SleepBox Hostel

Stayed at this hotel for 7days & 6 nights. The room was small although I would think its enough for us to sleep in and keep our luggages. Shared toilet&bath were clean. Shampoo and soap provided. They also have hairdryers. There are towels, slippers, and toothbrush for rent/sale. What we extremely liked is the location!! It’s a walking distance to Ximending (which was our favorite shopping place), bus stations, ATMs, MRT, Taipei Main Station, 7eleven (really good preheated foods!), drugstore (needed to go for my allergies!), and a lot more!! There were some mosquitos in our room although, they didn’t really bite. WiFi was extremely fast!!! For food souvenir shopping, there was a store near the hotel on way to Ximending! They offer better price than the what the night markets sell!! Also, not much people in that store since the location. I suggest looking around the hotel for shopping food souvenirs.

no slippers, no shower towels provided but shower room is so dirty. too mean. no place to hang my clothes and put my stuffs inside the shower room. Water always flow outside the shower room. During shower time lukewarm is not working sometimes. Bedroom size and cleanliness is still OK but uncomfortable bed and wifi is sucks! not recommended for long stay. Only 1night is enough!

simple design but kindda run down with unhygienic bedsheets

no tissue paper provided for the next day toilet not clean.

I stayed at the hotel for 4 days during my trip to Taiwan (intermittently though). What I was most disappointed was there were several mosquitoes in my room. I had two hard nights because of those mosquitoes. I believe the hotel may be able to score more stars if they pay more attention to hygiene (such as using insecticide).

The room was very good but needs a bit of cleaning. There were hair on our bed. Nevertheless, it was a great stay.

I admire and kudos to the receptionist lady, she was amazing. She was friendly and very accommodating. But the guy was'nt accommodating. The room was too small so if you have lots of luggages, expect it will be too difficult to move around. Despite being small, I still like it because it's private and the a/c is functional and there's tv as well. The restroom is okay but not so good. I like the ambiance and the location is superb. Price is affordable.

nice location from the taipei station~

Great location and value for money. The room is rather small, but good enough for resting after a long day in taipei.

In my opinion, it very close to shopping center ( ximending ) so, it very goos for location. The staff is good and very nice :)

Nice staff.. check in 4 pm.. but not suitable for those with knee problem cause need climb up and doawn the ladder.. otherwise a good place

Will recommend to friends.

Good location, 5 mins to Ximen night market by walk. Cute, friendly staffs. The box are fit with only 1 person but look like the pictures, very clean, and I had exciting experiences here. In the last day I stayed here, for objective reason, they changed the Twin room for me, very cute room and comfortable. Good price with everything.

Clean and comfortable

Besides the location, there's nothing good to say about Sleep Box. The room we had was a 4-person room featuring 1 bunk bed with two layers (with the top bunk being very dusty and dirty) and a private bathroom. I thought the private bathroom was a plus, however, it made the room smell moldy and musky. The smell hit you immediately and gets worse as the nights go on. I was only able to bare through it because I was there for only two nights and spent most of my days out and about. Although that would be the case for most travelers, the reason to book a good hotel or hostel is so that you can relax and sleep well at night or feel like its a home away from home. Unfortunately, that is not the case for Sleep Box. Warning #1: WIFI SUCKS! Could barely ever connect or run my laptop at normal speed. Warning #2: They'll charge you an extra $200NT for checking in after 12am. Although I understand some places have this policy, this was NEVER stated on the site when I was booking SleepBox.

Sleepbox Hostel is 5-10 minute walk (depending on your pace) to Ximen Station Exit 4 and NHU Hospital Station Exit 1. A lot of convenience stores (7/11, Family Mart, Hi Life, etc) are in the vicinity. I felt that the lady receptionist (forgot her name) was not very friendly though. If you book this hostel, make sure to bring your own towel (or rent the hotel's) and bring your own cup/utensils if you are planning to eat in the hostel.

Good location and near with xi men station bus stop to xi men. moreover the staff are friendly and helpful. Do booked early to get cheap price.

U will be very regret if book quad room, very tiny room, even hard to move in the room! No dustbin provided. Bad service from one staff who wearing spec (looks like manager). If you want to book this hotel pls book single, double or triple but not quad, terrible small!!!!!

Value 4 $: Reasonable for its location. Within walking distance. I was given a very spacious room (which looks like a room for the disabled) for the same usual price due to my big luggage. Location: Ximending Pedestrain Area nearby and many bookstores, fashion shops, food stalls all around. Keep a lookout for back alley surprises. Cleaniness: Corners not cleaned up. Visible dust. Staff: Did what they are suppose to. Didnt care to chat much. Fac: Public microwave, fridge, water dispenser, washing machine and dryer, pc station, mini scoccer table, etc. Toilet & bathroom depending on what type of room.

Our flight is 2am so we requested the hotel to pick us up in the airport but they didn't reply to us. So we ride the bus going to taipei main station(NT120each) then taxi going to sleepbox(NT105). When we get there, the man in the front desk told us that he's been waiting for us for a long time(though they knew our flight). When we're paying already, he said that we need to pay additional NT100 per hour because we came in after 12mn. I suggest that they should mention it in the agoda page so that we are aware of that. 😐The room is smaller compare to the "press release" sq meter area. 😣If you just want to sleep, and you're in a tight budget, we think this is enough. 😜
