Situated in Taipei and with Taipei Main Station reachable within less than 1 km, Old Door Hostel & Bar features a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The property is located 1.3 km from MRT Ximen Station, 1.5 km from The Red House and 2.4 km from Bopiliao Old Street. Huaxi Street Tourist Night Market is 2.5 km from the hostel and Qingshan Temple is 2.6 km away.

The hostel location is really accessible. It’s nearby the train station, night markets and stores. And there’s a bar downstairs if you want to have a drink. The staff were all friendly and helpful especially Yaya and Alice. They helped me with directions if I want to go somewhere I’m not familiar with. Also, the place is very clean including the bathrooms. Facilities were complete— toiletries (shampoo, shower gel, make up remover, sunblock, etc.) laundry and drying area, wifi on each floors and hair straightener and dryers are available. They also gave me a free cake when they found out from my passport that it was my birthday 🥰

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, We Come Hostel offers accommodation in Taipei. It features a library, a terrace and a cozy shared lounge on site.

Just a few steps from Dihua Street, We Come Hostel is 650 metres from Ningxia Night Market and 800 metres from Taipei Bus Terminal. The hostel is within 500 metres of Taoyuan Airport MRT (Taipei Main Station - Exit 6) or MRT Beimen Station (Exit 2). It is 1 km or 1 Taipei metro ride from MRT Beimen Station to Ximending shopping district.

It's a little bit more expensive than the other hostels but you get a great accomodation! Everything in this hostel is perfectly organized! Friendly stuff. The lady can speak English perfectly. Everything is very clean, the bathrooms are amazing. You can use the refrigerator and you get free drinking water. The huge common area is very comfortable if you want to hang around there. Every bed has a curtain for good privacy. In every room is an AC. I can't complain about anything. I stayed 2 months in total in many different places, even in Taipeh and this hostel was the best one I have been.

All guest rooms in the hostel are fitted with a computer. Featuring a shared bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, some units at Corner Hostel & Cafe also have a city view. At the accommodation all rooms include air conditioning and a safety deposit box.

The cleanliness and vibe are great, and the location which gives easy access to green, commute (MRT is only five min walk away, and it's a comfy walk) shops and eateries. It's surprisingly serene and unlike the hostels in the CBD this one's not bustling at all. The cafe downstairs is another surprise, it gives a great vibe and discount. Cats and dog are friendly and unbothering. I sat there to work for an afternoon and I was liking it. I could see green and people occasionally walking by, soothing. Staff is helpful and great in general. The interior is chic in design and absolutely clean. Cafe area is a free space where takein food and beverage are allowed post-five in the evening. There's a comfy and spacious public area in the second floor which is altered from an old accommodation area. Toilet and shower room are clean. Shampoo and washer are provided. Stable wifi connection included. What's most satisfying is the rooftop with an open terrace and the table and a few seats, where you can enjoy your time with a great view, covering greens and cool undermetro walk, with majestic mountains on the far left. It's also the social area where you can meet a lot of cool ppl and international travelers. I met a lot of cool friends and we had a great night together drinking snacking, laughing and chatting. And the whole stay was in reasonable price. All in all, it was a 10 out of 10 experience, coming from a seasoned international backpacker.

    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.
