2-Star Hotels in Taiwan, China

The problem is the disco noise. Since the 2xx floor is assigned first, Rm 260 and Rm 261 are near a mid-night bar and the disco music will be continuing until 03:00 a.m. Moreover, there is a partition door between Rm 260 and Rm 261. All the sounds are shared (u can see in my 1st few photos). DON'T FORGET: BRING TWO PAIRS OF EARPLUGS (just in case u lose 1 earplug!). As u can see the Smile sign in my photo, of course you could book the hotels near the Smile Comma because those are near XiMen. However, I think, the noise level around this area is not acceptable. (Nice to remind you again, the automatic assigning system of the machine near the Smile sign entrance, is realistically automatic. You cannot change to other rooms with better sound-proof location.) : )

I love the concept of the hostel. We choose the twin bedroom. Just a small space consist of just a twin (bunk)bed. Below they put a sofa that can be use as a bed as well. So another (third) person can sleep there. Wash basin, and shower is inside the room but toilet is outside. Communal toilets have bidets which is major love for us Malaysians. Complete enough amenities for a traveller like us that will always be outside anyway. There are pantry with hot water and fridge. But u have to bring ur own cups and utensils. There is one washing machine and one dryer upstairs that can be used before 10pm as to avoid disturbing sleeping guests. Other self service laundry available nearby. Recommend stay for people on the go.

Pros: Great location in central Taipei. The bedding was clean. Price was good. There is a common room with kitchen in the basement. The lockers were good to put your bags away in securely. Check out time of 11.30am was more generous than most places. The water in the showers was a good temperature. Cons: The guy I got on the check in was curt to the point of rudeness. The toilet seat in the male dorm kept falling down, so you could stand peeing trying to hold it up or pee through the hole. Not ideal. Lots of mosquitoes in the basement. There are endless little signs telling you not to do certain things and that “violators” will be fined - this didn’t seem like the fun implied by the name “Fun Inn”. The toilets smelt like pee - quite possibly due to the aforementioned toilet seat issue.

The location is very convenient to MRT and a few Places of Interest in Taipei. If you can walk aprox 4-5km you can reach places like Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall, National Palace Museum, Lunghsan Temple and many more. In actual fact i walk all the way to Taipei 101.  The hostel provide adequate facilities and privacy. At the end of the day it's very much depending on your expectation.  It's my first visit to hostel, I think what you really need is just a pair of ear plug to sleep at night. And since we are sharing room with a few people, if smell is a concern you can always place air freshener near your bed.  If you intend to check in between 8pm to 10am, pls make sure you know how to enter the hotel, as there aren't any hotel staff there. You need to now how to press the number to come in. Or wait for other Guest to pass by before opening door for you. 

Ximen Wow Hostel is a fantastic choice for travelers looking to explore Taipei. Located in the heart of Ximending, it offers easy access to shopping, dining, and transportation. The hostel is clean, modern, and well-maintained, with friendly staff who are always eager to assist. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, with essential amenities provided. The common areas are inviting, making it a great place to meet fellow travelers. Whether you’re traveling solo or with friends, Ximen Wow Hostel provides a welcoming atmosphere and great value for money. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Taipei!

This is a good place to stay if you need to be very near to Taipei Main Station and Taoyuan Airport MRT, with the latter just less than 5 minutes to the ticketing and platform area. Few steps only from Y13 exit of Taipei City Mall underground, to get to the MRT exits Y16 and Y20 is easily reached on the opposite side below. Word of caution though, the hotel does not have any lifts which maybe troublesome for those with heavy luggage. However, once you reach the reception at level 2 via stairs at the main entrance, the rooms inside are relatively big enough at a low price compared to nearby hotels on this area. Safe locker and fridge is also provided with a sofa near the bed, though having a room with no windows means the dirt might accumulate on some of the corners. The amenities are at level 6 such as the laundry area and main breakfast/eating area. The breakfast included on this booking is good enough to start the day, consisting of dumplings, baos and bread with spreads. Vending machines for coffee and tea is present, and I appreciate the hotel’s initiative for us to self clean the utensils, plates and mugs after use. Housekeeping though is only done once unless requested. Instead of key card, actual keys are used to access the rooms. The card included is for the main entrance for use when arriving late at night. Overall I still experience a comfortable stay and might consider it again.

This hotel offers the cheapest price for a solo tourist who likes to stay in a single room as always. Besides, the location is super convenient. It's right next to the taipei station. Toilet and shower are shared with other guests, but they are very clean. I will stay here next time when I visit Taipei. Thanks a lot

It's actually good and pretty much cheaper for a group of friends travelling together. Having a common area for the toilet and bath is okay, since it's being cleaned everyday, plus it gives us a lot of time travel compared to our other group of Friends booked with a nearby hotel with only 1 toilet and bathroom. FEEDBACK: It'll be better if they have a microwave and a fridge at their pantry area to at least help guests heat up something for snack specially during midnight

The location is good and clean. There is no breakfast but there are many restaurants nearby, which is very convenient. You can order again next time if there is a discount.

