Hostels in Taiwan, China

Location is convenient to Taipei Main Station. Room is clean, and with nice breakfast. Definitely will recommend to friends looking for a good place to stay. Thanks Main Inn 👍🏻

The hotel is conveniently located opposite Taipei Main Station, making transportation very easy, and there are many dining options nearby. However, the room was really small, with hardly enough space for two people to move around. On the bright side, the staff were very friendly and cleaned the room and changed towels daily. It's a convenient choice for business travelers.

It’s a decent budget-friendly hotel in Taipei. The rooms are bigger than most rooms you can find in Taipei with the same price. Although cleanliness of the room once you checked in is a bit questionable, they addressed it right away by offering to clean/vacuum the floor and we’re given the option to change rooms. The first room they showed us smelled like cigarettes so we asked to be moved to a room that didnt smell. We moved to a room that was okay, but had some little trash here and there and some markings on the floor/carpet. They cleaned before we can finally settle in. We asked the following day to change rooms because the AC in the unit is not getting the whole room cold. Since our room is in higher floor it tended to get hot. They graciously let us change rooms again, and that’s the room we stayed in for the rest of our 8 nights with them. The neighborhood offers great food options and a park nearby so it’s really nice. However, if you want to be in shopping center or close to ximending then this is not the hotel for you.

Fantastic location! The hotel is surrounded by plenty of bubble tea shops, snack options, local eateries, restaurants, and convenience stores. Metro stations and bus stops are also just a short walk away. Daily housekeeping includes fresh towels and trash clearance, though bed linens are only changed every third day. Having daily linen changes would make the stay even better!

The hotel is ok but the room is big. The restaurant in the hotel is a must try. My daughter LOVEs every dishes she ordered. She said, this is the best food she had in Taiwan, so we had two dinners at the hotel. The location of the hotel is not great! We couldn’t get into the local buses to go to Xitou nor to Taichung because the buses were full from the original starting point. However, the hotel offers fare shuttle service to and from Xitou but not Shanlinxi. The front desk lady drove us to Xitou, she was GREAT and very accommodating, she took us to Xitou bus station outside of the normal schedule hours so we can catch the bus back to Taichung. We would come back again with our car to get to different areas in Xitou again.

Been staying in this hostel for 4 times. The hostel is reachable via ximen mrt exit 4, and the surroundings have many foods and convenience stores. The room I stay in with 8 people and being assigned lower bed. The room and bed are clean. The wifi is strong, so I can work without any issue. Overall, I have a great stay over there.

The room is clean and tidy, and the transportation is convenient. The view from the window is beautiful, and the night view is even more stunning! You can see Xiziwan Port in the distance and the exhibition hall up close – an unbeatable sea view! It's truly a delight to the eyes. Every summer, when we come to Kaohsiung, we always book this hotel first. The owner is very kind; even though we only visit once a year, she already remembers us. It feels familiar and welcoming. I hope someone takes over the management of 85 Sky Tower soon so it can regain its former glory. But then again, I worry that these sea-view rooms will become difficult to book and much more expensive!

This time I brought my wife to Taichung for her birthday, and we stayed at the Norway Forest Cultural Center for the first night. We arrived early to drop off our luggage and immediately experienced the friendly and polite service, which made me feel happy and warm. Although there was a minor issue with the air conditioning in our room when we checked in that evening, the front desk manager came up and helped us switch to a larger and more comfortable room. Their service attitude was also super nice. It's no wonder this hotel has reviews above 9 – it's absolutely deserved. If I have the chance to come again, it will definitely be my first choice! 🥰

A Serious Failure in Management and Guest Service I have never experienced this level of poor service and lack of management oversight at a hotel. Throughout my stay, I had to repeatedly request housekeeping, yet my room was still not cleaned as expected. More seriously, there was even an occasion when I needed to use the bathroom and discovered that there was no toilet paper available. I immediately brought this issue to the attention of the front desk. However, despite making a formal complaint, the exact same problem occurred again the following day. At that point, this could no longer reasonably be considered a simple oversight or an isolated housekeeping mistake. The hotel had already been made aware of the problem, yet nothing appeared to have been done to prevent it from happening again. The most disappointing part is that these issues continued until the day I checked out. After repeatedly reporting the same problems without seeing any meaningful improvement, I eventually stopped complaining simply because I no longer believed that doing so would make any difference. A hotel may occasionally make a mistake — that is understandable. What is unacceptable is failing to correct a problem after a guest has already brought it to management's attention. This reflects a serious breakdown in communication between departments, inadequate supervision, and a lack of accountability at the management level. Basic housekeeping and essential bathroom supplies are not unreasonable requests. They are fundamental standards that guests should be able to expect without having to repeatedly chase the hotel for them. What concerns me most is that the hotel appeared to have multiple opportunities to correct the situation, yet failed to do so. This suggests that the issue is not simply with an individual staff member, but with the way the hotel’s service operations are being managed and supervised. This experience seriously damaged my trust in the hotel and left me with a very negative impression of its overall management and service standards. A hotel’s reputation is built on how it treats guests, especially when something goes wrong. Unfortunately, in this case, the hotel failed not only to deliver basic service, but also to respond effectively when those failures were brought to its attention. I sincerely hope management does not dismiss this as a minor housekeeping issue. The repeated nature of these problems, combined with the lack of effective follow-up, represents a significant management failure and can seriously damage guest trust, customer satisfaction, and ultimately the hotel’s reputation. For me, the most disappointing part was not that a mistake happened. It was that the hotel was given multiple opportunities to fix it — and chose not to.

The room we’re we stay have mosquito so I’m not so comfortable but it was good, I will recommend it and book again next time because the location is convenient near to Taipei main station 😊
