Reviews of Norden Ruder Hostel Taichung

Love this place, clean and very Zen. Feels very comfortable, and the location is right opposite the Taichung train station. There is a kitchen where you can use the cutlery and utensils and also make coffee. There's also a food court at the station with various cuisine. Miyahara is just 5 minutes walk from the hostel. I think this place is suitable for single female travellers.

Nice roof top

Very nice stay at norden ruder taichung! The place is beautiful, very chill. Is also super near to the taichung train station

Good price and great location opposite Taichung station and few minutes' walk to Miyahara. Minus point-hotel policy to change to non-disposable hotel slippers (troublesome and not hygienic) before entering room and no privacy with bench and people hanging right outside our room.

The hostel is conveniently located near the Taichung railway station, providing easy access to convenience stores, several nice restaurants, and famous tourist spots such as Miyahara. The interior decoration of the hostel is modern with a pleasant Nordic vibe. The public area offers an excellent view of the Taichung station, providing a relaxed atmosphere - I thoroughly enjoyed it! The room, including the shared bathroom, is very clean and well-maintained. Additionally, the travel logs inside the room document the experiences of previous guests, which was a delightful and enriching read. The only issue I encountered was that the air conditioning inside the room wasn't cool enough, which posed a challenge during hot September nights.

Overall, a great stay. Very clean and affordable, perfect for solo travelers. The location is excellent, with easy access to the train station. The only downside is the centralized air conditioning, as it doesn't seem to provide much airflow. Rating: 8.5/10.

This hotel located near the old train station. If you took the highspeed rail to Taichung you have to transfer to a bus or a railway train to get to the hotel. There are no MRT station near the hotel. Either you take a taxi or bus. The room has a maximum of two persons, I stayed with a roommate since the room I booked is a dormitory. The room is super clean and big enough for one person, with one shower room shared by two roommate. The are laundry and dryer available. There is a rooftop where you can enjoy the star at night. I will definitely stay here again if I ever return to Taichung.

Room was clean and good for solo traveller. The common areas were also pretty nice to relax. Also just walking distance to Taichung railway station (and bus stops which will take you all over Taichung) so it is good. Have to tap in using the card given to you to access your own floor, so feel safe as well. I love the rooftop area where I can just drink and wind down after a hard day travelling. Only complaint is the air con in the room doesn't seem to be working so well, so it might feel quite warm (I travelled in the summer). Also the blinds are not good enough to block out all the light coming from outside, so be mindful of that. Otherwise, a pretty good stay for a short trip in Taichung, and even with quite a few homeless people outside around the area, still felt pretty safe even at night

The hotel was sooo clean. Strategic location. Friendly staff. Interior deco so nice. Love the rooftop area. Will definitely stay here again when i visit Taichung in future.

The room are neat,clean and the private bathroom/toilet have bidet..... Every corner in the common room is genetic-esthetic,and I love the ambience. The staff are super friendly. The location is super close to the Taichung Train Station and a few steps to Miyahara and lots of Caffe surround the areas. I am really enjoying our stay,and I will surely go back to Norden hostel if I visit Taichung.

Great location with affordable price. Clean and well-maintained . Friendly staffs as well. Definitely recommend for budget travellers.

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel! The location near Taichung Station was perfect, and the shared room was clean and private. The common area was spacious and cozy, offering breathtaking views of Taichung. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and scenic stay in Taichung.

The location is very very convenient and it's so near the train station. The room and environment are clean and neat while the common area with kitchen area are very good. However there is no table inside the room we stayed so somehow we encountered difficulties to pack & unpack our items for a family. It may cause some problems for families with kids or babies if we need to handle the daily chores inside the room. We would like to send our special appreciation to the front desk staff during our checkout date for helping us to get in touch with a Tainan contact point.

The hostel was very nice, they had tea and cookies around the clock and the staff was very friendly. The room was nice but the window I had was not going to the outside but the inside. Just be aware of this. Also if full, I think it is quite noisy because sound isolation is quite bad. Otherwise very good. Be aware, this is not the high speed train station in Taichung, but the normal one.
