This hostel is conveniently located near the metro station "Beitou," which is also a popular tourist destination for its famous hot springs. It is also a bit further away from the city center, perfect for those who wish to stay away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Taipei (I personally enjoyed this). It is very close to a traditional market where you could find typical food for local residents. The room I stayed is spacious, compared to most of the hostels in Taipei. There are windows that can be open to have some fresh air, but also air conditioner if you wish to close the windows. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly; they were eager to make your stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible. If you read the guest book on the first floor, you could see that they made so many travelers felt like home. A good place to stay for sure.
