The room is clean and tidy. The mountain view is worthy.
Some of the travellers have lack of hygiene. Most travellers are elderly people.

Very close to train station, 7/11 for late night foods and some restaurant around hostel offer very good foods as well. These are only hostel with attached water in the toilets during my stay in Taiwan.

Poor
Location. The appeal I guess is the opportunity to interact with other people and get real information ( informed). In our case we got half the info on a tour and only stumbled upon critical aspects on how to book it) otherwise would have missed out.
Cross the road from the station.
Elevator
When hostels/ hotels keep arriving guests waiting to check (till the last minute) for no good reason ( other than they can) I think they are just not appreciating that these travellers have travelled far and chosen to stay at their establishment. I get it they need to clean the room, however, departing guests need to strip their beds of linen and towels and move them to a container in the hall 4 hours before, so there is very little to do.
Anyway, I didn’t like the catacomb like room. Absolutely nothing you can do in your room except slide into your little boxs. Here you are paying the same price as a descent hotel with amenity.
No towel ( extra money)
Water in corridor.
indifferent staff
Toast, cheese meat and jam spreads for breakfast.
No atmosphere common area around check in second floor. Cutesy messages and drawings on walls in the corridors means nothing to me, it doesn’t make the place any more appealing when it’s not possible to spend time in your catacomb. Yes saw the pictures on BC but I underestimated UGH. 3 bunk dorm for two.
No room to do anything or put luggage except under 1 bunk. A$110/ night.

Dedicated and caring front desk staff. Great pricing, especially for private rooms when available. Well-designed building.
Hostel is not very social. Broken curtain in my dorm room so had to switch rooms. Bottom bunk has low headroom. Barebones breakfast.

Good location. Room was of moderate size. Good communal kitchen. Liked the 3-D artwork in the stairway.
Breakfast was meager-just sliced white bread with a few toppings.

Very friendly staff and a hostel one can tell they put a lot of thought. Everything clean and tidy, comfy beds and a nice bathtub reminding of a hot spring basin

Fair
The room was very clean and inexpensive and well located next to both the rail and bus stations. The staff were helpful and there was a good coffee shop underneath the hotel. We found the accommodation available at short notice as a typhoon had delayed our train.
There was nowhere to put luggage or hooks to hang items. You are literally living out of a suitcase. We skipped the breakfast as it looked unappetising.

It is conveniently located by the train station, the design of the hostel is very cool.
Nothing I can think of.

Poor
Great location, right in front of the train station and walkable to most city's attraction.
Communal lounge is big with multiple set of seating for various need, including a full kitchen for guests' use.
Dusty, very dusty. Ended up with major allergy reaction.
The value is horrible for a bunk bed, extremely overpriced.
Thank you for your information!
