The stay at Meander was nice. It's an affordable place close to some busy and popular areas in Ximen.
The check-in staff was very cooperative and helped us with any trouble.
All staff spoke good English too.
The lobby area is a big, open work and common space with a kitchen and water dispenser. It's pretty comfy and you can even store some food in the fridge.
The rooftop is also open till late at night and offers some views of the city.
The bathrooms on the mixed gender dorm floors were okay but unfortunately had some mold in the shower area. The dorm room itself was nice and offered small lockers to safely keep important belongings, as there are no lockable places to keep your bigger luggage or backpacks.
Overall a very affordable yet nice place to stay in Taipei.
