Backpackers Inn

Good value for money. Few minutes walk to Ximending night market. Nearest MRT Station is NTU Hospital. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Everyday free egg per person. If I go back to Taipei, this is where I’m gonna stay again.

Backpackers Inn was the best hostel I’ve stayed in so far. Stayed for 4 nights. I requested for a bottom bunk bed because of a foot injury, and while they gave me a top bunk, they gave me one that can be reached by stairs instead of a ladder. So it was perfectly fine. The bed was very cozy and the blanket was sooo thick, which was good because the AC can get really cold. The free breakfast was good. Basically, you get coffee, tea, bread, jam, peanut butter, chocolate, and egg that you have to cook by yourself. There were a couple of days when there was tuna and mayo, which I loved. The free breakfast helps especially if you’re on a budget trip. The common area was nice, with a rooftop view. The hostel also has coin laundry. Shampoo, body wash, hot and cold shower, and hair dryer was also provided, with a vanity area for the girls. I just wish that they also provide towels with bunk bed accommodations, or at least have towels for rent. Also, it was really noisy for a couple of nights during my stay there. I remember it was past midnight and a group of other tourists were talking and laughing so loudly in the corridor. Not the hostel’s fault but I wish they would emphasize the “no noise after 11pm” rule to the guests.

Staying in this place was incredibly good, clean and warm atmosphere. Nice people and perfect service. Good location, close to everything like train station. Everything was walking distance. Good price, value for money. Highly recommend!
