Second time I'm staying there. All perfect. Try to stay in "mixed dorm with balcony", it's on the 6th floor and much more private than staying on the 2nd floor where the reception is situated - and it has it's own big and comfortable "private" common area.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The hostel was very clean, from the room to the showers to the kitchen. I enjoyed the free toiletries and coffee that was available. Communication from staff was very clear, particularly as I needed to self check-in (as I was arriving in the middle of the night). The location itself is a quite area so there weren't any disturbances at night and I felt safe walking back to the hostel from the subway.

    Most I like this hostel is their location, convenient to 228 peace park, it is beautiful. The NTU station is located in the park. From the hostel to the right side is going to Ximen. It is worth walking down to have the RuRUO FAN( Braise Mince pork rice) in Ximen. Great location! However, nothing is perfect. If you stay on the first floor, you probably need to carry up your heavy lunggage. Because the small elevator is on the 2nd floor.
