On My Way - Taipei Hostel

LikedI really liked staying here. Maybe I came in with a low bar having stayed in a couple of cramped spots in Taipei city proper, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the beds at On My Way were spacious and clean - there is definitely enough space in the room for you to open your suitcase if you've brought one. Bathrooms were also clean, and there's a laundry machine and dryer available for use at low cost (TWD 60).

LikedIt was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful, there is lots to see in area

DislikedIt's a bit far from the centre, about 20-30 min by MRT, so if you want to visit sights like Jiufen Old Street or Shifen Waterfall (which takes about 1-1,5 hours from the centre) it will now take over 2 hours. But to me it's definitely worth the extra travel time.

LikedThe price and the staff are the main reasons.

DislikedI stayed for two nights, the noises in the room facing the street are barely bearable. The smell of the room on the second day is terrible, most likely of the over-aged shoes, socks, or the feet are the strong suspects.
