Good”
was in a female dorm room (for 4) and the room just quite small that when one person opened the suitcase for packing, actually there is no room to walk. And there is extra charge for late check in (after 11 pm) is okay for a short stay, room was clean tho.

GREAT STAY”
We had a great stay at Backpackers Hostel. We had trouble finding the place since it was down an alley. It's very close to Ximending district and walking distance from Ximen MRT station. The AC inside the room is super cold. The beds can feel flimsy when climbing up but the beds are soft and comfy (love that the comforters are thick since the AC can cool the room real fast) I just hope they provided a table or somethung where we can store our things. We ended up putting all our bags and souvenirs on the floor. We were also on the highest floor and it sucks to bring down luggage since theres no elevator. It's also a negative to go up and down the stairs in case you forget something. They have a coffee and water station. But towels, slippers and other amenities are for sale instead of being included on the price of the room. Our room alao had this weird exposed pipe thing so the water coming from upstairs can be heard. Theres also no breakfast included, not really a con for us since theres a nearby 7-11 which provided amazing food.

Not bad”
This is my first time staying at a backpacker hostel, the room is small but decent. Only thing to note is that the location is quite some distance away from ximen station (about 10-15mins walk) ps. There was no wifi on my first day of stay and even when they did the signal was very weak (i was staying on the 3rd floor), perhaps installing a router on every other floors will be nice? pps. No towel provided, though you could bought it for a small fee from the host.

One of the best hostel in Taiwan. Located at the heart of the city, easy access to public transportation, night markets and malls. The room is clean, staff can speak and understand english. Thank you Backpackers hostel Ximen! Hope to see you again :D Love from Philippines.

Great location. Clean room.”
This hostel is in the BEST location. Ximen is a very cool district with lots of bars, shops, theaters and restaurants in walking distance. The Ximen station is only a 10 minute walk as well. The room we had was very clean and affordable. The curtains around the beds provide privacy. Coffee and laundry in the basement was nice. The only downside was the stairs, but not a big deal because we're in shape. Anyone with mobile disabilities should note there is no elevator. Otherwise, great stay!

Nice place, Friendly staff and Good location”
The hostel is about 5 mins walk from Ximen night market. It is very good price with private bathroom. The space in the room is enough for unpacking 2 big luggage. However, wifi is not work in my room. But it's not a big deal. The staff is also helpful. I recommend you to stay here!

Worth Staying For Travelers ”
Pros : Have an underground open space for u to chit chat with ur friends , have tv/pc for u to use if u are bored . Cons : I dunno whether is my problem or whatever it is , the dryer seems to unable to dry the clothes that we wash even thought we set the temperature very high but there is a dobi near the hostel which is more effective n price is almost the same with the hostel . Overall : Quite small for a quadroom but it is backpacker anyway 😂(im not a backpacker), It is clean and location is good for u to walk around the night market , mrt and also have convenient store nearby . 😀

Cheapest hostel in town! ”
My family booked this hostel because it was the cheapest out of all the hostels we’ve searched. And it was near Ximending which is a plus points. The staff we’re very attentive coz we have a slight problem and they helped us. Near the Taipei Expo Park too! If you’re looking for the graffiti walls, you will find all of it here!

Pros: - near the mrt ximen - affordable - accommodating staffs (they are so nice) they can speak english - the lounge )where you can eat with free coffee, tea and water - it has also laundry area/ service Cons: - no elevator (it’s okay if you are really just a backpacker but if you have a big luggage, struggle is real) but staffs are offerring a help. - there is an additional pay if you check in 11pm-6am depends on the time. We arrived there at 4am and it is closed and there’s no way you can enter,only guests with card key can enter. We don’t have the key yet since we haven’t checked in. Luckily for us, there’s a guy outside (he’s taking a phone a call) he let us borrow his key card then upon entering, there is no staff to accommodate us. There’s a phone number you can contact but we don’t have sim card yet for taiwan. Then the heaven sent guy called the number using his phone, we are so relieved that it was answered coz we are really tired that time. We are really thankful.