It is a 2.5-star hotel if u wanna be sure. I do not recommend this hotel if u have some expectations for the place you stay. We were unlucky to get a room that has mouldy wall and malfunctioning air-condition sensor and a basin the drains water slow. Services are not available in the late evening and night? So, if anything occurs, then no help will be provided. On my side, I book the wrong room size 16m² for 4 adults and 2 big luggage, 1 medium, and 1 small. It was squeezy for us as we needed to pack for our last few days in taiwan. The only good thing is that it is located in ximending, where's lots of tourist's hotspots are at. But I definitely would not come here again.

The aunt at the counter was very nice and helped us with many introductions. She also helped us upgrade to a corner window room. Overall, we had a very clear view of the land and sea, the Kaohsiung Central Park Christmas tree, and the Yinxi drone. If the toilet could be larger, Really perfect❤️

This is the best one I stayed so far. 1st floor has ton of space to eat chill or work, then going up to my floor, the hallway is wide, my bed doesn’t squeak, they made the bed for you, you don’t have to undo the bedding at checkout, and there are personal items locker with your own jacket hanger section above in the room. The bathroom on my floor is big: hair drying area (3-4), 4 sinks, aisle of shower and toilet! The staff is pretty helpful too!

The location of this hostel was a major highlight—just a 7–9 minute walk to the Formosa Boulevard MRT Station and 5–7 minutes to the bustling Liuhe Night Market. However, the room felt noticeably smaller compared to the bathroom, and there wasn’t even a chair, so I had to sit or lie on the bed the entire time. Another downside was the poor soundproofing. For light sleepers, I’d strongly recommend bringing earplugs to ensure a good night’s rest. Overall, it’s a convenient option if location is your priority, but the lack of soundproofing and limited room space might be a dealbreaker for some.

Things I like: Nice atmosphere: I met a new friend in this hotel and chatted with him in the common area. Spacious: the rooma and the bed are spacious. Convenient: super near to the metro station and the night market. Got plenty of breakfast shops nearby. Socket: 2 sockets for international plug and 2 for local plug. Things to improve: Security: The ”locker” in the room cannot be locked(even if you bring your own lock). The small locker outside is too small for laptop(only available for phone and wallet). Cleanliness: I don't think they change the blanket everytime but they don't provide blanket cover. Water: no cold water refill, only hot water.

Location is good, just within the night market. However need to note of the step before the toilet, my aunt didn't notice and trip over it injuring her leg.

The room was very small and the bathroom didn't even have hand sanitizer. The soundproofing is very poor. We live on the third floor. We woke up 4 or 5 times in the middle of the night. There were vehicles entering downstairs and we heard them. I don’t know what was knocking next door in the middle of the night. It was very noisy upstairs. People passing by outside the door could hear everything. The air conditioner The control screen is very bright, but I can't turn it off, so I can't sleep at all. I also gave up on breakfast. There were blood stains on the mattress and quilt. I saw it when I woke up. It was very scary. I had to wait for a long time to get to the lift. The location is convenient and close to the racing park. The hotel staff are also quite friendly.

The hotel is in a great location, right next to the MRT station. This is my first time staying in a backpacker mixed room. Luckily, my fellow guests were quite quiet. The accommodation is well maintained. Thanks for the breakfast, the freshly made egg salad was delicious. One of the hair dryers on the 3rd floor lost power after less than a minute.

The environment is nice and clean, the room is quite big, the location is convenient, it's in the alley of Liuhe Night Market, the price is cheap, the service staff can't be said to be enthusiastic but the attitude is not bad either, I will stay again if I have the chance!

It was a great experience. I forgot to ask the front desk if I could turn off the stereo last time (because it continued to play after turning off the lights, which affected my rest). I asked this time, and the front desk politely guided me on how to turn it off, so I had a good sleep. Cool! ! ! ! The sanitary facilities are very nice and the soundproofing is also very good. I didn't hear any noise from other tenants. The price here is quite cheap. It's great. But I forgot to take photos of the interior, so I’ll post a landscape photo to make everyone happy.

It was located near the center of town and was convenient to access. Finding it was a tad tricky due to it being in an alleyway. This would be the premier choice if you're looking for a cheap, spartan, yet extremely clean place to sleep. Showers and toilets are shared. Access is by keyed combinations sent to one's phone by text, which was unusual. There were rooms that were accessed by more traditional keys and keycards.

It is near the old town, within walking distance. Although the hotel does not have comprehensive facilities, the room is very clean. I stayed in a suite, which is very suitable for family travel. The equipment in the room is taken care of very carefully. It feels very good. There is also an underground parking lot, which is convenient for travel. Recommended for family travel groups.

The B&B is very close to Guohua Street. It is a quiet place in a busy city. The room is very clean and has smart home. It is a great B&B.

If you come on Friday or Saturday, there happens to be Wusheng Night Market nearby, and there is also a 60-yuan breakfast coupon that can be redeemed at many nearby breakfast shops. I think the Cp value is quite high, but it is a bit inconvenient for boys to go downstairs to wash and use the toilet.

