Stayed once in 2009 and another time in Jan 2012. The hostel is conveniently located around Shihlin night market 士林夜市and on both occasions that I stayed here, the rooms were in different buldings in the Shihlin night market 士林夜市area but within walkable distance to the night market. Communication was mainly by email with Kevin and also via mobile when you... More

Kevin was really helpful and accommodating! I m impressed that I managed to book the room without hassle via email. It is cosy and location wise is convenient. It is just opposite to Shilin night market. I will definitely stay there again if I ever visit Taipei again!

I was looking to stay cheap in Taipei over the Christmas and New Year period as I knew room rates would not be too cheap.

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the place offered me not only affordable accomodation, but clean facilities... More
