Brandon’s place is a really strange hostel, and one which we didn’t enjoy. There are so many negatives (albeit with some positives) and this made our stay not enjoyable.
- The whole place is dirty, run down and in need of serious maintenance. Cracks in the walls, flooring and holes to outside creating drafts.
- Ridiculously uncomfortable ‘bed’, which isn’t actually a bed but rather a thin rock solid mattress on top of chest of drawers. No duvet - just two sleeping bags as cover, with thin pillows.
- Dark, gloomy and unnatural lighting, mixed with awful decorations and clutter everywhere.
- Unnecessary lengthy check in with tons of rules and pointless information. We got fined $NTD300 for being half an hour late due to delayed bus. They gave the reason as the staff had to stay behind, but when we arrived they were all sat around drinking.
- Stains on all towels provided.
- Awful smells on second floor, like sewerage crossed with old milk.
- Overall strange vibe.
Would never recommend!
