Super friendly staff & great fellow hostel mates. About 2 minutes from Ximen station; plenty to see and do, from shopping to nightlife. If you're in TPE for Pride, it's a great place to crash (and if you're not in Taiwan @ Pride, you're missing out...) See you again soon :)

Ximen WOW Hostel

I found this hostel to be "a posh hostel" and it has a very good location, due to it being situated in the middle of the entertainment district in Taipei. There is a karaoke venue in the building and light sleepers would be wise to bring some quality earplugs with them. Even though I stayed at the hostel during a weekend, I was not in any way bothered by noise from other guests coming back from a night out on the town. The staff kept the hostel clean.

The shower has a lot of molds on tiles. They should use bleach to wipe out the molds. The cleaner bleach will make the restroom tiles clean. It is currently very black.

Overall experience was okay. Love that it’s located in the center of Ximen and near subway and bus station. Heads up for those who cannot sleep with loud noise. I dont have sleeping problem so it’s okay but it’s quite loud at night, just like how others have reviewed it. Perfect for those who needs only a bed to sleep like me.

It’s literally a tiny closet. Would not recommend at allll. There’s no space to walk inside rooms because of luggage lined against the walls. Beds are crammed so tight together that you constantly bump each other. The showers are moldy and tiny. People are nasty and not one service person cleaned or emptied the trash so it was overflowing the entire time I stayed there. The pictures are very misleading skip this place.

チェックイン時もチェックアウト時もスタッフ不在でしたが、スムーズにできました。 一つだけ改善点があるとすれば、シャワー室の排水です。更衣室とシャワー室の段差がほとんどないため、水が更衣室の方に流れてきそうになります。

訊息沒看就別承諾顧客

之前住過這個青年旅館，感覺都還不錯，但這次真的很失望，跟朋友是分開訂房，但想要在隔壁床位，所以在訂好房的時候就先提前詢問可否在一起，對方回覆說：「已幫我安排在同房。」我以為這樣就可以了，結果到了入住的那天，因為還沒到可以進房間的時間，我們就只寄放了行李，晚上才自行入住，結果發現不僅沒有在隔壁床位，甚至是不同房間，有點傻眼，但時間蠻晚的了，就想說隔天再到櫃檯詢問。 隔天到櫃檯，跟櫃檯人員說了這件事，表示我們有「私訊告知，你們也說安排好了」，對方就說他查一下，並告知我們「現在沒辦法改，目前都滿床了」，我就說「沒關係，但因為之前在網上，你們有說已經安排好了，如果變成沒辦法，可以提前告知我們」，對方說「因為床位剛好禮拜一有維修，而且你們要一起就要一起訂房。」我就說「好，我了解，我的意思是說 你們答應也表示已安排好在先⋯⋯」，我話都還沒講完他就打斷我說：「現在就是沒辦法，你們要一起就要一起訂」語氣不太好，我想說算了轉身離去，但我卻聽到他在背後說了一句「氣死」，真的蠻生氣的，但我不想跟他吵就直接離開了。當天晚上還發現放在房內的拖鞋不見了，隔天想說要去問一下，也想說如果有遇到其他人員，但都沒有人，只好先自行退房，再傳訊息，結果就被已讀，也沒覺得有什麼，後來就被回了個👍的貼圖，我也是笑笑的，不知道該說什麼
