The 10 best Hostels hotel in Taipei, Taiwan

May 3, 2023 Moriah Teneyck

You can eat very well—and very cheaply—in Taipei. The restaurants may not look posh, but the quality of the food is superlative. And there’s a huge variety of restaurants—in addition to local Taiwanese specialties, you’ll find regional cuisines from all over China, as well as great Indian, Japanese and even Italian options. Just make sure to leave some room for snacks—street-vendor food here is addictive.

Reviewed By sohyeee

The hostel was clean and comfortable. I stayed in a 4-room female room, albeit the room was a little small but there was definitely enough space. However, you probably shouldn't bring a big luggage if you're gonna stay here as it might be quite inconvenient to keep opening and closing in the room. There are free snacks and breakfast for you. Breakfast is fairly simple, with toast and some spreads, but I didn't eat the breakfast as I went out to have better breakfast. Overall, I really recommend the hostel due to the cleanliness and comfort it offered.

The Fun Inn has dorm rooms with purposely carpentered built-in bunk bed arrangements. Each bed comes with it's own locker. The key card opens the main door, room door and locker. The location is great, 10 minutes walk from the main train station where the express train from the airport is. Lots of good food close by and the food night market at Jiantian is just 8 minutes away on the Red line MRT from the main station.

Lovely hostel in the middle of the city

Reviewed By PrincessSophia

The hostel is located not far from Taipei main station which means it's very convenient in terms of transpiration and accessibility. It's right next to a busy street though. This means the noise is very noticeable but ear plug helps a lot. I love the architecture of the building which has a very interesting flavor of the old style building. The renovation and the design of the place is very thoughtful and considerate. The shared toilet and shower room is spotless clean. It's so clean i feel i can walk around with bare foot like i was at home. The breakfast portion is a bit small but it does not bother me.

Perfect hostel with convenient location, loved everything about the place

Reviewed By tmug2020

I absolutely loved and loved staying at this hostel! The staff are super friendly, speaks great English and cares about the guests. The security is good, each room has a card swiper to enter. The reception area is gorgeous with big windows and great view. Very budget friendly, even though it has an elegant feel with lovely decorations. The bedding is clean, ultra soft and the area is well aired and you really can’t hear any noise from the lobby. The bed curtain is very thick so no light enters, which was perfect for me to sleep soundly. I got to meet lots of other international guests, got to read good books and enjoyed the fast internet. Will stay here again later

Pleasant stay

Reviewed By ReGine_SH1123

It's our first stay at this hotel. We stayed for another 2 nights when we returned from tc. We stayed on the 13th floor in different rooms. Both rooms are cosy. Staff are polite and helpful. They served a simple breakfast from 7-10/11am (forgot exact timing) at level 12 (hotel reception). Exact location would be quite near or opposite to YongHe Soya.There's a hotpot at the corner of the building. 5-10mins walk from xmd exit 6. Overall it's near to all foodies and shopping areas.

Taiwan Youth Hostel & Capsule Hotel

I definitely recommend this place!

Reviewed By jenny q

I was really hesitant to stay in a hostel since I have been used to having my own space when travelling abroad. I was pleasantly surprised that it offered the same amenities as most hotels except for the shared bathrooms and pantry stuff. This hostel had a great location, very near the Taipei main station, convenience stores, malls..basically walking distance to almost anything you need. The place is very clean. We were surprised that the beds in the rooms were really big and comfy, it didn't look like that in the pictures, so WOW! Staff was super nice and very helpful. Everything was clean. I would definitely book another stay here!

Expensive part of megacity

Reviewed By Detlef Z

Short distance to the airport and walkable to nearby Mass Transit Railway station. Recently renovated but the job is haphazardly done, may be even rushed. Good prices we got but this is an expensive part of Taipei. Close to many fast food joints. Staffs here need a bit of training in customer service.

Super Nice Stay!

Reviewed By mrsshimchangmin

We stayed here for two nights. We arrived midnight (around 2AM - from TPE airport ride 1819 bus to The Ambassador Hotel and take a cab from there to the hotel for around 140ntd). The hostel staff is only till 10PM but they left us keycard enevelope at the lobby for us to self check-in. It was hassle free, though we need to fix the bed by ourselves. No slippers provided, no bath towels as well, so please bring your own. What do they provide are toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner and face towel. They have shared kitchen where you can cook. The location is great, few mins walk from Nanjin Sanmin Station and Family Mart just downstairs. I booked the hostel as it was the closest one from Taipei Arena, I had to attend a concert there (it was only one station away). The only thing though are the toilet. They kinda smell. Which whenever I have to use it I do not breathe, but it was clean really but it kinda stinks.

TW Hostel

In the busy streets of Ximen shopping district, a historic looking building with white washed bricks stands in the middle of Hankout street. With no prominent signs to be seen, its elegancy in whiteness adorned with hints of greens seeks the attention of passersby to stop and wonder the story behind this building. A middle aged man, genuine smile, and always on standby to help each and every traveler staying at this hostel is the very owner of TW Hostel – Mike, and working together behind him is his wife. Commuting from Taiwan to Singapore was not a rare thing for Mike in his past job. As a result of the frequent travels, he was able to experience the youth hostels in Singapore and he began to love the friendly styled budget hostels he’d stayed at. Youth hostels around the world exist for people from different countries to meet and become roommates as they “bunk” together. Distinctive from business hotels, hostels offer a closer interpersonal relationship and warmth between person.

Accommodating and Homey

Reviewed By jluken

I was the only guest in the main building. I stayed in a solo room near a shared bath. I've been assisted very well by the hotel staffs with my urgent requests and queries. Place is small but very homey. Near a breakfast spot, massage parlor and convenience stores. Easily accessible to the MRT and Ximen Main Area. I will definitely stay here again when I come back to Taipei.
