My Comments:
The place is clean and tidy. It is well located near to the famous Xi Men Ding (西门町). It is only 5 minutes walk from Xi Men MRT station. For S$17 per night, I think this hostel is good value for money, and I cannot expect more for that price.

Xi Men Ding (西门町) is shopping area in Taipei, with restaurants/pubs. Staying there is nice and convenient.

The shopping street becomes a walking street after 6pm.



阿宗面线 (Popular and well known noodles, noticed that there is no seat, you have to stand and eat. I have tried, I don't really like it.)
