I love that my room is good for only 2 pax and has a window. I'm comfortable with my bed , wifi connection is good but not in the room. You need to pay 50NTD for a big towel. For the price it is pricey but the location is close to everything that especially the MRT, Carrefour and Ximending night market. You can just walk. They let you leave the luggage upon checkout but until 5PM only. Beyond that there's a charge

Ideally located in the Datong District district of Taipei, Meander 1948 Hostel - Taipei Main Station is set less than 1 km from Ningxia Night Market, a 10-minute walk from Taipei Main Station and 1.3 km from Taipei Zhongshan Hall. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Certain rooms at the property feature a balcony with a city view.

It's a beautifully repurposed hostel and very was well maintained/managed. Spacious dorm room with a window, individual storage cupboard and space. Very good design of the bed pod - the bed was slightly bigger(wider) than a lot of hostel single bed; there're 2 lights inside with separated switches; curtain on every pod. The beddings were proper and comfortable. There's no bad smell, not humid in the room. I think soundproof were properly done as I never heard of any big noise, even though my bed was right next to the door and it's right opposite to the bathroom. I had very good sleep during the stay. The bathrooms were clean and properly ventilated - you would not start to sweat right after the shower. The kitchen was not big but it had everything essential - a big fridge, drinking water machine for cold and hot water - IH stove, cookware, microwave, coffee machine providing free coffee! And, the staffs were very nice and helpful. One of the incidence for example : I told the staff that I'd need luggage storage on the check out day, but I needed to checkout super early which was before their service time. The staff (she showed me around the hostel when checking in) told me to keep the luggage in the room and they'd take it down for me to the storage room. When I came back to take the luggage later the day, she went to take out my luggage without mistake - there's no keeping slip, no number; she even didn't ask me what colour /size was my luggage. I only requested it once (without repeating) when checking in. She noted down and executed precisely. It is a hostel, but this kinda service was as good as a hotel.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The facilities offer everything you need for a good and safe stay (in a hostel). The beds were so comfortable and everything was working just fine. The shared bathroom was super clean.

    it’s a hotel which also has a hostel section. For a youth hostel bunk bed (8 bunks in a room without windows), it’s not cheap. However, it is hotel quality - spotlessly clean, great aircon and ventilation, breakfast buffet included, tea and water all day in their common room with TV. the bathroom is large, clean, has hot water and hair dryers. there is also a laundry room with several washing machines and dryers which are all free to use! All guests were highly respectful and the beds have curtains and allow for privacy.
