My wife and me had an enjoyable stay in this Shihlin Hostel. We stayed for 3 nights. It's strategically and conveniently located. Shihlin night market is just right across the street. The MRT & bus stops are less than 10 min walk. A convenient store is just in front of the hostel. There's even a cafe just next to the entrance to the hostel. Despite it's location next to the night market and MRT, the hostel is quiet for a good night's sleep.

Most importantly, the room is clean and well equipped (there's even a multi-socket plug for those who wants to charge multiple devices at one go). The bathroom is spacious and clean as well. To my surprise, towels, toothbrush and toothpaste were provided. Truth be told, I didn't expect such amenities to be provided. Yes, shower gel and shampoo are there too.

Simon is a very humble, kind and nice host. He replied to emails promptly. He even advised us to bring extra clothing due to the cold weather. He took the time to explain the places of interest nearby the hostel. Maps of different places are provided. Actually, we arrived earlier than the required check-in time. But he kindly let us put the luggage in the room. He even provide taxi service to Taoyuan airport should you need it.

I will definitely highly recommend this Shihlin Hostel to other fellow travelers for its strategic location, clean, cosy and quiet room. To top it up, Simon is really a very kind, helpful and nice host. Give it a try and you'll love it. For the rate we got, it's really value for money.
