Wifi was fast and reliable, and the common area is a great place to hang out with filtered water, coffee, and tea included. 10/10 would recommend staying here for a solo trip!

Our experience was excellent from the moment we arrived. The staff is so friendly while handling our requests. We enjoyed the free coffee and relaxing in the balcony and common area. I especially appreciate the convenient location. I needed to buy an extra carryon bag to bring home all my souvenirs, and was happy to find the many home goods stores right around the corner.

Second time stayed at this place. We had a different type of guest room for 4 travelers. Room was spacious enough to accommodate 4 adults and luggages. The room is clean and I think they have added more hooks and shelves for putting small things around the room.

I stayed at Meander 1948 as part of a longer trip. I cycled around the entirety of Taiwan, starting and ending in Taipei with Meander 1948 as my “base”. The staff is lovely. They even agreed to keep my (quite literally) enormous bicycle suitcase while I was cycling. Free of charge.
