Fall for Taipei”

They have been so generous from the start. I needed to go on a trip at 9am and they kept my things safe until I got back at 9pm to check-in. Also, I left my shoes the day I checked out but they kept it for me until I returned after 2 weeks to Taipei. It was clean, quiet, a minute walk from Taipei Main Station, close to Tim Ho Wan and lots of convenience stores and fast food chains, and the staff were lovely. Would book again if I ever visit Taiwan in autumn season again. It is a perfect resting spot for solo travellers!

Great Location. Nice Staff. Highly Recommended.”

I went to Taipei amid the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak in Mainland China. The staff of Flip Flop were so caring that they provided their customers with free surgical masks and alcohol hand sanitiser at the reception. The facilities are always clean. There is just one thing to take notice is that there is no lift, so if you come with heavy luggage, please consider this point carefully. The location of Flip Flop is less than a kilometre to the nearest exit of the Taipei Main Station, which makes travelling around Taipei and Taiwan pretty easy. I would be here next time I travel to Taipei.

It’s located near to Taipei Station (10minutes walking), beside Q Square Mall. There’s a coin laundry at the basement of the hostel and water dispenser at the ground floor and 4th floor. Make sure you don’t bring oversize luggage, if not you’re going to carry to 5th floor yourself if your room is on the top floor.

I stayed for 4 nights by myself. The location was good, the hostel was just next to Taipei main station, there was a big mall across the street where you access to lots of food choices. The staff there was friendly, I didn't feel lonely when I was there even when I'm by myself. A good option for solo traveller.

Good location, opposite Q Square which can easily accessible to Taipei Main Station (MRT, High Speed Rail & Bus Station. It's a hostel, so do not expect service like 5 star hotel. It does not have lift. Be prepare to carry your own luggage upstairs. However, the staff on duty that time when I checked in has offered to help me carry the luggage to 3rd floor. Thank you & bravo to that staff. Shared bathroom is clean. Basic essential items like shampoo, body wash & hair dryer are available. Can enjoy hot pot - Haidilao even during midnight as it's located on the 4th floor of Q Square.

What I love about this hostel is their friendly and accommodating staff and their comfortable bed and blanket. They have free tea offered to guests. They offer a locker huge enough for a luggage, and they also have a smaller locker near the bed. It is near the Taipei Main Station and Bus Station. I will definitely book this place when I visit Taipei again!

Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The location is very accessible - near 7eleven, McDonalds, malls and most importantly the train station. It's very easy to locate, which is very helpful for first timers. The room is very very clean, and cozy. I didn't expect that much, but yes, it was worth it. If I were to come back visit Taipei, I'll still choose this hostel. It provided me the silence, comfort, and privacy that I needed during my stay. Highly recommended!
