Backpacker Hostel Changchun
4.1/5253 Reviews
Taipei Arena
For the price and location it's a good hostel. The staff are friendly and helpful for the most part. My main complaint is that the shower areas are really hot, so you start to sweat as soon as you've showered. I think the hostel is a bit on the quiet side in the communal areas, but apparently all hostels in Taiwan are like that. Additionally, something I really appreciated about this hostel is they messaged me asking if I would arrive after 9 pm. Because I was going to, they left my key card in the lock boxes by the entrance, so I didn't have to pay the out-of-hours reception fee. If you will arrive after 9 pm, just let them know and they can sort this out for you.

Taipei Arena
The soundproofing effect of the single room is very poor. A group of people are making loud noises in the public area. They can hear clearly. I don’t want to come to the K book at the end. The other external traffic environment is very convenient. It is next to the Little Arena
Come Inn Taipei II
3.7/51 Reviews
Taipei Arena
Not too far in the Little Arena. Quarantine is a convenience store, convenient for shopping. There is a lift on the 4th floor and there are only a few stairs in front of the door. No WeChat ID was provided. I arrived early and it took a while to find my boss for inquiries. The boss is also considerate to let you put your luggage in early. awesome. Not ideal is that the electric system in the bathroom is too close to the shower, and I am very worried about the safety of leakage. It is recommended to remove the electric system. . I like the design atmosphere very much.
CHECK inn Taipei Nanjing
4.1/559 Reviews
Taipei Arena
I just happened to book a discounted price on the trip. I like the size of the room in the photo. Self-service check-in is available at three o'clock. You can store your luggage first. After checking in, the room is quite large. There is also a small sofa. The bathroom has wet and dry separation and a bathtub. The toilet is free of charge. Unfortunately, the musty smell in the room is very strong. The musty smell was so strong that it was difficult to sleep on the first night. I told the housekeeper the next day that it had been raining in Taipei recently and he would help me put on the dehumidifier. It's a little better. Thank you to the housekeeping staff for their help. There are many restaurants near the hotel, there is a bus station nearby, and the MRT is a little far away. If you have luggage and take the MRT, remember that there are escalators and elevators from Exit 2!
