Great value for money”

It is near exit 6 if Ximen station. It is located in Ximending, a famous nighlife spot in Taipei. I booked it with my mother and niece, the place is nice for me and the location is great. However, I think the hostel is more suited for solo or couple backpacker and not for a family because the hostel is not that big and you will join other travellers in a dormitory type room. It is a great value for money because of its location.

Nice and Clean Hostel - Friendly staff - Great location

I've enjoyed my vacation in Taiwan, and this is partially due to me staying at this hostel. The staff is very friendly and helpful on things to do around. The location is great as well; three minutes away from Ximen station in the buzzing Ximending district. Rooms, showers, kitchen are nice, clean, and functional. For solo travelers it's also nice since you'll be able to meet a lot of fellows travelers. Should I come back to Taipei and look for affordable yet excellent hostel service, I'll stay at Ximen WoW Hostel.

Awesome place to stay!”

I’m glad we chose this hostel. It’s located right on ximending night market, it’s very accessible to everything you’ll ever need & MRT is just a few steps away. The hostel has a very homey vibe to it & feels nice to just hangout in the lobby or veranda. The facilities are clean and the rooms are comfortable, it doesn’t feel like we’re with a lot of people in the room as the thick curtains & divisions provide privacy. We also got to meet awesome people while at the hostel & the staff are friendly. The lockers are very secure too. We felt safe staying in Ximen Wow & very much enjoyed our stay here. Can’t complain about anything. We’ll definitely stay here again if we visit taipei again someday!😸