The room itself is okay in general. It took us sometime to find the stay as there’s no visible sign to show the name of the stay and a couple of stays are in the same series if building. You need to be aware of the street number. It is in a walking distance to a bus stop but the road is not very easy for wheel luggage. There is no staff to check you in so remember to share an accessible phone number for them to reach you to send you information in advance to get in.

It’s a very tight space for 4 people and the bed squeaks a lot, I can’t do anything without bothering the roommates. Same type where you have to do your own beddings and take it out after you’re checking out. The dorm door closes quickly on its own and it’s hard to prompt both the fence and door open at the same time! the washing and drying machine is amazing though! out of everything :)

The location is perfect, you can walk to the main attractions. Also, it's so convenient for public transport (buses and trains). The room was fine, the bathroom had mould and there was a water leak under the sink, they sorted that out leaving a towel on the floor(it wasn't a big leak tho). Didn't have any issues with the noise, there wasn't any during my stay. The staff didn't give me any information about the city or what to do close to the place(I didn't require either but it'd be nice to be offered it). They were quick sorting out my issue with the sink. Pleasant stay, I'd recommend it 100% All the signs are in Mandarin, be aware of that. Google lens can fix that🤓

Welcome to refer to personal opinions: (a bit much... The room I stayed in this time happened to be my least favorite style, with green walls and red blankets and curtains. I thought it was a bit unconventional, but overall it didn't affect my sleep, but it was a bit strange 😂. The code lock from the door to the room is very difficult to use. You have to read their operating instructions. There is a magnetic buckle after you get to the room. I personally feel that the magnetic buckle does not sense very well. Next, as soon as you enter the door, the bathroom has some basic toilets, sinks, and separate ones. The worst thing is that the shower head keeps dripping and the surface of the shower head is very unclean! ! ! (Very dirty😱) Then the switch didn’t show hot or cold water, but luckily all the water came out was hot water, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to stand it. There is also plastic garbage on the cabinet of shampoo and shower gel! ! ! I think this is an exaggeration. I really didn’t pay attention to cleaning. However, other trash cans are clean and the sink is quite big👍. Some tables in the guest rooms have hair dryers, electric mosquito swatters, etc., but I don't dare to drink the water they provide because it is not bottled, but a glass bottle that has not been cleaned and should not be left for long. I wish they could switch to packaged water. But it’s good that they provide a hair dryer👍. There is a rocking chair in the room which is quite comfortable. I recommend this! 👍👍There are two yellow sofas in the back, but I didn’t particularly want to sit on them, so I didn’t use them. There are 4 clothes hangers provided, and there is a trash can in the room and a toilet that are both too small. Although the TV in the room is a smart TV, it is an Ambo box, so I am not familiar with the control. And although there are YouTube and Netflix, YouTube is very laggy to use. When watching videos, it will freeze when there are advertisements, but ordinary TV stations like You can watch it on momo, movie channels, or news channels. As for the TV, it is almost impossible to control the TV from the bed. You have to stand up and face the Ambo box to control the TV. Overall, it is OK to use, but it is not perfect. Next comes the sockets. There are really few sockets. One is in the corner (charging in the corner is very inconvenient!!) and one is next to the desk. There are only two holes where you can plug in a hair dryer and a mobile phone. Some of the sheets on the bed are red. Although it looks a bit strange, it's okay to sleep on. However, the bed frame is an iron frame. If you keep moving it during sleep, it will keep making noises, but overall it's okay. The bath towel is not white, so I'm a bit hesitant to use it. I brought it myself. The room also provides a large mirror (full-length mirror). 👍 As for the main light, I was troubled at first because one of the lights kept flashing and was a bit broken. In addition, the room was dim. After reporting to the store, it improved. 👍👍 Additional information: There is a bus stop 3 minutes’ walk away~~very convenient👍 Generally speaking, the price is 500 a day on weekdays from Tuesday to Friday and you can stay in a double room~~ It is actually very cheap. If you don’t mind some minor problems and external conditions, you can stay here (if you don’t want to stay in a youth hostel) . Because it’s really cheap for 3 nights at only 1,600! ! 👍👍I will consider staying at this price next time, and I will not consider it if it goes higher.

The accommodation room is of medium size, the bathroom and the room are very clean. There is a parking space at the door. When parking, you need to be careful not to exceed the red line! This time I was issued a ticket due to parking issues, which somewhat affected my travel mood! I hope the hotel can give more reminders to hotel guests about parking, and also provide clear notices to prevent other people from having this happen again. There is freshly cooked milkfish porridge for breakfast, which both adults and children love!

This is my first time staying at the Narrow Alley Apartment. They are a self-check-in B&B. After adding Line, you will be given the room number and password. The room has a traditional key and the door has a password lock, so the security is ok. The B&B is a converted apartment and there is an elevator inside, which is awesome! Nearby are Tainan Guohua Street, Yongle Market, Shennong Street and other downtown food and sightseeing spots, which is very convenient. The environment is clean and tidy, and there are all kinds of hair dryers. The best thing is that there is Netflix, which is great for watching a movie before going to bed. In terms of price, the cost-performance ratio is extremely high, and it is cheap and affordable. Because it is not a holiday, it is at least half price, which is great!
