terrible nightmarish night.

These are my experiences. 1. I made a reservation for a total of five nights from December 21st to 26th. 2. I heard that the hotel counter was open until 22:00, but since it was a self-service hotel, there was no one, not only the counter but also the manager. You cheated. 3. I chose a non-smoking room, but the smell of cigarettes in the room was severe. (I checked in early morning on the 22nd.) So I heard you were going to clean the room, but surprisingly, I came on the night of the 22nd and found that it was not cleaned at all. 4. On the first day, the smell of cigarettes was so bad that they were going to give us extra cleaning. (Of course they didn't do anything.) After that, they also said that they would be given cleaning and towels every three days. Is it common practice to clean once every three days, give towels only once every three days, and give disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste only once every three days? 5. And there was a lot of cleaning and mold dust in the room, and I gave up a hundred times saying I could sleep as long as the bed was clean, but the bed was especially so dirty. There were so many foreign substances (blood? body fluid?) in the blanket that I couldn't cover it. Therefore, I was shivering in the cold for two nights from December 21 to 23 morning without being able to cover my blanket. I couldn't sleep because it was so cold and checked out on the morning of 12/23 (even though I had 3 more days left to book)

こちらのゲストルームにはスタッフは常駐しておりません。入口にゲートがあります。そこに紙が貼ってあります。QRコードがありLINEかWhatsAppに連絡します。そうすると番号が送られてきて外のゲートを開けられます。開いたらそのまま入って下さい。そうするとソファーがありますので、そこでLINEかかWhatsAppにパスポートの写真を送るとやっと泊まる部屋がどこかわかります。中に入ってからパスポートを送っても読み込めないって何回も何回もなり結局電話してラインでパスポートの写真を送ってやっと教えてもらったって感じです。リアルについてから2時間位格闘してやっと部屋に入れた感じです。ここはゲストルームです。ホテルでロビーにスタッフがいると思ってる方はやめた方がいいです。慣れたら簡単ですが本当苦戦しました。でもハウスキーパーの方は本当にいい人でした。ラインしてくれたスタッフもよかったがとりあえず私には凄い難しかった。けど士林夜市は近いです。あとファミマも2、3分の所にあります。九份とかに行くなら絶対台北駅の近くのホテルの方が便利でいいと思います。値段で選ぶなら別ですが！最後に警告しときます。ここは本当に謎解きです。YouTubeの動画は本当にちんぷんかんぷんでよくわからなかった。電話しないと絶対に入らなかった。あと番号はスクショして保存する事！それか紙に書いて持ってた方がいいよ。以上！まー3泊したけど住めば都www あ、最後に日本語は100%通じません！！！英語と中国語オンリーです。 good luck💜
