The staff at the hostel are truly kind, helpful and fun. The general atmosphere at the hostel is relaxed, yet everything works efficiently. As a foreigner who doesn't understand chinese, the help from the staff was invaluable numerous of times. We stayed at the hostel as a group of six people and genuenly enjouyed our stay. We warmly recommend the hostel to anyone looking for a nice and affordable place to stay in Taipei. Moreover, the Beitou area is both beutiful and lively and has many interesting sights, such as the park with thermal pools and hotsprings and the local nightmarket.
