Housed in a historic building registered by Taipei City Government, a few steps away from Dihua Street, OrigInn Space is a place full of nostalgic atmosphere, old story, 60s - 70s Nordic furniture and music. Free WiFi is featured throughout the property.

We stayed for five nights, and felt almost like we were living there by the end of the trip. The location is great – you have one of Taipei’s most interesting neighbourhoods on your doorstep, and can enjoy it before/after the day trippers have gone home. The property itself has a lot of character and has been nicely fitted out. Loved having a record player in the room, and getting occasional visits from the house cat. Speaking of the cat: it has the run of the property and is the only member of “staff” who’s on site during the night. Guests can get a discount on coffee at the cafe on the ground floor, though it doesn’t open until 11am so you’ll have to go elsewhere for breakfast (try the congee restaurant opposite the market).

Conveniently set in the Wanhua District district of Taipei, 伍貓喵舍Cat5mewomeow is set 500 metres from MRT Ximen Station, 600 metres from Bopiliao Old Street and 700 metres from Huaxi Street Tourist Night Market. It is located 500 metres from The Red House and provides a lift. The guest house has private entrance.

I'd like to gate keep this room but it's also a good feeling to share with co-travellers a gem such as this place. The room still looks new and it is indeed just right for 1 person coz of the sizes of bed and room, but it is a very comfortable one. I had a good sleep every night. Additionally, It has all the those important details you would want in an accommodation- ref, washer, blower, slippers, hangers. I also truly appreciate the thoughtfulness of the host to prepare all those snacks for the guest. Location is superb! lots of food choices and transpo options. I would definitely stay here again without thinking twice.

Set in Taipei, 600 metres from Ningxia Night Market, NingXiaYah Stay offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and express check-in and check-out. The property is located 1.7 km from The Red House, 1.5 km from MRT Ximen Station and 2.6 km from Bopiliao Old Street. The guest house features family rooms.

We stayed in several hotels in Taipei and honestly this is the best one we stayed at and the cheapest. It is really good value for what you get. The reason why is not heavily reviewed is due to the fact that you HAVE TO have line in order to check in (which was no problem for us as we had a Taiwanese SIM card with data and LINE), but I can understand how the system can be overwhelming for foreigners that don’t even know what line is and have no data on their mobile when reaching the hotel. My suggestion is that the wifi passcode is being shared upfront so that people can communicate with the staff and not dependent on their own data plans.

    Free hot drinks, biscuits & noodles at the reception lobby located at the 3rd floor as the hotel does not have a restaurant. But, can get reasonably priced local hot food and drinks from an eatery across the street in the morning if one can speak Mandarin or the local dialect. Good to try and eat like the locals. The hotel is located about 250 metres away from the NTU MRT station which runs the Red LIne (Tamsui/Xiangshan). The room is big and comfortable with a sofa set.

    It's my second time staying at this lovely hostel. This time, I stay at the ample sized twin room with private bathroom and i love it! The location is cool as it's just 500 m. to 2 mrt stations including the one heading to the airport. So, very very convenient.
