Cavemen Hostel (Taipei Station Youth) Reviews

The hostel that I booked for 29Nov was full for 28Nov, so I chose a nearby hostel as there was a change in the original plan to come to Taipei. I read the poor reviews on this hostel and have mentally prepared for the small sleeping area, bathrooms and cleanliness. Luckily I left my luggage at the first hostel I booked and packed only a sling bag of one nite necessities. The room is small and the cubicle is really small, no space to but even a small backpack There were 6 bunk beds. I was assigned the upper bunk, there was a small drawer provided but at the bottle of the lower bunk which is not convenient for me to access. The steps to climb up the upper bunk are very vertical and challenging for me to climb especially coming down, there is only one staircase in the middle between 2 bunk beds, I literally have to swing my body to use the steps down! What is unbearable is the stench in the corridor and the pillow smell. The plus point is the spacious area near the reception for seating down and charging phone.

Average cleaness. Dont provide tower, shared bathroom among all rooms.

Very nice hostel. Highly recommended to book 4 beds room they are more comfortable. I am very satisfied of the facilities this hostel provides: kitchen, laundry, luggage storage, big common area and the location is super nice. The staff is super friendly and kind 🤗🤗🤗

The bed was very comfortable and clean, however, for the price, I did expect more in amenities. This hostle is really intended for backpackers, so you need to bring absolutely anything that you need. Facilities are adequate but you need to bring everything else with you that you may need. The location is average but it's very close to the Taipei Main Station. Overall, not bad.

The bathroom is slightly too small butoverall satisfying

Room was clean but the bed make so much noise which make me very conscious to flip and turn at night. A lot of shower cubicles and hairdryer.

It is one of the best hostel in Tainan. It is a book shop or a library themed hostel. The location is amazing with lot of cozy coffee shops and nice bars around or really nice and good restaurants and all the tourist places around. The receptionist is very welcoming and guide you to everything. She even can recommend you the places to visit, things to do, and recommend restaurants. The terrace of the hostel is amazing. It is quiet as well as the outside area is place where you can meet other people. Basically, you can work, you can make friends, you can talk. This is just an amazing place.

They have every basic facilities that a traveler needs, so it it ok. It is clean, no bugs, no odour, nice dining rooms for chatting. But for the beds, too close to each other, would have better space, so wont disturb each others.

Location is amazing for tourists. There is a distinct odor in the hostel. Space is okay in the bedding area. The storage space is limited to a small closet, so larger items may not fit especially when many people are checked in. Check in hours are extremely inconvenient and there is no way to contact the staff during off hours. If you were unable to check in before 2200, you are screwed until 9, and they won't want to check you in(you wasted your money). The garbage in the main area is constantly oferflowing and dirt/dust lines the corner of the floor.

Nice hostel in good area

Great hostel

A friend had stayed at this hostel before, and she recommended it to me, so I decided to stay here. I'm glad I stayed at this hostel! ■Good points - Very close to Taipei Main Station. About a 3-minute walk from the Z4 exit and about a 5-minute walk from the M8 exit. - Convenient with many shops nearby. Starbucks, Family Mart, Yoshinoya, Sosai Restaurant, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, etc. - Many shared toilets and showers, so I didn't have to wait in line. - The lobby was spacious, quiet, and comfortable. - Drinking water (hot water, warm water, cold water) was available for free. I was grateful to be able to stay hydrated in hot Taipei. - Friendly staff. ■Bad points - Trash was overflowing from the trash can in the lobby. The trash can was too small for the number of guests. Maybe they should collect trash from the trash can more frequently. - The hair dryer had a weak wind power, so it took a while to dry my hair. It would be nice if it had more power.

Very close to the train station. The reception staff introduced clearly. The shared bathroom space is streamlined. The air conditioner in the room for 6 people is not cold enough. The stuffy smell of travelers' shoes lingers in the room. The sound of the mattress on the upper bunk turning affects the sleep of the lower bunk.

I found temporary accommodation after watching the concert and couldn't get home in time. The landlady was very nice. The latest check-in time was 11 o'clock but she waited for us half an hour longer. Thank you very much. The location is very good. It only takes less than five minutes to walk to the China North Railway Station. Floor There are also two supermarkets and a McDonald's downstairs, which are highly recommended👍
