Analysis

Key Strengths

Prime Location in Ximending

A 7-minute walk from Ximen Station, with convenience stores nearby for late-night snacks and easy access to the city center

Thin walls allow sound from adjacent rooms to be heard, and the bunk bed frames can shake, potentially disrupting sleep for sensitive individuals

Limited Space and Amenities

Towels and toiletries are not provided, and the short shower curtains result in the entire bathroom floor getting wet after use

Rating Details

8.3 Excellent 3,021개 리뷰

Hostel within a 5-minute walk of Ximending Station. Strengths include early check-in and friendly staff service, with a location in the vibrant heart of Ximending. However, rooms may be somewhat compact. Close to Longshan Temple and Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, it's suitable for backpackers and young travelers.
